Wow!Jonny transitioned from working at Google to freelancing at Coinbase and Polychain Labs, gaining valuable experience in the crypto industry.The development of HyperSub, a subscription NFT product, offers a unique approach to subscriptions, allowing for time-bound access and non-automated recurring payments.The conversation explores the concept of subscription fatigue and the challenges and opportunities it presents for creators and subscribers.The discussion highlights the importance of thoughtful and purposeful subscription models, as well as the value of time-bound access and the ability to top up subscriptions. On-chain subscriptions and NFTs provide a new way for creators to monetize their content and engage with their audience.The user experience and simplicity of the platform are crucial for the success of on-chain subscriptions and NFTs.Creators play a significant role in marketing and promoting on-chain subscriptions, leveraging their success to attract new users and creators to the platform.The intersection of media distribution and blockchain technology presents both challenges and opportunities for growth and expansion in the future. And it maybe the only realistic future.
In this conversation, I talk with Jonny about his journey into the world of crypto, his transition from working at Google, and Coinbase, to founding his own company - called Fabric and their development of Hypersub; an onchain subscription service. You could say Hypersub is NaaS product - NFTs as a subscription (NaaS).

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
