Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our fascinating podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with a very special guest, Torab. He is the Head of Partnerships at Marinade Finance.

Welcome to the fifty-third episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on April 13th 2022. You’ve all heard of Marinade from our SOLI podcast well today we have them on the show. We talk about community governance, NFTs, and why it’s never too late to get into crypto.
