In this first episode of DEX in the City, hosts Jessi Brooks of Ribbit Capital, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos of StarkWare, and Vy Le of Veda dig into the questions that DeFi keeps forcing the industry to confront. They debate how projects should respond after exploits like the recent Balancer hack, what “programmable risk management” could look like in practice, and why the idea of “pure DeFi” might be more myth than model. They also cover the MIT Brothers trial (and what its mistrial revealed about the law's limits in crypto) and end with why the long-awaited crypto market structure bill still isn't close to the finish line.

The native token belonging to decentralized exchange Uniswap is soaring this week, outpacing major cryptocurrencies amid a slew of changes expected to boost revenue and shore up liquidity. Unveiled on Monday, the "UNIfication" proposal from Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundations aims to put the protocol's roughly $650 million in daily trading volume to work by activating protocol fees to fund a perpetual UNI token burn. ~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/coinbasePBNGuest: Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise Asset ManagementBitwise Crypto Funds ➜ https://bit.ly/BitwiseCrypto00:00 intro00:08 Sponsor: Coinbase00:35 Uniswap Fee Switch Proposal01:15 Matt Hougan Prediction Was Right02:02 Uniswap Dex Growth02:35 $UNI Proposal is EPIC!04:24 Catnip For TradFi Analysts05:19 Hayden Adams: Quarterly Earnings Are Dead06:00 Mega-Trend on Transparency06:51 Approved in 22 Days?07:10 Wrapped XRP on Uniswap07:52 Regulation Was Holding DeFi Tokens Back08:35 Solana ETF $BSOL Success09:45 XRP ETF Potential10:57 Uniswap ETF11:53 Tokenized Bitwise Private Funds13:23 How Much Will Be Unlocked14:34 CLARITY Act passing in 2025?15:40 Tom Lee Ethereum Prediction16:59 Fusaka Ethereum Upgrade19:10 $POLY Token vs Polymarket IPO20:32 outro#Crypto #Ethereum #Solana~Uniswap Becomes God-Tier Token!!!

I sat down with Toby Gilbert, co‑founder of Pact Swap, to dig into how he went from years in telecoms to building infrastructure for the Web3 era. We talk about the problems in decentralized exchanges, why cross‑chain and native Bitcoin support matter, and how Pact Swap is positioning itself to offer DEX functionality at central‑exchange price levels — without KYC and heavy overheads. If you've ever wondered how innovation in DEX infrastructure happens behind the scenes, this episode is for you.Key Learnings[00:01:00] Toby's entry into blockchain came via a deep infrastructure dev friend who highlighted the scaling pain‑points of incompatible chains.[00:02:00] Unlike many who start with Bitcoin or Ethereum apps, Toby started “far further upstream” building infrastructure.[00:03:00] Pact Swap is a cross‑chain DEX that supports native Bitcoin — tackling usability and cost issues with current solutions.[00:04:00] The architecture: Rather than locking hundreds of millions in validator collateral, Pact Swap uses per‑trade collateral and reactive smart‑contracts — making swaps ~95% cheaper than some competitors.[00:05:00] Their go‑to‑market is B2C + B2B (gaming companies, gateways, merchants) — enabling non‑crypto businesses to accept a variety of tokens and instantly swap to stable tokens without KYC overhead.[00:11:00] They're launching a governance & utility token: holders will access fee‑pools, burn tokens to unlock collateral — adding a “gamified” arbitrage model.[00:13:00] Misconception: “Are cross‑chain DEXs safe?” Toby explains how Pact Swap avoids bridges and uses a new architecture to keep it secure.[00:17:00] Big benchmark: Toby expects $0.5 billion/day of trade volume by end‑2026 — scaling to centralized‑exchange levels.[00:18:00] Advice for founders: Be ready to pivot, understand regulation, budget accordingly, and build team culture with open conversation.[00:21:00] On DeFi's next phase: User experience must evolve to bring in non‑crypto users and expand liquidity sources.[00:24:00] On raising: “Build product first, not just a pitch deck” — traction matters more than buzzwords.DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Connecthttps://pactswap.io/https://x.com/Pact_Swaphttps://x.com/TobyCoinwebhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-gilbert-64909855/ Be featured on this podcastBe a guest on the podcast or contact us - https://www.web3pod.xyz/

In this episode, Dex unpacks how early conditioning shapes what we see as “truth,” and how those truths quietly drive our adult stress, dissatisfaction, and burnout. You'll hear how our sense of being “not good enough” often began as a misguided attempt to stay loved and safe—and how that same belief now keeps us disconnected from joy and ease.Dex shares a personal story about a moment of beauty that felt strangely unsatisfying—and how that revealed a buried old belief still running the show. He explores how to unlearn those inherited “truths,” and why the road back to peace and performance begins with something very simple: unconditional self-approval.You'll Learn:Why there's no absolute truth—only perception.How early experiences form the foundation of “who we think we are.”The hidden link between self-judgment and burnout.Why self-love isn't indulgent—it's essential.A simple practice for feeling good enough right now.Quote from the Episode:“Not good enough was never the truth—about me, or about you.”Resources Mentioned:Joy on Demand by Chade-Meng TanIf You're Struggling:If you feel stuck in stress, isolation, or the quiet shame of not being enough—come talk to Dex. He'll teach you how to believe in your own goodness again. That's where everything changes.

Mert Mumtaz, CEO and co-founder of Helius, reveals why he's betting everything on privacy, Solana infrastructure, and long-term conviction plays like Zcash and Hyperliquid.While most crypto investors chase short-term gains, Mert operates on 3-5 year time horizons, building core infrastructure for Solana and defending privacy as crypto's most unsolved problem. From explaining how connectivity and reflexivity drive extreme price movements to sharing how a Slavic girlfriend changed his approach to capturing value, this conversation goes deep.THE SHIFT NEWSLETTER
This week on So What Now?, your favorite duo dive headfirst into the tech takeover… and wrap things up with a dose of relationship drama you won't see coming. We kick things off with the viral story of two Harvard students who built a braiding robot designed to save time and reduce hand strain. But the big question remains: Is technology helping our culture or hijacking it? The ladies unpack what innovation means when tradition is on the line. Then, things heat up when Amazon's plan to replace 500,000+ warehouse jobs with robots comes up. Carla's all in on progress ("Let's move forward already!"), while Dex worries about what automation means for working-class communities. Naturally, it turns into one of their classic So What Now? showdowns — equal parts smart debate and sisterly shade. Next, would you let a human-like robot move in? For just a $200 deposit, Neo the home robot could be your new roomie. Carla's ready to swipe her card and put Neo on babysitting duty, while Dex is already plotting her escape route. The back-and-forth is pure comedy gold. The episode closes with a gut-punch of a listener letter from a woman struggling with her partner. The advice was unanimous and unfiltered: "Girl, break up with him!" Hit play for laughs, debates, and maybe a few side-eyes at the robots trying to take over our lives — only on So What Now?

Dave breaks down Cap's three-sided marketplace connecting stablecoin users, market makers (operators), and risk takers.

This week, Dex spills all the details of her anti-aging skincare routine — and let's just say, it's not for anyone on a budget. If you thought that was crazy, wait till you hear her skincare goals inspired by Paris Hilton. From luxury serums to three-hour facials, Dex already has her regimen mapped out for when she hits that “Kim K money” era. Carla can't stop laughing (or calculating the price tag). Then, in the spirit of Halloween, we get into some real-life scary stories. We unpack the shocking case of Sakiyna Thompson, recently convicted of murdering her romantic rival, Kayla Hodgson, in a cross-state crime of passion. Carla, who shares her own cringe-worthy tales of confronting “the other woman” back in the day — and let's just say, it didn't go as planned. Finally, things take a futuristic (and spicy) turn as we react to OpenAI's bombshell announcement: starting December 2025, ChatGPT will allow erotic content for verified adult users. Sam Altman says it's all about user autonomy and responsible AI — but we aren't so sure. Will this new feature empower women or open a whole new can of digital drama?

Toby Gilbert is a Co-Founder at PACT Swap, a cross-chain DEX built on Coinweb. Pact Swap enables trading of native Bitcoin, TRON, and other assets across incompatible chains - without bridges, wrapped tokens, or external validators. Why you should listen PactSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Coinweb PACT framework that enables cross-chain swaps of digital assets without using traditional bridges or wrapped tokens. It's designed to let users trade native assets directly across multiple blockchains in a decentralized, non-custodial environment. The platform supports trading between major chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Litecoin, TRON, Dogecoin, and Polygon. Its system uses collateralized reactive smart contracts to coordinate trades across otherwise incompatible blockchains. This approach allows PactSwap to execute bridgeless cross-chain swaps efficiently, aiming for high capital efficiency and lower transaction fees than conventional cross-chain bridges. The goal of PactSwap is to combine the liquidity and trading depth of centralized exchanges with the transparency and security of decentralized finance. By removing the need for wrapped tokens and third-party bridges, PactSwap aims to reduce costs and risks for users, offering faster and more secure asset swaps with up to 95% lower fees compared to older cross-chain solutions.

We then tackle the Tempo bombshell — a ~$500M raise at a ~$5B pre, Stripe/Paradigm ties, Dankrad's move from the EF — alongside Péter Szilágyi's letter on EF culture and compensation: public goods priesthood vs. market incentives. Next up: Mert's “USD Manlet” rethink (why coordinating Solana around one stable is hard, and why pushing USDT to compete with USDC may be the sharper play) plus a gripe-fueled tour of today's DeFi trading UX. Finally, an AWS-outage autopsy: Coinbase downtime, Base sequencer hiccups, Infura/MetaMask ripple effects, and the case for multi-region/multi-cloud redundancy when real money — and sometimes safety — are on the line. And no, despite the memes, Mert is not launching a DEX.

a16z crypto's CTO Eddy Lazzarin and partner Daren Matsuoka return for our annual State of Crypto to map where 2025 really is on the curve: a price–innovation cycle poised to hand the baton back to builders, Bitcoin holding ~50% share, and 70M people now using crypto on-chain out of 716M owners. We dig into why institutions are actually shipping (not just PR), how stablecoins now rival Visa-scale volumes and sit among top U.S. Treasury holders, why DEX spot share near 20% changes price discovery, and how perps, infra throughput, and fee-switch economics are reshaping revenue across chains. Plus: prediction markets' second act, the AI×crypto handshake (agents, proof-of-humanity, IP), and Bitcoin's long-dated quantum dilemma. ---

In this week's episode of So What Now?, we dive into parenting highs, lows, and the unexpected in-betweens. Dex kicks things off by sharing her experience at a frat party with Mikaela – the drinks, the vibes, the "what am I doing here?" moments. Meanwhile, Carla continues her fight with the public school system to get the proper support Psalm needs — it's real, it's frustrating, and she doesn't hold back. The convo then takes a sharp (and fuzzy?) turn to Kim Kardashian's latest business move: faux-fur thong panties. Yes, you read that right. They're sold out, and we're asking: What is going on out here?! Wild or genius? Maybe both. We also unpack Kim's recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she gets vulnerable about co-parenting with Kanye and reflects on choosing a partner who didn't live up to the legacy her own father left. This hit Carla hard, she opens up about the deep guilt she's carrying around the choices she made in her own relationships — especially when it comes to her kids' fathers. It's raw, real, and a reminder that healing isn't linear. The episode closes with a reflective but practical list: 13 decisions to make by 45 so you don't have regrets at 70. From finances to friendships to finally putting yourself first, we break them down and share where we're at on the list. Tune in, laugh, cry, and say “So what now?” with us.

Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix and Infinex, is returning to Ethereum Layer 1 with a bold new experiment: a perpetuals DEX built directly on mainnet. In this episode, he joins Laura to explain why Synthetix is taking this contrarian step, how its hybrid “optimistic order book” can run efficiently on Ethereum's slower block times, and why he believes the future of trading will move fully on-chain. Warwick also discusses the tradeoffs behind using USDT, what it will take to match centralized exchange performance, and his “super app” vision for how DeFi platforms could finally outcompete CEXs.
