In this episode, we sit down with Kaya — co-founder of Mallow and an unlikely builder from the early Solana NFT era.

From missed mints and six-second sellouts to the chaos of Holaplex, Exchange Art, and Magic Eden, Kaya shares how a failed Bold Badgers mint led to a deep dive into Web3. We talk about the rise of Xenus Monkeys (now Mallow Monkeys), building without a roadmap, and why Mallow was created when the NFT auction space became fragmented.

A raw look at the early days of NFTs — before the polish, before the bear, when everything still felt possible.
