En este especial de Rejugando nos metemos de lleno con una de esas obras que, para mí, están en la historia más grande del videojuego: Shadow of the Colossus. Y lo hacemos dentro de nuestro recorrido por la obra de Fumito Ueda, después de haber hablado de ICO, para analizar no solo el juego que todos conocemos, sino también todo lo que hubo detrás: su desarrollo, sus ideas descartadas, los colosos que nunca llegaron, la tecnología que llevó a PlayStation 2 al límite y las decisiones creativas que hicieron que este juego siga siendo tan especial tantos años después. Empezamos hablando de nuestras propias experiencias con el juego y de esa sensación tan difícil de explicar que produce la primera vez que llegas a las Tierras Prohibidas. No hay tutoriales interminables, no hay un mundo lleno de personajes diciéndote qué hacer y no hay una gran interfaz explicándote cada paso. Estás tú, Agro, una espada, un arco y un territorio gigantesco que parece esconder algo. Y entonces aparece el primer coloso. A partir de ahí hablamos de cómo Shadow of the Colossus consigue convertir cada enfrentamiento en algo completamente distinto. Cada coloso es prácticamente un nivel entero, un puzle y un jefe final al mismo tiempo. No se trata simplemente de golpear a un enemigo enorme, sino de observarlo, entender su comportamiento y descubrir cómo puedes subirte a él. La progresión jugable es una auténtica barbaridad. El juego no necesita explicarte constantemente las mecánicas porque cada coloso te enseña algo nuevo. Aprendes a agarrarte, a gestionar la resistencia, a utilizar el arco, a aprovechar el escenario y a interpretar el comportamiento de cada criatura. Y todo eso lo hace sin convertir a Wander en un superhéroe. De hecho, una de las cosas que más comentamos es precisamente la vulnerabilidad del protagonista. Wander es pequeño, torpe y parece completamente insignificante al lado de los colosos. Y eso es fundamental para que cada combate tenga esa sensación de escala y de aventura épica. Pero también para que empieces a hacerte preguntas. Porque a medida que avanzamos, cada vez resulta más difícil pensar que estamos haciendo lo correcto. Los colosos no parecen simples monstruos. Algunos son tranquilos, otros parecen incluso ignorarnos hasta que nosotros les atacamos. Y después de cada victoria no tenemos una fanfarria de triunfo, sino una música triste y melancólica. La propia evolución de Wander nos va dando pistas. Cada vez está más deteriorado, más oscuro, más alejado del personaje con el que empezamos. Y llega un momento en el que la pregunta es inevitable: ¿quién es realmente el malo de esta historia? También repasamos el desarrollo del juego y la enorme cantidad de ideas que se barajaron. Uno de los conceptos más sorprendentes fue la posibilidad de hacer un Shadow of the Colossus multijugador, con varios personajes colaborando para derrotar a las criaturas. Una idea que terminó descartándose, pero que demuestra que el proyecto fue cambiando muchísimo durante su desarrollo. Y después llegamos a uno de los temas más fascinantes: los colosos descartados. El juego llegó a plantearse originalmente con 48 colosos. Después fueron 36, luego 24 y finalmente se quedaron en los 16 que conocemos. Y por el camino quedaron diseños, ideas, escenarios y criaturas que durante años alimentaron la imaginación de los fans. Hablamos de algunos de ellos, de sus nombres internos, de sus posibles mecánicas y de cómo algunos llegaron a aparecer en imágenes, vídeos o materiales previos al lanzamiento. Hay diseños que son absolutamente increíbles y que hacen que te preguntes cómo habría sido el juego si se hubiera mantenido todo ese contenido. Aunque, siendo sinceros, con 48 colosos probablemente el juego habría sido una experiencia completamente distinta. Otro de los aspectos que más me gustan del desarrollo es la manera en la que trabajó el equipo. El diseño de los colosos no parece haber sido un proceso completamente jerarquizado y cerrado. Gente de escenarios, animación, combate y otras áreas aportaba ideas para las criaturas. Era casi un enorme brainstorming colectivo. Y creo que eso se nota muchísimo en el resultado final, porque cada coloso tiene una personalidad, un comportamiento y una forma de enfrentarse completamente diferente. También hablamos de la tecnología. Porque lo que hizo el Team ICO con PlayStation 2 es absolutamente demencial. Las criaturas, el tamaño de los escenarios, las animaciones, la física, el pelo, las colisiones y la forma en la que Wander se agarra a los cuerpos de los colosos hicieron que el hardware sufriera de lo lindo. El equipo utilizó técnicas muy avanzadas para conseguir que las criaturas parecieran realmente orgánicas y vivas. Y, sobre todo, para que no fueran simplemente enemigos gigantes, sino seres que parecieran formar parte de su propio ecosistema. También nos detenemos en el diseño de las Tierras Prohibidas, en la importancia del vacío, de la soledad y de los silencios. Porque en Shadow of the Colossus el silencio es casi tan importante como la música. Y hablando de música, la banda sonora de Kow Otani merece un capítulo propio. La mezcla de épica, orquesta, melancolía y silencio es absolutamente perfecta. Y comentamos también la historia de la música que suena después de derrotar a los colosos: una pieza que, según se cuenta, sorprendió inicialmente al propio equipo porque no era la típica fanfarria de victoria. Pero precisamente por eso funciona tan bien. Has ganado. Pero no tienes claro que debas estar celebrándolo. También repasamos el impacto comercial y crítico del juego. Después del éxito de crítica, pero las ventas más modestas de ICO, Shadow of the Colossus consiguió llegar a mucha más gente y vender aproximadamente 1,1 millones de copias, multiplicando enormemente el alcance de su predecesor. Y, curiosamente, también hizo que mucha gente descubriera posteriormente ICO. Hablamos de las versiones posteriores, los modos de dificultad, los desafíos, los objetos desbloqueables, los secretos, las teorías de los fans y los detalles que han hecho que la comunidad siga investigando el juego durante años. Incluso comentamos un final descartado en el que Wander y Mono podrían haber sobrevivido juntos en las Tierras Prohibidas. Y, por supuesto, terminamos reivindicando lo que para mí es una evidencia: Shadow of the Colossus es una de las grandes obras maestras de la historia del videojuego. Un juego que no necesita llenar cada rincón de contenido para hacerte sentir que estás explorando un mundo gigantesco. Un juego que convierte a sus jefes en niveles completos. Un juego que te hace sentir pequeño, vulnerable y, en ocasiones, directamente culpable. Y una obra que, tantos años después, sigue teniendo algo que muchos juegos modernos no consiguen: una identidad absolutamente propia. En este especial hablamos de Fumito Ueda, Team ICO, el desarrollo de Shadow of the Colossus, los 48 colosos originales, los diseños descartados, el multijugador cancelado, la tecnología de PS2, Wander, Mono, Agro, las Tierras Prohibidas, la banda sonora de Kow Otani, la evolución de la jugabilidad, los secretos, el impacto comercial y el legado de una de las mayores obras maestras del videojuego.

Escándalo V16: El documento oficial que demuestra que la DGT ignoró a Industria por imponer la baliza conectada Una exclusiva de OK Diario destapa un informe de 2019 en el que el Ministerio de Industria advertía a Tráfico de que la baliza con batería «pone en peligro la seguridad vial». En paralelo, el principal fabricante entra en preconcurso de acreedores tras recibir 2,2 millones de euros en ayudas públicas. La polémica en torno a la baliza de preseñalización luminosa $V16$ ha dado un vuelco definitivo. Tras cinco meses desde que se decretara su obligatoriedad en las carreteras españolas en este año 2026, la resistencia de los ciudadanos a adquirirla —con una tasa de adopción de apenas el 17% de los vehículos— ya no parece un simple capricho de los conductores. Una investigación liderada por la periodista Andrea Guado, jefa de motor de OK Diario, ha sacado a la luz un informe oficial y confidencial del año 2019 emitido por el Ministerio de Industria. En él, los técnicos del Estado advertían formalmente a la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), dirigida por Pere Navarro, de que el dispositivo que pretendían imponer presentaba graves deficiencias técnicas y, literalmente, «ponía en peligro la seguridad vial». 1. El argumento técnico de Industria: el riesgo de las baterías El informe destapado por OK Diario incide directamente en la incapacidad física de las balizas autónomas para garantizar su correcto funcionamiento en caso de emergencia. El documento técnico al que se ha tenido acceso expone textualmente la contradicción entre la ocurrencia de la $V16$ y la homologación europea vigente: «A modo de referencia, el reglamento ONU R65 establece que las señales de emergencia en vehículos de obligado cumplimiento para las señales V1 y V2 deben disponer de una fuente de luz conectada a la fuente de alimentación del vehículo, puesto que la utilización de otras fuentes de alimentación no garantiza que la señal esté operativa cuando se necesite y con la intensidad requerida». Para el Ministerio de Industria, fiar la última línea de defensa de un conductor atrapado en mitad de la calzada a un dispositivo alimentado por pilas o pequeñas baterías independientes es un error de bulto. El calor del habitáculo en verano, el frío extremo en invierno o el simple paso del tiempo degradan las baterías, impidiendo garantizar que la baliza emita la luz con la potencia luminosa mínima exigida por la normativa europea $R65$ en el instante de sufrir un siniestro. Sin embargo, Tráfico ignoró esta advertencia de su propio Gobierno y continuó adelante con el plan de implantación mediante un Real Decreto en el Consejo de Ministros, sorteando un trámite parlamentario convencional. 2. El preconcurso de Netun Solutions: ¿quiebra real o presión lobista? La exclusiva periodística coincide en el tiempo con otra noticia de enorme impacto financiero y empresarial para el sector: la entrada en preconcurso de acreedores de Netun Solutions, la empresa gallega fundada por los ex guardias civiles inventores de la baliza conectada (Help Flash). La compañía justifica esta situación legal por las bajísimas ventas acumuladas en los últimos meses debido a la desconfianza del consumidor. Sin embargo, el análisis técnico de José Lagunar en Auto FM ofrece una lectura sustancialmente diferente: • Inyección de dinero público: Netun Solutions recibió en su día un total de 2,2 millones de euros en ayudas por parte del Estado, en gran parte articuladas mediante créditos ICO y subvenciones de fondos europeos. • La estrategia concursal: Con la actual ley concursal española, una sociedad puede acogerse al preconcurso de acreedores con una antelación de hasta 2 años antes de prever que no podrá hacer frente a sus deudas. • Herramienta de presión: Lagunar sostiene que, dado el perfil de los accionistas actuales de la marca, el preconcurso parece responder más a una maniobra de presión de un lobby acorralado que a un riesgo real de quiebra técnica. 3. Dinero público al rescate de intereses privados El éxito de la maniobra de presión ya ha tenido respuesta por parte de la administración pública. El director general de Tráfico, Pere Navarro, ha anunciado de forma oficial el lanzamiento de una campaña publicitaria masiva este verano para obligar al uso de la V16. Esta decisión reabre un debate ético de hondo calado. Desde el sector del automóvil se denuncia la flagrante contradicción de que la DGT —un organismo que carece de poder legislativo propio— utilice los impuestos de todos los ciudadanos para financiar campañas de marketing destinadas a forzar la compra de un producto que fabrica de manera exclusiva un reducido grupo de empresas privadas. Mientras las marcas de automoción asumen costosas e impecables auditorías de calidad para homologar sus componentes, la seguridad vial en carretera se ha convertido en un modelo de negocio donde, si las estimaciones privadas de ventas fallan, el Estado acude al rescate publicitario. 4. El próximo negocio en el horizonte: el "cono conectado" La baliza V16 podría ser solo la punta del iceberg. Según ha adelantado Andrea Guado en OK Diario, la DGT ya estudia e impulsa el desarrollo de un nuevo dispositivo electrónico: el "cono conectado". Este aparato, que obligará a realizar nuevos desembolsos masivos a las empresas de mantenimiento de carreteras, grúas de asistencia y administraciones locales de toda España, vuelve a poner bajo la lupa la transparencia del organismo regulador. La seguridad vial española corre el riesgo de involucionar, sustituyendo el mantenimiento predictivo de nuestras deterioradas infraestructuras por la imposición sistemática de accesorios de conectividad que enriquecen a unos pocos mientras el asfalto sigue agrietándose.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Psychonauts. We dive into (ha) the lungfish levels and the Milkman Conspiracy and talk about the tension between systems and individually scripted experiences, before turning to user questions. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Milkman Issues covered: a special announcement, turkeys everywhere, long digression into weird Spelunky, setting up the Lungfish, hunting down all the collectibles, an underwater bubble and moving around, consistency in levels, coming in with different player options, involving the empathy of the player, the limits of other genres in engaging empathy mechanically, the difficulty of reading the environment, the unfortunate PS4 port from the PS2, avoiding oysters, a direct lineage of creativity, becoming Godzilla, reuse of abilities when you return, every level being a genre, leading the way creatively, parallel to indie film, re-entering the levels and the tongue-in-cheek, going every direction and the costs, relearning rules each level, the cost of testing boundaries due to other mechanics, jumping between gravity spaces, describing the Milkman level, conspiracy mad-libs, being in an environment where you will fail again and again, memorable levels here and elsewhere, zingers of stingers, lines in movies vs lines in games, reinforcing them, a typical day in the life for a game designer, iterating to solve problems, getting people on board and carrying vision, people who show what's going on with the project, building consensus.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Serious Privacy podcast, where Ralph O'Brien , Dr. K Royal, and Paul Breitbarth explores the implications of proposed social media age restrictions in the UK to under 16s, through the insights of university student (and our editor!) Fey O'Brien, emphasising the importance of digital literacy and open communications.As the debate surrounding social media age restrictions continues, it is vital to consider the implications for minors and their rights. Engaging with younger voices like Fey's adds depth to the discussion, illustrating the importance of balancing safety and freedom in the digital landscape. Instead of imposing blanket bans, fostering digital literacy and open communication can pave the way for a more informed generation of social media users.

Ilies Larbi is the founder and CEO of Ouinex, a multi-asset trading platform built to fuse crypto and traditional markets in a single account while shielding retail traders from the structural disadvantages of conventional order books. A nearly fifteen-year veteran of New York-based forex broker FXCM, where he climbed from sales associate to Managing Director for Europe and a seat on the executive committee, the Paris-based Larbi stepped into crypto in 2022 — late by bull-run standards, as he admits, but with a clear view of the gap he wanted to fill. Why you should listen Larbi's central argument lands with a memorable image: most crypto exchanges drop retail traders into a tank full of sharks. His culprit is the central limit order book, which works beautifully in regulated venues like the NYSE where institutions compete against each other, but breaks down in crypto, where a trader tapping orders from their phone over café Wi-Fi sits on the same book as a high-frequency desk running millions in low-latency infrastructure around the clock. That asymmetry, he argues, is why retail traders so often see stop losses picked off and price action that feels suspiciously erratic. Ouinex's answer is a no-CLOB execution model: institutions are still welcome to provide liquidity, but they're allowed only to make markets, never to take them, and they get zero visibility into where retail orders are resting since those sit on Ouinex's own servers. The result is a kind of Chinese wall, with liquidity providers forced to compete purely on the best bid and ask while an aggregator passes only the sharpest prices through to traders. Ouinex lets users trade spot crypto and perpetuals alongside forex, gold, indices and equities, using their crypto as collateral rather than cashing out to fiat — and crucially, it routes the TradFi side through hundred-year-old market infrastructure rather than rebuilding it as a thin perpetual. Larbi makes the case with hard numbers, contrasting a euro-dollar or gold trade on Ouinex against the same instrument as a perp on a venue like Hyperliquid, where he claims spreads run several times wider, commissions stack on top, and the order book is far shallower. He also points to early evidence that the multi-asset thesis is working: as geopolitics roiled markets, his traders moved record volume into oil and gold while waiting for crypto to get interesting again, exactly the cross-market hedge the platform was designed to enable. Larbi raised nine million dollars entirely from his own trading community — much of it the French-speaking InteractivTrading community — with no venture capital on the cap table, which he argues leaves the platform answerable to its users rather than to investors holding a bag of future tokens. That native token, OUIX, is heading to an ICO via the company's launchpad, pitched as a low-sell-pressure utility play with fee discounts and trading cashback. He's candid that the product is still maturing, urging listeners to test it on a demo account with virtual funds and lean on Ouinex's human (not chatbot) support. The closing hot-take round rounds him out nicely: a self-described multi-chain pragmatist with unshakeable conviction in blockchain's staying power, convinced AI agents will reshape how — and whether — we trade at all, and unashamedly nostalgic for the original Avatar.

Robson Silva Junior is Co-Founder of Pods.He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss how DeFi's mixed retail adoption led Pods to build modular yield infrastructure for Latin America's neobanks.Recorded live at the Token Nation event in São Paulo, the conversation traces Silva's path from naval engineering to early AMM research during Singapore's ICO era.Silva explains why Pods abandoned its B2C options protocol once it became clear retail users weren't going to interact with MetaMask directly.He also discusses Pods' work building a zero-knowledge privacy pilot for Brazil's central bank digital currency, and why programmable privacy for composable DeFi remains unsolved.The episode closes on how neobanks now use Pods' API to offer insured, cross-chain yield without building that infrastructure in-house.You can connect with Rob on Linkedin
La Ventana Metropolitana.El avance del proyecto sectorial PS1 en Vigo prevé presentar su urbanización a finales de año para iniciar las obras en el primer semestre de 2027, un plan apoyado por la Xunta de Galicia que incluirá un vial principal y un aparcamiento subterráneo. Mientras tanto, el sector sanitario vigués afronta tensiones por una nueva jornada de huelga médica y el anuncio de paros indefinidos en septiembre para exigir un Estatuto Marco, sumado a una concentración ciudadana contra las listas de espera. En el ámbito educativo, la comunidad del IES República Oriental del Uruguay en Teis se ha manifestado en contra de la implantación imprevista de un ciclo de Formación Profesional básica en electricidad. Por su parte, el alcalde de Vigo ha reclamado mayor inversión financiera a la Xunta, criticando el agravio comparativo en las ayudas al transporte aéreo frente a otras ciudades.

In the third episode of Tech Shock's 12th season, Vicki is joined by Katie Searle, Director - Children's Strategy at the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The ICO is the UK's independent regulator for data protection and information rights and their new Switched On to Privacy campaign is designed to help parents start regular, practical conversations about online privacy.Online privacy is one of the most important but least understood issues in children's digital lives. Children are building a detailed digital profile from as young as four, often sharing data they, and their parents, don't fully understand. This episode explores what that data trail looks like, where the risks lie, and what families can actually do about it.Talking points:What is online privacy, why does it matter for children, and what kinds of data are children sharing that parents might not realise?What are the specific risks - from location tracking to in-game chats - and what should parents know about sharenting and edtech data?What is the ICO's Switched On to Privacy campaign, and what are the three practical steps that parents can take today?https://ico.org.uk/switched-on-to-privacy/ Tech Shock is a Parent Zone production.

In this sponsored episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis welcome back Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO Network, a project first featured on the show back in the ICO days of 2018. Unlike many projects from that era, XYO is still building. The conversation centers on a huge problem in both crypto and AI: digital systems are often blind to the real world. Smart contracts, AI agents, apps, and autonomous systems can process data, but they do not automatically know whether that data is true, where it came from, or whether someone tampered with it. That is where XYO comes in. Markus explains how XYO has evolved from a proof-of-location network into what the team describes as a truth layer for real-world data. Using devices, mobile phones, sensors, NFC tags, cryptographic proofs, and its own data-focused Layer 1 blockchain, XYO is working to verify events, actions, assets, and real-world information so AI systems and blockchain applications can operate with greater certainty. Joel, Travis, and Markus also dig into the COIN app, which allows users to earn rewards for contributing real-world data, and the broader XYO ecosystem, including the XYO token, XL1 token, proof of origin, zero-knowledge privacy protections, and the newly announced AI infrastructure verification partnership with Setter Labs. The big idea: as AI becomes more powerful, the question may not be whether a model can generate an answer. The question is whether it can prove where that answer came from. Topics Covered Why AI agents and smart contracts are still “blind” to the physical world How XYO began as a proof-of-location project in 2018 Why GPS and location data can be spoofed The role of blockchain in verifying real-world events What “proof of origin” means and why it matters How XYO collects and verifies real-world data Why bad data may be one of AI’s biggest problems How verified data could reduce AI hallucinations The COIN app and how users can earn rewards for data collection XYO’s Layer 1 blockchain and the XL1 token The difference between XYO, XL1, COIN, and other ecosystem assets How zero-knowledge proofs help preserve privacy Why decentralized physical infrastructure networks may become increasingly important How XYO is moving into AI infrastructure and AI agent verification The new XYO AI SDK and what developers can build with it Why long-term survival matters in crypto Joel’s reminder that sponsored projects must still pass Bad Crypto vetting Featured Guest Markus LevinCo-founder of XYO Network Links Mentioned XYO Network: https://xyo.networkCOIN App: https://coinapp.coBuild with XYO: https://xyo.network/buildPartnership inquiries: partnerships@xyo.network Disclosure This is a sponsored episode of The Bad Crypto Podcast.

Demetrick, Dr. Corey Petty, and Jesse are joined by founder and investor Joe for a conversation that cuts through sixteen years of crypto noise with one provocative thesis: crypto is only about trading.Joe walks the guys through all five hype cycles, from Silk Road to Mt. Gox to the 2017 ICO mania to NFTs to today, and shows how the top of every cycle has been defined by a single dominant trading narrative. Everything else, he argues, is undercurrent. The conversation traces how he arrived at this conclusion after the chaos of ETHDenver 2023 sent him back to first principles, including the poker code buried in the original Bitcoin commit.From there the guys get into where the next hype cycle is forming. Joe demos a tap trading app he is building that strips away every chart, button, and knob until trading feels closer to a mobile game than a Bloomberg terminal. Green for good, red for bad, prediction markets baked in. The crew riffs on PVP tournaments, head to head trading streams on Twitch and Kick, and why apps optimized for volatility win when traditional markets get quiet.Plus: Anatoly's legendary bag working of Hyperliquid on Solana, why a normal person will never love a candlestick chart, and Corey announces he is winding down Archivist and open sourcing the IP.Drop questions in the YouTube comments. Join the Discord. The Pope conversation got pushed to next week.

The charitable soft opt-in ICO guidance has just landed. For many charities, this is the biggest shift in supporter communications rules in years. And our inbox and membership chat are already full of questions: Does event attendance count as expressing interest? What about volunteering, buying a raffle ticket, or clicking a link? Can we now contact people we previously couldn't? And just as importantly…Where are the grey areas charities need to tread carefully? To help the sector unpack all of this quickly, we're hosting a session with Mark Burnett from Hope & May. Get access to the full webinar & 30 minute Q&A.

En Capital Intereconomía, el espacio Empresas con Identidad pone el foco en el hidrógeno renovable y en el desarrollo de infraestructuras para movilidad sostenible junto a Santiago Ramas López, director general de HVR Energy. La compañía acaba de cerrar una financiación de 12,75 millones de euros con el ICO para acelerar el despliegue de 30 nuevas hidrolineras dentro de su proyecto ACTIVA, consolidando uno de los planes de infraestructura de hidrógeno más ambiciosos de Europa. Durante la entrevista, Ramas analiza el respaldo financiero e institucional recibido, el papel de las ayudas europeas y el objetivo de alcanzar 75 hidrolineras operativas en España antes de 2030. También explica el modelo de instalación de estaciones de repostaje en gasolineras existentes mediante un sistema “todo incluido” y analiza las ventajas del hidrógeno renovable para el transporte pesado y de largo recorrido, así como los retos regulatorios y financieros pendientes para impulsar definitivamente esta tecnología en Europa. En Digital Business, Paco González, CEO de Core Tech Capital, analiza la actualidad de OpenAI, el lanzamiento de nuevos modelos, el conflicto con Apple y las enormes inversiones en capacidad de computación e inteligencia artificial. Además, Tomás Golding, Head of Financial Services & Capital Markets de VASS, aborda los retos de transformación digital de la banca, el impacto de la inteligencia artificial y cómo evolucionará el sector financiero hacia modelos más simplificados y automatizados.

My guest today is John Gu, founder and CEO of Caladan, one of the most active market makers in crypto and a firm that has provided liquidity to more than 200 token launches. John's path runs through MIT, AlphaSimplex, Citadel's principal strategies group, and Tower Research before landing in Singapore at the dawn of the ICO era — where what started as a trade on the kimchi premium became the foundation for one of the most active liquidity providers in digital assets.The thesis of our conversation is what I'll call the cold start problem. In traditional markets, every newly listed stock arrives with scaffolding already in place — a designated market maker, a reference price, a universe of comparables, and decades of regulatory infrastructure. Crypto inverts that. A new token can launch with no orderbook, no comparables, and no clear demand curve. Someone has to quote a two-sided market into that void, and how they do it shapes whether the asset becomes a real, tradable thing — or a graveyard of wide spreads and stranded liquidity.John and I dig into how you bootstrap liquidity from zero, how the quoting playbook evolves as a market matures, the economics of token market making contracts, and how that same infrastructure now bridges into structured products and treasury solutions for token foundations.Please enjoy my conversation with John Gu.

En este primer episodio del especial de Rejugando dedicado a ICO y a la figura de Fumito Ueda, el equipo formado por RaffaValencia, Adrián Plaza y Lidia Muñoz inicia un viaje profundo hacia uno de los desarrollos más influyentes y singulares de la historia del videojuego. La importancia de ICO dentro de la industria: un título lanzado en 2001 para PlayStation 2 que rompió con las normas establecidas apostando por una experiencia minimalista, emocional y profundamente artística. Desde el primer momento se establece la idea central: ICO no es solo un videojuego, sino una obra que redefinió la forma de entender la narrativa interactiva. Uno de los grandes ejes del episodio es el análisis de la figura de Ueda y su filosofía creativa. Se profundiza en su obsesión por crear algo completamente diferente, alejándose de los estándares de la época. Su concepto de “diseño por sustracción” —eliminar todo lo innecesario para quedarse con lo esencial— se presenta como la base del ADN de ICO: sin interfaz, sin HUD, sin sobreexplicaciones, y con una narrativa basada en gestos, especialmente el icónico acto de dar la mano. El programa repasa en detalle los orígenes del creativo japonés: su infancia en Japón, sus influencias culturales como el anime, el manga y obras como Nausicaä, así como videojuegos clave como Prince of Persia, Another World o incluso Lemmings, que marcaron su sensibilidad hacia la animación y la interacción. También se aborda su etapa previa a Sony, pasando por trabajos en el estudio WARP y su participación en títulos como D o Enemy Zero, donde comenzó a formarse dentro del sector. Sin embargo, su salto definitivo llega cuando presenta un prototipo de ICO a Sony, impresionando a figuras clave como Shuhei Yoshida, lo que desemboca en la creación del llamado Team ICO. El proceso de desarrollo: desde sus inicios en PlayStation hasta el salto a PS2, que obligó a rehacer el proyecto. Este cambio, lejos de ser un problema, permitió a Ueda redefinir el juego, eliminar mecánicas tradicionales (combate complejo, inventarios, misiones secundarias) y centrarse en una experiencia pura basada en exploración, puzles y vínculo emocional. Decisiones fundamentales como: La ausencia de cinemáticas CGI, apostando por escenas en tiempo real El uso del entorno como narrativa La creación de un equipo con desarrolladores poco experimentados para evitar “vicios” del medio La importancia del contacto físico como mecánica central La parte más personal es donde los compartimos cómo descubrimos ICO, desde primeras impresiones confusas hasta redescubrimientos años después, destacando cómo el juego gana valor con el tiempo y la madurez del jugador. En definitiva, este primer programa sienta las bases de la trilogía especial: un recorrido por la mente de un creador único y el nacimiento de una obra que cambió para siempre la percepción del videojuego como arte.
Data protection in the United Kingdom is entering a new phase of post‑Brexit divergence, introducing targeted but impactful changes across regulatory governance, enforcement, and day‑to‑day compliance. In this episode of The Data Chronicles, we examine how the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 is reshaping UK data protection through reforms to the ICO's structure, new approaches to cookies, automated decision‑making, international data transfers, and lawful bases for processing. The discussion explores how increased flexibility in the United Kingdom is paired with heightened enforcement risk, why operating across United Kingdom and European Union regimes is becoming more complex for global organizations, and how data protection is increasingly being reframed as both a legal compliance and economic policy tool – demanding closer coordination between legal, product, and operational teams.
In Episode 313 of The Block Runner Podcast, William and I-man break down the latest stress test for crypto launch platforms: Believe's rapid rise, the Printer token ICO backlash, the $2M refund, and what the failed attempts to disrupt Pump.Fun reveal about launching in a permissionless market. The conversation centers on how quickly community momentum can reverse when a platform moves too fast into tokenization, why founders face extreme psychological pressure once market attention arrives, and why examples like Believe, Heaven, Bonk-adjacent launch efforts, and Printer matter directly to the NAT.fun launch thesis. Key topics: Believe's position in the launch ecosystem and how quickly market attention can concentrate around a new platform The Printer ICO, Coinbase/Sonar rails, and why selling a token too early can reverse community sentiment The mental-health pressure founders face when crypto Twitter turns from attention into personal attack The $2M refund and what it says about trust, timing, and execution in token launches Why attempts to disrupt Pump.Fun keep failing, from Believe to Heaven to Printer How these failures become direct lessons for NAT.fun as it prepares to enter the launch-platform arena Please like and subscribe on your favorite podcasting app!

Hub & Spoken: Data | Analytics | Chief Data Officer | CDO | Strategy
What does it take to build a modern data and AI capability inside the organisation responsible for protecting information rights across the UK? In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO and Founder of Cynozure, speaks with Rob Holtom, Executive Director for Digital, Data, Technology and Customer Experience at the ICO, the UK's independent regulator for information rights. Together, they explore what it means to lead data and AI adoption from inside a regulator: balancing innovation with public trust, building capability without losing sight of value, and creating space for experimentation while staying grounded in responsibility. Rob shares how the ICO has approached capability building by starting with people, developing strategic as well as operational skills, and using data and AI to improve scale, efficiency and decision-making. The conversation also looks at why generative AI matters for regulators, where it can unlock value, and why data teams need to stay closely involved rather than treating it as someone else's problem. This is a practical conversation about leadership, policy, experimentation and the reality of using data well in complex organisations.
Raees Chowdhury is the co-founder and chief investment officer of Tok-Edge, a London-based regulated DeFi hedge fund built around a novel cryptoasset structure called the Redemption Token. With a career spanning senior roles at BCG and Bain Capital, a managing partner position at Revolt Ventures — a fund sitting beneath a $10 billion AUM vehicle — and deep roots in on-chain markets dating back to the ICO era of 2016–17, Raees brings rare dual fluency in institutional finance and DeFi to one of crypto's most ambitious new fund structures. Why you should listen Tok-Edge emerged from stealth on the day of this recording, and the timing is deliberate. Raees argues that the current drawdown — with Bitcoin sitting roughly 50% off all-time highs and many altcoins down 90% or more — is precisely the moment to be allocating capital to DeFi. The fund is built on a contrarian but rigorous thesis: that crypto is a genuinely new liquid asset class, that existing token models are structurally flawed, and that the teams best positioned to capture the next cycle are those who can hold TradFi infrastructure and DeFi-native thinking in the same hand. The centrepiece of what Tok-Edge is building is the Redemption Token — a new category of cryptoasset designed to solve what Raees calls the duality problem that has undermined most token models to date. Unlike governance tokens, which trend towards zero, or utility tokens, which are constrained to their native blockchain, the Redemption Token is permissionless and composable in DeFi while carrying a genuine defined function: the ability for fund investors to redeem underlying fund shares at net asset value. The model Raees reaches for by analogy is MicroStrategy — a structure designed first, then deployed as a product. Tok-Edge is doing the same, with the Redemption Token as the architecture and the Tok-Edge Fund as its first application. The fund itself is built to institutional standard — custodians, regulated directors, and governance structures you'd expect from any tier-one equities vehicle — but applied entirely to crypto and DeFi strategies. Raees walks through the team's approach to on-chain yield generation, active capital allocation between strategies, and why sitting in stablecoins and earning on-chain yield is a feature rather than a concession. He also shares his conviction that DeFi yields are far from dead, why on-chain flows will identify the winners of the next cycle before most people see them coming, and how the Berkshire Hathaway model — long-only, actively managed, comfortable holding cash — translates surprisingly well to liquid crypto asset management. With a TGE capped at $21 million targeting a $100 million first close later in 2026, this is a conversation worth hearing early.

I sit down with Omar, co-founder of Noya.ai, to explore how his team is building at the intersection of AI and DeFi. We talk about how Noya evolved from an omni-chain yield aggregator into a full-stack agentic platform, combining a data layer, analytics engine, and execution rails all in one MCP. Omar shares how they hit 1,000 downloads in just two days with zero paid marketing, why he believes interfaces are dead and agents are the future, and how proprietary data is the key moat for any Web3 startup in the age of AI. We also get into prediction market vaults, delta-neutral strategies, tokenization of real-world assets, and what the next 6–12 months looks like for Noya.

Allen Ng, Co-Founder & CEO of Everest Venture Group (EVG), joins us to break down why Hong Kong has emerged as Asia's leading crypto hub in 2026.From launching startups in college to working on venture deals later acquired by Amazon, Allen's journey spans the early days of tech to the rise of crypto. Since entering the space during the 2017 ICO era, he has built EVG into a 200-person firm delivering 400+ smart contract audits annually across major blockchain networks.In this conversation, we explore how Asia's crypto landscape has evolved — and why Hong Kong is now at the center of it.Allen shares insights on:- The shift from the ICO era to today's institutional crypto landscape- How Hong Kong overtook Singapore as Asia's top crypto hub- The key differences between Hong Kong's “bottom-up” ecosystem and Singapore's “top-down” approach- Why talent and execution matter more than regulation- How Hong Kong connects to China's vast engineering talent pool- Emerging markets like Vietnam and their growing crypto adoption- What founders should consider when choosing where to build in AsiaThis is a grounded, experience-driven discussion on the realities of building in crypto — based on over a decade of firsthand experience in the industry.
In this episode, Lex chats with Marc Boiron — CEO of Polygon Labs. Marc shares his journey from law to blockchain, discussing the challenges of navigating crypto's evolving legal landscape and the complexities of structuring compliant DeFi projects. He explains Polygon's strategic pivot to focus on stablecoin payments, leveraging its proven blockchain and global partnerships. Marc highlights Polygon's real-world adoption, competitive edge, and vision to become the leading platform for on-chain payments. The episode offers insights into regulatory hurdles, industry trends, and Polygon's mission to transform digital money movement. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: The Labs-Foundation Structure Is a Frankenstein - and Its Creator Knows It: Marc helped architect the legal frameworks behind major DeFi token launches but openly calls the outcome a “complete Frankenstein.” The arm's-length separation between labs and foundations was necessary to survive regulatory hostility, but makes coherent execution nearly impossible. He argues projects still copying this structure today are doing so out of habit, not legal necessity. Generalist Blockchains Are Dead - Polygon Is Betting Everything on Payments: As chain architectures converge, Boiron believes differentiation through speed and low fees is over. Polygon analysed its actual usage, found stablecoin payments was the standout vertical - $2.3 trillion already moved, fintechs across LatAm, Africa, and Southeast Asia already on-chain - and went all-in. The thesis is binary: if all money moves on-chain within a decade, even the 50th-best payments chain wins big. Polygon's Real Moat Is Enterprise Trust Built During the NFT Era: The 2022–23 enterprise NFT push looked like a dead end after FTX collapsed, but it left behind institutional due diligence and credibility. Fintechs evaluating payments chains find that Polygon has years of live production use, Fortune 500 relationships, and Stripe already defaulting to it - a trust advantage no newly launched chain can replicate.

In this episode, I sit down with Tony from Sumex, an OG who's been in crypto since 2016. He shares how they're tackling one of crypto's biggest problems: fragmentation. From managing 20 browser tabs to trade across exchanges, to juggling wallets across different chains, crypto is a mess for most users. Tony walks through how Sumex aggregates CEXs, DEXs, DeFi protocols, and analytics into one intuitive platform. He shares lessons from raising seven figures, hitting $100M in trading volume in just four weeks, and why simplicity beats feature bloat every time. We also dive into what's happening in 2026, why this cycle topped on apathy, and what trends like RWAs and prediction markets mean for retail adoption. --- CONNECT ---Sumex Website: https://sumex.io/Sumex Platform: https://app.sumex.io/Sumex on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/sumex--- KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS ---• [01:21] How Tony went from TradFi CFD and forex brokers into crypto in 2017• [04:33] Running an ICO roadshow in 2018 and raising $12M during the boom• [06:16] The core problem Sumex solves: crypto tribalism, fragmentation, and steep learning curves• [07:17] Who Sumex is for: active crypto users across trading, investing, and DeFi• [10:51] How they focused on building the best trading terminal first before expanding• [15:25] Biggest technical challenge: every CEX and DEX has different APIs and documentation• [18:45] Key trends in 2026: RWAs finally have institutional support and legal frameworks• [22:35] Why this cycle topped on apathy and didn't bring in fresh retail blood like NFTs did• [28:56] The feature Tony is most hyped about: the connection manager that aggregates everything• [32:36] Four weeks in: 30,000 users, $100M in futures volume, and what's next• [34:37] Sumex raised seven figures in pre-seed and is looking for strategic investorsDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

In this episode, I speak with Phil from Augur about why prediction markets still matter and why decentralization in crypto still matters even more. We unpack Augur's long history as one of the earliest projects in crypto, why it lost momentum during high-fee Ethereum days, and why the team believes now is the right time to return. Phil explains how Augur is rebuilding around a modular oracle, how prediction market resolution really works, and why security at the oracle layer is the real game.We also dive into Augur's new white paper, the idea of making truth profitable, and how their escalation game and algorithmic fork are designed to make manipulation expensive. This is a deep but important conversation for anyone building in Web3, following prediction markets, or thinking about the future of decentralized infrastructure.Key points00:01:00 — Augur's early historyAugus explains that Augur was one of the earliest crypto projects, the first ICO, and the first ERC20 token. He also shares how it helped bring prediction markets and decentralized oracles into crypto.00:02:00 — Why Augur lost momentumAugus talks about how DeFi summer and high Ethereum L1 gas fees made Augur harder to use, especially for smaller wagers.00:03:30 — What crypto got wrong about decentralizationWe discuss how many projects promised to decentralize later, but often never followed through. Augus explains why Augur's original design stood apart.00:04:30 — The revival of AugurAugus explains how leftover treasury funds were used to restart development and how the new foundation was formed in 2025 to continue Augur's mission.00:06:30 — What prediction market users are really betting onAugus explains that users are not only betting on an outcome. They are also trusting how that outcome will be resolved.00:08:30 — Why resolution design mattersWe break down why trusting a multisig or centralized team becomes risky when prediction markets get large.00:09:30 — Augur's oracle designAugus explains that Augur's core innovation is a decentralized oracle that allows open participation in market resolution.00:12:00 — Making truth profitableAugus explains Augur's core design principle: align incentives so honest participants make money by supporting the truth.00:15:30 — The limit of escalation gamesAugus explains that escalation alone is not enough because a very large attacker could still outspend everyone else.00:16:00 — Augur's algorithmic forkAugus introduces Augur's key innovation: an algorithmic fork that forces dishonest attackers into the wrong universe.00:17:00 — How the fork works in practiceAugus explains how REP holders migrate into the universe they believe will retain economic value, which pushes honest users toward the truthful outcome.00:19:30 — How attackers lose moneyWe discuss how attackers may win a specific market but still lose overall because their tokens become worthless in the false universe.00:21:15 — How Augur makes moneySam asks about the business model, and Augus explains that Augur is not run for profit. Fees stay inside the protocol to pay for research and participation.00:24:00 — The next 12 months for AugurAugus shares that Augur is separating the oracle from the prediction market front end and focusing on oracle-as-a-service.00:26:00 — What Augur is looking forAugus says they are not fundraising. Instead, they want strong developers, aligned talent, and partnerships with prediction market platforms.Connect with Augurhttps://augur.net/ https://augur.net/blog/the-augur-lituus-whitepaper/https://x.com/AugurProjectDisclaimerNothing 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 ApplePodcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Be a guest on the podcast or contact us - https://www.web3pod.xyz/

From investment banker to crypto fund strategist, Stas Sukhinin shares insider perspectives on how credit committees really make decisions, why over-leveraged companies fail fast during downturns, and where stablecoins are creating trillion-dollar transaction opportunities. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Stas Sukhinin, a finance veteran with over 19 years of experience spanning investment banking, corporate lending, and alternative asset management. Stas began his career at internationally recognized institutions including UniCredit and Societe General, where he helped pioneer mezzanine loan products in Eastern Europe. By age 29, he had become a senior partner at one of the region's largest mezzanine lenders, managing a team of 20 finance professionals and overseeing a $450 million loan portfolio. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover what really happens inside credit committees when your loan application gets reviewed and why factors unrelated to your business can determine outcomes. Stas explains how strong companies can go from healthy to restructuring in just three to four months when leverage catches up with them, and the critical difference between how first-time owners and experienced operators approach debt decisions. You'll learn the two key factors that determine how much debt your business can handle, why working capital provisions in purchase agreements deserve more attention than most buyers give them, and how sellers legally present financials in the most favorable light. The conversation also covers Stas's experience investing in the 2017 ICO boom where 90% of projects went to zero but winners returned 50x to 100x, why venture capital investors sometimes block deals that would be life-changing for founders, and where stablecoin transaction volume is already reaching trillions while most people remain unaware. STAS'S JOURNEY: Stas's path into finance started at age 14 when a classmate brought a business magazine to school. Reading about business owners selling companies for millions crystallized his direction. He knew he wanted to be in corporate lending where he could see businesses, analyze financials, and speak directly with owners while working with numbers at a bank. His first role as a junior credit analyst gave him exactly that. He progressed from working with small businesses that had no financials to mid-sized companies to large corporations. Each step taught him more about how deals really get done from inside the institutions making funding decisions. CREDIT COMMITTEE INSIGHTS: Stas pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when loan applications reach credit committees. The reality differs dramatically from what most business owners imagine. Factors affecting approval can seem completely unrelated to the specific deal. Maybe the bank already has a competitor in their portfolio. Maybe the receivable financing department has a different relationship with someone in your industry. One offhand comment from a committee member who hasn't read the full memo can change the entire trajectory of a conversation or result in higher interest rates. DEBT MANAGEMENT LESSONS: The pattern Stas has seen destroy companies in months follows predictable steps. Revenue drops or stagnates. Margins deteriorate because of increased competition and client uncertainty. Debt ratios that looked comfortable suddenly reach concerning levels. Refinancing options disappear just when needed most. Interest rates climb. Everything compounds simultaneously. The difference between experienced and first-time business owners comes down to scenario planning. Experienced operators build safety margins and stress-test assumptions. First-time owners assume conditions will continue as they are. That assumption determines survival. ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: Stas joined a crypto investment fund at its inception in 2017 during the ICO boom. Out of many investments, approximately 90% went to zero. The winners returned 50x or 100x. His observation about liquidity cycles was particularly interesting. Traditional venture now averages seven-year holding periods while crypto projects can reach liquidity events in three or four years through token distributions. On stablecoins, Stas sees enormous opportunity in programmable money. Transaction volume is already in the trillions though most people in developed countries don't realize the scale. Goldman Sachs reportedly reduced bond settlement time from three days to minutes using blockchain technology. Perfect for business owners considering debt financing, entrepreneurs navigating capital raising, and anyone interested in how credit decisions really get made and where alternative investments are creating new opportunities.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. It's a new year, and that means the crew is back with their annual year-end awards and predictions episode. First up: the 2025 winners and losers. From Trump's meme-coin windfall to Gary Gensler's legacy getting torched, from prediction markets going mainstream to Web3 getting its official eulogy — no one is safe. The team debates the biggest surprises (Circle's shocking IPO run, Ethereum's pivot under new leadership, Zcash's unlikely comeback), the best new mechanisms (ICO 2.0, DATs, federal preemption), and the year's best memes (including the Chopping Block's own tariff factory video). Then comes the flops and comebacks: AI agents that overpromised, Berachain's fall from grace, and Tether somehow winning again. Finally, the crew reviews how badly their 2025 predictions aged — spoiler: not great — and lays out fresh calls for 2026 including AI-powered hacks, stable-coin-funded AI capex, and equity perps taking over DeFi. New year, fresh takes, brutal honesty — let's get into it. Show highlights

Sign up for their hackathon here! Crypto markets this year failed to live up to expectations, raising questions about the trajectory for next year. The situation is further complicated by speculation that Bitcoin is about to kick off a multiyear decline in line with the so-called four year cycle. In this Unchained podcast episode, Delphi Digital analysts Jason Pagoulatos and Jordan Yeakley break down the market and applications outlook for next year. They look at whether the four year cycle would hold, what gold's run means for Bitcoin and the conditions that have led to recent market apathy. They also discussed whether the recent resurgence of privacy coins is a fad and who would come out on top in the race to become an “everything app.” Is the four year cycle the result of multiple coincidences? And, is X the dark horse in the everything app meta?
