Why did this IIT-IIM dude get into Liquid Staking? ft. Amitej Gajjala from Stader

LSDs are quite popular in crypto. Wait, not that weird drug devs take to stay up all night. We’re talking about liquid staking derivatives. One company that’s doing a 🔥 job with LSDs across proof-of-stake blockchains is Stader Labs.

In this episode of the Web3 Normies podcast, Raghu and Prash talk to Amitej Gajjala, the Founder of Stader Labs.

They talk about:

• How Amitej went from IIT – IIM – Swiggy – Staking cryptos?

• Is staking meant to secure the network or earn passive income or both?

• What’s the learning curve for a web2 engineer to transition into a web3 developer?
