For this week’s Tuesday episode where we chat with a web3 expert, we’re playing a recording of our discussion live on stage with Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of the Solana blockchain, at TechCrunch Disrupt. We chatted with Yakovenko about:

Solana’s plans to launch a web3-focused smartphone and whether it can take on tech giants Apple and Google in mobile
The lack of women in the web3 space and what blockchain leaders could (and should) be doing to fix that
Whether Yakovenko is more afraid of competition from new layer-one upstarts or incumbent market leaders such as Ethereum
