Stanmin for breakfast you are living your best life that's for sure. Yeah, I tried to do that on the daily. That's the creep feel life. I will let's I'm gonna start us off with some some quick introductions and then let's let's jump in because I'm really excited for this conversation and
So, yes, so my name is Kyle Langham. I'm from Definity. I work with data and analytics. I really like talking about high level philosophical questions about blockchain. I'm joined with Andrew. Andrew, do you want to do a quick introduction? >> Sure thing. I'm also from Definity and I work as a developer relations engineer.
and these days I mostly focus on different kinds of content creation including the website and also working with the ecosystem. Awesome, thanks. And then Valerie, I'm so excited to have you give you a quick second for introduction, but I want to first just say everyone.
one should be following you on Twitter because you're posting some incredible high-level conversation like thought-provoking questions and and ideas. So if you're listening to this and you haven't fallen, you're not following Valerie, make sure you do that now. But Valerie, we're excited to have you do want to just kind of do a quick introduction. Yeah. Well, first of all, that's very
kind. I have to say I'm not, it's a practice in terms of Twitter. I really admire those who are able to just get like a lot of thoughts out on paper. Definitely a good practice if anyone has any tips like would be very open to it. So in terms of personal intro and
I'm responsible for going to market at Lido Finance, which is the largest liquid-staking protocol on Ethereum. We also operate on other chains. If you guys are interested in going more into specifically good-staking, happy to do that. But that's a little bit about what I do.

business in a way to say, okay, how can we build partnerships, explore complementary synergies with whether that is on the technical front, on the business front, to really scale kind of like marketing and distribution. And that transfers really well in a world in which in Web 3 that is completely
Technically open and interoperable if the hypothesis becomes true and Where these systems are very open and I think I was speaking with Kyle and Previously about this but basically the switching costs are super low. So the way to basically how do you go to market and?
In that kind of environment is a fundamental change in which requires these kind of Positive some if we want to frame it that way like a business tactics and strategies to really kind of like be integrated everywhere and and all of that so anyway, that's a bit about my background and
from Quebec City and then yeah, I guess that's it. That's the whole thing. I feel like that's a great topic to go down. I mean, just right you mentioned there about the idea of going to market a typical, I would say non-block change strategies you would want to identify a moat.
