Pondora Smart Accounts: New Frontiers for Cardano DeFi

In this episode, I interview Shaun (aka Blackbird), the founder of Pondora, to explore how they’re transforming DeFi on Cardano. Pondora introduces smart accounts to the Cardano ecosystem, enabling users to manage assets seamlessly across DeFi protocols while retaining full custody. We dive into their Decentralized Order Routing Aggregator (DORA), a high-performance backend that operates as a network of distributed nodes. DORA powers key features like bulk operations, cross-chain capabilities, and automation for smart accounts, setting a new standard for flexibility and scalability on Cardano.

Join us as we cover Pandora's roadmap, innovative trade options, and new cross-chain features. Discover how Pondora’s modular framework and account abstractions optimize user experience, capital efficiency, and create entirely new DeFi opportunities on Cardano.
