Tenderize is a liquid staking protocol pioneering a new approach that they call Liquid staking 2.0. According to Head Chef Alec Shaw, the goal is twofold:
- To protect against the centralizing forces of traditional liquid staking.
- To activate liquid staking for longer tail assets
To set the stage for our discussion, Alec helps us to understand:
- What is Liqud Staking?
- What are its benefits and drawbacks?
- What are the problems with existing Liquid Staking Protocols?
For the founders, we discuss:
- Go-to-market strategy
- Building a reputation and establishing trust in your project and brand
- How they structured version 1 as a security proof of concept (and how it helped them establish the Lindy Effect).
- The benefits and drawbacks of founder/team doxxing
- Team size and structure
- How they are structuring V2 and beyond to build on this foundation
