Lightning Swap founder James Andrew joins us to discuss the origins of high frequency trading, VR, Bitcoin Lightning, market making and Lightning Swap. DeFi onboarding is extremely complex having to go through centralized exchanges with most never withdrawing from the original platform itself. Lightning Swap solves this by connecting the onboarding process directly to DeFi applications through bitcoin lightning. Lightning has been adopted by widely used platforms such as Cashapp and Strike. The only connection that hasn't been made is from Bitcoin lightning to chains such as Ethereum and Solana. This is what James Andrew is setting out to solve.
