    Legion, Fair Fundraising & Return of the ICO

    In this episode, Sohejl sits down with Matty, co-founder of Legion, to talk about the evolving landscape of fundraising in crypto — and why the industry is moving away from chaotic ICOs toward more structured, merit-based token sales. Matty breaks down the risks of low float / high FDV launches, the problem with misaligned incentives between founders and investors, and how Legion is building a platform that rewards contribution over speculation. The conversation also covers regulatory compliance, the future role of VCs in Web3, and how the rise of AI and alternative fundraising models is changing how projects are built and funded. Whether you’re launching a project or investing in one, this episode unpacks the mechanics of modern token sales and where the industry is headed next. 📣📣📣 Building something exciting & want to come on the show or collaborate with us?  Email us at  👉👉 business@teachmedefi.de 👈👈 or DM us on X: https://www.twitter.com/teachmedefi 👉 Please share this if you learned something!

    From Bitcoin to Bittensor: Decentralized AI & the Future of Intelligence (w/ Frank Schuil)

    In this episode, we sit down with Frank, co-founder of Safello, the leading crypto exchange in the Nordics, to explore their bold decision to convert their entire Bitcoin and Ethereum treasury into Tao, the native token of Bittensor.Frank walks us through Safello’s 11-year journey since 2013, from surviving the Mt. Gox collapse to becoming a publicly listed company on Nasdaq First North. We dive deep into why they made the strategic shift from traditional crypto assets to Bittensor, and what makes this decentralized AI protocol so compelling.We unpack the mechanics of Bittensor: how it creates a decentralized incentive mechanism for AI development through subnets, each solving different problems. Frank explains the complex dynamics between miners, validators, and the newly introduced alpha tokens.We also explore the value flow between Tao and subnet alpha tokens, the challenges of the new tokenomics introduced in February, and why Frank sees Tao as a credible balance sheet asset for companies seeking exposure to decentralized AI.📣📣📣 Building something exciting & want to come on the show or collaborate with us?

    Liquidity as Code: Inside 1inch’s Strategy (w/ co-founder Anton Bukov)

    In this episode, we speak with Anton Bukov, co-founder of 1inch – one of the most widely used DeFi aggregators. Anton shares his journey from writing code on paper as a teenager to building one of the most sophisticated smart contracts during a hackathon with Vitalik Buterin, and how those early experiments shaped his engineering mindset. He explains how aggregation works in decentralized exchanges, why routing liquidity is an optimization problem, and how 1inch protects users even when integrated protocols are compromised. We also cover the rise of decentralized exchanges versus centralized ones, how institutions are beginning to adopt DeFi, and the role of stablecoins in settlements. Anton gives a look at 1inch’s broader strategy – from its wallet and payment card to institutional integrations – and outlines where he sees DeFi heading over the next 12 to 24 months. 📣📣📣 Building something exciting & want to come on the show or collaborate with us?  Email us at  👉👉 business@teachmedefi.de 👈👈 or DM us on X: https://www.twitter.com/teachmedefi 👉 Please share this if you learned something!

    Parallel Universes & Bitcoin: How Quantum Computing Will Break Bitcoin

    What happens when quantum computing collides with Bitcoin? In this episode, we talk to Alex Pruden, co-founder of Project 11, about why the current cryptographic foundations of blockchain may not survive the next computing wave. We dig into what quantum computers actually are, how they break traditional cryptography, and why digital signatures — the backbone of crypto ownership — are at risk. Alex also breaks down Project 11 and the Q Day Prize, which tracks real progress toward quantum machines that could one day break Bitcoin. From gas fees to multiverse theory, this episode touches on both the practical and the existential.
