Podcasts about L1

Tempo Mainnet is live, but this episode isn't really about just another chain launch. It's about a bigger claim: that AI agents are about to need native money, and that the internet may need a new payment layer to support them. Georgios Konstantopoulos and Brendan Ryan join Bankless to unpack why Tempo launched with agentic payments front and center, what MPP actually is, how it compares to x402, and why they think machine-to-machine commerce could reshape everything from paid APIs to the business model of the web itself. ---

Incapable de redresser la barre d'un FC Nantes sérieusement menacé de relégation en Ligue 2 (17e à 9 journées de la fin de al saison), Ahmed Kantari a été limogé mardi par des Canaris qui espèrent boucler rapidement l'arrivée d'un grand ancien, Vahid Halilhodzic, pour le remplacer. Si le sort de Kantari semblait presque réglé après la défaite (1-0) contre Angers samedi, la huitième en dix journées de L1 sous ses ordres, l'identité de son successeur très probable a surpris. Âgé de 73 ans, ancien buteur du club dans les années 1980, Halilhodzic avait déjà fait un passage sur le banc Jaune et Vert lors de la saison 2018-2019, succédant alors au Portugais Miguel Cardoso début octobre après huit journées pour finir la saison. Depuis la fin de ses trois années à la tête du Maroc en 2022, Halilhodzic semblait couler une retraite paisible et méritée, rejetant plusieurs propositions, selon une source proche du technicien. Mais sollicité avec insistance par son club de cœur depuis dimanche, il a fini par céder et devrait arriver en soirée sur les bords de l'Erdre pour finaliser son contrat, selon la même source. Comme lors de la saison 2023-2024, où Jocelyn Gourvennec avait succédé à Pierre Aristouy avant d'être lui-même remplacé par Antoine Kombouaré à 8 journées de la fin, le FCN s'offre donc une nouvelle saison à trois entraîneurs...Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode, I sit down with Shresth Agrawal, co-founder of Pod Network, to unpack why the world needs yet another Layer 1.We go deep into MEV, front-running, and why today's blockchain markets are still unfair. Shresth explains how Pod is building a purpose-built L1 designed for high-performance, MEV-free markets. We break down how auctions replace traditional transaction ordering, how Pod can process 300,000 orders per second, and why sub-second settlement changes everything.We also talk about product-market fit in Web3. Are payments and markets the only real use cases? What can founders learn from Ethereum, Hyperliquid, and newer L1s? And what's Pod's go-to-market plan?If you care about fair markets, decentralized finance, or the future of on-chain trading, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Defiant Podcast, Camila Russo sits down with Jing Wang to discuss how Optimism is evolving and why the debate over what counts as a “real” Ethereum L2 might be missing the point.Jing argues that the most important question isn't whether a chain is an L1, L2, or sidechain. It's whether the architecture actually serves users and real-world use cases.“If it looks like an L1, we'll build that. If it looks like an L2, we'll build that.”In the conversation we cover:Why Optimism now sees itself as a network of blockchains (the Superchain)The debate around Ethereum L2 decentralization sparked by Vitalik ButerinWhy institutions are already using decentralized railsWhy ZK proofs are the futureAnd why Jing believes finance inevitably moves on-chainNexo is a premier digital assets wealth platform that helps clients build, manage, and preserve their wealth through advanced interest-generating products, crypto-backed credit, advanced trading tools, and 24/7 client care.

With Ethereum refocusing on L1 and Hyperliquid adoption growing, Solana is arguably facing stronger competition than ever. Can it thrive still? Multicoin co-founder Tushar Jain and Blockworks co-founder Mike Ippolito share several reasons to be excited about Solana, including Alpenglow and anticipated market microstructure design flexibility. Find out why Tushar and Mike say Firedancer has not been a flop despite seemingly low adoption, why they don't see block building issues stopping Solana from challenging Hyperliquid, and why they say the network doesn't have to do anything to specifically attract AI agents. Plus, why they both believe that the RWA race is too early to call despite Ethereum's dominance. Meanwhile, with Alpenglow still months away, Mike says the wait doesn't matter — for the next 12 to 18 months BD and marketing matter more than tech for adoption.

В этом выпуске у меня в гостях Евгения Тихонова — Head of Talent Management в Hilti North America, отвечающая за развитие и удержание middle и top-менеджеров в США и Канаде. Евгения прошла путь от финансов и продаж до HR, сделала международную карьеру через Малайзию, Россию и Панаму и сейчас работает в США по визе L1, управляя стратегией развития талантов в крупнейшем регионе компании.Мы обсудили, как на самом деле устроен карьерный рост в США: почему не обязательно становиться менеджером, чтобы быть успешным, чем отличается трек individual contributor (IC) от управленческого пути и как в Америке оценивают потенциал сотрудников. Поговорили о разнице между российским и американским подходом к продвижению, о роли софт-скиллов и умении влиять без формальной власти, о том, когда стоит менять компанию ради роста зарплаты, как работодатели относятся к джобхопперам и почему строить репутацию важно в долгую. Отдельно затронули тему возраста — почему 40 лет не предел для роста, а 70 лет все чаще воспринимается как новый профессиональный ресурс, а не ограничение.Евгения Тихонова (Evgeniya Tikhonova) — Head of Talent Management в Hilti North America.

In this episode, host Sebastian Couture is joined by Chris Yin, CEO of Plume Network, to deconstruct the current state of Real World Assets (RWAs) and why the sector is at a pivotal inflection point. Chris argues that most RWA projects today are functionally "worse on-chain" because they lack liquidity, composability, and the "crypto-native" user experience that made stablecoins successful. He details how Plume is solving this through a custom L1 stack and the Nest vault protocol, which tokenizes high-yield assets like Brazilian credit card receivables and oil production for a global market.They explore the friction between traditional finance and DeFi, highlighting why private credit's long duration makes it unsuitable for the "looping" and leverage that drives crypto demand. Chris explains the significance of Plume's SEC Transfer Agent license and its role in bridging the gap between regulated funds and permissionless rails. Finally, the conversation tackles the "bleak" vs. "optimistic" future of crypto, asking whether the industry will maintain its core principles of self-custody and decentralization as it searches for a "new daddy" in institutional capital.Topics00:00 Intro & Context04:15 The Job of a Founder: Finding Change09:30 Crypto Natives vs. TradFi Suites15:00 Stablecoins: The Only RWA That Matters (Today)21:45 The Bottleneck: It's Not Tokenization, It's Demand27:10 Why Build an L1 for Assets?35:20 SEC Transfer Agent License Explained42:15 Nest Alpha: Blending Oil, Credit, and T-Bills49:00 Is Leverage Sustainable for Institutions?55:30 The Exodus: Will Crypto Values Survive?LinksChris Yin on X: https://x.com/chriseyinPlume Network: https://www.plumenetwork.com/Nest: https://nest.plumenetwork.com/NEAR: https://near.ai/Sponsors:NEAR AI Cloud now lets developers deploy OpenClaw—the rapidly growing open-source AI agent platform—inside Trusted Execution Environments, providing hardware-level encryption with cryptographic attestations.
