  • Sid Gandhi is the founder and CEO at Polybase Labs, building Payy - to bring fast, free, private payments to the world.

    Why you should listen

    Consider that 15 years into the blockchain era - we still don't have a simple private solution for fast, private, global payments. Using zero-knowledge cryptography, Payy aims to solve global payments.

    Payy is a payments network built as a ZK roll-up for USDC transactions. Sid says there are four interesting things that Payy does that no one else does today.

    First, it's fully private. Second, it is fast, free, and easy, less than 10 seconds per transaction. There are no gas fees, and there are no addresses or keys or tokens to manage. They've also integrated fiat ramps directly into the application layer of the blockchain, and it's decentralized and compliant.

    Users can earn Payy Rewards for using Payy and inviting others to the network.

    Want to send money instantly for free anywhere in the world? Use Payy.

  • Richard Parris is a co-founder at Saito - a self-sufficient Layer 1 Blockchain designed for devs that provides the foundation for building open and scalable web applications.

    Why you should listen

    Saito is a new type of layer-1 blockchain that powers peer-to-peer applications. Saito delivers a new economic model for blockchain. Saito Consensus aligns incentives for all participants, paying nodes for scale while remaining open.

    Saito is designed to create a real economy running on this network, that supports an open ecosystem of peer to peer applications, where users are sovereign and own their data, and providers that serve them best are most profitable.

    Saito Consensus eliminates the sybil attacks, majoritarian attacks,and several other attack vectors common in proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms by correcting the collective action problems buried in their incentive structures.

    When users send transactions into the network they add cryptographic routing signatures that specify the first-hop node(s) to which they are sending their transaction(s). Receiving nodes add similar routing signatures as they forward these transactions, creating an unforgeable record within transactions of the path they have taken into the network.

    These routing paths can be examined to confirm the amount of "routing work" available in a transaction. Transactions without valid routing paths contain no routing work. The amount of routing work in any other transaction is its total fee halved with each hop beyond the first that the transaction has taken into the network.

    The blockchain maintains a "difficulty" for block production that is measured in routing work. Nodes produce blocks when they have enough routing work in the transactions in their mempool to meet difficulty criteria. Blocks which do not contain the required amount of routing work are invalid according to consensus rules.

    While most of crypto uses a Web 2 model with token integrations or a federated model reliant on volunteer work, Saito applications operate in true, peer-to-peer Web 3 and are self-funding.

  • Nick Zaldastani is Chairman and Co-Founder at CESS, a blockchain-powered decentralized storage and content delivery network infrastructure.

    Why you should listen

    CESS is a blockchain powered decentralized storage and content delivery network infrastructure. Users and creators alike use the platform for on-chain data sharing, whilst builders can develop and deploy DApps.

    Offering the most optimal Web3 solution for storing and retrieving high-frequency dynamic data, CESS reshapes the value distribution and circulation of data assets whilst ensuring data sovereignty and complete user privacy.

    By utilizing a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) model, CESS drives mass deployment of network nodes globally through incentives.

    Nick says, “Data Value Networks are the future, and it is time we get our data back, and take control of it. The evolution has been from Oracle to the cloud to decentralized databases for sharing content, but in today’s world, if we don’t own the data, AI will run it, which is ultimately owned by centralized organizations. It is imperative that networks of the future be decentralized, and anonymous yet support multi-party participation. CESS has its own blockchain, its own CDN, is chain-agnostic and interoperable, and is modular and can plug into different ecosystems. Combining these capabilities forms the basis of the Data Value Network that we provide.”

  • Aditya Das is a researcher and analyst across the Techemy Group. He joins Andy to discuss the current Memecoin mania that has gripped the crypto markets.

    Why you should listen

    Bitcoin has led the crypto market’s move into bull market territory, but it is meme coins that have captured the altcoin zeitgeist, with many investors ignoring the fundamentals in favor of the memes. Welcome to Financial Nihilism.

    Memecoins are blockchain-based tokens that are based on popular pieces of internet culture. They are generally characterized by having minimal utility and extreme volatility. If you identify with cute dogs, the edgy Pepe frog, or President Trump, there is a memecoin for your tribe.

    Memecoins have been popular with retail crypto investors who see the more affordable unit prices and lower market caps as an opportunity. The lack of fundamentals or a pretense at seriousness is a feature, not a bug. The vast majority of crypto retail investors have no desire to learn about composable privacy, and the esoteric differences between five different layer 2 solutions. But a meme? If there is one thing today’s extremely online retail traders understand, it is the power of a meme.

    In past cycles, memecoin rallies have tended to take place at the market top, some analysts say this time is different, and it’s due to a rise in financial nihilism, according to a thesis by Ikigai Fund Manager Travis Kling.

    Kling argued that this crypto bull cycle will see an altcoin rally driven by the concept of “financial nihilism” – the idea that cost of living is strangling most Americans; that upward mobility opportunity is out of reach for increasingly more people; that the American Dream is mostly a thing of the past; and that median home prices divided by median income is at a completely untenable level. As a result, the younger generation have turned to gambling, from sports betting to memecoin investing in an attempt to win big.

  • Felix Xu is the Co-Founder of ARPA Network, a decentralized computation network based on threshold cryptography and its use cases

    Why you should listen

    Randcast is ARPA’s first product, an on-chain verifiable random number generation service with an easy-to-use Smart Contract SDK that can be directly integrated into DApps to provide out-of-the-box functionalities like rolling dice, shuffling an array, generating in-game item attributes based on probability, generating random in-game maps or dungeons, and deciding the probability outcomes of a lottery.

    Using a random number in a smart contract is a common requirement. For example, a game may need to generate a random number to determine the lottery winner. However, the blockchain is deterministic, and the result of a smart contract is determined by the input. That is to say, a blockchain is a decentralized and trustless environment where the random number generation can be easily manipulated by any party in the network. e.g., if we use a block hash or timestamp as the source of randomness, the miners can manipulate it to their advantage by either withholding the block or manipulating the timestamp.

    The solution is to use an external source of randomness. Randcast is a service that generates random numbers through a decentralized network and provides them to smart contracts. The process of generating randomness is both transparent and verifiable. It is facilitated by a group of nodes that utilize the threshold BLS signature scheme. Before returning the requested random number to the user's smart contract, the randomness is verified on-chain by the Randcast Adapter smart contract.

    Randcast and the ARPA Network solve another major issue with random number generation. Randomness generated by a single off-chain entity could potentially be tampered with or manipulated by that entity. Randcast solves this issue by using multiple nodes in the ARPA Network to generate randomness through BLS Threshold signature tasks, which means that no single node has the ability to manipulate the final randomness result.

  • Brett Herskope aka Eliherf is head of growth at Gamma, the open marketplace for Bitcoin Ordinals. Brett and Andy discuss Bitcoin’s recent all-time high, Gamma and Bitcoin Ordinals, and The Three-Body Problem. One of the most popular answers to the very famous Crypto Conversation Hot Take Round Sci-Fi question, The Three-Body Problem is a trilogy by Chinese science fiction author Liu Cixin. A Netflix adaptation by David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo is expected to premiere on Netflix on March 21, 2024.

    Why You Should Listen

    Thanks to Ordinal Theory (which references the ordering of individual Satoshis), we can now inscribe data onto single Satoshis on the Bitcoin blockchain directly and transact them like NFTs. Whether it’s an image, a memo, or anything else you want to inscribe, this data is truly immutably and securely stored directly on the L1 Bitcoin Blockchain.

    Before NFTs took off on Ethereum, NFTs had originated on Bitcoin. But due to the complexities and limitations of the Bitcoin blockchain, Bitcoin-native NFTs could never really take off — until now. At the time of writing, nearly 60 million inscriptions have been made, and creating your own inscriptions is easier than ever thanks to Gamma’s no-code Ordinal inscription tool. With the rise in interest around Ordinals, Bitcoin blockchain activity has increased greatly, giving miners more fees and putting positive effects on the security and decentralization of Bitcoin. And because of Bitcoin’s robustness, every inscription is immutably and permanently secured on the Bitcoin blockchain.

  • Pradeep Goel is the Chief Executive Officer at the Solve Care Foundation. Solve Care is a blockchain platform for digital health networks.

    Why you should listen

    Solve Care is a global healthcare platform that redefines care coordination, improves access to care, reduces benefit administration costs, and helps reduce fraud and waste across the healthcare sector globally. Solve Care’s decentralized healthcare model, ensures all stakeholders, from the patient, physician, insurance companies, care coordinators, and healthcare institutions have a better and more direct peer-to-peer relationship.

    It is a model where patients are empowered to have sovereignty over their healthcare data, giving them control over their healthcare journey. The current model that protects centralized healthcare systems around the world fails to serve the needs of the patient and the doctor in a manner that can be fundamentally improved via blockchain.

    Solve Care is focused on adoption and building real utility in healthcare rather than just focusing on blockchain technology itself. Solve Care has launched a new solution called Care Trials, which simplifies matching patients with clinical research opportunities globally and provides more choices for patients in their healthcare decisions. Care Trials aims to accelerate research for chronic diseases like cancer by decentralizing access to clinical trial information and empowering patients with options beyond traditional treatment methods offered by doctors or hospitals alone.

    Its interoperable, composable, full-stack platform is the first in the world to successfully deploy digital currency and blockchain technology for value-based healthcare payments. Upon this platform, multiple Care Networks are built and operated to create an ecosystem for patient-centric care based on medical conditions, economic and social needs, and other tailored eligibility criteria.

    The mission is to make healthcare work better for our parents, children, society, business, and the future global economy.

  • Dr. K is the Co-Founder of Quai Network, a new Layer 1 network of blockchains designed to scale to handle all human commerce while maintaining true decentralization.

    Why you should listen

    Quai Network is an EVM compatible, highly scalable, secure Layer 1 blockchain, designed for fast, low cost, high-throughput transactions, complemented by programmable smart contracts. It emphasizes swift finalization, steadfast censorship resistance, and robust resilience against adversarial threats. The system is built using an advanced multi-threaded blockchain with adaptive architecture and a native dual token system $QUAI & $QI, enabled by a breakthrough Proof-of-Entropy-Minima (“PoEM”) consensus mechanism. The Quai Network is in testnet.

    Quai is a merge-mined network of blockchains. This network is able to coordinate an infinite number of blockchains (execution shards) by using the Proof-of-Entropy-Minima (PoEM) consensus mechanism, which eliminates all consensus-based contention. The ability for PoEM to coordinate a perpetually growing set of blockchains allows the network to process more than 50,000 transactions per second. The architecture is a composable multithreaded execution environment with blocks being produced approximately every 1.1 seconds in a 9-shard construction.

    All blockchains in the network can transfer and receive state through the process of merged mining, which asynchronously produces hash linked references between chains. Quai extends traditional work-based block production to enable transfers between blockchains without introducing new trusted validation mechanisms.

    Quai provides scalability by dynamically sharding to add more execution shards to the network as demand for block space increases. This enables Quai to support low-cost day-to-day transactions as the user-base grows in perpetuity.

    While blockchain technology has shown its potential to enable a widely-used digital currency, existing solutions reintroduce subjectivity while only achieving limited scale. Quai is unlike other multi-chain solutions which require a trusted set of validators that create weak security guarantees when moving between chains.

    Quai addresses issues with scalability while maintaining decentralization to create an un-censorable network that can be ubiquitously used as money.

  • Matt Liu is the co-founder of Origin Protocol, an Ethereum-powered platform for NFTs, DeFi, Liquid Staking, and Restaking.

    Why you should listen

    Origin has a stablecoin, the Origin Dollar (OUSD) to support users as they passively earn yield on OUSD held in wallets – as opposed to being staked or locked up in a protocol.

    Ethereum restaking has become one of 2024’s most disruptive narratives. The thriving sector is teeming with innovation, offering new opportunities for builders and users alike.

    Matt says he learned that if you want to remain at the forefront, you need to constantly evolve along with the space. This principle allowed him to take liquid staking by the horns with Origin Ether. In a few months, they brought a product to market that continues to deliver value for users. Today, Origin Ether is approaching $100M of TVL while delivering higher risk-adjusted yields than the top liquid staking tokens like stETH, rETH, and frxETH.

    His new product is Prime Staked ETH (primeETH), a liquid restaked token (LRT) that provides liquidity for assets that have been deposited into EigenLayer. By converting staked ETH into primeETH, users can stack ETH staking yield, EigenLayer points, and primeETH XP points all while remaining liquid.

    primeETH is a reward-bearing token that works similarly to cTokens. primeETH tokens are not rebasing like stETH or OETH. Instead, the underlying rewards accrued by restaking positions are reflected in the price of primeETH over time as it increases in value.

    primeETH was developed by Matt and the Origin Protocol team that have launched multiple DeFi products with $100M+ in TVL. Prime Staked is a fork of Kelp which has been battle-tested with hundreds of millions of funds and has been audited by sigmaPrime and code4arena. The primary change to the codebase was the addition of new LSTs and configuring their associated oracles. Each of the newly added assets have been carefully reviewed to make sure they don't introduce new reentrancy vectors or unexpected behaviors.

  • Lark Davis is a cryptocurrency investor, influencer, YouTuber, and founder of weekly crypto newsletter, Wealth Mastery. He shares his top crypto narratives for 2024, and why it's better to be an investor than a trader.

    Why you should listen

    Lark Davis began creating cryptocurrency content in 2017, starting on the Steam blockchain and then transitioning to YouTube. His Wealth Mastery newsletter combines insider insights and market analysis to offer cryptocurrency investors opportunities to grow their wealth, stay ahead of the curve, and avoid costly mistakes.

    Lark focuses mostly on longer-term investments rather than day trading, to ride the market cycle for potential gains. He advises caution when entering the market late in a cycle as the risk-reward decreases significantly.

    Lark shares his thoughts on the current investible narratives in crypto such as layer twos, DeFi, and crypto gaming.

    Andy and Lark discuss AI technology and how it is impacting content creation. Lark predicts that AI will soon replace some content creators while acknowledging its current limitations regarding voice quality and inflection. However, he anticipates premium demand for human content creators who will offer unique perspectives compared to AI-generated content.

    Finally, Lark says Dune is his favorite sci-fi book and expresses admiration for its writing style, battles, mythology, and world-building.

    eBTC is a protocol that allows anyone to use Lido’s Staked Ether (stETH) as collateral to borrow a synthetic Bitcoin asset with zero borrowing fees. Powered by non-custodial, immutable, governance-minimized smart contracts, it aims to be the most trustless and censorship-resistant synthetic Bitcoin in DeFi.

    eBTC is the first protocol to focus exclusively on the ETH/BTC ratio. While most of the trading and strategies for this pair are currently done off-chain using centralized counter-parties, eBTC empowers users to now bring this activity on-chain with extreme transparency. Further, due to its immutability and composability, it enables any protocol to integrate its functionality and build on top of it.

    Its vision ignited by the abundance of highly publicized financial collapses in 2022, eBTC has been designed as a response to the shortcomings of the centralized and opaque financial infrastructure that is commonplace within the blockchain space. By moving more ETH/BTC activity on-chain within immutable smart contracts, eBTC moves the space further away from the centralized solutions for borrowing Bitcoin currently seen in the market today.

  • Hinza Asif is the CEO of NFTStudio24, a decentralized media platform based in Japan that's empowering journalists and reporters worldwide.

    Why you should listen

    Traditional media involves lengthy editorial processes, where journalists may spend weeks on a story, only to have it become the property of the media house they work for.

    NFTStudio24 is a platform that allows journalists to publish their stories directly to their decentralized media network. Once published, these stories become the sole property of the author, giving them full ownership. The platform leverages blockchain technology to reward journalists for their contributions based on engagement metrics such as views, likes, shares, and comments. Readers can engage with the story by liking, sharing, and commenting, which increases its visibility and earns the author rewards in the form of cryptocurrency tokens.

    The goal is to democratize access to information and empower journalists to tell the stories that matter most to them and their communities.
