When the world's leading voice in human-centered privacy joins forces with the high-octane energy of Ash Brown, the result is an eye-opening deep dive into the digital frontier. Ash Brown welcomes Ken Griggs, the Emmy award-winning technologist and CEO of Julia Social, for a timely conversation about the UK government's proposed nationwide digital ID system and its global implications. The Big Debate: Security vs. Surveillance Ken Griggs brings decades of expertise in blockchain technology and cryptography to dissect what a centralized digital ID truly means for the average citizen. While governments pitch these systems as a convenience for accessing public services, Ken sounds the alarm on the hidden costs to personal privacy and data autonomy. In this captivating episode, Ash and Ken explore: The Centralization Trap: Why storing the identity of an entire nation in a single database creates a high-risk honey pot for hackers and state actors. The Julia Social Vision: How Ken's work with Julia Social advocates for a decentralized identity approach, where individuals—not institutions—own and control their own data. The UK Digital ID Ripple Effect: Why the global community should watch these legislative moves closely, as they could set a groundbreaking or dangerous precedent for digital rights worldwide. Turning Tech Insight into Real-World Action Ash Brown's signature Authentic Optimism keeps the conversation grounded as Ken provides actionable insights on how listeners can protect their digital footprints today. From understanding the mechanics of Not.Bot to the security power of the Chia blockchain, this interview bridges the gap between complex tech and everyday life.

In this episode, I'm joined by Joe Rey (Founder & CCO), Oliver Fuselier (COO & CMO), Mykola Smorgun (CTO) from Popology Network.We talk about why curation might matter more than AI in a world of infinite content, how Popology uses a “meta search” to pull media from multiple platforms into curated popcasts, and how they aim to decentralize digital rights management by making users the curators and ledger operators.We also cover influencer-brand sponsorship selection, permissioned data ownership, and what they're raising to scale the platform.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Intro: Popology's mission – redesigning the attention economy, curation, and decentralized DRM.

Send us a textPlayers were trading digital loot under trees in MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online  games) long before NFTs existed. That single image sets the tone for this conversation with Rudy Koch, cofounder of Mythical Games and veteran of Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, as we unpack what truly drives Web3 gaming forward: behavior, not buzzwords. We talk about how blockchain formalizes a desire that's been in games for decades and why the path to mass adoption starts with joy, fairness, and social connection, not a chain logo.We dig into the hardest problems builders face right now: user acquisition, player liquidity, and the messaging split between crypto diehards and the mainstream. Rudy explains why “market the fun, not the tech” is more than a slogan, and how platforms with built-in audiences change the calculus. Telegram emerges as the surprise winner, offering scale, a growing dev ecosystem, and browser-native access that lets teams ship fast, learn faster, and avoid million-dollar dead ends. We connect that trend to what's already proven in Asia with chat-first game ecosystems, and why Reddit, X, and WhatsApp are poised to become the next distribution rails.AI shows up as leverage on two fronts. Inside the studio, it compresses content pipelines and boosts prototyping speed for small teams. Inside the game, it acts like a tireless live ops producer, learning what each player loves and crafting hyper-personalized events, challenges, and offers that keep sessions fresh without relying on brute-force grind. The result is a practical playbook: pick platforms that grant liquidity, translate technology into clear player benefits, build community roles that matter, and iterate toward an experience that solves a real need.If this conversation helped you see the space with fresh eyes, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves games, and leave a quick five-star review so more builders can find it.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on November 20, 2025.

Kam Punia is the Founder and CEO of Pixion Games, the London based studio behind Fableborne and the $POWER gaming ecosystem.  Why you should listen In this episode, Kam Punia, founder and CEO of Pixion Games, shares his background as a long-time game industry veteran and explains how that experience shaped the studio's approach to building competitive, mobile-first games. He reflects on lessons learned from working on large global franchises such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, including how to scale game universes, balance progression, and design systems that keep players engaged over long periods of time. Kam also discusses the broader state of the gaming market and why mobile remains the dominant platform for global player hours. The conversation focuses on Pixion Games' flagship title, Fableborne, a mobile action RPG that blends fast-paced combat with strategic base building and asynchronous PvP gameplay. Kam explains the core mechanics of the game, including hero collection, kingdom defence, and raid-based progression, as well as the fantasy setting of the Shatterlands. He outlines how Fableborne is designed to be accessible for casual players while offering deeper strategic layers for more competitive audiences. Kam discusses how Web3 elements are integrated into Fableborne in a way that supports gameplay rather than replacing it. He explains Pixion's philosophy of optional blockchain participation, where players can enjoy the full game experience without needing to interact with wallets or tokens. The episode explores how Web3 can enable ownership, progression systems, and long-term incentives, while keeping onboarding friction low for traditional gamers. The discussion covers Pixion's partnerships and ecosystem support, including collaborations with infrastructure providers and investors that help power live operations, scaling, and community engagement. Kam shares insights into how Pixion thinks about player trust, controlled economies, and sustainable reward systems as part of building a long-lasting game. Finally, Kam looks ahead to the future of gaming, outlining why competitive, mobile-first experiences with strong live-ops foundations are likely to lead the next wave of innovation. He explains how community-driven content, evolving game worlds, and optional digital ownership can coexist with proven free-to-play models, and why experienced game designers will play a critical role in shaping the next generation of hybrid games.

What happens when the future of money stops being about speculation and starts being about people, ownership, and agency? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Dr. Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis, to unpack a conversation that goes far beyond crypto price cycles or technical hype. This is a thoughtful discussion about where blockchain is heading and, just as importantly, where it could go wrong if we are not paying attention. Friederike has spent more than a decade building foundational infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, from smart wallets to decentralized exchanges and blockchain networks that quietly power large parts of Web3. But as she explains, the industry is now standing at a fork in the road. One path leads to blockchain becoming a silent backend upgrade for banks and incumbents, improving efficiency while keeping power centralized. The other path is far more ambitious, using blockchain to return ownership, control, and financial agency to everyday people. We talk about why financial infrastructure, despite working reasonably well for many of us in Europe, remains deeply inefficient, expensive, and exclusionary at a global level.  A major theme of this episode is usability. Friederike is clear that technology only matters if it improves real lives. She explains why early blockchain products asked too much of users and how that is now changing, with experiences that feel as simple as using a neobank or debit card while preserving true ownership under the hood. The goal is not to make everyone a crypto expert, but to make financial tools that work seamlessly while remaining genuinely user-owned. We also explore the darker possibilities. Like any powerful technology, blockchain can be used to empower or to control. Friederike does not shy away from the risks of surveillance, social scoring, and misuse, and she argues that the real battle ahead is cultural, not technical. Values like privacy, free expression, and personal agency need to be defended openly, or the technology will be shaped without public consent. As we look toward 2026, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that the future of money is still being written. The question is whether it will be owned by communities or quietly absorbed by the same institutions we already rely on. After listening to this episode, where do you think that future should land, and what choices are you willing to make to influence it?

In this episode I talk with Ryan from Toroa Group, a New Zealand-based founder building across tokenised funds and vault strategies, title-backed property tokens, and NZD/AUD stablecoins.We cover why stablecoins are still the clearest product-market fit, why non-USD stablecoins matter for smaller countries, how to tokenize title instead of fund units, and how they work with existing funds to offer tokenized fund access to DAOs, foundations and on-chain natives.Ryan also shares his “follow the demand, don't force education” philosophy and how tokenised assets are now able to provide utility over and above the legacy versions which is supercharging mainstream adoption.

Florian Klein is the Commercial Lead at Bitpanda's Web3 team. Bitpanda, one of Europe's most regulated digital asset platforms (7M+ users, multiple MiCA licences), is expanding into Web3 through Vision ($VSN), its ecosystem token for compliant tokenisation and DeFi infrastructure. Why you should listen Vision is Bitpanda's unified Web3 ecosystem designed to make decentralised technologies accessible through a familiar, compliant, and integrated framework. The initiative brings together a suite of products; one wallet, one protocol, one chain, and one token, intended to create a consistent experience for users exploring on-chain finance. By combining intuitive interfaces with regulatory alignment, Vision aims to bridge traditional finance and the decentralised web in a way that supports long-term adoption. The ecosystem is built around several core components: the Bitpanda DeFi Wallet, Vision Protocol, Vision Chain, Bitpanda Launchpad, and the Vision Token (VSN). The DeFi Wallet provides non-custodial access with features such as smart onboarding, sponsored and discounted gas fees for eligible actions, multichain swaps, staking and an Engage section coming soon, allowing users to earn monthly rewards through collecting XP by interacting with Web3.  Vision Protocol acts as an interoperability layer that aggregates liquidity and routing across multiple chains and major DEX aggregators, while Vision Chain is presented as an Ethereum-based Layer-2 with compliance tools suitable for tokenisation and institutional on-chain activity.

You'll learn why the old models of value exchange, regulation, and finance are breaking down and how new systems of decentralized infrastructure are emerging to replace them.We break down how investor psychology, hype cycles, and venture capital stages influence innovation, and why the best opportunities often emerge in downturns.

Bitcoin has never had better headlines. Institutional adoption. Government-level discussions. Tokenization of global markets. Stablecoins are eating traditional finance alive. And yet… price is stuck. In this episode of the Milk Road Show, Scott Melker breaks down why this market feels so frustrating, confusing, and exhausting, and why that might actually be the most dangerous phase for crypto investors. ~~~~~

Forget vibes, narratives, and hopium, this is a data-driven look at demand, ETFs, whales, leverage, and key technical levels that historically separate bull markets from bear markets.~~~~~

L1 blockchains have gone through every hype cycle: ICOs, NFTs, gaming, metaverse, now AI. But what actually survives?In this episode, I speak with Alexander Zahnd, CEO of Zilliqa, an L1 that launched in 2017 and recently became fully EVM-compatible. Alex shares his journey from a decade in Swiss TradFi and treasury/regulatory projects into DeFi, and how that shaped his views on financial rigor, regulation and long-term blockchain adoption.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Mercenary DeFi users: Alex explains why liquidity follows the highest incentives and why this is a problem for long-term protocol sustainability.[00:01:00] From Swiss banks to Zilliqa: A decade in TradFi, treasury and regulation, discovering DeFi as “finance without intermediaries,” and joining Zilliqa four years ago.[00:05:00] L1 landscape today: How Zilliqa moved from sharding-focused scalability to full EVM compatibility, and why EVM + SVM gravity is consolidating general-purpose L1s.[00:08:00] Narrative chasing vs. building: ICOs, gaming, NFTs, metaverse, AI—all tried at Zilliqa; why chasing every hype is fragile and a clear, durable North Star matters.[00:11:00] AI x blockchain: Alex uses AI tools daily but is skeptical of forced “AI + chain” narratives until real, organic use cases emerge.[00:13:00] Real institutional adoption: Institutions aren't allergic to crypto; they're allergic to operational and regulatory uncertainty. Why audit-ready, compliant infra will be a major driver.[00:14:00] Where DeFi still has upside: Derivatives, perps, structured products, on-chain treasuries, RWAs, and permissioned DeFi rails for institutions and KYC'd wallets.[00:17:00] Token design lessons: Tokens should coordinate and power utility flows, not exist purely for price appreciation or quick fundraising.[00:20:00] Price vs fundamentals: How token price is the easiest visible metric, but often detached from real usage—unlike equities, where mature analyst coverage helps.[00:24:00] Lowering dev friction: Why Zilliqa's EVM compatibility and AI-assisted tooling matter for non-engineer builders to prototype and ship ideas faster.[00:28:00] On-chain LEIs with Liechtenstein: A government-backed initiative for blockchain-verifiable legal entity identifiers as a bridge between TradFi and Web3.[00:29:00] Alex's ask: Strategic partnerships, institutional integrations and long-range alliances around regulated, EVM-based infrastructure.Connecthttps://zilliqa.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/zilliqa/https://x.com/zilliqaDisclaimerNothing 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.Get featuredBe a guest on the podcast or contact us – https://www.web3pod.xyz/

Thank you to our sponsor, MultiChain Advisors!The beef between Solana dapps Jupiter and Kamino has taken a new dimension as Kamino has accused Jupiter of lying about contagion risks. In this episode of Uneasy Money, hosts Kain Warwick, Luca Netz and Taylor Monahan dive into whether Jupiter misled users and raise questions about Kamino's response. Plus, after Tarun Chitra's paper on Hyperliquid's ADL, they dig deep into the exchange's design: did they cause unnecessary liquidations on Oct. 10?  At the same time, they break down Lighter's 0% fees model. Does it resemble Robinhood? And how smart is it actually?  Plus, what Farcaster's big pivot means for the future of Web3 social, and what Taylor says it would take to crack it.

Jim sits down with Sean Luke (Partner at SPMB Executive Search) to talk about the art of hiring senior engineering and product leaders—especially now that every job description on Earth has "AI" duct-taped to it. We get into why sticking with one great search firm beats "random recruiter roulette," why tech interviewing is tough (spoiler: engineers aren't always born interviewers), and the eternal tension between the two key roles - CTO (big brain science/vision) and VP Engineering (keep the trains running, preferably on the tracks). Then it's on to the AI gold rush: what a normal Head of Engineering should actually be doing with AI (hint: practical stuff like code review, QA, automation), why "Head of AI" is usually a totally separate job, and why "10 years of LLM experience" belongs in the same bin as Web3 buzzword soup. We also cover who's moving jobs right now, why PE can feel like a saner bet than venture (less "moonshot," more "actual exit"), and what candidates must be able to explain: what you did, and how it moved the business—numbers included. Plus: a few recruiting war stories, including the kind you can't make up and the kind that makes you grateful for a boring Tuesday.

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. This episode starts with Farcaster's pivot and Tarun's claim that “Web3 is dead,” at least the A16z-style ownership economy. With Web3 social struggling, the crew digs into why spam, airdrops, and weak network effects keep sinking these apps — and why prediction markets may be crypto's accidental social network. We then jump to the L1 valuation fight. Haseeb recaps his debate with Santiago over whether chains are wildly overpriced or simply early, sparking a broader discussion on PE ratios, L1 “premiums,” and how many chains the world can realistically sustain. Next up: Ken Chan's viral “I wasted 8 years in crypto.” The team unpacks burnout, sugar-water loops, and why nihilism tends to hit founders right as the market turns. And finally, Tarun walks through his ADL research and how October 10's cascading liquidations exposed major flaws in current systems. Markets evolving, narratives collapsing — let's get into it.

In this episode of FYI – For Your Innovation, ARK's Brett and Lorenzo are joined by Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, to explore the evolving landscape of Ethereum scaling, the role of Layer 2s, and Polygon's growing importance in Web3 infrastructure. Sandeep unpacks how Polygon transitioned from a sidechain into a comprehensive execution layer, supporting both shared and dedicated compute environments. The discussion spans Polygon's technology roadmap (including the transition to Polygon 2.0), the distinction between sidechains and L2s, and how Polygon's AggLayer is designed to unify fragmented liquidity across custom blockchains. They also address the competitive dynamics between public blockchains and “corpo chains” like those initiated by Stripe, Circle, and Coinbase—raising questions about credible neutrality, token economics, and long-term adoption paths. Sandeep outlines Polygon's strategy of prioritizing scale before revenue, aiming to build lasting infrastructure in the face of fast-moving innovation.Key Points From This Episode:[00:00] – Intro: What are Layer 1s, Layer 2s, and sidechains?[08:00] – Why apps are moving to dedicated L2s[20:03] – What is Polygon, and why is “L2” a misnomer?[28:03] – Pitching Polygon to institutions and developers[29:01] – Competitive landscape: too many chains, not enough clarity[34:14] – Are L2s valuable businesses?[35:30] – Why usage, not fees, is Polygon's current priority[40:46] – Corpo chains and how they leverage open infrastructure[48:41] – What success looks like for Polygon in 5 years[49:54] – Key metrics: TVL, throughput, and transaction growth[50:57] – Outro and closing reflections from Brett
