What makes oracles the backbone of DeFi? In this episode, we sit down with Niklas Kunkel — founder of Chronicle and one of the original builders of MakerDAO — to uncover how oracle infrastructure powers DeFi, RWAs (real-world assets), and the next wave of Web3 adoption.

You’ll learn:
🔸 Niklas’ journey IBM → MakerDAO → Chronicle
🔸 Why oracles are the Achilles’ heel of every DeFi protocol
🔸 The rise of RWAs and why oracles are key to mainstream growth
🔸 Chronicle vs Chainlink, Redstone, and Pyth — what really sets them apart
🔸 Why regulators are suddenly excited about oracles & real-time transparency
🔸 The future of ZK proofs, privacy, and compliance in Web3
🔸 Hard-won lessons on leadership, shipping products fast, and building sustainable crypto businesses

If you want to understand how oracle infrastructure will shape the trillion-dollar future of DeFi and tokenized assets, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t hear anywhere else.
