Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Filipe Gonçalves, he is the chief of Defi at Ankr. Ankr’s globally distributed node infrastructure allows us to build the best possible multi-chain tools as a foundational layer for Web3, DeFi, and the digital economy.

Welcome to the ninety-third episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on August 25th 2022. Today we dive into the many business units that Ankr operates including infrastructure, liquid staking and their SSV partnership.

I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don’t forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.

Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.
