Will Prisma Finance Ignite The LST Wars? | Quick Hit

Our guest today is the anonymous cofounder of Prisma Finance.

In this Quick Hit, we spotlight a new LSTfi protocol called Prisma Finance. We discuss will Prisma ignite the LST Wars, referring to the Curve Wars among protocols competing to capture voting power to allocate Curve liquidity rewards and bootstrap early DeFi protocols.

Self-described as "the end game for LSTs," Prisma will offer a highly anticipated non-custodial and decentralized Ethereum LST-backed stablecoin. Prisma's CoFounder discusses all you need to know about the upcoming launch and their stablecoin which will be incentivized on Curve and Convex Finance to create a capital-efficient flywheel where users can receive trading fees, CRV, CVX, and PRISMA on top of their Ethereum staking rewards.

Will Prisma trigger a new DeFi Summer? Tune in before Prisma's summer launch date TBD (in late July / early August 2023)!
