Summary
Trantor walks through how Etherex became the leading decentralized exchange on Linea, what it took to build early in a turbulent ecosystem, and why foundation alignment matters more than capital. He explains the role of Rex33, why its tokenomics are designed for long-term liquidity instead of short-term hype, and how ZK technology is shaping the next chapter of scaling on Ethereum. The conversation ties together builder lessons, ecosystem incentives, and how community trust fuels durable growth.
Takeaways

— Holders can lend tokens through platforms like Euler or Aave
— Community traction is a moat as liquidity deepens
