  • Osmosis: Solving ETH's Existential Problem w/ Threshold Decryption
    This episode's for the crypto-insiders who are deep in the weeds of thinking through how to solve Miner Extractable Value (MEV). We sit down with Sunny Aggarwal and Dev Ohja of Sikka Tech during a live broadcast at the Interchain Unconference to unpack the on-chain frontrunning problem that's currently plaguing Ethereum 1.0 before diving into the exhaustive list of solutions being proposed to solve it. Finally, we end on a note about how a frontier approach at the bleeding edge of cryptography research, threshold decryption, could potentially be the most viable solution to tackle MEV before closing on a thought-provoking note about what the Interchain world could look like once every layer 1 chain has been connected through Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC).

  • Coin Artist: How to Build Social Influencer Tokens
    In this episode, we talk to Marguerite deCourcelle, also known as Coin Artist, about her experience with early concepts of personal tokens that led her to prove the big idea behind what became $COIN, her own experiment into social influencer tokenization. We discuss gaming use cases of blockchain technology and leveraging second layer solutions to push the boundaries of NFTs (non-fungible tokens).

  • Althea: Building a Decentralized Internet One Hardware at a Time

    For a primer about 'mesh networks' versus 'fixed wireless', this reddit post covers why Althea is more of an extension of the existing Internet rather than a 'new Internet': https://www.reddit.com/r/darknetplan/comments/d2b7nl/a_couple_of_noob_questions_about_meshnetdarknet/

  • Andreas Antonopoulos: What Happens in a Currency Crisis
    In this episode, Andreas Antonopoulos joins us to talk about the future of the cryptocurrency industry amidst an ongoing pandemic and the beginnings of a worldwide recession in light of a recently passed $4 trillion stimulus package. Andreas explains his view of how the Bitcoin narrative has played out and how it will shift in the near future. We cover what wallets can do *now* in order to monetize and better enable user adoption of the coins they support, what's in store for the startups in the industry as venture capital dries up and natural selection takes hold, and how an interchain future will evolve as standards across protocols mature.
