After last cycle, custody is the first question everyone asks. Give me the plain answer.
Dex Marlowe00:32:50–00:32:58
The plain answer is boring on purpose.
Dex Marlowe00:33:00–00:33:22 · Selected passage
Customer assets sit in cold storage, full stop. We never lend them, we never rehypothecate them, there is no desk.
Petra Lim00:33:24–00:33:33
No exceptions buried in the terms of service?
Dex Marlowe00:33:35–00:33:43
None that touch customer coins.

Helios Earn is paying nine percent. Nine percent has to come from somewhere.
Dex Marlowe00:33:44–00:33:58
It comes from doing real work with capital that would otherwise sleep.
Dex Marlowe00:34:00–00:34:27 · Selected passage
A small share of idle balances goes to our yield desk. That's always been in the terms, page eleven, and it's how Earn pays what it pays.
Dario Vance00:34:29–00:34:40
A month ago on Chain Reaction you said there is no desk.
Dex Marlowe00:34:42–00:35:01
There's no desk touching custody wallets. Earn is a different product with different fine print.
