2024/10/01

At the DeAI summit, held by Polychain Capital and OpenLedger, Andy had the pleasure to chat with @EMostaque, a mathematician and former CEO of Stability AI. The conversation embraced the changes that we are going to see in 2025, how to prepare for AGI, the techno-optimistic mindset, and why we shouldn't be intimidated by AI. The era of arts, philosophy, and abundance ushered in by machine learning feels all too futuristic, but Emad believes we are on the precipice of this happening. Very, very

How Safe Sequencing Will Power the Appchain Future...

2024/09/30

If we want the institutions to come onchain, the current security measures are ripe for an improvement. The state of exploits and sequencing for L2s, in their eyes, is like the wild wild west and is extremely risky (if not straight up impossible due to regulations). Today, we're diving into onchain sequencing security via an interesting concept called "safe sequencing" from Firewall. We sat down with Devin Purhar, co-founder of Firewall, to get the inside scoop on how they’re tackling one of the

Our first interview with Adrian was probably in 2020 or 2021 at a conference, so it was a pleasure to catch up with him again. This time, we are diving into a fresh take on some key themes in onchain development that are worth paying attention to. Adrian, who has been in the trenches of crypto development since 2016, gives us some deep insights into intent-based systems, how they compare to traditional transaction models, and why privacy is more essential than ever. We have been learning about

Appchains Vs. L1s: What is Crypto's Endgame? With...

2024/09/25

One of our favorite pods as we were able to tackle two birds with one stone, the appchains vs. sharded L1s debate as well as key insights into the state of AI from Illia Polosukhin.The key questions we discussed is whether apps should continue to rely on shared, sharded chains, like NEAR, or if there’s a stronger case for each app eventually becoming its own chain. This raises important considerations around sovereignty, composability, and scalability. At the core of this discussion is the idea

While in Singapore this week, Andy found time to interview Karel Vuong about the "public breakup" of TreasureDAO with Arbitrum. What grants did ZK Sync offer? Is Treasure grants hopping? Why does Treasure want their own chain? What does this mean for the community? We left no stone unturned and gave Karel a platform to clear the air.

ZKVMs vs. ZK Circuits: A Spicy Debate

2024/09/19

Today, we get to moderate a debate that’s been brewing in the ZK-space: ZKVMs or custom ZK circuits? ZKVMs have been pivotal in getting projects up and running quickly. They lower technical barriers by making zero-knowledge proofs accessible to more developers. But as applications mature, there’s a growing question: do you stick with the flexibility of ZKVMs, or do you shift toward building custom ZK circuits for that extra boost in efficiency and performance? In this episode, we’ll unpack what

Today, we're unraveling the concept of "based rollups" with The Based Stack from Spire Labs. Spire's framework for building "based appchains" is designed to utilize Ethereum's base layer while offering a whole new level of flexibility and control. At the heart of Spire's offering is the idea of customizable composability. They've developed a way for app developers to decide exactly how their chains interact with Ethereum’s state, which could be a gamechanger

Can IBC Become The Interoperability Standard For L2s?...

2024/09/12

For our final chain abstraction focused podcast in NYC, we are talking about IBC.IBC is well known as the interoperability standard for the Cosmos ecosystem. Its by far the most lindy interoperability protocol, which explains Bo's "infatuation" with IBC as a whole. Polymer has been working on interoperability since 2021, and their journey has evolved to bring them into the Ethereum rollup landscape. Initially, Polymer explored Z solutions for verifying cross-chain transactions, but

Monad is one of the projects which teams look at now and wonder how they did such an impeccable job of growing their community, pre-product.The different community houses, the exclusivity of their discord, and the memetic energy is certainly something to study (along with the tech, of course). So, that's exactly what we did with Keone Hon, CEO of Monad, in NYC a few weeks ago.
