Why can't legacy databases keep up with Web3's explosion?

For episode 218 of the Crypto Altruists Podcast, we tackle a big question: What happens when you combine the intelligence of AI with the transparency and coordination power of blockchain?AI is eating the world, from your search results to your smart fridge. And while it brings innovation, it also fuels surveillance, misinformation, inequality, and tech monopolies. Ignoring it isn't an option, and AI is here to stay.That's why blockchain matters. By pairing AI with decentralization, transparency, and incentive alignment, we can build systems that are open, ethical, and designed for impact. Together, these technologies could become one of the most powerful combinations humanity has ever created for justice, equity, and social good.In today's episode you'll learn:

In this episode of the Web3 Marketing Association Podcast, hosts Dave Wallace and Suresh Balaji are joined by Hrish Lotlikar, co-founder and CEO of Superworld, to explore the bold vision of building a virtual layer over the entire planet.Hrish shares his extraordinary journey—from investment banking and venture capital in emerging markets to launching startups in AR, VR, gaming, and entertainment alongside Hollywood names like Michael Bay. These experiences inspired the creation of Superworld, a platform that allows users to own, create, and monetise virtual real estate mapped directly onto the physical world.The conversation explores how Superworld combines gaming mechanics with real-world relevance: users can “put down roots” in virtual plots of land linked to real geography, while brands can build immersive experiences, experiment with new products, or extend customer engagement into hybrid physical-digital spaces. Unlike purely virtual worlds, Superworld's foundation on Earth ensures durability and relevance—your virtual assets retain value because they're tied to real locations.Hrish also emphasises Superworld's mission to be a life-enhancing platform, not a life-escape platform. Inspired by the lessons of The Social Dilemma, the vision is to use AR, VR, and Web3 technologies to enrich people's real lives rather than distract from them—what Hrish calls “live to earn”. Accessibility is key: Superworld is designed to be hardware-agnostic and interoperable across web, mobile, wearables, and future devices.This inspiring discussion highlights how Web3 can reshape ownership, identity, and community—not by drawing people away from reality, but by enhancing how we live, connect, and create in the world around us.

In this episode, my guest is Timothy Rann, Managing Partner of Mercy Corps Ventures. He leads what is likely the only venture capital fund in the world to have emerged from within a humanitarian NGO. When the fund was first created, Mercy Corps itself was a $600 million-a-year organization working in more than 40 conflict and climate-stressed countries.After years of building businesses in fragile markets such as Cambodia, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, he and his wife moved to Jakarta, where he was recruited to help launch what became Mercy Corps Ventures. The original idea was to create “the equivalent of Google X inside a nonprofit.”But that venture-building model proved too expensive. Tim and his team pivoted and convinced the board to let them invest directly in startups serving the Global South.From those beginnings, Mercy Corps Ventures has scaled into a family of four funds with more than 60 portfolio companies across Africa, Latin America, and Asia.Their first fund was evergreen, seeded by family offices and corporates, later joined by institutions like USAID and Proparco. It's already produced a unicorn and multiple exits.The second fund, now aiming for $50 million, focuses on climate adaptation and resilience.The third fund is the Venture Lab. It puts small grants behind frontier ideas – everything from anticipatory cash transfers to glacier restoration.And the fourth is a Web3 fund. Its purpose is simple: to test whether decentralized finance can lower costs and expand access in emerging markets. Mercy Corps Ventures has what they call a resilient future thesis. The idea is to back startups that help communities in emerging markets adapt to climate change and recover faster from shocks.Their thesis is built around three verticals:adaptive agriculture and food systemsinclusive fintechclimate-smart technologiesInstead of waiting years for perfect research to act on, they put capital to work now. They test what works and learn along the way. As Tim puts it, “We need to take as much impact risk as commercial risk within the realm”.It's this willingness to test, fail, and adapt that's helped MCV move from an experiment inside a nonprofit to one of the most innovative impact investors in the Global South today.In this interview, Tim talks about what it takes to back founders in fragile markets, why impact investing sometimes means taking risks no one else will, and why boring products like factoring can unlock climate resilience.Tune in to hear more about his remarkable journey.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

在加密市场里，永续合约一直是最重要的交易工具。它们构成了币圈巨大的交易量和流动性，也决定了资金和风险的走向。过去，这一切几乎都掌握在中心化交易所手里，而去中心化衍生品交易平台（Perp DEX）则试图把永续合约从“黑箱”里拿出来，真正做到链上透明。 然而，大多数去中心化交易平台都面临同一个问题：速度不够快、流动性不够深，因此很难和中心化平台竞争。在这样的背景下，Hyperliquid 出现了。过去一年，Hyperliquid逆势吸引用户，交易量超越一种竞争对手，直逼主流中心化交易所。 Hyperliquid做对了什么？它的团队和技术逻辑有什么秘籍？本期节目我们将尝试回答这些问题，进一步探讨 Hyperliquid 的竞争力，以及它能否真正改变加密衍生品赛道的格局。 本期节目不构成任何投资建议。 【主播】 刘锋，BODL Ventures 合伙人，前链闻总编辑 熊浩珺Jack，律动 BlockBeats 副主编，《Web3 无名说》主播 【嘉宾】 Raccoon Chan（小浣熊），DeFi 产品重度用户；Hyperliquid 社区成员；X：@RaccoonHKG；社群：https://bit.ly/41D1W7q 【赞助商】 本期节目由开源硬件钱包OneKey赞助播出。硬件钱包是保护加密资产最有效的方式之一。加密世界是黑暗森林，每个人都该为自己的资产负责。物理隔离的硬件钱包，能更好保护助记词不被盗窃。 访问OneKey官网 (https://shop.onekey.so/discount/web3101)购买开源硬件钱包，使用折扣码「web3101」可享受95折优惠。 【硅谷101科技峰会】 《硅谷101》的年度科技大会又回来了，这是我们将有趣的技术干货与故事带到线下的第二年，用最好的内容让大家亲身感受前沿科技的酷炫和温度一直是硅谷101的目标。硅谷10月5日，期待与各位见面，从这里驶向未来！ 欢迎点击前往 (https://luma.com/l5mpmr0k)购票地址，输入粉丝专属折扣码“VALLEY101FANS”，享85折优惠。 【你将听到】 Hyperliquid的产品与机制 06:40 小浣熊是怎么发现Hyperliquid的？ 11:58 Perp DEX发展简史 19:22 GLP与HLP机制的底层逻辑与异同 市场扩张与流动性飞轮 25:33 没有VC背书，Hyperliquid的流动性飞轮从哪里来？ 37:24 巨鲸为什么更愿意在Hyperliquid上交易？ 44:24 HYPE代币发行后，大户为何能迅速形成共识？ 生态发展与未来挑战 49:02 HyperEVM生态有哪些值得关注的项目？ 53:14 解读HIP-3，及其对Hyperliquid产生的影响 57:26 Hyperliquid有哪些值得关注的竞争对手？ 01:00:58 Hyperliquid还有哪些弱点？ 01:15:26 Hyperliquid势头还能持续多久？ 【名词解释】 本期提到的一些 Web3 企业和词汇： dYdX 上一轮加密周期的主流去中心化衍生品交易平台，最初构建在以太坊二层，后迁移至 Cosmos 生态，2022年后用户量和交易量逐渐滑坡。 GMX 知名去中心化永续合约交易平台，基于 Arbitrum 和 Avalanche 部署，采用独特的流动性池模式，用户可以直接通过代币池进行交易。 GLP（GMX Liquidity Pool） GMX 的流动性池模式，采用实物交割机制，池中存有比特币、以太坊、稳定币等加密货币。优点是清结算稳健，不易穿仓，但难以支持长尾资产。 HLP（Hyperliquid Liquidity Pool） Hyperliquid 的流动性池模式，采用美元稳定币现金交割，支持更多资产和更高杠杆，交易体验更接近中心化交易所。但其安全性与稳定性依赖于团队的风控和做市策略。 HIP-3 HIP-3 是 Hyperliquid 的提案是一项关键升级，旨在将 Hyperliquid 从去中心化交易平台转变为开放且可编程的金融基础设施层，使许可永续合约市场创建流程去中心化并赋能社区构建者。 THORChain THORChain 是一个基于 Cosmos SDK 构建的去中心化跨链交易协议，允许用户直接在原生资产（如 BTC、ETH）之间进行无需信任的兑换，通过独特的多链流动性池和 RUNE 代币经济模型实现安全高效的跨链交换。 Unit Unit 是 Hyperliquid 生态中的资产通证化协议，通过锁定铸造机制将比特币、以太坊、Solana 等跨链资产以原生形式引入 Hyperliquid 网络。 Lighter Lighter 是一个基于 zk-rollup 的去中心化永续合约交易所（DEX）协议，专注于提供近似集中式交易所（CEX）级别的高性能撮合与清算，同时维护交易可验证性和公平性。 【后期】 AMEI 【BGM】 Mumbai - Ooyy First Horizon - ELFL 【在这里找到我们】 收听渠道：苹果｜小宇宙 海外用户：Apple Podcast｜Spotify｜Google Podcast｜Amazon Music 联系我们：podcast@sv101.net

“Privacy is sovereignty. It's about choosing what's mine to share.” — Digitalgal In a hyper-public internet, visibility has become currency. We're taught that more platforms, more posts, and more personal detail equate to more opportunity. “Building in public” became the expectation and mantra for creators and founders, particularly in Web3. Visibility was everything. Share more, show more, and success would follow. But what happens when the persona you project starts costing you your privacy, your safety, your quality of output, and your time? In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon sits down with Digitalgal (@dgtlgal), co-founder of Inner Core Ventures, a Puerto Rico–based venture studio building acquisition-ready digital startups. Digitalgal is an entrepreneur who retired at 31 and chose freedom as her design constraint. An early Web3 adopter since 2016, she has built companies, incubated products, championed remote-first teams, and eventually chose pseudonymity as a way to align her work with her values of privacy and sovereignty.  She has been committed throughout her career to maximizing the productive potential of remote working, global teams, and freedom-based digital business models. Together, they talk about early retirement as positive liberty, why “chasing fear” can restore purpose, and how mindset—not mechanics—creates lasting results. They also explore Web3: self-custody, DAOs, token-gated communities, and why strategic anonymity is as much a creative tool as it is a shield. If you've ever asked yourself: “What would I do if I could reclaim my time?” “How do I build a career without giving everything away?” “Can privacy and freedom coexist with ambition?” This one is for you. –  Connect with Digitalgal on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/dgweb3/ – Connect with Digitalgal on X:  https://x.com/dgtlgal – Connect with Simon: https://zaap.bio/simonclowes – Object Subject Form on Instagram:  https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform

Radix DLT is a Layer-1 distributed ledger—think blockchain for DeFi, but without the clunky blocks. It's built from the ground up to make decentralized finance smoother, safer, and more scalable. Why you should listen Radix DLT is a full-stack Layer-1, distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform purpose-built for the next wave of decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 development. Unlike traditional blockchains, Radix isn't chained to blocks—it's a true DLT leveraging its novel Cerberus consensus algorithm, offering atomic composability across shards and effectively limitless scalability. That means DeFi dApps can interoperate seamlessly in a single transaction without choking on traffic—Radix is engineered to scale to the needs of global finance. Radix isn't just about raw speed—it doubles down on usability. On the user side, the Radix Wallet brings clarity: no more blind signing or seed-phrase nightmares. Transactions are human-readable, and multi-factor, decentralized account recovery makes losing access a bore of the past. For developers, Radix gives you Scrypto—the world's first asset-centric smart contract language—and the Radix Engine, a DeFi-optimized “game engine” for building secure, composable dApps fast. Think of it as trading in clunky old engines for a sleek, intuitive ride that actually encourages innovation. Radix wasn't tinkering around—it's OECD-scale serious. With integrated, platform-native identity solutions baked right into its design, Radix is tackling one of the biggest barriers to real-world adoption: bridging crypto and compliance. That means institutional investors can actually bring capital on-chain, using verifiable, on-ledger identity in a way that's compatible with KYC/AML frameworks. If Web3 is ever going mainstream, it needs to solve identity—not just scalability and UX. Radix aims to check all three boxes.

Send us a textThe marketing landscape is transforming rapidly, and leadership must evolve with it. That's the driving insight behind my exciting announcement today – my new book "The Future CMO" is almost ready to launch! After sharing keynote stages with Philip Kotler in Cairo and Dennis Yu in Portugal, I realized the message I've been developing over years was finally coming together in a powerful way.What started as a conversation with Mark Schaefer in July – "You're already doing the work, your book is halfway done" – has blossomed into a focused, actionable guide for modern marketing leaders. This isn't a lengthy theoretical tome; it's a sharp 90-minute read designed specifically for marketers, founders, and decision-makers navigating the complexities of AI, Web3, and the overwhelming technological noise we all face today."The Future CMO" explores how marketing leadership must evolve from strategist to integrator, from campaign thinker to system builder. I dive into critical themes of visibility, trust, and storytelling while making the case that tomorrow's most effective marketing leaders will guide their organizations not just with metrics, but with meaning. The e-book launches this September, followed by the paperback in October. If you'd like to be part of this journey – as an early reader, launch team member, or just someone who wants to grab the book when it's available, reach out to me via https://webdrie.net. The future of marketing starts with how we choose to show up, and I'd love for you to join me in exploring what that means for all of us.This episode was recorded via Descript on Sep 3, 2025.
