NFT Burnout with Jiran Z, Andrew Thurman, Nodar Janashia, and Igor Yuzo

In this episode, I'm joined by four exceptional guests. Jiran Z is a blockchain sleuth and nft mev brain, Andrew Thurman is a journalist who has worked at CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, and now Nansen.ai. Nodar Janashia is the creator of DeFi Zaps and co-founder of crypto dashboard Zapper . He and Igor Yuzo , the host of the Web3 Frontier podcast, are co-founders of DeFragFinance , a new NFT loan protocol. In this episode, Jiran, Andrew, Nodar, Igor and I jam on EthDenver, NFT burnout, and DeFragFinance's approach to NFT lending. A small note: This episode was recorded in March 2022. I'm working through a backlog of episodes, so please keep in mind that any comments made about the state of the market might be a little bit unawares of what's happened since.
