    Why Launching a New Stablecoin Is Insanely Difficult (And Why He Did It Anyway!) with Joseph from Nerite

    Send us a text In this episode I sit down with Joseph, also known as CupoJOSΞPH, for a deep dive into the world of decentralized finance and the fascinating journey that led to the creation of Nerite—a feature-packed stablecoin protocol on Arbitrum. From Joseph’s early days impressing a crush by learning Solidity and his time working at ConsenSys during the launch of DAI, to experimenting with unpegged stablecoins like RAI and Open Dollar, you’ll get an insider look at how stablecoins have evolved—and the hard lessons learned along the way. Joseph and Gramajo unpack why most users say they want non-USD pegged stablecoins but rarely use them, the challenge of driving adoption for genuinely novel DeFi tech, and what it means to build for “users who lie.” They also explore the special sauce behind Nerite—borrowing at self-selected interest rates, supporting multiple types of collateral, composable design, and native money streaming via Superfluid (no wrapping required!). You’ll hear about the double-edged sword of immutability, the power of combining governance rights with DeFi utility, and why the Nerite team isn’t chasing decentralization theater with pointless frontends. 08:52 How Dai Maintains $1 Peg 14:11 "Liquidy V2: Superior Stablecoin Security" 15:59 "Liquidy V2 Licensing Model" 25:48 Delayed Compensation Critique 31:07 "Nerite Superfluid Token Feature" 31:53 Innovative Real-Time Payment System 39:49 Customizable Loan Interest Rates 45:39 Governance Token Trade-off Issues 50:28 "Neurite DAO's Role in Arbitrum" 56:40 Collateral Limitations and Future Adaptation 01:03:37 Developers' Challenges in Crypto 01:04:29 "Challenges of Building for Users" Links: Nerite.org Thefett Podcast AMA More Support the show This whole podcast can be found onchain, check out my page if you would like to mint this episode.

    The Silent Revolution: How Enscribe Is Making Ethereum Safer for Everyone with Conor from Enscribe

    Send us a text In this episode, we’re exploring the fascinating world of ENS-powered contract naming with Conor, the founder behind Enscribe. Conor takes us through his journey from discovering Ethereum back in 2016, inspired by its “world computer” ethos and close ties to the open-source community, to launching pivotal projects like web3j and now Enscribe. Enscribe sets out with a bold mission: to eliminate confusing hex addresses from Ethereum's user experience and make interacting with smart contracts safer and more human-friendly through recognizable names. We discuss the technical challenges of contract naming, the slow but steady adoption across the ecosystem, and the powerful impact this seemingly simple innovation can have—improving trust, usability, and the everyday crypto experience. Conor also sheds light on how integrating ENS with existing contract deployment tools could make it easier for developers to bring this to the mainstream, and we touch on the potential for DAOs and public goods funding to help drive adoption. 00:00 "Discovering Ethereum: A Tech Journey" 04:05 "Journey from Mining to Web3" 07:52 Innovating Beyond Established Block Explorers 12:01 "Digital Verification and Authenticity" 15:14 "Name Your Contracts Initiative" 18:52 ENS Name Resolution Challenges 22:47 Automating Naming in ENS Deployment 26:19 Streamlining Token Launch with ENS Integration 28:32 Ethereum's Decentralization vs. Super Apps 35:18 ENS Ecosystem Funding Initiatives 40:24 Subdomains: Untapped Potential in Communities 44:35 Enhancing Smart Contract Verification 48:21 Enhancing ENS for Safer Contracts 50:36 Trust Signals Beyond Audits 54:17 Careful Expansion of ENS Initiative 57:30 Pakistani Cuisine in London Links: Twitter Website Incentive Campaign Support the show This whole podcast can be found onchain, check out my page if you would like to mint this episode.
