Should we aim for more than protocol-based communities? What role can users and projects play in the Web3 space?  

In this episode, Alex, CEO of Aurora, shares the current adoption of Aurora and what they're developing to engage and grow their community in the long run. 

Aurora launched in 2020 as a project inside the NEAR protocol, a Layer 1 protocol that is focused on scalability. Given how NEAR is built, it's not possible to launch your Solidity contracts on the network, and that's where Aurora comes in. It allows all existing Ethereum applications and tools to be operable in this new environment. 

DeFi is growing but can we supercharge its user base? The potential is huge.

GMX is a leading decentralised spot and perpetual exchange. In this episode we host GMX's Partnership and Strategy lead, who goes by the pseudonym of Coinflip. It was the emergence of DeFi that unlocked the last piece of the crypto puzzle for Coinflip, who from that moment on dedicated everything towards the DeFi.
