Georgios Vlachos is the co-founder of Axelar Protocol and director at Axelar Foundation. He received his BSc and MS Eng. in computer science at MIT. After graduation, he became part of the Algorand founding team. Axelar is a Web3 interoperability platform, delivering the shortest path to scale: an open stack to connect all blockchains. Why you should listen Axelar is a decentralized network designed to seamlessly connect various blockchain ecosystems, enabling secure cross-chain communication for Web3 applications. By acting as an overlay network, Axelar allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that can interact with assets and functionalities across multiple blockchains, simplifying user experiences and broadening access to decentralized economies. In 2024, Axelar introduced the Mobius Development Stack (MDS), comprising: Interchain Amplifier: A tool that allows for the permissionless connection of new blockchains to the Axelar network, enhancing scalability and flexibility. Interchain Token Service (ITS): Enables the minting and management of tokens across multiple blockchains, maintaining their fungibility and custom functionalities. Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM): Provides a programmable layer for cross-chain logic, allowing developers to deploy smart contracts that operate across different blockchain ecosystems. These innovations aim to establish new interoperability standards, facilitating the development of dApps that can seamlessly operate across various blockchain networks. The native utility token of the Axelar network, AXL, plays a crucial role in maintaining network security through staking, enabling governance participation, and serving as a medium for transaction fees. This tokenomics model incentivizes active participation and ensures the network's robustness and scalability. By providing a comprehensive solution for cross-chain communication, Axelar is contributing to the unification of blockchain ecosystems, promoting greater accessibility, and driving the adoption of decentralized applications across the Web3 landscape.

Whist I was manically refreshing my Crypto Fidelity page while smoking a joint praying for better spreads and a painless brazilian wax, it occurred to me that this new cycle will hit different. Alas I wager we will see less of the pitiful tech bros peddling nonsensical seasons of DeFi summers and meaningless phrases like interoperable metaverse masking their low confidence in newfound stoicism and Marcus Aurelius Bullshit- but of what is to come remains remarkably unknown. Deep in the confines of my own imagination, I still wonder, is it cool to Love Trump if my Bitcoin earnings finance my donation to a do nothing liberal organization. Alas, with prices higher than losers at Burning man I still remain on my somewhat asbergers yet violent quest armed with my baccarat bedazzled magnifying glass to discover if people are actually using this shit. I see everyone with a networth that can finance a qui qong instructor and a ski chalet in Verbier purchase crypto at Fidelity. Why? Because ultimately, my banker is my best friend. Show me a rich person lending on Aave save for Stani and I will show you an Alvin Ailey Dancer who voted for Trump. Ce n'est pas possible. I digress; My guest is the ever so fabulous hot crypto power mom fellow podcast host Fund Partner Keli Callaghan. I met Keli deep in the trenches of Covid in a Cafeteria somewhere in Gstaad. She educated me on the deep misrepresentations of both masks and Algorand, wildly misunderstood concepts that played a crucial role in the health of our society and their impacts will be studied for years to come. Despite her no longer being at Algorand, Keli drove its marketcap to astronomical proportions resulting in Keli's undeniable fame. She has over 20K X followers leading her to require a security team at Glitter Ledger Headquarters.Keli currently serves as the Partner and Chic Growth Officer of Arrington Capital alongside Michael Arrington. She is so much more than your typical soulless one dimensional crypto VC with no meaningful thoughts or insights. Keli has a long history of marketing and storytelling for brands in the traditional world of actually working. She also studies how to manipulate people and how to find psychopaths amongst us in a course that one must be specially recommended for. Her insights on leadership, luck, and career development are insightful without being trite or pathetic. She is smart, hilarious and could have hosted this show herself.

Niall Dennehy is an Irish entrepreneur and the co-founder and COO of AID:Tech, bringing traceability and transparency to the flow of funds for governments, NGOs and charities with their payments and digital identity infrastructure bridging web2 to web3. In this episode, I reconnected with Niall to explore the groundbreaking journey of their mission-driven company since Niall was last on MoneyNeverSleeps in 2018 (episode 11 linked here and below). The conversation spans the company's digital identity and payments innovations, especially through their Kare Wallet which accelerates financial assistance to disaster survivors. Leveraging blockchain technology, the platform ensures transparent, traceable, and secure distribution of relief funds, partnering with entities like Walmart to prevent misuse. Niall reflects on the emotional impact on both survivors and AID:Tech employees, underscoring the mission that deeply resonates with their team. The discussion delves into strategic approaches to funding, including securing non-dilutive grants, engaging with VCs, and the valuable experiences from accelerator programs like Techstars. Niall and I also touch upon the 'Five H's' of success - happy, hungry, humble, helpful, and healthy - emphasizing the importance of holistic wellbeing in driving sustained impact and growth for AID:Tech. Overall, this episode offers an insightful look into AID:Tech's ethos, their strategic growth, and the pivotal role of technology in enhancing disaster relief efforts. AID:Tech was in the news most recently when its Kare Survivor Wallet was deployed in the US to provide rapid financial assistance and fulfillment services to hurricane disaster survivors with the ability to respond to multiple disasters at once - creating a critical lifeline for vulnerable and underserved communities. Where it used to take weeks if not months for relief disbursements to reach survivors, it now takes hours or even seconds for survivors to access funds. Before Niall co-founded AID:Tech with CEO Joseph Thompson in 2015, he led the design, development and growth of numerous award-winning apps and platforms, working in over 40 countries. Beyond AID:Tech, Niall gives first to founders and gives back to Techstars as a mentor for the Techstars Web3 accelerator. The Techstars Web3 accelerator invests in entrepreneurs building in web3 and enabling the next wave of growth in the decentralized internet and in tokenized economies.

On Wednesday, a federal court in New York heard oral arguments in Coinbase's motion to dismiss the SEC's case against it for, among other things, allegedly acting as an unregulated securities exchange. Notably, Judge Katherine Polk Failla pressed the SEC to explain how it has jurisdiction over Coinbase in the case by defining what it considers a security. Sam Enzer, a partner at Cahill Gorden & Reindel who represents Coinbase but not in this matter, joined Unchained to discuss why this case is so significant for the crypto industry, how he believes the government contradicted itself on the crucial definition of what constitutes a security, why he thinks the judge will not dismiss the case at this early stage, how the Ripple and Terraform Labs cases could be used by each side, and why he thinks Judge Failla is such a perfect choice to rule in this case.
