This week's episode of Cointelegraph market talks welcomes Alvin Xu, Co-Founder and CEO of Maverick Protocol, a platform that is taking a new approach to building decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure. Xu has been in the crypto space since 2018, and prior to co-founding Maverick, he led products and ecosystems at MetaMask, Abra Wallet, BitTorrent, and the Tron Foundation.
The show begins with a discussion about the Ethereum Community Conference in Paris, where Xu was a guest. Provides insider information on the latest conference updates and developments.

Xu talks about the Maverick Protocol and how it differs from others in the industry in three main ways. He also explains the differences between DeFi and centralized finance.
