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.

On this week's episode, Gita and Luke are joined by Matt Leone, formerly of Polygon and now of Design Room, a site dedicated to sharing the oral histories behind some of the biggest and most important video games of all time. We chat about Matt's work detailing the stories behind the creation of games like Street Fighter II and Shadow Of The Colossus, how he managed to find the time and space to get that work done while at a commercial site like Polygon, and how his works, created as acts of journalism, are also becoming works of history as well. We then move onto chatting about Town To City, a relaxing city-builder that Gita and Luke simply cannot stop playing, before pondering what our favourite 5/10 video games are.Credits- Hosts: Gita Jackson, Luke Plunkett, & special guest Matt Leone- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Amid the rise of sustainable architecture, mass timber has become a powerful symbol of progress — a material that marries renewable design with modern efficiency. Yet, in the damp climate of Vancouver, BC, sustainability meets its match: moisture. Managing humidity levels in large-scale wood construction isn't just a matter of comfort; it's about protecting structural integrity, schedule, and long-term performance. For the University of the Fraser Valley's new student housing project, these challenges were amplified by the region's relentless rainfall and the building's unique E-shaped design, which trapped moisture in stubborn corners.Enter Polygon — and more specifically, Sean Smith, the company's Vancouver Branch Manager. Tasked by Clark Builders to safeguard the project, Smith and his team engineered a fully integrated moisture control system that turned real-time data into action. Over 50 sensors were installed across the site to monitor both ambient conditions and the internal moisture levels of the CLT (cross-laminated timber) floors. These sensors communicated directly with an intelligent network of desiccant dehumidifiers and heaters, automatically adjusting output to maintain optimal conditions.The result? A system that not only protected materials but also optimized energy use and streamlined workflow. Manual moisture checks were replaced by live dashboards, and project teams gained confidence backed by data, not guesswork. What could have been weeks of weather-induced delays turned into a masterclass in proactive environmental control.To understand how smart systems and strategic thinking kept this mass timber project on track — and why automation may be the future of construction moisture management — we turn to Sean Smith, Branch Manager at Polygon, who helped lead the charge on the University of the Fraser Valley's student housing project.

Chris Plante is a journalist, editor, and one of the sharpest voices working in video game media. After studying at New York University, he worked as freelance writer for outlets including The Guardian, Vulture, and Edge before, in 2012, co-founding Polygon, a website blending coverage of pop culture, longform storytelling, and thoughtful games criticism. Alongside his journalism, he co-wrote the story for the hit podcast series, Limetown, later adapted into a TV series starring Stanley Tucci. In 2017, after a stint overseeing the Culture desk at The Verge, he returned to Polygon as editor-in-chief. In May, after nearly a decade at the site, he left Polygon to launch Post Games, a podcast about why and how we love video games.

Wesley Crook (CEO, FP Block) has been shipping hard tech since 1985 and rescuing Web3 builds for years. His team audited Cardano early, served as the public auditor for Hedera for 7 years, and has delivered 110+ projects: L1s, oracles, DeFi, games, and more. We dig into why ~70% of FP Block's work is “rescues,” what enterprise-grade really means (security, throughput, reliability), why many teams pick the wrong chain, and how FP Block's chain-agnostic framework Kolme lets founders treat the application as the blockchain—then bridge anywhere. Also: Rust over vibe-coding, AI for speed (without debt), talent bottlenecks, and where Web3 consolidates next.Timestamps[00:00] Wesley's 40-year tech journey; ops leader turned Web3 builder[00:02] From FP Complete & Haskell → first Cardano auditors; Hedera public auditor[00:04] 110+ deliveries: chains, oracles, DeFi, games; enterprise clients (FS, healthcare, Big Tech)[00:05] Why ~70% of work is rescues; rebuilding for enterprise-grade reality[00:07] The core Web3 gap: few real users, weak UX, security debt, wrong chain choices[00:09] “Ecosystem first” vs user first; interoperability + security as blockers to adoption[00:11] Moving apps off earlier choices (e.g., Polygon) to Solana/Near/Sui when fit changes[00:17] Kolme thesis: the app is the blockchain + bridge out; devs focus on product/UX[00:19] Enterprise patterns: private/closed consortia; logistics, real estate flows, audit trails[00:23] Revenue model: small elite squads (CTO→DevOps); fiat + selective token/rev-share; long-term ops[00:25] AI: faster MVPs & iteration—without “vibe coding” debt[00:30] Tech stack: Rust backend, React frontend; why JavaScript/Python backends bite[00:28] Biggest scaling risk: senior talent > junior glut; teach formal methods, teamwork[00:33] Bold takes: consolidation, common standards, some chains fade; gov & enterprise enter[00:38] The ask: founders needing enterprise-grade builds; partners for KolmeConnecthttps://www.fpblock.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/fpblock/https://x.com/FP_Blockhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wesleycrook/DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

In this episode, Anna Rose and Guillermo Angeris speak with Bobbin Threadbare and Gaylord Warner from Miden to explore their zkVM and edge blockchain architecture. The group also reminisces on how they've each been a part of the ZK Whiteboard Sessions over the years. Bobbin shares Miden's earliest beginnings from Winterfell at Facebook through its development within Polygon to the recent spin-out as an independent project. The team discusses their custom ISA designed for blockchain use cases, and the multi-stage compilation pipeline that supports it. The conversation also covers Miden's pragmatic approach to privacy implementation, their plans for gradual decentralization starting with a centralized L2, and how they incentivize users to keep state off-chain through multidimensional fee structures.

Avalanche (AVAX) is once again testing a critical resistance zone, this time with stronger momentum behind it. After several failed breakout attempts, the $27 level is beginning to show signs of weakening. Bullish indicators are stacking up, fueling speculation that AVAX could finally push higher. For now, traders are watching closely to see if this run sets off a broader rally—or if the resistance zone delivers yet another rejection.~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/CBARRONGuest: Tim Warren, Host of Investing BrozInvesting Broz Youtube ➜ ‪‪   / @timwarrentrades  Follow on Twitter ➜ @tims_ta  00:00 Intro00:10 Sponsor: Coinbase00:50 50bps incoming02:15 Mohamed El-Erian: Companies can't pass as much of the price increase as they want05:34 Tom Lee: September surprise10:00 AVAX Breakout?15:20 AVAX price prediction17:45 Solana $300 soon?19:45 Ethereum analysis22:10 Polygon analysis25:30 Ronin x $OP26:50 $OP analysis30:00 $HOOD a buy?32:35 Uniswap analysis34:55 Better buy Sui or Chainlink today?37:30 Outro#Crypto #AVAX #Ethereum~$AVAX Breakout!?

In an amazing case of everyone involved with the train wreck that was Dragon Age: The Veilguard continuing to fail upwards, Bethesda has hired one of the lead writers of the game, presumably to work on Elder Scrolls VI. We discuss our eroding faith in the anticipated game along with Polygon calling Street Fighter 6 fans gooners, voice actor ProZD's hypocrisy when it comes to “diversity” in casting, TeamKill Media's ironic excuse for not putting their game on PC, Outer Worlds 2's weak anti-capitalist message, and more!

On this week's episode, Nathan and Chris are joined by former Polygon writers Ryan Gilliam and Cass Marshall, who just launched a new worker-owned video game website, Rogue. It's like Aftermath, but Polygonier. We ask them how the project came together, how things are going so far, and what their pie-in-the-sky goals are for the future. Then, after extolling the virtues of structures that don't force us to always heap attention on the big game of the week, we heap attention on the big game of the week: Silksong. It's finally out, and as expected, it's more Hollow Knight! In other words, it's good, but also very reminiscent of the first game in structure and feel. This puts it somewhat at odds with other Event Releases like Elden Ring, which garnered similar attention to curious non-fans at launch, but managed to offer them something legitimately new compared to Dark Souls. Will the un-Knighted masses bounce off this one, or will they find something to love despite a lack of attachment to the original? And as the video game industry continues to fragment, how many more all-consuming launches like this do we have in us? Finally, we invent a cool uncle who plays Warframe (Warfruncle).
