Unlocking Privacy for DeFi with Joe Andrews | The DeFi Podcast
Joe Andrews is the CoFounder of Aztec Protocol, developing a next-generation encrypted blockchain secured by Ethereum.
In this podcast, Joe discusses with me the long awaited development of technology to enable us to transact privately in DeFi, while inheriting the security of the Ethereum blockchain. We talk about why privacy is a right, how Aztec has launched their Aztec Connect SDK to build seamless integrations with DeFi protocols, and the benefits of private payments and DeFi transactions using their flagship product, zk.money.
