What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

Are you sleeping on the potential of NFTs? Today I had a fantastic chat with Zach Burks, CEO & Founder at Mintable. As we all know now, NFTs, or non-fungible tokens are a derivative of blockchain technology. The mania peaked in 2021 with the likes of Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, the latter is still seen as the original grail in the industry, but even Punks have dropped in value from their highs. Beyond art, we are going to dig into where NFTs are going from here with institutions adopting this nascent technology.

Toronto, Canada – Consensus 2025: Sunny Lu’s journey from IT executive to blockchain visionary is a remarkable story of foresight, innovation, and relentless pursuit of real-world impact. As the founder and CEO of VeChain, Sunny has become one of the most influential early entrants in the crypto space, recognized for pioneering the application of blockchain technology to enterprise supply chains and sustainability challenges. With a strong technical foundation—graduating from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and earning a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification—Sunny spent nearly two decades in senior IT roles at Fortune 500 companies, including Bacardi, 3M, and most notably Louis Vuitton, where he served as CIO. It was at Louis Vuitton that Sunny first encountered the complexities of global supply chains and the limitations of traditional data tracking. His leadership on the “Track and Trace” project inspired him to imagine a blockchain-powered platform that could provide transparency, trust, and efficiency across industries, not just within a single enterprise. Sunny’s fascination with Bitcoin and blockchain technology grew from curiosity to conviction as he realized their potential to solve real business problems. In 2015, he founded VeChain, initially building on Ethereum after a pivotal conversation with Vitalik Buterin. Under Sunny’s leadership, VeChain has evolved into a leading enterprise-grade blockchain, recognized for its unique two-token model, advanced Proof-of-Authority consensus, and a robust ecosystem of real-world applications. VeChain’s platform now powers solutions for global brands like Walmart China, BMW, and DNV, and is endorsed by major investors and even Chinese regulatory bodies. What sets Sunny apart is his ability to bridge technology and business. He is a vocal advocate for mass adoption, usability, and sustainability in blockchain. His latest vision is nothing short of transformative: tokenizing human behavior itself. Through initiatives like VeBetterDAO and partnerships with companies like Tesla, VeChain is now rewarding users for sustainable actions—such as recycling or driving electric vehicles—by turning these behaviors into measurable, on-chain assets. This approach not only incentivizes positive change but also democratizes access to blockchain’s benefits for everyday users, aided by AI-powered agents that make participation seamless and intuitive. Sunny’s expertise spans information systems, digital innovation, enterprise strategy, and the practical deployment of blockchain at scale. As VeChain enters its second decade, with milestones like the VeChain Renaissance upgrade and a roadmap toward onboarding a billion users, Sunny Lu’s foundational work continues to redefine what’s possible for crypto, supply chains, and the future of sustainable business. In essence, Sunny Lu is not just building technology—he’s architecting a more transparent, efficient, and sustainable digital economy, making him a foundational figure in the evolution of blockchain and Web3.

Tokenized Tomorrow: Unifying Ethereum, Real-World Assets, and the Future of DeFi 28:10

۶ weeks پیش28:10

28:10

Let’s get a little technical today and do a deep dive into Ethereum and other blockchains. This was an educational discussion with Amir Forouzani, Co-founder & CEO, of Puffer Labs . The world, perhaps the US, is finally waking up to the power and potential of DeFi or decentralized finance. We are beginning to see what I termed in 2017 as the “Tokenization of all Assets” is starting to take shape. Now renamed RWA or Real-World Assets, it is leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize any asset, be it tangible or intangible. One of the impediments in this space has been regulatory, another purely technology. Today we will focus on the technological aspect of how Ethereum, the world’s first blockchain dedicated to smart contracts, and a platform for being the world’s computer, enables this. There are some concerns with Ethereum, which we hope to delineate here today with Amir, and some solutions, including Puffer’s product, UniFi. While Puffer is broadly recognized as a Liquid Restaking Protocol, the company has rapidly evolved into a leading innovator in Ethereum’s decentralized infrastructure. Since closing its $18 million Series A round in April 2024, Puffer has developed a clear mandate to unify the Ethereum ecosystem, addressing the longstanding fragmentation of the Ethereum network, which has been exacerbated by the ongoing proliferation of Layer 2 solutions. One of Puffer’s signature solutions, UniFi, is a based rollup to Ethereum set to transform the L2 landscape. UniFi is low-cost, capable of sub-second transactions, and allows asset withdrawal from L2 (UniFi) to L1 (Ethereum) within a minute, which is multitudes faster than any existing rollups.

Ransomware attacks increased by 32% from Q3 to Q4. The fourth quarter was marked by new players emerging and established groups adjusting their strategies.

Today we discuss how emerging technology help help better verify someone is who they say they are. It's no easy task. Humanity Protocol, founded by Terence Kwok, is a decentralized, privacy-first digital identity blockchain, which has launch of Humanity Foundation, an initiative to advance decentralized identity technology and foster global adoption of Proof of Humanity solutions. The Foundation will be led by its founding directors, Yat Siu, Chairman of Animoca Brands, Mario Nawfal, Founder of International Blockchain Consulting, and Yeewai Chong, a seasoned investment professional from Morgan Stanley and Ortus Capital. Humanity Foundation will serve as the driving force behind Humanity Protocol’s ecosystem, with a mission to fund innovation, incentivize community growth, and explore transformative use cases for decentralized identity. At the core of Humanity Protocol is its Proof of Humanity framework, which kickstarts identity verification with privacy-preserving biometrics to establish human uniqueness. This foundational layer provides a secure and sybil-resistant way to authenticate users while preserving their privacy. Building on this biometric foundation, Humanity Protocol enables users to layer additional credentials—such as educational qualifications, employment history, and social reputation—onto their verified identity. This creates an extensible, decentralized, and open identity layer that empowers users to take ownership of their data and interact confidently across digital and physical domains. “Biometrics provide the ideal starting point for building a secure, decentralized identity system,” said Yeewai Chong, interim CEO of Humanity Foundation. “By anchoring Proof of Humanity in biometric verification, we unlock a world of possibilities for integrating diverse human attributes into a single, privacy-first identity framework.” Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

As someone who has overseen teams of customer success and service, this was a very interesting conversation. We are at a point where many of these human services can be replaced by machine. Listen to what is happening now with Dimitri Masin, CEO and Cofounder at Gradient Labs’. While AI-powered customer service isn’t new, regulated industries have been left behind due to strict compliance requirements and the high cost of mistakes. AI customer service agents can achieve 80-90% resolution rates, 75% cost savings, and a 98% quality assurance pass rate (compared to 90% for humans), outperforming both human agents and traditional bots.
