Base Layer Episode 165: Hart Lambur, Co-Founder at UMA; Can you create Synthetic Tokens that can Track Anything?

Base Layer

Hart joins me on Base Layer to discuss his journey from Goldman to start his company, UMA which is designed to power the financial innovations made possible by permissionless, public blockchains, like Ethereum. Using concepts borrowed from fiat financial derivatives, UMA defines an open-source protocol that allows any two counterparties to design and create their own financial contracts. But unlike traditional derivatives, UMA contracts are secured with economic incentives alone, making them self-enforcing and universally accessible. We learn how this is done, what you can do with it and much more.
