Summary
In this episode, we discuss with Oren Fine, co-founder of SphereX, the importance of security in the crypto space and how SphereX is on a mission to bring proactive protection to protocols and smart contracts.
Oren shares his background in cybersecurity and how he became interested in Web3 and also explains how Spheerex protects protocols by blocking malicious transactions in real-time before they're executed. This is big difference from ex-post reporting of hacks and lost funds.
We talk about the challenges of the market education. Most projects these days equate security with security audit or transaction monitoring. We touch on the future of SphereX in 2024, what dream clients would Oren love to get for SphereX and Oren also provides guidance for users on choosing trustworthy protocols.
I really enjoyed this chat, and I believe what the SphereX team is trying to do is a very much-needed step up for the security in our Web3 space.Takeaways
Security is a crucial aspect of the crypto space, and SphereX aims to provide real-time protection for protocols and applications.SphereX blocks malicious transactions before they are finalized, ensuring security of funds in decentralized ecosystems.The main challenges for SphereX are market education and onboarding more customers, including DeFi protocols and layer one and layer two chains.Users should look for reputable teams behind projects and ensure they see decentralization and continuity plans in the protocols they interact with.Oren's dream clients for SphereX include major DeFi protocols like Uniswap and Aave. I keep my fingers crossed for the team to get these clients onboard in 2024!

In this episode, I chat with Manos, the co-founder of WeatherXM, who shares their hardware project's fascinating journey from building the first LoRaWAN network in Greece to its pivot into blockchain-enabled weather data management.
The team initially started in 2012 with the idea of building a crowd-sourced weather observation network. However, it wasn't until 2019 that they combined their hardware expertise with the concepts of Filecoin and Helium to create WeatherXM. The company has since manufactured and sold thousands of home weather stations and is preparing for its token launch on the mainnet. They are also exploring partnerships and business models to expand their reach and impact in the weather data industry.
Manos also discusses an interesting idea that can support global expansion - it is a model that separates the financial investment from the operational management of weather stations. This strategy would enable patrons in affluent nations to fund weather station installations for others in developing regions.
It is a fascinating and also motivating journey. Make sure you listen to the whole episode!Chapters

Summary
In this episode of Web3Magic, I talk with Simon Brown as he shares his experiences and insights from his time at Devconnect-Istanbul and his involvement in the crypto space.
He discusses the value of spending time in hacker houses and the importance of meeting and collaborating with people in the industry.
Fair warning - this is a bit more tech-heavy episode, and you may feel like you need to research some terms and projects to get the complete understanding of what's being discussed.
Simon also highlights the topics of network abstraction, account abstraction, identity, and reputation as areas of interest and growth in the crypto space. He mentions projects such as Verax and EAS that are pioneering the field of on-chain attestations. Simon emphasizes the need for continuous work (and no time for complacency) on decentralization in Ethereum and the ongoing work in measuring and maintaining decentralization. He encourages listeners to explore projects like Ceramic and Intuition, focusing on off-chain attestations.Takeaways

Ready to have your mind blown? Imagine a world where money flows through blockchains to you like a stream, continuously transferring second by second without the need for gas fees. That's exactly what I am talking about with my guest 0xFran from Superfluid this week.
He's sharing his journey into the crypto world and how he and his co-founder came up with a revolutionary protocol that could transform the way we handle financial transactions forever.
If your business is still stuck with traditional recurring payment methods, then listen up! Streaming money could serve as a more efficient system for recurring payments, eliminating cash flow gaps and creating unprecedented efficiency. If you ever wondered about the future of recurring payments, you will love this episode.
But hold on, there's more! We're not stopping at just payments. We're going to look at the concept of mental costs, and discuss how Superfluid can reduce slippage and fees in trading. And let's not forget about Superfluid's open-source nature and their monthly hackathons for developers. You don't want to miss this!
So, join me and Fran as we journey into (hopefully) the future of finance with Superfluid.

What if your tiny team with a grand vision for a blockchain-based application could simply and effectively build it without the need to develop all the extra services and maintenance packages and without worries about counterparty risks?
I get up close and personal with Johannes, the co-founder of Nerif Network, a project designed to make that happen. Johannes shares how a project in South Africa fueled his interest in crypto, leading him from a career in consulting and investing to co-founding Nerif. Join us to see how NeriF aims make Devex suck less!
And not only that - have you ever wondered what it would be like living in a crypto-friendly environment? We take a virtual trip to Switzerland's Crypto Valley, a rapidly growing European hub of crypto activity. Guided by true local. If you're a developer, founder, or simply crypto-curious, you'll want to hear about this digital hub's family friendliness (maybe because of Crypto Dads group?) and also why it's not the most exciting place for singles.
We cover a lot of topics with Johannes, so don't expect developer-focused talk - we talk music, technology, streaming services, the potential of blockchain in revolutionizing how artists get paid, exciting prospects of NFT ticketing and more, including tacos.
This episode provides a buffet of insights and stories to satisfy your crypto-curiosity.

In this episode, I meet with Francesca. A digital nomad lady with founder and community-building experience. She's take us on very cool journey, from founding her own project to leading the EU market for a privacy-focused Web3 project, zkPass. Join us as we discover how her curiosity and commitment have been instrumental in her success in this tech-driven sector.
I like ZK technologies in general, they give us a glimpse of hope for preserving some privacy in the future and zkPass has great potential to become a bridge for private data transfers from web2 to Web3. Francesca will talk about some transformative use cases, like digital IDs and digital residency for travel, and how they may play a significant role in the African Union's ID verification system.
We also touch on the importance of diversity in the tech sector and its ability to tackle complex problems. We both invite you to approach the world of blockchain technology with an open mind and hopefully use-cases we discuss today will help spark your interest.

Get ready to unravel the world of NFTs as I chat with Bruno Skvorc, Web3 hacker and educator with a long blockchain history. Hear how Bruno moved from his early days in web development through the land of Ethereum, Polkadot and Kusama, into multichain future of modular NFTs. Bruno will talk about his current venture, RMRK, an innovative project aimed at creating smarter and more efficient NFTs. Bruno has a knack for translating complex knowledge into easy-to-digest information.
We also delve into the concept of ownership in this space, examining the need for long-term, decentralized projects, motivations driving people to plunge into the world of NFTs, and the challenge of selling a technology that does everything.
There are many other interesting moments in our conversation, including the captivating concept of Skybridge project where the entire world is an NFT owned by the community.
