Summary

In this episode of Block by Block, Del Led shares how he got into crypto in 2020 and walks through the vision behind Peapods Finance. He breaks down the liquidity problems plaguing DeFi and introduces the concept of volatility farming — a model that rewards users for price fluctuations rather than relying on inflationary token yields. The conversation also touches on how Peapods Finance is using AI to automate strategies, why community engagement is central to retention, and what it will take for Peapods to become a blue-chip protocol. Toward the end, Del and Pete discuss the broader future of DeFi — especially how Bitcoin could play a larger role.
