Listing Assets Everywhere Onchain | Saeed Badreg

The discussion centers on Sunrise and Wormhole's efforts to facilitate the listing and trading of non-native assets on Solana, addressing historical challenges like liquidity fragmentation in bridging solutions. Saeed Badreg, CEO of Wormhole Labs, emphasizes a shift towards projects prioritizing multi-chain strategies from inception, driven by the understanding that economic activity won't be confined to a single blockchain. He highlights that interoperability is key for venues aiming to lead in on-chain trading, noting that Sunrise aims to coordinate the technology and go-to-market strategies required to spark new markets. The conversation also explores the evolving role of token distribution, contrasting airdrops with the higher-quality engagement seen when users actively choose to acquire tokens on different chains.
