#422: Seb, CEO of Sophon, on The Secret for Mass Adoption, High-quality Sticky Apps, AI Agents, and Sophon’s Curation Model

Seb is the founder and CEO of Sophon, the Consumer chain bridging Web2 to Web3 and the largest blockchain node sale, raising $65 million.  He also serves as VP of Paper Ventures. He was previously at Matter Labs, the creators of ZKsync. 

In this conversation, we discuss:
- Why is the market down bad? Trump trying to cut rates
- US Bitcoin reserve - won’t be buying Bitcoin anytime soon
- Mass adoption won’t happen by convincing people to use crypto
- Mass adoption = better internet products, powered by the benefits of having an onchain backend
- Gaming, social, AI, prediction markets = crypto goes mainstream
- Why the current crypto UX is broken
- Sophon’s curation model - focuses on high-quality, sticky applications
- The financialization of culture
- Data drives our modern economies
- Sophon Intelligence Agency - $5M for on-chain AI agents
- The social oracle
- Sophon’s data hub
