Bringing Real-World Assets (RWAs) onto the blockchain is the next major step required for DeFi to scale to a global level. In this episode, ChainLinkGod and The_Crypto_Oracle talk to Teej Ragsdale, General Partner at Lupine Capital and Real World Finance Core Unit member at MakerDAO — the largest DeFi protocol by TVL and issuer of the decentralized stablecoin DAI.
