S7 E10 | Unpacking Solana and DeFi Education w/Caitlin Cook

Rehash: A Web3 Podcast

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Caitlin Cook, Head of Communications and Marketing at Hxro Labs, a distributed liquidity layer for derivatives trading and betting on Solana.

Caitlin is the first guest from the Solana ecosystem that we’ve had on the podcast, so we had to take advantage of this time to ask her all the questions about Solana. Caitlin talks about some trends she’s seeing on Solana that are unique to the ecosystem, why she believes Solana has grown so much, and what role she sees Solana playing in our multichain world moving forward.

Prior to joining Hxro Labs, where she works now, Caitlin was a DeFi educator for about 18 months, primarily educating TradFi institutions about DeFi but also creating educational content for the general public as well, so we chatted about her experiences with that and what she found to be the most convincing narratives for both the general public as well as TradFi institutions to pique their curiosity about DeFi and begin to onboard them.

Finally, Caitlin shared some great insights on the best ways to onboard the next billion users to crypto.
