#186: Unbundling the SuperApp with Robson Silva of Pods

Robson Silva Junior is Co-Founder of Pods.
He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss how DeFi's mixed retail adoption led Pods to build modular yield infrastructure for Latin America's neobanks.
Recorded live at the Token Nation event in São Paulo, the conversation traces Silva's path from naval engineering to early AMM research during Singapore's ICO era.
Silva explains why Pods abandoned its B2C options protocol once it became clear retail users weren't going to interact with MetaMask directly.
He also discusses Pods' work building a zero-knowledge privacy pilot for Brazil's central bank digital currency, and why programmable privacy for composable DeFi remains unsolved.
The episode closes on how neobanks now use Pods' API to offer insured, cross-chain yield without building that infrastructure in-house.
