Consider staking with Interop Ventures https://interop.ventures
------------------------------------
This week I sat down with Valentin Pletnev, Founder of Quasar Finance, an Interchain yield aggregator. We discuss Quasar's concentrated liquidity and staking vaults, how Quasar works with Osmosis, vault creators that provide strategies, the tech under the hood of their product, and Cosmos DeFi. We also hear Valentin's take on why he thinks the growing amount of Cosmos chains is a bearish direction for the ecosystem.
