In the last episode, we had invited Rohit Goyal of Mesh Finance to help us begin to understand the world of cryptocurrencies. For this episode, we have him back to take us for a deeper dive into the world of Decentralized Finance and DAOs or decentralized autonomous organizations. Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, has taken the world by storm and there's a crazy number of projects being built in this space.
