Thank you. Well, there's a will, there's a way, kind of beautiful. And every night has its day, so magical.
And if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle.
That can't be defeated.
For every tyrant and tear, for the vulnerable.
And every lost soul, the bones of a miracle.
For every dreamer, a dreamer unstoppable
With something to believe in
Monday left me broken
Tuesday I was through with hoping
Wednesday my empty arms were open
Thursday waiting for long waiting for long
say the
stars
it's Friday
I'm burning
like a fire
gone wild
on Saturday

be coming
to church
on Sunday
I'll be
waiting for
long
waiting for
long
to come
around So come around Thank you. We are one of a kind, irreplaceable.
How did I get so blind and so cynical?
In this love, in this life, we're unstoppable.
No, we can't be defeated.
Monday left me broken.
Tuesday, I was through with hoping.
Wednesday, my empty arms were open.
Thursday, waiting for me, waiting for me.
I'll send the stars this, waiting for love to come around Thank you. GM, GM everybody, welcome to a new show with nibiru chain the web free hub
ushering in the next era of money nibiru is a blockchain and small contract hub with defi
or was and more find more information in the link in the bio. Today, we're talking about unlocking liquidity, Stargate, Oku,
and Leia Bank on Nibiru. And we're going to get some incredible guest speakers up on stage to
discuss exactly that. We've also got Unique Divine with me in the co-host spot. If you do not make
the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate, the co-founder and CEO building Nibiru
chain.
Before we go any further, Unique, I'll get the mic over to you.
How's it going?
You excited for the show today?
Got tons to talk about.
Yeah, definitely excited.
You know, we're nearing the kickoff of our campaign that we announced pretty recently.
And yeah, it's just exciting to see all of the apps going live on Nibiru.
Absolutely.
And look, I think there is a couple of Xbox going around right now.
So audience, please do bear with us as we get our guest speakers up on stage.
But the big, big news is obviously we've got tons to talk about today.
So let's get the likes and retweets of the show out if we can.
It's going to be a fun one.
Do we, because look, X can be a little funky in two ways.
One is it gets really difficult to actually get people up on stage.
The other way is that it doesn't show you who is up on stage.
I think we do have Blue on stage right now.
So Blue, you are looking like a
listener but i can just tell by the way you're using emojis on x that i think you're up on stage
so i'll throw the mic over to you could you please just give us a little introduction to who you are
what the project is you're speaking on behalf of today and why you're up on stage with us at Nibiru right now
yes we do have you can hear me nice yeah yeah we got you it's great to hear that twitter spaces is still completely broken and bug ridden it's it's just crazy it's been like this for years
I used to host spaces uh my previous role at Trader Joe, and so many issues all the
time. But yeah, thanks for having me. My name is Blue Clarity. I joined Stargate about four months
ago. Yeah, like I said, previously I was the CMO at Trader Joe. That's at Dexon Avalanche. So I've
been working in the space for almost about four years, and I'm also a bit of an on chain djn as well but um my role at stargate is uh it's more
my title is narrative lead but i'm basically the voice of the brand or that's what i'm building
anyway so marketing brand strategy and all of the fun stuff most people know stargate is a bridge
stargate uh tldr today is a global liquidity layer for DeFi. So it's more a case of critical infrastructure
and liquidity piping. We connect just over 80 chains. We let users, builders move liquidity,
money, value between different chains instantly at low cost. And yeah, I'm really happy to be here
and talk more about Nibiru and the upcoming ecosystem campaign that they've got. I've been in DeFi, as I said,
for a while, and I do love the ecosystem initiatives such as this. So yeah, excited to learn more.
Yeah, Blue, look, it's good to know I've got at least one person up on stage who knows the
trials and tribulations of trying to run a show on X.
But really, really love hearing about you and what you guys are cooking up now with Nibiru
and probably don't miss all of those X hijinks either. Look, we've also got Alex now on stage,
so it does look like our guest speakers are managing to get up. Big shout out to
the host behind the Nibiru account today for making that happen. Alex, we'd love to get the
mic over to you.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself
and the project you're speaking on behalf of today?
Yeah. Hey, everybody.
My name is Alex.
I run the social medias here at Oku.
If you guys don't know what Oku is,
we make DeFi really simple.
So we have bridging, swapping.
You can provide liquidity on Oku,
you can borrow and lend, you can place
limit orders. So just
a lot of functionality into
one app. But yeah, thank you for the invite
and happy to be here.
Thank you so much for hopping
up, Alex. And finally, the last
speaker I can see is BinaryHair,
CryptoSense13.
BinaryHair would love to hear a little bit more about you
and the project you're speaking on behalf of today.
Hey, I'm kind of alongside Alex, so I work at Oku as well. I lead BD efforts here.
As Alex said, Oku really is just kind of emerging as one of the big players in DeFi simplification, if you will, swap aggregation, bridge aggregation,
LP, lending and borrowing all under one roof.
We serve over 34 blockchains and counting right now.
So we're making it really easy for anyone to interact
with the Nibiru ecosystem in and out of Nibiru
and all these other chains all at once,
all under one roof.
A really exciting time to sort of ramp up
DeFi efforts on Nibiru. Got some great incentive plans coming too. So that should be really exciting
for the overall ecosystem. Nice to be a part of the stage with Layer Bank and Stargate.
Stargate is, you know, making huge waves in terms of interoperability and making sure
you can go from one ecosystem to the other. So they are truly key players in the space.
But yeah, thanks for having me up.
Alex and I will probably share some of the questions coming up next.
But cheers, guys.
No, awesome.
Well, what I'll do then, I'll just announce the questions via the product and OkuTrade
that you're speaking on behalf of today.
And you guys can figure out who's best to answer that one or both come in like absolutely up to you guys i think we
also have sharon up on the stage chief cheerleader at leah bank five defy cali home girl hey sharon
i don't know if you're up on stage with the x bugs that are going around but i'll do a quick
mic test and if not um then you know we'll basically make sure we can try and get
you up on stage. Yeah. Can you hear me? Oh, we do have you. Okay. So yeah, X is just bugging people.
Sharon, can you tell me a little bit about yourself and the project you're speaking on behalf of today?
Sure. I'm Sharon. I lead business development at LyraBank. So at LyraBank, we're bringing universal liquidity to Nibiru. We're
an on-chain money market, basically redefining DeFi with cross-chain compatibility. Thank you
for having us here. Absolute pleasure. And look, that is all the projects we do have up on stage.
So fantastic to hear. And now let's dive straight into the conversation um look blue i think the first
question i'll throw over to you here um which definitely is for listeners new to stargate
can you explain how its relationship to layer zero and what is the oft standard how does it
improve the user experience on nibiru yeah. There's a few key questions there.
First of all, actually, it's quite an interesting
experience I found out since joining
Stargate because I began to realize that pretty much
no one understands the difference between
Layer 0 and Stargate and often even people that
integrate Layer 0 or the OF, and often even people that
integrate Layer 0 or the OFT standard for their token or use Stargate, even those people don't really kind of understand some of the nuances and the differences between the two brands and
products. But TLDR's short history lesson, Layer 0, the team launched Stargate as their proof of concept for Layer 0 messaging.
That was in 2022.
It worked out as, you know, they aimed for it to work out in terms of itself,
the bridging to RLMR, this new way of messaging standards,
is something that they continue to build.
And people know Layer 0 for, you know, its dominating presence across the Define landscape today.
But you can think of it in this way.
It's almost like layer zero with Microsoft,
and in order to sell their operating system with Microsoft,
they basically built a killer app, Microsoft Office,
and then they sold that and that was the way to
expand Microsoft to what it is today.
They used a killer app to then sell the operating system behind that app.
That's kind of the approach that Layer 0 took with Stargate.
I would say up until nine months ago,
12 months ago, Stargate started to go on its own path,
build out a dedicated team.
We're about 20 people today and we're continuing to grow.
We have our own roadmap, we're building in our own direction.
But we have a very close relationship with Layer 0 because the tech is complementary from a perspective of Stargate has built on Layer 0 technology.
And there are today somewhere like 520 apps that have now built on Layer 0 technology.
that have now built on layer zero technology.
Stargate moves or has integrated about 240, 250 OFTs.
There are about, I think, 300 or so in circulation.
So Stargate basically has built on layer zero messaging.
We move liquidity like native assets, so actual liquidity.
Layer zero is kind of the layer below that.
It's just messaging.
It's OF t messaging back
and forth between blockchains but stargate uses layers or messaging as well um we we have a
dominating amount of kind of of ofts on our front end so basically we we built on layer zero we have
a very close working relationship with them and you know we help move many OFDs back and forth between 80 or so chains
and a small shout out to Okutrade as well because being a kind of a DeFi hub and integrating that
many chains that they've integrated it's really impressive that's that's more than some bridge
protocols today so shout out to you guys uh um a brief kind of tldr on what is of t of t stands for omni chain fungible token
that is the token standard introduced by layer zero that basically enables any token that has
adopted that standard to move natively between any supported blockchains um any supported blockchains
that has a laser endpoint attached so nibiru being one of those blockchains that has a layer zero endpoint attached, so Nibiru being one of those blockchains.
And that means the token can move without being wrapped,
without actually being bridged.
So it's just a case of it gets burned on the source chain
and then minted on the destination chain.
So it's basically a token standard that is built to be scalable
with DeFi as it continues to grow. It's just a unified way
to introduce a token and it future proves any protocol with their token to be scalable and
meet the demands and needs of DeFi and whatever direction a developer and their team want to take
an app. The OFT, if their token has adopted that standard, just makes them ready for that
OmniChain world. And that's kind of also why OFTs are great. And, you know, shout out to Nibi as
well. The Nibi token is also an OFT on top of the Hydra integration that we've got with Stargate
for the Nibiru ecosystem. So Nibiru is an ecosystem that is omni-chain ready.
Well, look, massive shout out to you guys and definitely want to dive a little bit further
into Stargate. Also appreciate you. Look, again, I can tell that you've been on Spaces before
because answering the exact question I would have asked next, which is what is an OFT for
the audience who might not be familiar with the terminology just yet, but already got to that.
So great hearing from you there, Blue.
Before we do go any further on the Stargate side, though, Unique, I think it might be good to actually just take a step back.
And can you give us a quick recap of where Nibiru stands today with all of these projects, obviously, on stage to talk a little bit more about what they're building in line with that yeah so the main point that we're at today is nibiru started as only having
contracts in rust and wasm with its initial main launch last year soon after that one of the main
features or like big initiatives we wanted to add was making it multi-VM.
So it's very uncommon for layer ones to have more than one smart contract language.
In our case, it still supports all of this stuff that you get out of the box with the
Cosmos SDK and Wasm, but we added full EVM support.
So it operates, you know, a standard Ethereum JSON RPC. And basically,
you can, using these same nodes, power, you know, what feels like using another like ETH layer 2 or
something, right, for apps to deploy on it. And that was the main major initiative to work on
basically going into the start of this year. So we got that to mainnet. And then the key thing there is then get a pipeline of apps to co-launch together.
And so the several that we're talking to in the space are some of the key players
in the season one for our first major liquidity campaign.
And so basically Stargate is crucial to the EVM onboarding for being fully on-chain, right?
So that you don't need a centralized exchange to get to Nibiru.
But it'll also be pretty crucial for a lot of the priority that we put for things in the ecosystem is on RWAs and passive yield, like interest- tokens and so the OFT standard will be very crucial for that too so that people can loop and they can go play with other DeFi Legos like perps and other things.
Okay yeah already you know connecting those dots but really appreciate
how to take their unique and just to dive further into Stargate for now Blue I would love to know
from all we've heard about OFTs why is it valuable for apps like Oku and Layerbank to adopt this OFT standard?
Yeah, I mean, you know, building on Layer Zero messaging is just becoming a standard.
Like I said, there are over 520 apps that are now built on Layer Zero.
over 520 apps that are now built on layer zero.
And you can take an example of,
if you compare that to chains
in terms of how many protocols are building on chains,
layer zero has more apps than,
well, is the sixth largest by chain
if you look up the amount of protocols
building on these individual chains.
So basically, there are a huge amount of apps
that are layer zero, omni-chain kind of enabled.
And that's accelerating as well.
That's going to continue growing
in terms of the amount of applications
that are building on layer zero in some form.
And it's not just applications either.
As I said, it's OFTs.
It's actual token standards.
Over something like 350 OFT enabled tokens.
And obviously hundreds of apps are then choosing to issue their tokens
using the OFT standards so they can build omni chains such as Oku,
which is over 30 chains, which is just kind of mad.
If you go back a couple of years ago,
or even about three, four years ago,
there was such an isolating effect in DeFi where you would basically launch an app,
you would be on a single chain, and that was kind of it.
And you had all these barriers to, as a user,
between going to different chains
because bridging was very much broken back then
and interruptibility wasn't really a word people were even aware of. Fast forward to today,
completely different. In a few years time from now, who knows, but there's going to be many,
many more blockchains, many more apps, loads of tokens, and it's going to be absolutely critical
to be omni-chained
so you're not isolating yourself into a single ecosystem.
You need to build with scale,
and Layer Zero enables you to do that.
It gives you scalability on demand, basically.
And it's proven over the last few years
in terms of how it's accelerating.
Just the velocity of tokens going between chains,
the rate of adoption,
the dominating kind of market share that Layer Zero has,
just because it is a tech that works
and people are able to build apps and grow tokens,
scalable and on demand
in terms of meeting the needs of what we're seeing
in DeFi and the wider market today.
I mean, we even have government bodies adopting the OFT standard to introduce the token, right?
So it goes up to the very highest level of even the real world.
Yeah, no, that's super important context.
And yeah, I really appreciate you sharing, Blue.
I think, look, clearly a lot to unpack here and the technicals on this as well
for the audience i think is really important to break down unique maybe you can come in here and
give us a bit more context on specifically why stargate is a key piece of nibiru's ecosystem
you know what what is the value proposition here uh to help towards nibiberia and what you're building?
Yeah, so a lot of it, you know, Blue touched on.
I mean, one is just if you're already coming from like the IBC ecosystem, you want something that works at a similar speed and also can scale to support a large number of chains.
At least from our perspective, Layer Zero and and Stargate have made the standard for scaling to multiple EVM chains and now even non-EVM.
And it just seems like a natural choice, especially with the permissionless nature of creating new omni-chain tokens.
Because that was something particularly that we needed needed for our bd efforts i would say
yeah no exactly and uh really really interesting to be able to put all of these projects up on
stage together and dive into that favor really useful show uh to really unpack everything that
nibiru were building and all these projects alongside. I think, look, Blue, give me,
in as layman's terms as you can put it, how Stargate helps make the Nibiru EVM more accessible,
especially when it comes to capital and liquidity.
Yeah, I think the most simple kind of value proposition that Stargate brings, Nibiru.
So Nibiru is one of 29 Hydra chains,
which basically means it's connected
into Stargate's global liquidity layer
spanning about 80 chains or so,
but it's connected via layer zero messaging.
So the tokens that we integrate into nibiru now that
stargate's live usdc usdt and raptif these are actually ofts that are minted into the ecosystem
they are compliant standard and basically what that means you're probably using usdc
What that means, you're probably using USDC, ETH, USDT on other chains.
Maybe you're active on a few other chains, but basically these are very popular tokens.
They are amongst the top 10 largest, right?
And Stargate's integration into Nibiru with these standards, virus, hydro integration,
these are the same standards that you would likely be using
on many other chains. So if all of a sudden Nibiru is about to launch its ecosystem campaign,
many users will see this on the timeline. Oh, Nibiru is launching incentives. Maybe I want to
move my liquidity over there. Well, you can. You can do that instantly at low cost because
Stargate's integration is pre-native,
but it's compliance standard. So it's the same standard. It's the same native standard that
you're probably using on Arbitrum. It's the same standard that we've integrated into
Say, for example. So all of a sudden, Nibiru wants to launch ecosystem campaigns, scale liquidity to grow users.
Stargate's integration lets them do that on day one without any issues to access, without any questions around user experience.
It used to be such a problem.
Can I use this USDC on this chain?
Let me just check if it's the same standard.
Stargate removes all of that. Same standard, regardless if it's
native or pre-native, it's the same standard from 50 plus chains. So it's so important for access
and user experience. And it lets Nibiru do day one launch without worrying about those two issues.
Now, fascinating. And yeah, really appreciate that breakdown both for me but also for
the audience especially i have also seen on x that stargate is part of the block party campaign
can you just explain to our audience what that is and what tasks users complete to aim rewards
or you know as the team calls it aura yeah i mean, that's kind of why I've tuned in as well,
because I don't actually know myself.
So I want to find out, because I want to participate as well.
Unique, who can answer this question?
Is this one maybe for you?
Sure.
So there's basically, it's a lot of it we have centered around time-weighted active deployment of liquidity.
So basically you look at, let's say for a protocol like lending, you can see how much someone is borrowing, right?
In another case, you may have like in an AMM or in an OCU's case, look at the actual pools where the liquidity is deployed and then
you come up with a score to compare across them but on the other side of that we also have missions
for example to like bridging right so stargate uh comes in with people onboarding liquidity to
the chain that's like a piece of the the campaign the other one is just the active deployment of it
in different apps and so one some side of this is on galaxy and the other side is just the active deployment of it in different apps. And so some side of this is on Galaxy,
and the other side is tracked directly on Chain via Merkle.
And basically, this first season centers around a lot of those core DeFi Legos,
and then we add in more apps post that.
Okay, perfect.
I think Blue is very happy with that answer too um look let's keep moving there
we've got a bunch of um incredible guest speakers up on stage and obviously projects behind those
guest speakers so i guess next let's go to oku uh oku what are the core features of oku
yeah nice uh way to kind of kick things off and get accustomed to what oku is um really
we're one of the top front ends built on uniswap v3 um everyone knows uniswap it's sort of the s
tier standard for liquidity you may have an opinion on that or not um but regardless it runs volume
it holds tvl um and it makes sure that tokens are accessible by all sorts of blockchains and networks all under one roof.
So we've built sort of like a fantastic aggregation service.
I like to call us the aggregator of aggregators.
There are so many different trade and bridge aggregators out there.
May as well merge technology into one where you can really utilize all of them
so kind of to start our our swap aggregation we um we integrate 10 different routers so those
that's cow swap enzo ice cream swap kyber swap odos okx uh one inch open ocean paraswap unison
obviously uniswap itself and zero x a crazy amount of routers. So you're always
getting the fastest execution and the best prices from wherever they source their liquidity.
Excuse me. Now, if we're talking in terms of bridging, we're also integrated with 11 different
bridges, a crazy variety there as well. I actually want to read you off some of the bridges that we
have integrated. Wormhole, Sockets, Li-Fi, which is Jumper, Across, Chainlink, Orbiter, obviously
Stargate, our friends today, Squid, Wanchain, D-Bridge. A crazy amount of bridging options to
go from one network to the other. Basically, if your network is integrated or supported by one of these bridges,
you automatically get support through the Oku front end.
But oh no, we're totally not done
talking about the features there.
I think we really pride ourselves
on our liquidity provision management interface.
It's really easy to either create a pool on Oku or actually manage
your liquidity across multiple networks. I actually just did a test pool on Nibiru because we just
launched very recently with them. I created a wrapped Nibi and USDT Stargate pool just with a
tiny bit of liquidity to prove to myself, honestly, how easy that was to get kicked off
and started. So that was extremely easy to do. But also, you know, I keep dropping more features
and fun things to do in Oku. Another thing is our V3 analytics page too. You'll notice if you go on
Uniswap, on their front end, they really only support chains that they feel,
let's say, are big and in the starlight. We give visibility to everybody and we give deep and
insightful analytics to any chain that we support within Oku. So on V3 Analytics, check out all the
pools, the volumes, the revenues, the fees generated, where liquidity sits, manage your positions
actively through there, and literally get a deep dive into any ecosystem that you're
interested in.
So not many services provide that level of in-depth data.
We're kind of the self-proclaimed kings of indexing and data.
We do the dirty work that not a lot of people want to
support. You could probably imagine the stress on our network and cloud hosting bill every month to
have all of this data available for you. So some really cool features, I think, that provide a
great experience for Oku and obviously a main liquidity hub for Nibiru. Everyone trusts Uniswap V3 and it's not going away.
It's been battle tested through the many, many years that they've been running.
So yeah, building aggregation on top of one of the best liquidity protocols in the space
is kind of our bread and butter.
Look, that is so interesting to hear.
I love the way you've broken that down.
Sounds like a node might need to come in
to play at some point with all those service fees.
But I really, really do love the way that's been broken down.
Can you tell me how OkuSwap and Bridge
and liquidity tools differ from other DEXs, for example?
Yeah, it's really about the aggregation kind of as I already alluded to,
and the deep analytics that you can't really find anywhere else.
You know, if you have Nibiru pools on Uniswap, which are currently live, by the way,
you know, have fun going to Uniswap and trying to find metrics for those.
You simply can't.
So basically what we do with the trading experience is just make it easy for people to interoperate
within the ecosystem, get their coins in, get their coins out, deploy liquidity where incentives
are. And I know Alex may be talking about incentives in the A aura farming program in just a little bit. So I won't kind
of leak anything out there. But yeah, you know, it's the hub for people to interact with and
really make sense of the ecosystem and why you are participating in the first place.
As kind of a quick note right now, obviously Stargate supports Nibiru in full. We actually had a fun little
outage with DigitalOcean's cloud infrastructure yesterday. Probably a lot of people in the crowd
recognize that it may have affected their blockchain or their systems or perhaps even
their token scanner or token explorer. So we're dealing with a bit of re-syncing issues on the
back end right now and we're working to ensure that the stargate bridge routes are are in fact
fully available on oku basically our engineer team is just working waking up right now so we're going
to make sure all of those routes that you see on stargate's ui are fully available on the oku ui
routes that you see on Stargate's UI are fully available on the Oku UI. So stay tuned for that,
but should have a quick fix without, sorry, a quick fix ready to go probably within a few hours.
Oh, amazing. Yeah, I'm sure some of the audience would really appreciate that.
Look, it sounds like depth is, you know, the key factor here when it does come to Oku.
With the tools that you currently have and all the features,
do you think there are any that, you know,
really are most valuable for users?
Is there any that you would immediately tell new users to the platform
to go and check out?
Absolutely.
And I've totally hit on this already because I love repeating myself
apparently, but it's definitely about LPEing.
You know, merkle campaigns wherever
those additional bonus reward campaigns live you can do right inside of oku so you know depending
on what pools are incentivized with different aprs and different rewards incentive programs
come over here and lp uh it takes about a a minute. I can prove that to
anybody that wants a screen recording, it truly takes a
minute to start LPing, you see where your position is, we make
it also easy for users to see when your position is in range
and out of range. Obviously, if you want to collect as many
rewards as possible, perhaps deciding to increase your range
to make sure you cover that full scope
of trading prices within the pool
that you are deploying liquidity to.
So I would say the most seamless
and easiest feature to use
is definitely our LP management system.
Basically, come farm rewards, TLDR,
simple as hell.
Now, look, again, love it it and thank you for repeating yourself i think really want to dive into this but uh absolutely great takes and really love like how deep into
the product we can get to and alex this one sounds like it might be for you as we do get to
the aura question um as one of the apps featured in block party season one
what quests can users complete to earn aura yeah so uh some some alpha here for for everybody
because i know everybody's excited about the block party so we decided to make it super simple for
users um so there's only two two tasks that they need to do if they want to get started.
So just all they have to do is follow Oku on Twitter and then visit Oku.
That's all they have to do.
So super simple.
And then I'll give you guys some more alpha.
You're going to want to swap.
And that's all I'm going to say.
I'm just going to say that.
Just make sure you swap on Oku.
But yeah, super simple.
We're going to need more than that.
Like, how many times do I need to swap?
Give us precise instructions.
Yeah, yeah, we won't tell a single person.
Look, Alex, I think everyone can appreciate that.
Everyone can appreciate that. Everyone can appreciate that.
And if you need to read any further
between the lines there, people, I really can't
help you.
Although Blue does seem to be trying.
Look, absolutely love it, Alex.
Any final thoughts from you?
And then I would love to throw the mic
over to the Layerbank team.
Yeah, just like Dan said, we'll have the bridging, you know,
sorted in a couple hours.
So you'll be able to bridge on Stargate.
And then the nice thing about Stargate is you can bridge with size
and there's no slippage issue.
So, you know, if you bridge $5,000, you're going to get, you know,
$5,000 on the other side. So definitely
go check it out. And we're excited for that to go live.
Awesome, awesome stuff. And look, listeners, if you are enjoying this, this is such a great
breakdown, not just of Nibiru, but the projects and protocols and value that we can add on this
one. So get the likes, get the retweets of the show out if you haven't already, as we get the mic over to LayerBank and to Sharon behind the mic here.
Sharon, tell us a little bit more about LayerBank's lending platform.
Yeah. So LayerBank has been around for two years. If you've been around for the peak of the EVM
based L2s, like Onlinia, Manta, and Scroll, you might have heard of us.
We are currently integrated with 17th chain.
Nipiru marks our lucky 17th, and we support more than 150 markets.
And the reason why we support so many chains is because our multi-chain expansion drives direct value to our cross-chain strategy.
I don't know how DeFi native the audience is, but the TVL in DeFi is around $110 billion.
And even though the product market fit seems very high,
capital is actually fragmented across siloed ecosystems,
fragmented across siloed ecosystems, which prevents liquidity from flowing efficiently.
which prevents liquidity from flowing efficiently.
And that's why protocols that focus on interoperability like Oku, Stargate, and Layer Zero
really focuses on increasing capital efficiency and liquidity and ultimately the user experience.
And that's what we're focused on building.
Amazing. And tell me about the assets then. Can you tell me what assets can you use as collateral for loans?
So I think it depends on each chain. For Nibiru, we have, you know, Nibi, USDC, state EBI.
But our upcoming launch of our isolated lending markets will ultimately allow experimental markets like RWAs or meme tokens to eventually be permissionlessly listed on LayerBank. So that you can have like a risk averse way of collateralizing experimental markets to borrow
assets. Right, okay, incredible stuff. And tell me, why should a user choose to use Layerbank then
over maybe some other lending platforms? So you've got Compound, you've got Morpho.
Why choose Layerbank?
That's a great question. I think there's a lot of great lending protocols out there.
But for Layerbank, we're focused on the user experience in the first step.
And that is our transition from multi-chain to cross-chain, leveraging Layer0,
which will allow seamless interoperability and unified liquidity across not just EVM ecosystems, but EVM, MOVE, and BTC ecosystems. And on top of the cross-chain
infrastructure, we're going to be launching our own Omni-chain, Yield-Bearing Stablecoin
that allows diverse assets to be collateralized to mint our stablecoin cross-chain.
All right, and you've touched on this,
but once LayerBank is integrated with Nibiru,
what will users be able to do on the platform?
We're currently live on Nibiru.
So I think you can also just, you know,
the borrow and lend and all the products that,
the features that I did explain,
but we will also be participating in the upcoming block party campaign.
And I think the tasks are pretty simple.
So would appreciate participation and support there.
Fair enough.
Can you tell us anything more about those tasks?
Of course.
So our tasks are really simple. I think first you guys should go to LearBank and
follow our Twitter. And then you go to our website and then you borrow Nibi. Okay. Yeah, that is
definitely simple. So Sharon, thank you so much for that. And look, really, really great hearing
from you and all of our speakers so far. I want to get mic back over to unique here unique how close are we to nibiru evm being
available to use by the public here yeah so the the main thing uh technically it's been live on
mainnet since around february but the main blocker was just having proper apps for onboarding. So it's
completely available for anyone to use.
Before it was more so if they just had to figure out
how to get assets on the chain, but now with Stargate, Dex
liquidity, and other tools, it should be fully functional if they
want to do a fully on-chain user experience.
You can bridge in right now.
We're up.
We're live.
We're ready to go.
Let's go.
Awesome.
Okay.
Well, look, guys, that we flew through.
I'm really, really interested to see how quickly we could get through that much information
on so many products and projects on stage.
Way quicker than I assumed, actually.
So really appreciate the time and the thought that's come into answering those questions.
And a big shout out to all of our guest speakers who clearly, you know, had their homework done and ready for the show today.
I guess that does, though, give us a little bit more time to maybe add any last words about the projects that are being built here.
Where can listeners stay connected with the apps?
What more? Is there any milestones, any updates coming to your projects that you'd like the listeners to know about?
So maybe just go in the order of which we started asking the questions with.
So Blue, Mike, over to you. Any updates, any milestones, any last words for audience that you know will
give them a little bit more about how to stay connected uh best place is the stargate discord
uh that's pretty much where we have all our kind of core community updates we'll just follow
stargate on x we pretty much just go on those two social platforms um if you do have a linkedin
account you can follow us but we're kind of new there and talking about linkedin on x is kind of taboo
but uh yeah um stargate is live on nibiru so you can bridge in size no slippage most efficient way
to move your money on chain to nibiru that's, Blue. And yeah, let's get the mic over
to Binary here for the Oku side.
Any final updates, milestones, anything that you'd like to share with our audience
since we have time? Feel free to give us
any places that the listeners can stay connected with the app.
Yeah, absolutely. I'll keep it short.
Swap, bridge, LP, dive deep into analytics.
You know, the main liquidity hub for Nibiru coming very, very soon, aka hours ago, already live.
You can join our Discord and we're actually always super responsive you can chat directly with the co-founders the devs uh alex and myself there we have a private telegram group as well for anyone that's
doing swapping and wants a little bit of extra help um and you know if you swap in size on nibru
you can even book a special appointment with me which is kind of a hilarious feature uh i give
you a nice little 30-minute spot
to get all your feedback in one place,
and we literally make changes to the platform
based on your input.
So yeah, Twitter, Telegram, Discord, no LinkedIn.
Sorry, guys.
We feel a strong opinion about LinkedIn.
I think you can understand.
It's kind of a funny place to exist.
I hate it over there. You get it. Yeah, thanks, guys. Looking forward to taking part in the
incentive program. Also, since Nibiru is associated with Merkle, you'll be able to see all of those
rewards inside Oku and see what you're actually farming so that's
super cool thanks i love that i also love the little uh 30 minute windows that people can grab
look that's just great great initiative like you know the big users like get get them in there get
the feedback and uh just yeah just be receptive to that but that must be that must be some time um hopefully
not as much time as blue has to spend in linkedin um but who knows who knows um look let's get the
mic over to sharon before we do close out sharon any updates any milestones anything at all that
you'd like to share on behalf of layer bank um and you know where can listeners stay connected
with layer bank yeah so we do have
a few product launches that we're excited about coming up um within this month we're going to be
launching our one-click leverage looping vaults allowing cross protocol one-click strategies
um once we do um implement our cross-chain it'll also be uh cross-chain looping strategies as well
um in q3 we're going to be
launching our omni chain yield bearing stable coins so please stay tuned for that you can stay
connected with us on our x or also our discord um we're already live on nibiru ready to go
um so waiting for um more people to participate in the campaign. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Sharon.
And look, for our listeners,
that's about all we do have time for today.
So just before we close out,
I want to get the mic back over to you.
Unique, same question to you here.
And feel free to go into detail because I say we're out of time,
but we definitely got a couple minutes left
at the very least.
Any updates, any milestones,
anything that we haven't been able to touch on today
with this conversation in regards to Nibiru Chain
that you'd like to feed back to our audience
and where can they go to just stay up to date?
Yeah, one thing I would check out
is the blog posts and announcement
for the campaign overall.
So that touches on more of the applications as well.
Of course, people will see them through the interface,
but there's like a whole suite of other DeFi apps
that people can come use for the campaign.
So definitely check that out.
But of course, following us on X is the best place.
And then the Telegram and Discord community
is a pretty active too for Nibiru.
Okay, well, look, yeah, we do have a couple of minutes left if anyone wants to to come in here but otherwise yeah happy happy to wrap up as well so massive massive shout out again to blue to alex
to binary hair to sharon and of course to nabiru chain and unique for putting this one together
