My conversation with evan.sui As the CEO of Mysten Labs, Evan is relentlessly focused on building the unified abstraction layers necessary to bring blockchain technology to the masses. The team is doing the hard architectural work with Sui to move beyond traditional digital ledgers, utilizing a complex object model to enable true parallelization and seamless developer experiences We spend a lot of time unpacking the limitations of EVM L2s, why top-down application design matters, and the massive opportunities at the intersection of verifiable automation and AI At the center of this conversation is the verticalization of the Sui stack from Deepbook to Walrus and the belief that the next generation of global adoption requires platforms to look more like cohesive operating systems rather than fragmented networks. We discuss: - Why the industry needs to raise the abstraction layer for global adoption - The architectural limitations of EVM chains and the failure of L2 scalability - Walrus, Deepbook, and the verticalization of the Sui platform - Why Sui's object model fundamentally differs from traditional digital ledgers - The intersection of AI and blockchain: persistent memory and verifiable trust - Unlocking Bitcoin's stagnant capital - The upcoming EVE Online partnership and the future of web3 gaming - Why blockchains must operate with sustainable business models Enjoy!

My conversation with Max Resnick As a researcher pushing the frontier of Solana's market structure, Max is relentlessly focused on the engineering required to turn a general-purpose L1 into credibly neutral, high-performance financial infrastructure. He and Anza are doing the hard protocol level work to mitigate bad MEV, eliminate colocation advantages, and bring all of finance onchain We spend a lot of time unpacking the shift from single-leader to Multi-Concurrent Leader (MCL) designs and why this change could fundamentally redefine global market structure At the center of this conversation is the Constellation Proposal, 50ms protocol-enforced economic ticks and T+0 settlement, and the belief that true DeFi requires moving beyond the constraints of traditional data center colocation We discuss: - Why multi-proposer designs are necessary to solve the single-leader bottleneck - The end of colocation and what it means for truly decentralized trading - Multiple Concurrent Leaders as a solution to censorship and MEV - The Constellation Proposal, 50ms economic ticks, and latency reduction - Why Solana is the preferred home for high-throughput trading and T+0 settlement - Market making dynamics and dual-flow batch auctions - FCFS vs. priority ordering and the future of on-chain finance Enjoy!

My conversation with @KeoneHon. As the Cofounder of Monad, Keone is relentlessly focused on building a credibly neutral foundation for developers, actively resisting the crypto Twitter pressure to verticalize for short-term revenue. He and his team are doing the hard, ground-up engineering required to eliminate the technical debt of the EVM. We spend a lot of time unpacking the specific breakthroughs enabling Monad's performance, from fundamentally re-architecting storage trees with MIP-8 to the massive, often-overlooked importance of optimizing the read layer. At the center of it is a belief that true scaling requires turning the dial on both higher performance and cheaper hardware requirements to maximize throughput per unit of compute. We discuss: - Why building a robust ecosystem is more important than verticalizing for Day 1 revenue - Hyperliquid, Appchains, and the true value of a credibly neutral base layer -MIP-8, re-architecting storage trees, and unlocking massive EVM performance upgrades - The unsung importance of the "Read Layer" and making RPCs developer-friendly - Multiple Concurrent Leaders (MCP) and mitigating the impact of MEV - Why "stablecoin-only" chains will inevitably have to pivot to general-purpose DeFi Enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & Why Ecosystem Building Beats Verticalizing for Revenue 13:03 Hyperliquid, Appchains vs Decentralized Base Layers 20:26 Why Trading and Shared State is the Primary Driver of Blockchains 27:38 The Inevitable Pivot of Stablecoin Chains to DeFi 32:06 MEV, Censorship Resistance, & Multiple Concurrent Leaders (MCP) 41:12 Rethinking the EVM: MIP-8 and Optimizing State Access 44:47 The Critical Importance of the Read Layer & Ponder Acquisition 51:56 L2s, Crypto Twitter Sentiment, and Building from First Principles 58:00 Hardware Scaling and Throughput per Compute

Emerging from the ashes, a new competitor, Titan, has entered the arena. Titan is an emerging player that has swiftly risen from stealth to become crypto’s Interactive Broker, delivering the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) across all assets. I sat down with the CTO, @defythepancake, to dive into all things Titan—TLDR: the quants are absolutely cracked! Thanks for jumping back into the podcast game Andrew 🙏 YouTube: Spotify/Apple:

In order to expand blockchains past its relatively niche size today, we must tap into emerging markets Recently Jambo has announced a phone focused predominately on emerging markets for users in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America to access the digital economy at a price of $99 with a partnership with Aptos It was my pleasure to sit down with both and James, the respective Founder of these ecosystems, to talk about this partnership and expanding blockchain adoption globally Youtube: Spotify:
