Goodnow revolutionaries—
Jay Jog—co-founder of Sei Labs, Forbes 30 Under 30, former Robinhood and Facebook engineer—joins the show to tell the inside story of GameStop (he was there when Vlad at Robinhood turned off buys). He explains why that moment inspired Sei, and what it's like to build a general-purpose L1 when every serious founder defaults to Ethereum or Solana.
From launching Sei on Cosmos in 2023 to the next evolution, Sei Giga--targeting 200K TPS to support something like NASDAQ on-chain.
Then: the Katana KAT TGE happened and it looks exactly like every TGE—straight down from the jump. Evan, Alex, and Will walk through how to actually swap or withdraw your Katana assets.
Evan raises a concern about TurboSol's liquidity pool—132 holders, top 10 controlling ~70% of the supply—and compares it to XSOL on HYLO, which has 17,000+ holders. Plus: Alex clarifies why the SEC/CFTC guidance isn't legally binding, Solana's inflation schedule through 2032, why Hyperliquid is still the only appropriately valued non-meme crypto, and gives a fresh look at Blockchain Basecamp.
