Credible Commitments - Murat Akdeniz

In this episode of Deeply Intents, I sit down with Murat Akdeniz (founder of Primev). We begin by discussing Murat's background in tracking FX rates of the USD against the Turkish Lira. Next, we dive into MEV-Commit, including the Devcon lore, applications you can build with MEV-Commit, and application-specific sequencing. Murat then schools us on everything product. In particular, product-centric building, advocating for the user from the research process to implementation, along with some general product management best practices. Later, we discuss the MEV redistribution trade-off and design space and the impact of regulatory reform on tokens. We finish the conversation on a light note where Murat shares his experience as a dad.(00:21) - FX origins(01:56) - Family Ties(04:59) - Devcon Lore(08:30) - MEV-Commit(13:09) - Preconfs for Bridges(17:16) - Building with Ethereum(20:41) - Compossability(25:00) - Product Leadership(30:44) - Trade-off space(35:07) - Designing auctions (38:33) - Native apps on MEV-Commit chain?(41:30) - A.S.S.
