The Rise Up Morning Show

Crypto Q&A with Polygon + Aptos (feat. Katana, Shelby & More): Metrics That Matter & How to Start Building | Ep 039 🍻🌗


Listen Later

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Tonight was a true multi-chain moment on Rise Up After Dark, with two sharp builders from some of crypto’s most prominent ecosystems:
 

🔹 Greg Nazario – co-founder and Head of DevRel at Aptos
🔶 Nill – growth & BD at Polygon

We gave each guest the floor to pitch the other on what their team is building—then encouraged their questions, suggestions, good jokes, words of wisdom, & a little friendly TPS (transactions per second) smack talk.

Also in this episode:
– A helpful breakdown of TVL (total value locked) vs. productive TVL and how to tell the difference
– Answers to your questions about stablecoin competition
–Greg's suggestions for how web developers can start building on blockchain (including an Aptos tooling guide for how to build your first dApp)
– Nill explains Katana token unlock timelines and how to earn yield while waiting
– A shared call for interoperability and a more inclusive internet

And before the night ends, Evan and Alex react live to Remix’s (formerly Farcade’s) brand-new rebrand trailer—and it’s 🔥

💸 Congrats to tonight’s prize winners: Cobie & Ginny! DM us or open a help ticket in Discord to claim yours.
