My guest today is Stephane Gosselin. Stephane co-founded the MEV pirate dev collective Flashbots, which he left in late 2022. His new project, OneBalance, is a framework that substantially reimagines how blockchain accounts are created and managed.

In this episode, Stephane and I dive into the lifecycle of an Ethereum transaction today, and the growing number of paths a user's intentions may take to ultimately be expressed onchain.

We then dive into OneBalance, Stephane and Ankit Chiplunkar's new account framework that decouples accounts from global consensus machines, in an effort to bundle user state across all chains in a unified wrapper called a Credible Account.

It was exciting to speak with Stephane about OneBalance's paradigmatic refresh on the notion of accounts at such an early stage in the project's development. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guest today is Kosuke Hata aka July, founder of Faust.

Faust is a nascent hardware startup working at the intersection of distributed sensing, blockchains, and self driving. The team is composed of engineers from automotive and machine learning engineering projects at Google, Apple, and Tesla.

On this episode, July shares background about the self-driving and robotics industry gleaned from his years of experience working at Kittyhawk, Larry Page's flying car moonshot startup. July also shares some of the prototypes Faust has built, and gives a glimpse into how robotics, blockchains, and networking will coincide over the next few years.

It was fantastic getting a chance to chat with July about everything Faust. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guest today is Cassandra Heart, founder of Quilibrium and part-time contributor at Merkle Manufactory, creators of Farcaster.

On today's episode, Cassie and I dive into Quilibrium, a decentralized platform as a service protocol that aims to enable developers to store data and run uncensorable apps.

We discuss Cassie's extensive background building cryptography products, and how this experience and the myriad cryptographic developments since the advent of Bitcoin and Ethereum enable a new type of world computer. We touch on various technical aspects of Quilibrium's architecture, and zoom out to see how these pieces create a substantially new virtual medium for software.

It was great getting to know more about Quilibrium from it's Benevolent Dictator, Cassie. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guests today is Jong-Kai Yang, founder of HackMD.



HackMD is a multiplayer plain text editor on the web. People use HackMD to collaborate on text notes, share read-only documentation, and collect feedback from commenters. HackMD plays especially nicely with markdown and other common markup languages, making the documents one produces in HackMD highly portable.



On this episode, Jong-Kai explains the origins of HackMD and how people are using HackMD today. We learn how HackMD situates itself amidst other tools in the space, and Jong-Kai shares some lesser known features hidden inside.



It was great getting to know more about HackMD and the team that's building it. I hope you enjoy the show

My guest today is Luke Miles, creator of rug.fun, meme.market, mint.fun, and context.app.

On this episode, Luke and I run through the history of applications he's created on Ethereum and the EVM. We discuss the recent sale of mint.fun to zora, and go in depth on his two latest memecoin related projects, meme.market and rug.fun.

It was a pleasure catching up with Luke who is shipping thought provoking experimental apps and games on the EVM. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guests today are 0xTranqui aka Max and Salief Lewis, two of the four co-founders of Lifeworld, the startup that's creating River.

River is a blockchain media protocol. In its launch configuration, users can sign in with Privy, register accounts on a smart contract on Optimism, and post references to IPFS-hosted media as calldata to a smart contract on Arbitrum Nova. The team's first-party UI, river.ph, evokes social media collection website are.na.

It was great getting to know more about River at such an early stage. I hope you enjoy the show.
