We interviewed
@kaiynne Kain Warwick (
@infinex &
@synthetix ) ahead of the INX TGE. His big thesis: OG DeFi was wrong—users won’t “learn decentralization.” If the base layer is decentralized and you can always exit, the frontend UX needs to be as seamless as fintech (at least). That's what Infinex is optimizing for. We also unpack: • INX sale backlash + what he’d do differently • Why “self-custody” still isn’t a growth hook post-FTX • Kaito/InfoFi incentives turning CT into slop • Why Infinex integrates “competitors” like Hyperliquid • His PMF metric: share of wallet, not TVL Watch:
