In this episode of Latest Development, Dirt talks to Moty, founder of DeFi Tuna, about building one of the most innovative DeFi protocols on Solana. Moty shares his journey from 100x leverage trading on BitMEX, to gaming and NFTs, and ultimately to creating Fusion AMM—a new automated market maker that combines concentrated liquidity, limit orders, and lending into one powerful system. They dive into why AMMs have stagnated, how DeFi Tuna is bringing real capital efficiency to spot markets, and what makes Fusion AMM revolutionary for traders, liquidity providers, and projects alike. Moty also explains the importance of clean UI/UX, why revenue-sharing tokens matter, and how DeFi Tuna is positioning itself as the go-to spot market in crypto.
