1:43:38

On this episode AVB sits down with David Lachmish, co-founder of IKA (previously Dwallet Network). IKA is the fastest parallel MPC network launching on Sui. I really enjoyed this conversation as it has a really natural flow, covering, among many things: * How adversity creates excellence and comfort breeds mediocrity. Why everyone should spend at least one year living in a culture different from where they grew up in. * An analysis of the current web3 landscape - why web3 is fundamentally a cybersecurity industry. * The work of his cracked team of award winning cryptographers and security researchers. * Back to the basics: the fundamental guarantees of blockchain and how public key cryptography works. * A masterclass in MPC networks - how they have evolved, different ways of implementing (ZK, FHE) for different use cases. * IKA novel algorithm for zero trust, mass implementation. * Use cases for IKA builders * And a lot more!

On this wide ranging conversation we sit down with Maria Yarotska, Hackathon Headmistress of the NEAR Ecosystem, contributor at DevHub. Some of the topics we cover and stood out to me: * Anatomy of a hacker: tales from an experienced hackathon organiser on what makes some teams thrive and others burst in flames. * Maria's Origins: attending a Space Tech hackathon that changed her life. * Thoughts on different approaches to hackathons.

Ep. 69 - Breaking Out of the Virtual Machine w. Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol, NEAR AI) 51:35

22 weeks پیش51:35

51:35

Conversation with Illia Polosukhin (co-founder @nearprotocol) also known on the streets as The Black Dragon, recorded live during [Redacted] Bangkok 2024. Illia does A LOT of public appearances and interviews. On this interview we break norm and rather than focus of the tech (the WHAT) we focus instead on Illia's journey (Who and Why). Even though we only had 1 hour, the result has far exceeded our expectations. Some of the highlights: * Illia reads in Megabytes. How his life changed when someone gave him a CD ROM loaded with 700mb of .txt books fuelling his imagination. * Wild imagination and builder more from a young age. Not only did Illia start writing his own science fiction books when he was young, he also built a publishing platform to distribute them! Only catch - he never finished any of them as he got bored after he knew how things played out in his head. * Learning how to code at age 10; importance of family and supportive teachers in school. Building games and keeping cheat codes in summer camp and more! * Growing up poor, building character. How Ukraine has shaped VALUES. * Broken internet and role of MATHs, formal verification, and AI agents. * So much more! Enjoy…

Ep. 68 - Pagoda Unplugged w. Eric Winer, CTO & Managing Director @ Pagoda 1:50:06

1:50:06

Wide ranging conversation with Eric Winer, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Managing Director at Pagoda. What makes this podcast special is that it was recorded just a few days after the announcement of several spinouts and the rest of Pagoda sunsetting came out. Which sets the scene for a very honest and insightful Eric. Some of the topics we cover and personal highlights: - Eric has been very early and led massive growth at Gemini and Nifty Gateway. Common thread: taking familiar user experiences, implementing high standards of delivery and excellence to bring web3 to the masses. - The ways in which working for a hedge fund are different from building products; money as end goal cf. a real user as end-goal, how this influences team formation (skills and view-point diversity). Finally, we also touched on challenges of Product in an Engineering focused organisation (following up on our previous conversation with Alex Chiocchi, former head of Product at Pagoda. - Raw, honest assessment of factors that lead to Pagoda dissolution: expensive organisation, on competitiveness and sustainability of NEAR ecosystem of third party providers, founder led organisations and the advantages of smaller, focused teams as startups over larger well funded organisations. - A breakdown of a lot of Pagoda's services: what they do, importance, challenges going into the future, and opportunities for new providers. There is A LOT more, including a lot said between the lines. We hope this conversation is well received by all stakeholders involved and that it may be useful in addressing some of the outstanding matters in the best way possible.

Ep. 67 - Beyond Memecoins: Discover The Movement to Achieve SuperIntelligence w. Cameron Dennis 1:24:15

35 weeks پیش1:24:15

1:24:15

This is the second conversation we have with Cameron Dennis, although the first one never got released as it was deemed too spicy! Cameron was one of the earliest contributors to NEAR Inc, spearheading Business Development and eventually recruiting a BD team. He's outlasted several NEAR Foundation CEO's, even it as some point he parted ways with NF due to a 'lack of culture fit'. A ruthless hustler. Cameron provides unique insights into many things. Some of my personal highlights: 1. Evolution: we are very candid about the Evolution of NEAR ecosystem. With a focus on the lessons learned and practical suggestions on how to move forward, we provide a detailed overview for those who may have been lost or confused along the way. 2. What is NEAR, really? We drill down on the origins story, the pivots, the vision that has always been but nobody knows. NEAR is not just another blockchain, it is THE OPEN WEB. 3. Community Reset: is it time to start a cult? 4. Beyond crypto; this is a race for humanity and superintelligence. 5. NEAR AI is two things: a hub for everyone working on any piece of the AI stack, and the in-house Developer AI Resources NEAR AI Masterplan: https://near.ai/ Follow on Socials Cameron - https://x.com/Cameron_Dennis_ AVB - https://x.com/avbNear Wuipod - https://x.com/Wuipod…

Ep. 66 - From Infra Saturation to Mass Consumer Applications w. Romain @ Polymorphic Capital 1:45:24

37 weeks پیش1:45:24

1:45:24

Wide ranging conversation with Romain Despoel, an associate at Polymorphic Capital. Romaind and AVB met at ETH CC Brussels 2024 and immediately hit if off. Some would say that sharing across two hackathons in such a short timeframe would bring any two people together, but we believe it is due to their shared past growing up in Venezuela that they have developed a strong friendship. Some of the things we talk about that stood out to me: - We open by discussing Venezuela. Romain's brief sting there when he was 7 and AVB's childhood, along with current electoral fraud. - ZK Explainer: how it went from something cool but only theoretical Romain learned at uni to cool, real world uses cases in web3. - Fully Homomorphic Encryption: what it is, how it works, why it is exciting! - ETH CC Builds and hackathon stories in general. Being a builder is fun. The energy captured on the pod is contagious. - Tales as a VC: challenges of investing in a Bull Market. Wild valuations, founders taking secondaries, what do people actually do for work everyday?! - From Infra saturation to mass consumer applications. - Infra fire round: hot takes on Real World Assets, Social, chain abstraction, DePIN. We had a blast recording. Hope you enjoy.

Wide Ranging conversation with Nick Havryliak, co-founder at Assisterr. Assisterr is a Data Provenance Protocol & Marketplace of domain-specific Small Language Models (SLMs) owned by the community. Summary In this episode we discuss the convergence of Web3 and AI. They delve into Nick's background in consulting, product management, and his journey into Web3 and AI. Nick elaborates on the limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) and explains the advantages of using Small Language Models through the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) process. They also brainstorm innovative applications for community-generated data, such as leveraging past hackathon projects to enhance future hackathons. Throughout the conversation, they explore the importance of maintaining human-centric values in AI development while navigating the evolving technological landscape. Spicy and Memorable Things that stood out to me (AVB) and kept me reflecting long after episode was recorded: * Importance of keeping it human. On dancing, focusing on enjoying life and spreading good vibes. * How the geopolitical (Ukraine) has shaped Nick's worldview. The West just doesn't get it. * Approaching Dev Rel with a Product Mindset; leveraging AI to obtain efficiency gains and unlock more value and new use cases. * The limitations of current LLMs (trained on publicly available data) and how to create incentives for procuring privately held data. * Cost structure of different approaches to AI: RAG, fine tuning, and own base models.

Peter (CEO) and Jasper (CTO) are co-founders at SEDA Protocol, a base layer focused on interoperability. You may know them from Flux, their prior First Party Oracle protocol - Flux. On this pod, we waste no time and we go DEEP into the future of decentralised infrastructure and what would be required for mass adoption. The promise? Chain abstraction. ALPHA WARNING Some of the things we cover include: * Defining key terms such as blockchains (multiple), oracles and bridges using tons of useful and playful analogies. * Challenges and shortcomings of the current oracles. Kingmakers or bottlenecks? Perhaps both * SEDA's evolution: from a fancier cart and buggy to becoming a Ferrari. Rethinking interconnectivity and data availability * Novel ways to monetise data: mind-melting Oracle Extractable Value [Alpha Warning] * Other protocol features: how anyone can become a data provider, how to setup your own relay, how to launch products as modules, and more! * Data. Chain abstraction. Rust. Rrrrrrrr * and much more.
