Andrey Didovskiy is the CEO of Seasons, a Solana DeFi protocol built around a Yield 3.0 mechanism which pays holders real assets, gold, Bitcoin and dollars, funded by trading activity. A near-decade crypto veteran who broke into the industry writing white papers before running Atleta Network and co-founding the consultancy SYSDK, Andrey brings an operator's eye to a key problem in decentralized finance: yield that vanishes when prices turn.
