Scaling Web3 Social Media with Stani Kulechov

Stani Kulechov is the Founder of Aave and Lens protocols. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview this legendary DeFi founder. Having built Aave into one of the world's largest DeFi protocols with an all-time high of $30B TVL, Stani made the bold move in 2021 to jumpstart another wildly challenging Web3 startup that would deliver a self-sovereign alternative to social media–called Lens. Lens is a decentralized composable social layer. You can think of it as "not your keys, not your follower graph" and it has proven to be the most foundational lego in the decentralized social stack jumpstarting a Web3 alternative to apps like Twitter and YouTube. Stani joins us to talk about their recently announced scaling solution for decentralized social called Momoka.

Why India Is Poised For A Gaming Boom

Roby John is the CoFounder and CEO of SuperGaming. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview the founder of the "Epic Games of India," SuperGaming. Roby explains how India's population of 1.4 billion with 450 million gamers playing battle royale games, and the most accessible cheap internet in the world has delivered the perfect storm for India to be the epicenter of the next gaming boom! When you talk with Roby, it feels like his career has been building towards this moment. Once a founder of an educational software startup, and now a repeat builder of the most downloaded games in India, their upcoming Indo-futuristic game called Indus is poised to deliver a gaming franchise that celebrates Indian culture by "building the Wakanda of India." Having recently met with Apple's Tim Cook during his widely publicized visit to India, Roby is the perfect guide to help us understand why India could become the center of the gaming universe and how SuperGaming, with 200 million users across its games, is implementing Web3 into games like Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition. ------ πŸ“Ί If you prefer video, watch episodes of The Edge Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNzMl-Xdbc4YfQcYdy96wgTAWoMr-3b-j THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED. ------ 🌲 LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod πŸ”Ž DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ βœ… FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad βœ… FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources πŸ—οΈ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY https://linktr.ee/mantle.xyz βš–οΈ KYBERSWAP | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR AND AMM https://kyberswap.com/ πŸ“ˆ GTRADE | DECENTRALIZED LEVERAGE TRADING https://gains.trade/ πŸ₯‘ INSTADAPP | CHECK OUT THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET https://avocado.instadapp.io/ ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS https://www.utopialabs.com/ 🌊 STADER | MULTICHAIN LIQUID STAKING https://staderlabs.com/ πŸš€ LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE https://www.liquity.org/ πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Samyak Jain is the CoFounder of Instadapp. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview one of the earliest and most respected builders in DeFi. Sam and his brother Sowmay Jain have an epic story to tell going back to 2019, when they won an ETHGlobal hackathon building what is now known as Instadapp. Instadapp is a rich platform for both users and developers to leverage the full potential of DeFi. With Instadapp, you have access to the most powerful flashloan recipes allowing users to create leveraged positions and move them across the most popular DeFi protocols, in just a few clicks. Since 2018, Instadapp has been trusted with as much as $13B in value deposited at once in its smart contracts. Today, we discuss their latest innovation--Avocado, a smart contract wallet enabling what's known as network abstraction, gas abstraction, and account abstraction. Buckle up because this podcast is packed with new information that you won't find elsewhere, about the future of Instadapp and DeFi! ------ πŸ“Ί To watch this episode of The Edge Podcast on Youtube with Sam's demo of Avocado, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@defidad THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED. ------ 🌲 LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod πŸ”Ž DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ βœ… FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad βœ… FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources πŸ—οΈ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY βš–οΈ KYBERSWAP | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR AND AMM πŸ“ˆ GTRADE | DECENTRALIZED LEVERAGE TRADING ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS 🌊 STADER | MULTICHAIN LIQUID STAKING πŸš€ LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?

Gaming Reimagined with NOR

Brooks Brown is the Founder and CEO of NOR. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview a creative with 18 years of experience working on some of the most iconic brands and franchises in the world, including Avatar and Star Wars. After an illustrious career at places like LucasArts and James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment working with AAA console and mobile game studios, Brooks has set his sights on reimagining game with a greater sense of "permanence," or as he puts it, where "death and winning matter again..." Despite pushback from legacy gamers on crypto and NFTs, Brooks believes Web3 is the key to unlocking a world of gaming he's always dreamed of--where there's real skin in the game, where anyone is truly free to play and rise up through the ranks. Similar to professional sports, but where everything is on the line. For example, an NFT that represents all your winnings, stats, and reputation lost to your competitor in a final match! We talk about what's broken in gaming today, why monetization isn't the enemy, and how NOR is designing a gaming platform to truly test the grit of its players each season, as they compete on a playing field that more closely mirrors the highest level of competition in professional sports.

Degen Decentralized Leverage Trading with Gains Network

Seb is the anonymous Founder of Gains Network protocol and its decentralized leverage trading platform, gTrade. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview the increasingly popular anonymous DeFi founder behind gTrade, which grew in 2022 despite the market headwinds in the crypto space. Seb isn't one to seek media attention and has done few interviews outside of the Gains Network Discord but he kindly shared his insights and strategy building a top decentralized leveraged trading dApp that might someday outcompete with centralized exchanges. gTrade has been making waves in DeFi with features like 1-click trading and up to 150x leverage on cryptos, 1000x on forex, 50x on stocks, 35x on indices, and 250x on commodities. More importantly, to offer some edge in understanding gTrade's ambitious mission, we dissect every aspect of the gTrade trading platform as well as the GNS tokenomics which underpin gTrade's operation, such as the 20% deflation in the supply of GNS, due to GNS being burnt from gTrade trading activity. THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED. ------ πŸ™ The Edge Podcast is produced by 4RC Labs.
