Episode #363: In post-coup Myanmar, where conventional aid channels with humanitarian intentions risk getting diverted and empowering the military junta, Blockchain technology presents a nuanced alternative. An anonymous Blockchain researcher, 7k, highlights both the promise and the pitfalls of digital solutions. He explains that “Blockchain is a fundamental technology that enables cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to emerge or work,” offering a potential detour around junta-controlled centralized banks. However, he acknowledges that crypto is not without its own challenges and pitfalls: the risk of arrest, fraudulent schemes like money laundering, and practical obstacles such as limited accessibility, elevated costs, and the necessity for user-friendly interfaces. He notes that Blockchain offers a potential bypass to centralized banks controlled by the junta. Unlike centralized servers susceptible to control and surveillance, Blockchain functions as a distributed ledger, providing transparency coupled with pseudonymous transactions. This characteristic, according to 7k, could offer a layer of protection against the junta's oversight, enabling more secure operations for the people of Myanmar and aid organizations. Moreover, in a nation grappling with a rapidly depreciating kyat, cryptocurrencies offer a potentially more stable store of value. The technology's utility extends beyond finance, with initiatives exploring Blockchain-based digital identities for marginalized communities like the Rohingya, who have historically been denied recognition.

Marcin - Co-founder and GTM lead at Redstone, crypto veteran since 2017 with background in quantitative economics. Previously worked at Google Cloud before founding Redstone in 2020.The Oracle Infrastructure RevolutionRedstone's Modular Architecture Redstone built a fundamentally different oracle system designed for scalability from day one. Unlike traditional models that were difficult to scale across networks and assets, Redstone uses a modular architecture with four modules—keeping three off-chain to minimize integration complexity. This design enables rapid deployment across new blockchains and virtual machines.Multi-Chain Pioneer* First oracle on many non-EVM networks including TON (Telegram), Starknet, and Fuel VM* Strategic expansion philosophy: "Go where people want us, not where we force ourselves"* 75% of company are engineers, maintaining 100% reliability with zero mispricing incidentsWhy Solana, Why NowPerfect Timing Convergence Redstone's Solana launch aligned with a critical market moment. Their partnership with Securitize to serve major tokenized funds (BlackRock BUIDL, VanEck, Apollo, etc.) coincided with Solana's emerging RWA momentum through protocols like Camino, Drift, and Jupiter.Foundation Support Meeting Lily (Solana Foundation director) at Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai catalyzed the expansion, providing technical resources and ecosystem connections for smooth integration.Real-World Assets ExplainedTwo Flagship Products* Tokenized Treasury Bills (T-Bills)* Low-risk, yield-bearing government securities* Principle should always appreciate (barring systemic USD issues)* Considered equivalent to cash in accounting (0-3 month bills)* Apollo's Diversified Credit Fund (Tokenized as ACRE)* Private credit outside traditional banking system* Example: Entrepreneur needs $10M for factory railway, banks reject due to complexity* Apollo intermediates: lenders provide capital at 8%, borrowers pay 12%, Apollo manages 4% spread* Involves real risk of default, but diversified across 100-1000 loansAccess Revolution* Traditional minimum: $5-10 million* Tokenized minimum: $50,000 (100x reduction in barrier to entry)* Global accessibility without complex traditional finance onboardingThe Technical Innovation: sACRESecurity vs. Utility Challenge ACRE is a security token, making it non-transferable and unsuitable for DeFi liquidations. Securitize created an elegant solution:* sACRE: Non-security wrapper around ACRE* Enables DeFi integration while maintaining regulatory compliance* Liquidators interact only with sACRE, never touching the underlying security* Vault system allows redemption back to USDC when neededDeFi Use Cases and Looping StrategiesThe Looping Mechanism* Deposit $1M worth of sACRE as collateral* Borrow $500K USDC (50% LTV for safety margin)* Buy more sACRE with borrowed USDC* Repeat process until hitting minimum investment thresholds* Amplify exposure while maintaining liquidation safetyRisk Considerations* Platform risk (Drift/Camino vulnerabilities)* Asset price risk (private credit can decline unlike T-Bills)* Liquidation risk if looped too aggressively* Need for proper risk management and position sizingInstitutional Adoption PathwayBaby Steps Philosophy Unlike crypto's "10x or bust" mentality, institutions take measured approaches:* Current: Basic tokenization and custody* Next: Simple lending and structured products* Future: On-chain hedge funds and complex derivativesBenefits Driving Adoption* Broader Access: Geographic and capital barriers removed* Secondary Liquidity: Instant swaps vs. 90-day redemption periods* DeFi Composability: Integration with lending, looping, structured products* Transparency: On-chain visibility vs. opaque traditional systemsMarket Lessons and Risk ManagementLearning from Terra/Anchor* Size caps prevent systemic overheating* Transparency requirements for risk assessment* Multiple audits and conservative approaches* Recognition that 20% yields were unsustainableCurrent Systemic Risks* Staking derivatives pose the largest potential systemic risk* Liquid staking tokens widely used as collateral across DeFi* Any major exploit could cascade across ecosystemFuture RoadmapImmediate Developments* Additional Solana-native stablecoin feeds* More yield-bearing asset integrations* Jupiter's "Drip/Plant" lending protocol (partnership with Ethereum's Fluid)Long-term Vision* Yield-bearing stablecoins as mass adoption driver* 4-6% yields as the "sweet spot" for user interest* Cross-chain collaborations and composability* Gradual expansion of on-chain institutional productsBuilder Ecosystem* Testing available at app.redstone.finance (Push → Solana)* Open communication channels via Telegram/Discord* Custom data feed development for specific use casesThe Bigger PictureAdoption Paradigm Shift Traditional crypto adoption focused on retail users buying NFTs and meme coins. RWA adoption brings institutional capital seeking familiar products with blockchain benefits—better access, liquidity, and composability.Global Financial Rails Redstone's vision extends beyond individual assets to creating seamless global financial infrastructure. Current traditional systems are siloed by country/region, requiring inefficient bridges. Blockchain technology enables truly global, instantaneous settlement.Competitive Collaboration The Jupiter-Fluid partnership exemplifies healthy ecosystem growth—established players collaborating rather than zero-sum competing, recognizing the early-stage nature of the overall market.

”For the first time in history - less than a decade ago - chronic diseases started killing us more than famine, pestilence, bacteria, viruses, all those things combined.” Yet, despite the suffering of millions, innovation is being strangled by a broken pharmaceutical system where red tape, corporate greed, and bureaucratic middlemen leave patients behind.But what if there's another way? My guest, biotech entrepreneur and humanitarian Lou Reese, believes there is. And he's not just dreaming. Lou is building it. In this conversation, Lou reveals a radical new model for drug development and delivery, one that bypasses Big Pharma, puts patients first, and could bring breakthrough treatments to market faster and at a fraction of the cost.Together, we unpack how Parkinson's patients, just like those with Alzheimer's, are being failed by a system that prioritizes profit over access. And we explore how a bold America First Pharma plan might change that forever.This is a call to action! Because if we don't fight for innovation now, we'll be trapped in the same failing system tomorrow. This is Some Future Day. And that future starts now.Episode Links: Lou on X: https://x.com/NotLouReeseOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

For EP33 of Chain Reactions, we sat down with Azeem Khan, longtime crypto operator and now co-founder of the privacy-first ZK blockchain Miden*,* to discuss what it takes to build a next-gen L1 in today's market.We trace Azeem's journey from Bitcoin blog posts and Kardashian cease-and-desists to running major BD at Gitcoin, closing partnerships with UNICEF, and now helping lead Miden, which just raised a $25M seed round co-led by a16z, 1kx, and Hack VC.We went deep on what it means to be a non-technical co-founder in a zero-knowledge protocol, why founder-led BD still beats most Web3 growth strategies, and how Miden's Pioneer Program is flipping the playbook by taking a venture studio approach to ecosystem building.Plus, we talk about astronauts as mascots, Taylor Swift as a blueprint for community, and why the best crypto brands borrow from culture, not crypto Twitter.If you're building an L1, supporting one, or just want to hear how thoughtful storytelling and asymmetric relationship capital can help turn a new chain into a category-defining ecosystem — this one's a must.Please enjoy, and as always, subscribe, drop a five-star review at https://bit.ly/chainreactions-spotify, or mint the episode at pods.media/myosinxyz!
