LST Innovation on Solana with FP Lee from Sanctum

In episode 14, Oskari and I are joined by FP Lee of Sanctum to discuss innovation within the liquid staking market on Solana.

During the episode, FP shares his unique views and the “key insight” that made him realize that building a “liquidity moat” similar to Lido on Ethereum would be a losing strategy on the Solana network….which ultimately led to Sanctum and the ability for anyone to spin up a liquid staking token.

Tune in to episode 14 to learn how it all works and the unique use cases Sanctum is already unlocking within Solana.
