When it comes to blockchain, the thing people talk about most — the price — is actually the least interesting part. Crypto conversations are too often about who’s up and who’s down, what to buy and what to sell, and today’s drama on Twitter. Most conversations about crypto miss how it’s going to change ... everything. On VALIDATED, we’ll be talking to the people who are rethinking the internet — and our world. No hype cycles. No financial advice. Just conversations on the biggest ideas shaping the future of the internet. Web3 is complicated, but never boring.

    Blinks and Actions w/ Jon Wong (Solana Foundation) and Chris Osborn (Dialect)

    In this episode, Austin chats with Jon Wong (Solana Foundation) and Chris Osborn (Dialect) about the development of and use cases for Blinks and Solana Actions. Blinks, short for "blockchain links," allow users to take direct "Actions" on the Solana blockchain such as swapping tokens, donating, or voting on governance directly from a link on platforms like X. This technology integrates with Chrome extension wallets like Phantom and Backpack, rendering these interactions seamlessly in the browser. The conversation highlights the rapid adoption and excitement within the developer community around these new features, the security model ensuring safe transactions, and the future potential for mobile integration and expanding Blinks’ functionality across other web platforms.

    Turning BTC into a Programable Asset on Solana w/ Justin Wang (Zeus Network)

    In this episode of Validated, Justin discusses the intersection of Bitcoin and Solana, particularly focusing on the work his team is doing at Zeus. Unlike previous integrations that create liquidity bridges like TBTC, Zeus is building a new communication layer, termed as 'Layer 1.5,' to enable programmability for Bitcoin and other non-programmable UTXO chains on Solana. Justin explains that Zeus does not support fragmentation on Layer 1, advocating for seamless usability through Solana's RPC. Zeus employs nodes using multi-party computation (MPC) models for security, safeguarding assets while enabling their use within Solana's ecosystem. The discussion includes detailed technical insights on how Zeus manages transactions, secures assets using Taproot addresses, and coordinates through its nodes. Justin shares his vision for the future of web3 applications that could leverage Zeus to build more integrated and functional decentralized apps, implying a strong potential for Solana to interact with various Proof of Work (PoW) chains. Upcoming initiatives, such as the Apollo project and prospective hackathons, aim to bring more developers into the fold to innovate using this new layer.

    How Zeta Markets’ L2 Makes a DEX Feel Like a CEX w/ Tristan Frizza

    In this episode, Austin chats with Tristan Frezza about Zeta Markets, a decentralized perps trading platform on Solana. Tristan shares insights on Zeta's inception in early 2021 and their mission to bring Nasdaq-like derivatives markets on-chain. The conversation delves into the technical challenges of building such a platform in a fully decentralized manner, the benefits and drawbacks of different trading mechanisms, and the ongoing development of Zeta Markets' L2 solution optimized for high-speed trading. Tristan elaborates on the importance of transparency, security, and the philosophical approach of open DeFi systems, as well as future plans to enhance Zeta's trading infrastructure. The discussion also touches on the performance issues and computational models that make Zeta competitive with centralized exchanges.

    How Gameshift's API Is Simplifying web3 Game Development w/ Davis Hart (Solana Labs)

    In this episode, Austin chats with Davis Hard (Solana Labs) to talk about GameShift, a new API designed to streamline blockchain integration for game developers on Solana. GameShift aims to simplify the process of incorporating blockchain elements into games by providing a Rust-based API that intermediates between the game and the blockchain, reducing the need for developers to manage keys and do blockchain development themselves. Davis explains but the technicalities and practicalities of Gameshift, using current and future game projects as case studies. The conversation also touches on the broader context of Solana’s gaming ecosystem, the potential of meme coins in web3 gaming, and the hurdles remaining in the adoption of blockchain technology by traditional gaming studios.

    A Blockchain Dev's Guide to Leaving Cities w/ Austin Adams (Anagram)

    In this unconventional episode, Austin talks with Austin Adams of Anagram and Metaplex about his decision to leave urban life behind. Unlike most of his peers who work in major tech hubs, Adams has settled in rural Texas, where he spends his free time farming and operating his tractor. Their conversation explores the benefits and challenges of working on cutting-edge technology from a remote location, contrasting the ironic loneliness of city life with the sense of community found in rural living. Adams also offers insights into setting technology boundaries in his personal life and expresses his interest in bringing blockchain technology to blue-collar industries.
