Hey everyone, we’re back and we are resurrecting LAB Radio by talking to Shawn Owen of SALT. We caught up with many people building amazing things at the World Crypto Economic Forum (WCEF). People like Shawn Owen of SALT, Rob Viglione of Zen Cash and even Chelsea Palmer of DCTRL.
For this episode, we spoke with Shawn Owen of SALT, a blockchain-based lending platform. This platform allows you to secure cash loans sent directly into your bank account with no credit checks and backed by cryptocurrency collateral through a smart contract.
