  • 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 talk with Paddy (aka Spartacusrex), and he introduces my long-time favorite blockchain called Minima Network. Blockchain that runs on your phone or any edge device. Of course, we also talk about his journey into crypto/blockchain world, the early adoption of Bitcoin, and the appeal of decentralization.

    Paddy explains how Minima Network was started and the importance of decentralization in their project. We talk about the business model of Minima and the launch of the network, the supply cap of Minima and the minimum number of users needed for the successful decentralisation of Minima Network, including the full decentralization of Minima's servers, which happened in Jan2024, and the use of Minima in cars or writing MiniDapps on top of the network.

    Takeaways
    - The success of a blockchain project depends on the number of users and the level of decentralization achieved.
    - Minima Network aims to provide a user-friendly experience and make blockchain technology accessible to everyone.

  • 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!

  • Summary

    Imagine stitching together the worlds of fashion, technology, and blockchain. For the story of a former fashion intern turned crypto advocate, I think it's fair to say that Winny's story is almost one of academic defiance, a near-failed thesis.

    In this conversation with Winnie, we discuss her journey into crypto and her involvement in various projects. She shares her interest in blockchain for sustainability and transparency in the fashion industry, as well as her experiences working with growth agencies, curating galleries, and launching NFT projects. That's a long list of interesting links that you'll find at the end of show notes.

    Winnie introduces Gossip Protocol, her platform for creating fun and engaging marketing campaigns for blockchain products. She also discusses Chipped, her collaboration with Kiki World to create NFC-enabled press-on nails. We conclude the conversation with a point on voting (go vote for your favorite color!) and co-creation in the crypto space.

    Takeaways
