Floating into Defi w/ Jason

Jason is a computer scientist and musician who bumped into blockchain while searching for an honors project, resonating with Ethereum ethos immediately. As he learned more about protocols, DeFi stood out from him, where after hard lessons he decided to start and co-found an interesting and bold endeavor: a protocol to leverage without liquidations called Float.

Glossary

Oracle - In blockchain, oracles are trusted sources that provide off-chain data to smart contracts. They allow decentralized applications to interact with external data in a secure and reliable manner, enabling blockchain to be used for a wider range of use cases beyond just cryptocurrency.

Volatility Decay - Volatility decay refers to the phenomenon where the value of a derivative product (such as options or futures contracts) decreases over time due to the diminishing time left until the expiration date, as well as the decreasing implied volatility of the underlying asset.

Zero-Knowledge Proof - A zero-knowledge proof is a way of proving the validity of a statement without revealing the statement itself.

Flash Loans - Flash loans are a type of uncollateralized loan that can be obtained within a single transaction on a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform. These loans allow users to borrow large sums of cryptocurrency instantly without requiring any collateral but must be paid back within the same transaction or they will be canceled. 

Impermanent Loss - Impermanent loss is a risk that liquidity providers in automated market maker (AMM) systems face due to changes in the price ratio of the tokens they provide. If the ratio of tokens changes too much, the liquidity provider may end up with fewer assets than they originally provided, resulting in losses.
