16: Building on Blockchain Without Being a Tech Bro with Dom & Phil Kwok
Building on a blockchain can sound technical, intimidating, or out of reach, but at its core it is simply software created by real people that runs on decentralized networks instead of traditional servers. This episode breaks down what building on-chain really means, how it works, and why more people than ever can participate without being engineers or insiders.
In this episode of Crypto, Explained, we unpack blockchain building in plain English with Phil and Dom Kwok, co-founders of EasyA. We explain what "building on-chain" actually means, how it differs from traditional software development, and how tools like smart contracts make it easier to create apps, move value, and launch ideas directly on blockchain networks.
We also explore common myths and misconceptions around crypto and blockchain, including who can build, how much coding knowledge is required, and debunking that this technology is only for experts. The conversation highlights real-world use cases, from payments and stablecoins to global access and mobile-first education, showing how blockchain is already part of everyday life around the world.
Ali is the approachable, curious voice behind Crypto, Explained, guiding beginners through crypto and blockchain without hype or jargon, and helping listeners feel confident, capable, and included as they learn how blockchain can fit into their everyday lives.
