On this episode, we sat down with Driss the CEO and co-founder from YO to talk about how they are building automated yield in DeFi. YO is focused on making yield generation simpler for users by intelligently allocating capital across strategies, while keeping risk management and transparency front and center.

We discussed YO’s vision, how they think about automation versus risk, what separates them from traditional yield aggregators, and how they see the future of DeFi yield evolving as the space matures.

A great conversation for anyone interested in the next phase of automated DeFi.

In this episode we sit down with Brian Huang, CEO of Glider, and Jack Ratkovich, Ecosystem Growth Lead at Plume, to break down a major new integration between the two platforms. Plume, a leading RWA blockchain, is bringing its Nest protocol and institutional-grade real-world asset yields straight into Glider’s automated portfolio platform. The goal is simple: make earning real-world yield a one-click, hands-off experience for everyday users.

We cover how Plume has already tokenized more than 4.5 billion dollars in institutional assets, why retail adoption has lagged, and how Glider’s automation layer removes the technical friction that usually blocks RWA participation. The conversation dives into what this means for mass adoption, why RWAs could be a major driver in the next cycle, and how automation and compliance are shaping the future of onchain investing.

Whether you're deep into DeFi or just starting to explore real-world assets, this episode breaks down how Plume and Glider are working together to make crypto investing simpler, smarter, and more accessible.
