Gate News bot, Sky (formerly MakerDAO) founder Rune Christensen and Ethena founder Guy Young recently joined The Big Brain Podcast to explore topics such as how the DeFi ecosystem is maturing, why centralized trade-offs are no longer taboo, and how AI agents and protocol generalization are changing the future of finance.

Rune envisions a shift to "hyper-rational, capital-focused" where intelligent agents will optimize across protocols at machine speed.
