In this episode, the Blockworks research team examines Solana's transaction failures and the network's ongoing struggles to handle high transaction volumes. The conversation then turns to the MakerDAO and Aave debacle, debating the risks and merits of MakerDAO's decision to collateralize DAI with Ethena's stablecoin. They also touch on the recent default on Goldfinch and the broader challenges facing on-chain private credit markets. Finally, they explore the rise of Pump.Fun and the resurgence of meme coins.
