  • In this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Andy Boyan and Andrew Redden about their latest project, Hypurr Finance, a lending platform built for Hyperliquid and on the HyperEVM.

    Hyperliquid recently executed one of the largest and most successful airdrops in crypto history, and we start the episode by unpacking the strategy and impacts behind that and the LAST team’s rationale behind building HypurrFi on HyperEVM.

    We also talked about the future of DeFi, the impact of decentralization, and the new dynamics in cryptocurrency ecosystems.

    Andy previously appeared on Rehash in S4 E3 | Rules of Game Design w/Andy Boyan.

    In this episode, Jim Chang, co-founder of Catalyst and CrossCats, joins us to talk about the journey of building Catalyst, a platform initially aimed at Cosmos chains, pivoted to focusing on Ethereum rollups, and is now focused on altVMs.

    Jim shares insights into their new product, CrossCats, an intent-based bridge facilitating easier and faster transactions across different virtual machines. We dive into the challenges of cross-chain bridging, market predictions, and strategic decisions behind adopting AltVMs over traditional EVM chains. Jim does a great job of explaining the complexities of blockchain interoperability and the potential future landscape of decentralized networks.

    Jim previously appeared on Rehash in S4 E9: Millions of Modular Blockchains w/Jimmy Chang, which aired on April 13, 2023, and again in Minihash 003 | EthCC 2024 Recap: Key Insights, Trends, and Conference Highlights w/Jimmy Chang.

  • In our first episode of Season 10, we’re speaking with Bunny, CEO of Dora, an onchain discovery engine that’s making it easier than ever for people to discover new apps and projects across a multitude of chains.

    We talk about why onchain data is important and more specifically why human readable onchain data is important. Bunny explains why he believes read only block explorers will die over the long run and we’ll end up with dev-focused, analytics-focused, and consumer-focused experiences for onchain data.

    Bunny also shares his thoughts on what the endstate of consumer crypto is and how well we’re progressing toward that goal.

  • In our final episode of Season 9, we’re speaking with Jill Gunter, Chief Strategy Officer at Espresso Systems, the coordination layer that unites chains, rollups, and applications.

    We start off with a hot topic nowadays which is whether we should be focusing more on building infrastructure or apps. You might assume you know where Jill stands on this topic as someone who’s working on a middleware solution, but there’s actually a lot more to the story from her perspective.

    Jill has lots of excellent analogies to help us better understand technical concepts like shared sequencers and rollups, and she debunks some common misconceptions people have about Espresso ahead of their mainnet launch this quarter.

    This is an excellent episode for the nontechnical person to listen to to better understand how various components of blockchains work, as well as for the more technical person to have some of their uncertainties about shared sequencers and the work Espresso is doing around that cleared up.

  • In this episode, we’re speaking with Gloria Kimbwala, Head of Events at Sei Foundation, about crypto events and crypto in the global south.

    Gloria has been working in the crypto space since 2017, primarily within builder communities and more recently as the events lead at Sei Foundation. She has attended and organized countless events, both in crypto and outside of crypto, and she shares her knowledge and expertise with us on how to design a successful event, and from the attendee side, how to decide which events to go to when it feels like there’s literally a crypto event every single week.

    We spend the second half of this convo talking about crypto in the global south - what types of apps and use cases are being built out there and more importantly how to get funding into the hands of founders based in Africa and LATAM.

  • In this episode, we’re speaking with Toby Shorin, Laura Lotti, and Sam Hart from Other Internet about their most recent article on crypto’s three body problem, clarifying some common misconceptions about headless brands, and getting their take on the current state of onchain culture.

    The idea for this collaboration or interview came about when we had Jon Wu on the podcast last season in S8 E4 which aired on May 9, 2024. In that episode, Jon criticized the concept of a “headless brand” that was coined by the Other Internet team back in 2019, and Toby Shorin responded that Jon’s interpretation of “headless brands” was not what the authors had intended when they wrote the article. It turns out that many people have similar interpretations of “headless brands” that Jon had, so it was helpful and productive to give the Other Internet team a chance to clarify what they meant.

    We then discuss their latest article on crypto’s three body problem and give the team a chance to speak about it for the first time since publishing the article, and finally I asked Sam about a spicy post he wrote recently that called out a lot of the current onchain culture for being “completely soulless” and a “cultural wasteland.”

    ​Toby, Laura, and Sam were nominated for Rehash by Diana Chen and voted onto the podcast by Richie Bonilla, Triumph, fifthworldzach, Tim Black, Birb, Amy Jung, Rachael Amy, and Anay Sim.

  • In this episode, we’re speaking with 0xdesigner about all things design, anonymity, and UX/UI in web3.

    This is the longest episode in Rehash history, but we had so much to talk about and 0xdesigner graciously gave us almost two hours of his time to share his thoughts on all things consumer crypto, UX improvements, and the design space.

    0xdesigner is primarily a product designer who has been putting out a new UX/UI design each day for the past 1.5 years, usually some sort of UX or design improvement to an existing app or envisioning a new app.

    Not only does he have so many clever and creative ideas he shares every day, but he also has so much optimism and enthusiasm for crypto throughout all the highs and lows over the past few years. He truly believes in a future that’s enhanced by crypto and blockchain and is focused every day on working toward that goal.

    0xdesigner was nominated by Ernest Kou and voted onto the podcast by Brenner Spear, Tom Scaria, Magenta Ceiba, Ernest Kou, Nick Naraghi, Lucas, Birb, Amy Jung, fifthworldzach, Maz, and David Phelps.
