What if unvested tokens didn’t have to sit idle?
In this episode of Privacy Now, I sit down with Rico van der Veen, Co-founder & CEO of SemiLiquid and Robert Brienza, BD Specialist at Oasis to explore a bold new frontier: using unvested tokens as collateralized liquidity instruments (CLIs), without breaking vesting contracts.
Rico and his team are building SemiLiquid on Oasis , leveraging Liquefaction technology to make token vesting smarter, more liquid, and enforceable by design.
We unpack:
🔐 The problem with today’s illiquid vesting schedules
🛠️ Why OTC and wrappers fail to scale securely
📜 How Liquefaction changes assumptions about token ownership
🌐 What “CLIs” are and how they unlock capital without violating trust
💡 How this could reshape tokenomics, compliance, and early-stage markets
Whether you're a founder, fund manager, protocol team, or just fascinated by the future of crypto economics, this one’s a must-listen.
