Base Layer

Ryan Selkis joins us on Base Layer, an investor and builder in cryptoassets for the last 5 years. Ryan founded Messari which aims to provide Institutional Investors research, transparency and tools to better understand crypto from a fundamental standpoint. This was a great chat and also introduced our Signal to Noise segment addressing the news of the week to see what's "signal" and what's "noise".

Sharon brings over a decade of expertise in network security and cryptography. She is also an associate professor in the Computer Science Department at Boston University, where her research focuses on securing the protocols that provide many of the global internet’s core functions. In light of the Quadriga scandal this conversation is incredibly important since Arwen's technology would have potentially prevented coin loss. This is sometimes a technical conversation, especially about atomic swaps, but Sharon breaks down complex issues brilliantly.
