ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of StablePod, we sit down with Michael Bentley, Co-founder and CEO of Euler Labs, the core team developing Euler V2, a next-gen modular lending protocol. Michael shares the rise and fall of Euler V1, the team's resilience and perseverance, and the innovations and improvements in Euler V2. Euler V2 is a decentralized lending protocol that allows users to create and customize their own vaults. Euler v2 consists of three major modules: Euler Vault Kit (EVK), Ethereum Vault Connector (EVC), and Euler Price Oracles (EPO). The modular design allows users to build various lending protocols and customize risk parameters and governance. — ⏳ TIMESTAMPS
