Invisible Infrastructure > Legacy Banking Moving $800M in the old world takes days of manual approvals and massive overhead. On LayerZero, it takes seconds and costs $1.80. This is why Bryan Pellegrino (臭企鹅) views LZ as the internet layer for money. If capital can’t move as fast as information, it’s broken.

In our latest episode, host Robert Hackett (Robert Hackett) sits down with Bryan Pellegrino (Bryan Pellegrino (臭企鹅)), cofounder and CEO of LayerZero, one of the core infrastructure projects that enables blockchains to talk to one another. We talk about why crypto went multichain, what it means for crypto to compete with legacy financial systems, and a lesson Bryan took firsthand from Elon Musk. We also get into Bryan’s background as a professional poker player, and how that has shaped his views on competition, conviction, and focus. We go deep on founder psychology: – When founders must replace early leadership — and why no one talks about it – Why conviction matters more than advice – And why the hardest decisions are the ones no playbook prepares you for Here's a snippet from the conversation.

💡" When I think about the revolution and I think about how I talk to people, it really is about the fact that you're moving money, with Sub-Zero fees, like the fees are just tiny, and so it allows just so much opportunity for growth to be built on top of the network, and that truly is what an open network is all about." - Denelle Dixon Full interview on PayPal 🤝 Stellar's announcement 👇

Vitalik Buterin: Why Consortium Blockchains Have Almost Completely Failed Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin vitalik.eth declared the original vision of consortium blockchains a failure in a July 20, 2024 Arbitrum video. He noted that these private chains inherit the drawbacks of both centralized and decentralized systems, resulting in cartel-like structures devoid of real openness or privacy. As a viable alternative, Buterin proposed retrofitting existing centralized servers with cryptographic scaffolding—anchoring proofs and Merkle roots on-chain to enhance security without overhauling current infrastructure.

Dramatic footage captured the moment immigration enforcement agents attempted to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis on Tuesday, January 27, with staffers moving quickly to block them from the premises. Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry said it presented a “note of protest” to the US embassy in Ecuador so that actions of this nature never happen again in any Ecuadorian consulate in the US.

So Bilal bin Saqib MBE just did what entire systems failed to do for years. Crypto exchanges in Pakistan can now open legit bank accounts with proper KYC. This guy could’ve made millions doing crypto consultancy but chose to drop it and work for Pakistan without chasing a salary. While others talk, one man sacrificed time, money, and built real change. Pakistan just moved one step forward because of him.

Digital infrastructure is now public infrastructure; we just haven’t started treating it that way. When roads or power grids fail, we fix them collectively. When digital systems fail, we hope private companies step in. This is backwards. If the internet is going to be the foundation of global society, the systems beneath it must be: open, verifiable, resistant to unilateral control, and most of all, accountable to the people who rely on them. The Second Age of Polkadot is about designing digital infrastructure that behaves like infrastructure, not a product owned by a handful of companies.

.kash breaks down the RWA inflows landing on Solana and what they mean for the network: "Anyone who's in the industry and understands what's actually happening on Solana right now is ridiculously bullish. Alpenglow is coming, which is going to put it on par with a centralized exchange experience in terms of block times, latency and finalization" "Something in recent days, $700 million of RWA have come to Solana - more than have come to all other chains put together. Liquidity begets liquidity, and as more of those assets come onto Solana, the easier it is for the entire network to continue to scale" "It's coming partially from other chains, but it's also net new money that's coming in. Something like 98% of all tokenized equities trading on chain is happening on Solana"
