  1. Frax Finance on the Next Stablecoin Era: FraxUSD, Fraxtal, and Onchain Payments

    JAN 7

    Frax Finance on the Next Stablecoin Era: FraxUSD, Fraxtal, and Onchain Payments

    Stablecoins, Frax Finance, FraxUSD, tokenized treasuries, onchain payments, and stablecoin infrastructure — in this episode of Let’s Ride, we sit down with Sean Kelley, who leads partnerships and comms at Frax Finance, to unpack Frax’s vision for what they call the stablecoin operating system. Sean breaks down how FraxUSD works today (including its fully backed design using tokenized treasuries), why Frax is investing in FraxNet (mint/redeem rails across 20+ chains), and how Fraxtal fits into the long-term roadmap as a network where FRAX is burned as gas.  In this episode, we cover: Frax’s “stablecoin operating system” strategy: FraxUSD + Fraxtal + FraxNet How FraxUSD is backed (WisdomTree, SuperState, BlackRock tokenized treasury products) and where to verify reserves The difference between Frax’s earlier stablecoin era and today’s fully backed model “Building from first principles” — what that means in practice for DeFi builders How Frax thinks about incentives, sustainable growth, and avoiding short-term farming dynamics bmx-marketing-teams-studio_copy… Why payments rails and real-world usage are the next major stablecoin frontier Sean’s view on breaking the USDT/USDC stablecoin duopoly and what “winning” looks like for Frax in 2026 If you’re trying to understand where stablecoins are going next — DeFi liquidity, transparent reserves, cross-chain rails, and real-world payments — this episode is a must-listen.

    Building Regenerative Finance & Climate-Positive Stablecoins with Azos Finance

    Climate-positive stablecoins, regenerative finance, and real-world impact onchain — in this episode of Let’s Ride, we’re joined by Penguin and 0xJoshua, the builders behind Azos Finance and AZUSD, a stablecoin designed to fund climate-positive outcomes while remaining fully onchain.   We dive into how Azos is rethinking stablecoin design from first principles — moving beyond passive capital toward a model that actively supports regenerative finance (ReFi). Penguin and 0xJoshua break down how AZUSD works, how climate impact is measured and verified, and why aligning financial infrastructure with real-world outcomes is becoming increasingly important for the next phase of DeFi. In this episode, we explore: What makes AZUSD a climate-positive stablecoin How regenerative finance (ReFi) differs from traditional DeFi models The role of transparency and onchain verification in impact-driven finance Why stablecoins are a powerful entry point for real-world use cases How Azos Finance is bridging crypto infrastructure with climate action This conversation offers a grounded look at how stablecoins can evolve beyond payments and trading — toward purpose-driven financial primitives that support long-term sustainability. 🎧 Tune in to learn how Azos Finance is building climate-aligned infrastructure for the onchain economy.

    Ether.fi | Restaking, Real-World Payments & The Future of Onchain Banking

    Restaking, real-world payments, and the rise of onchain neobanking - that’s the focus of today’s conversation with Rok Kopp, COO of Ether.fi. In this episode of Let’s Ride, we explore how Ether.fi is transforming restaking from a purely DeFi-native concept into something your family could actually use in their daily financial lives.

  4. Tokenomics Explained Simply: The Blueprint Behind Every Crypto Asset

    12/06/2025

    Tokenomics Explained Simply: The Blueprint Behind Every Crypto Asset

    Supply, market cap, emissions, FDV, utility, vesting, real value, and how to spot red flags. In this episode of Unwrapped, we break down the blueprint behind every crypto asset so you can finally understand what makes a token sustainable… and what sends it straight toward zero. We start with the fundamentals: Why a 1¢ token isn’t “cheap” if the supply is massive How to compare market cap vs. FDV and the traps beginners fall into What inflation/emissions really are — and how they silently destroy value How lockups, cliffs, and vesting schedules work (and how teams hide dilution) Why token utility — not hype — creates actual demand The difference between real value (fees, onchain activity) vs. inflationary value (printed tokens) Then we apply everything to a real-world case study: how BMX designed the BMX token and wBLT + Deli Swap ecosystem using zero emissions, real value capture, and user-aligned incentives. We walk through concepts like: Burned minting contracts and hard-capped supply Fee-backing and wrapped ETH rewards for stakers Multiplier points that reward long-term participation How Deli Swap routes trades for best execution — even if it means forfeiting its own fee — and why that matters for ecosystem health By the end, you’ll know how to look at any crypto project and immediately understand whether its tokenomics are sustainable, extractive, or hiding major risks under the hood. 🎧 This is your complete beginner-friendly guide to reading tokenomics the right way. #Tokenomics #CryptoEducation #DeFi #Unwrapped #BMX #DeliSwap #wBLT #FDV #MarketCap #OnchainValue #ZeroEmissions #CryptoBeginners #Base

    Onchain auctions, token launches, price discovery, and GBM’s win-win IDA model - this episode of Let’s Ride dives into the future of how assets are launched and valued onchain. We’re joined by Hugo, CEO and co-founder of GBM Auctions, to break down the mechanics behind GBM’s real-time “bid and earn” system and the explosive success of their Initial Distribution Auction (IDA).
