We’re excited to introduce the sixth launch collection on Pods.
The Defiant. 👀
Camila Russo started The Defiant back in 2019 as a small newsletter covering the emergence of Decentralized Finance. At the time, MakerDAO was the only legit project, Uniswap had just launched V1, and other legends like Aave were still trying to find their footing.
Today, not only have those projects grown into DeFi juggernauts, but so has The Defiant in the crypto media landscape. They’ve released thousands of articles, podcasts, and videos over the years, amassing hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
If you can imagine, we’re beyond excited to work with Cami and the team to release 5 of her favorite, most iconic episodes onchain.
Given The Defiant’s roots, the theme for the collection is DeFi Founders - early episodes featuring the founders of the biggest projects in DeFi, before they were big.
The collection is available for 30 days – until January 11th. Each episode is listed at an accessible price point of 0.004 ETH per episode.
The episodes featured in this collection include:
1. MakerDAO’s Rune Christensen
The first ever episode of The Defiant with Rune Christensen - recorded in April 2020.
Chainlink’s Founder Sergey highlights why DeFi builders need to take oracle risks seriously and why decentralized oracles are the solution.
Yearn’s Founder Andre talks about the launch of YFI and why it was a valueless token.
Aave’s founder Stani talks about the opportunity in lending as Aave becomes the #1 DeFi protocol by value locked.
Synthetix’s Founder Kain talks about how DeFi scales with Layer 2.
You can find all the episodes here.
The Defiant has been an OG in crypto media.
We’re honored to host their first ever onchain media on Pods – allowing the crypto community to own the iconic work that helped shape our industry.
The Defiant plans to release more and more episodes onchain, as a new way for the community to engage in the podcast.
On our end, we’re excited to continue to onboard legendary podcasts like The Defiant in the coming months.
We have so much more in store in 2024.
Thank you for all the support over the past few months.
Brick by brick.
