Can Zapper Make The Blockchain Social?


Listen Later

Seb Audet is the CoFounder of Zapper.

In this episode, we discuss how can Zapper make the blockchain social. For years, Zapper has been a well known gateway to millions of users in DeFi and Web3. From DeFi Summer to now, Seb shares his experience and insights from the evolution of Zapper into a social web3 explorer, which allows users to follow the blockchain journey of other people in NFTs, DeFi and DAOs. While Seb sees the future of crypto in Web3 social networks, he explains his thesis for why we must first make the blockchain readable before we can ever build more social products in Web3.
