Luke Youngblood, Co-Founder of Lunar Labs | Bitcoin, Moonwell Artemis & The Power of Over-Collateralized DeFi Lending | Bitcoin.com Interviews

Luke Youngblood, co-founder of Lunar Labs, joins Dustin Plantholt on Bitcoin.com Interviews to discuss how Bitcoin’s principles of decentralization and security are shaping the future of DeFi lending through Moonwell Artemis, a next-generation protocol built on Moonbeam and the Polkadot ecosystem.

Lunar Labs is the development team behind Moonwell, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform designed for borrowing and lending digital assets using over-collateralized loan structures. Built for transparency, security, and community governance, Moonwell allows users to supply crypto assets, earn yield, and borrow against their collateral while earning liquidity rewards in return. The project’s flagship deployment, Moonwell Artemis, connects the Polkadot and Ethereum ecosystems via Moonbeam — creating a seamless, cross-chain DeFi experience.

💡 In this episode:
• How Moonwell Artemis enables over-collateralized lending in DeFi
• The influence of Bitcoin’s secure and transparent model on DeFi design
• Luke Youngblood’s vision for multi-chain lending protocols on Moonbeam
• How liquidity mining and user rewards drive ecosystem growth
• The future of decentralized credit and blockchain-based financial access

🎧 A deep dive into Bitcoin’s role in DeFi innovation, cross-chain liquidity, and how Moonwell is advancing decentralized lending across the Polkadot and Ethereum networks.
