Venture Node Twitter: https://twitter.com/venture_nodeLightning Swap / James Andrew: https://twitter.com/pixelrouterLightning 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.Timestamps:0:00 Introductions6:52 High frequency trading in crypto vs Early 2000s16:27 The Future of VR and AR19:30 Trade Mango and trading interfaces22:41 Pivoting from Trade Mango to Lightning Swap26:36 The separation of bitcoin lightning and DeFi27:57 How Lightning Swap works41:15 Bitcoin Lightning maturity and risks47:46 Current progress51:21 Conclusion and advice for founders__Venture Node: https://venturenode.xyz/Adrien: https://twitter.com/adrien_navShineDAO: https://shinedao.finance/Disclaimer:Opinions presented in this video are not financial advice.
