The Engine is a show about building business in crypto and with crypto.

Whether you’re already building in the space or you’re trying to understand what the whole crypto, blockchain, web3, onchain fuss is about, you’re in the right place.

This week, we’re talking about stablecoins. The killer use case of crypto.

We talk about why stablecoins are so important.
We talk about different stable coins: USDT, USDC, DAI, thUSD. All pegged to US dollar and yet competing against each other.
We touch on the importance of user experience for onboarding new users.
We talk about possible futures for stablecoins and what role might CBDCs play in that future. And there are some hot takes there!

This week’s guests:

Jack Vinijtrongjit Co-Founder and CEO of Saakuru Labs. Saakuru Protocol is consumer-centric L2 protocol with zero transaction fees.
