41 - Building Better Communities with DeFi, with Niran Babalola from Panvala

On today’s episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Niran Babalola, founder at Panvala, a donation matching fund for communities that runs on its own cryptocurrency.

We talk to Niran about his first experiences with crypto and early days as a volunteer for the Augur project, and how resources like the ETH documentation and Buterin’s early blog posts helped him get a handle on the tech before there was much content around it.

We discuss how DeFi will affect community life now and in the future, and how the idea for Panvala came about. Niran explains how the communities within Panvala work, how people can get involved, and how Panvala will reach out to mainstream users to grow.

We also talk about how the crypto space could build more communities in the coming years, and how donation matching projects can help the decentralized community make a real-world impact.
