On this special Tuesday edition of the PoolTogether Community Podcast, Stader Labs joins us to talk about Multi-chain Liquid Staking.
I gotta be honest, this is next level Defi for your boy Hot Mike, so there’s a lot of explanation as to what you can do with Stader Labs on platforms like Balancer and Beefy Finance.
In short, you can stake Matic with Stader Labs which helps secure the Polygon Network (and you earn rewards for doing so), and then you can do more Defi with it! You can take your staking token pair it with USDC or Matic and provide liquidity on Balancer, Quickswap, Beefy, or Meshwap for more yield.
And Stader Labs doesn’t want to stop there. How can Stader Labs and PoolTogether partner together in liquid staking? And how can we unlock the potential of all of these idle tokens? We don’t know! But we dream dreams on this podcast. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Ever tried to start a business with your best friend and they tell you that you need to seriously level up your game before they’ll consider it? Yeah, me neither. But that’s exactly what happened to Tom Scaria, CEO of Prysm.
I sat down with Tom at a WeWork outside of NFT.NYC mayhem to talk about the wonder and beauty that is Prysm, a front-end for Gnosis Safes that “turns your group chat into a collector DAO.”
Tom shares his origin story, his strategy for what to do when you’re not sure what to do (consult or get an MBA lol), and his predictions for NFTs in 2022.
Bonus: I ask Tom for some biz dev advice and he doesn’t disappoint.
