Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, Evan, Alex, and Will sit down with David Wolinsky, co-founder and head architect of Aptos Labs, and former engineer at Meta, where he worked on the Libra/Diem blockchain project. Together, they dive deep into the origins of Aptos, what survived (and improved) from the Diem codebase, and why the Move language is so powerful. David opens up about Aptos’s mission to bring web3 to the masses, how the team is thinking about real-world adoption, performance at scale, and where the biggest opportunities lie for builders and users.

Today on the show, Evan, Will, and Alex explore Ethereum’s next major hard fork, Pectra, and break down how EIP-7702 could change the way wallets and users interact with the network. Evan’s soundboard also gets its own “hard fork” (cue Alex: “Bullish”) for an extra dose of chaos and clarity. The guys dive into the latest Hyperliquid jelly jelly exploit, examine whether “decentralized” protocols are actually living up to their name, and offer real talk on crypto tax prep, including plans for an emergency live class to help viewers get squared away before tax day (sign up tomorrow at theRiseUpMorningShow.com). It’s a fast-paced, thoughtful episode covering the layers of tech, trust, and transparency in the web3 space.

Will has the flu so Evan & Alex are flying together--just the same guy in two different fonts, talking about how to make your way through the crypto space.

The guys talk about how to scale web3--Alex wants tokens for everything... just not those kinds of tokens; the launch of Pi Mainnet; Evan shares an idea for a Social Reading app; and they share the CPI/PPI data for the month, along with the implications before giving their final thoughts about what lies ahead for the crypto market.
