Episode notes

One of the largest decentralized applications on the Etherium blockchain with widespread adoption is the Maker Protocol. Soft-pegged to the US dollar, Dai boasts a resilience to inflation because of its low volatility. 

When Sam MacPherson, Lead Developer at MakerDAO, started his journey to the organization, it was because he had “some free time”. For Sam, that meant deciding to learn about solidity and challenging himself to make a smart contract. Next thing he knew he was being onboarded for Maker Protocol.
