Jai Bhavnani is the CoFounder and CEO of Waymont Co, a developer of the Royco Protocol.

In this episode, we cover how Royco Protocol will revolutionize liquidity markets. We're joined by the legendary cofounder of Rari Capital, Jai Bhavnani, to get a first look at what we believe is the biggest DeFi primitive to launch since Uniswap. Royco's onchain liquidity orderbook with programmable markets can solve market inefficiencies currently plaguing DeFi, which have led to issues around high FDV launches. This is one of the most disruptive ideas we've ever come across and you're getting a sneak peak long before the protocol goes live!

This piece is a collaboration with talented artist Pinxx
When I was digging my archives I found an untitled poem that was written around 30! years ago.
Its message and vibe immediately made me recall Pinxx’s rebel art pieces so I sent her the poem.
The rest is history!

was minted and sold as 1/1

I don’t need permission
to make my own decisions.
I have right to be bold
even if I don’t wear gold.
If I dress like a vandal
it doesn’t mean I can’t wear sandals.
And if I really like Prodigy
it doesn’t mean that I’m crazy.
I don’t really care
about what people say.
They think I need roots & ties
but I think otherwise.
If I scream loud when I’m mad
it doesn’t mean that I’m bad.
And if I wanna become independent and rich
it doesn’t mean that I’m a bitch!
