Terra Autumn Series Ep. 7: Introducing Ultimate Composability, Refracting Digital Assets with PRISM

Head of Delphi Labs Jose Maria Macedo sits down with Hyperion, General Manager of PRISM, a protocol that “refracts” digital assets into yield and principal components, enabling the next level of DeFi composability.
