About this episode
Laurence Day is the CoFounder and CEO of Wildcat Labs.In this episode, we explore how Wildcat is reinventing private credit onchain, building what Laurence calls “the Craigslist of private credit.” We explore why DeFi is ready to scale undercollateralized lending, the money multiplier effect to follow it, and how Wildcat aims to be a foundational primitive to make borrowing and lending more open, flexible, and accessible for everyone.------🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/------The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources♦️ REDSTONE | THE LEADING MODULAR BLOCKCHAIN ORACLE♉︎ TOROS | EXPONENTIAL GAINS WITH LEVERAGED TOKENS🌅 NEUTRL | THE NEXT GENERATION OF CRYPTO-NATIVE YIELD🌞 SOLSTICE | PERMISSIONLESS INSTITUTIONAL YIELD🥞 SYRUPUSDC BY MAPLE | DEFI'S PREMIUM YIELD ASSET🏦 MANTLE | INNOVATING THE FUTURE OF ONCHAIN FINANCE🐡 PUFFER INSTITUTIONAL | STAKING SOLUTIONS FOR INSTITUTIONAL SCALE🌊 RIVER | A CHAIN-ABSTRACTION STABLECOIN SYSTEM⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED------Timestamps0:00 - Intro6:58 - Laurence’s background10:57 - Why keep building after the Indexed exploit?16:15 - The opportunity for undercollateralized loans in DeFi22:28 - Sponsor break23:31 - The money multiplier effect for DeFi28:38 - The elevator pitch for Wildcat30:19 - Who is Wildcat built for?35:20 - Can Wildcat legally go after borrowers?41:36 - Sponsor break42:55 - Usual terms for Wildcat lenders and borrowers45:45 - Considerations for Wildcat after Oct 10th market crash56:32 - Innovations coming to Wildcat 1:07:28 - Closing------🔗 Guest Links 🔗► Wildcat website: https://wildcat
