    306: Real-World Energy, On-Chain: KW₳RXS, Cardano & Community-Owned Solar

    Sandro, founder of KW₳RXS, shares how his team is bringing utility-scale solar to chain via NFT membership passes that let anyone participate in project returns—without the usual high minimums. We cover: why Cardano (sustainability, security, decentralization), what on-chain access actually looks like (claimable pools, 10-year participation), and the nuts & bolts of real projects (e.g., a 51 MW Netherlands solar park with 20 MW battery storage powering ~35,000 homes). Sandro explains the surge of RWA interest, grid/storage realities, subsidies vs. open market power sales, and KW₳RXS Project Catalyst journey. We also talk expansion (NL, Austria, Italy, Germany), regulation (MiCA & Dubai VARA), and the roadmap: exhibitions, partnerships, and the goal to fund first parks directly on-chain.

    304: Dana Love (PoobahAI) — “The future of Web3 is coding without coders”

    Dana Love, founder of PoobahAI (exited 5 companies, PhD in economics), breaks down why Web3 lags mainstream adoption and how AI-built software can unlock the space: “the future of Web3 is coding without coders.” We cover: the zero→one grind, macro shifts (globalization → nationalization), inflation realities, and why blockchains need to drop the barrier to projects, devs, and users. Dana shares Poobah’s approach—virtual co-founder, multi-chain no/low-code, pre-audited on-chain digital objects, and real showcases (NFT ticketing, RWA real estate, car auction). We also talk go-to-market (students & exec MBAs), chain partnerships, and their seed round.

    305: Liquid-Yield Stablecoins & Sierra’s Diversified Strategy with Mitchell

    Mitchell, cofounder of Sierra Protocol, explains why most stablecoin yield goes to issuers—and how liquid-yield tokens can pass that yield to holders. We dig into where yield actually comes from (perp basis funding, over-collateralized lending, Pendle PTs, MM vaults), Sierra’s diversified reserve management and risk framework, and why utility (CeFi collateral, DeFi integrations, payments) matters as much as APR. We cover DeFi maturity (institutional UX, token value accrual), composability trends, cold-start tactics (permissionless DeFi + points), and Sierra’s roadmap: audit-passed launch, points, integrations, and a governance token airdrop by end of Q2 next year. If you care about stablecoins evolving beyond “zero yield,” this one’s for you. Timestamps [00:00] Mitchell’s path: economist → WOO Exchange → Sierra Protocol [00:02] The problem: stablecoin yield accrues to issuers (Tether/Circle) [00:04] What is a liquid-yield token? Yield sources & passing it to holders [00:05] Yield 101: perp basis (market-neutral), over-collateralized lending, others [00:08] Risk lenses: liquidity, credit, exchange, smart-contract, oracle; risk-adjusted yield [00:11] Utility matters: hold, borrow, LP, use as perp collateral, payments/cards, custodians [00:12] CeFi angle: posting yield-bearing collateral to offset funding costs [00:13] Cold start: permissionless DeFi integrations + points program incentives [00:15] Key differentiation: diversified reserve strategy, daily rebalancing, transparency [00:17] Macro: incumbents vs new yield-bearing stables; why users will demand yield [00:17] DeFi trends: new DeFi-centric L1/L2s, perp wars, deep composability (Pendle → Aave loops) [00:19] Pro UX & token value accrual (buybacks/fees) vs last cycle’s “free airdrop” era [00:21] DeFi maturity: institutional-grade UX, Coinbase x Morpho “DeFi mullet” [00:23] 10-year bets: stablecoins/tokenization & on-chain lending [00:25] Sierra’s focus: single product, massive utility (CeFi + DeFi), global access [00:28] Roadmap: ~Oct launch (audit-passed), integrations, points → governance token by end Q2 [00:30] The ask: users, partners (CeFi/DeFi/payments/custody), aligned investors Connect https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchell-w-nicholson/ https://sierra.money/ Be a guest on the podcast or contact us - https://www.web3pod.xyz/ DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    303: Adam from Wolf Coin on Curated Token Baskets, Team/Contract Audits & Real Utility on Solana

    Adam (advisor at Byrrgis, fka Wolf Coin) breaks down how the team is building a vetted DeFi investing platform on Solana: curated, whitelist-only “Packs” (think crypto index baskets) that include audited tokens across chains—plus fees that buy back & burn the Wolf token. We cover: Why most microcaps are risky, and how contract + team audits can filter the junk Packs: curated baskets by risk profile; Wolf token included to create structural demand Fees, buybacks & burns, staking, PnL automation, auto-rebalancing LI.FI aggregation for multi-chain swaps; roadmap to tokenized stocks/commodities Governance, fair-launch origins, and trust-building with transparent comms What top Web3 teams do differently (and why “build in public” still wins) Timestamps [00:00] Why micro/nanocaps are risky; the case for a vetted list [00:02] Adam’s path: Samsung B2B → community → advisor → Wolf/Byrrgis [00:04] Byrrgis in one line: vetted DeFi platform with curated Packs [00:05] How it differs from DEX listings/CEXs; whitelist-only tokens [00:06] Wolf token utility: included in most Packs + fees → buyback & burn [00:07] Beyond listing: analytics, PnL, auto & manual rebalancing [00:08] Fair launch via Pump.fun (no team pre-allocation); governance plans [00:10] Revenue: ~2% swap fee; LI.FI aggregator; staking to boost rewards [00:13] Example: how a Pack works vs vaults/index funds [00:16] Growth drivers: capital backing, consistent delivery, visible buybacks [00:18] Fundraising tip: show product first, ask for feedback, not money [00:20] Biggest hurdle: trust (self-hosted app, wallet connect) → win via transparency [00:22] Roadmap: tokenized stocks/indices, automated tax, contract & team audits [00:24] What winning teams do: nothing to hide, ship updates weekly, stay current [00:27] Call to action: join TG, kick the tires; try Packs post-launch Connect https://coin.byrrgis.app/ https://t.me/wolf_on_sol https://x.com/wolf_on_sol/photo Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

    302: Scaling trustlessness — John from Horizen Labs on ZK, rollups, and verification layers

    John, VP of Product at Horizen Labs, breaks down how Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) shift us from “trust” to “zero doubt.” We cover what ZK is (with an intuitive cave/password analogy), why ZK rollups matter, and how ZK Verify aims to be a dedicated, hyper-efficient proof-verification blockchain (think “B2B chain” living behind apps). We discuss tradeoffs (security/decentralization/throughput), SNARKs vs STARKs, real use cases (logins, proof of personhood, high-frequency trading privacy), why some things are over-hyped (prediction markets), and what’s next (mainnet, grants, API tools, and massive proof scalability). If you care about scaling Web3 without sacrificing trustlessness, this one’s for you. Timestamps [00:00] John’s path from banking product to ZK & Horizen Labs [00:03] What Horizen Labs builds; the through-line of ZK across products [00:05] ZK explained: proving without revealing (the cave & secret door) [00:08] Why ZK rollups: decongesting Ethereum and lowering gas [00:10] ZK Verify: a dedicated chain for proof verification (Celestia-style specialization) [00:13] Product vision: mainnet, throughput, efficiency; exploring more of the ZK stack [00:14] Who uses it: “B2B blockchain” for high-volume proofs (DEX/HFT, logins, identity) [00:16] The trilemma still exists; where ZK helps and where tradeoffs remain [00:18] SNARKs vs STARKs; trusted setups & security nuance [00:21] Scaling challenges: fast-moving ZK landscape; substrate upgrades; mainstream timing [00:24] Adoption: UX, stablecoins, institutions, and avoiding another FTX moment [00:31] “Zero doubt” > “trust”: why ZK removes the need to trust [00:32] Most over-hyped now? Prediction markets (and a caveat) [00:36] Roadmap: capacity, aggregation, sample apps, grants, dev onboarding [00:40] Ask: builders, followers, grant applicants, API users Connect https://horizenlabs.io/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/horizenlabs/ https://x.com/horizenlabs https://www.linkedin.com/in/johncamardo/ https://x.com/john_camardo Disclaimer Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.
