Deadfellaz is one of the most exciting NFT projects out there. So exciting that their founders are now represented by the Hollywood top-notch agents from UTA, to oversee the present and future of their 10,000 “undead” NFTs (among whom Elijah Wood and the rapper Lil Baby).Meeting her the day after she undoxxed herself, we are stoked to be chatting with Betty, who’s the co-founder and horde mother of Deadfellaz. In an intense, Veecon-surrounded conversation (sorry for the background noise, Gary Vee just pumped up the volume), 30 minutes conversation, discover how the pandemic led her and Psych to NFTs, and how they created the first DeadFellaz in less than 5 minutes, how to sustain interest among the NFT community when entering a possible bear market and how the right storytelling can turn the DeadFellaz into the new Avengers, her biggest NFT regret and why she decided to undox herself.

From farm acres to crypto. Launched in 2021, 10T was the first major fund to invest in digital assets companies (including Ledger, of course). Since then, it has taken part on such projects as Yuga Labs or Ledger, led by the geniusWhat is a macro-investor and why a good macro-investor is a... story-investor, why he bought the 2018 dip and why 10T stands for a 10 trillions market cap - why it’s a bad habit to think of how to exit a company even before you enter it...

On The Ledger, we have often met with people who got started in crypto or NFTs and thrived from there. But what about people who’re massively successful in their career and THEN turn to Web3? What does this new space bring to their business?Our guest today did just that. After an early career in finance, she became an icon by founding Boss Beauty with her two sisters. Both a successful entrepreneur and influencer, Huda Kattan is now followed by more than 50 million people - on Instagram only. 50 million people who recently discovered her passion for NFTs.But why? What does it bring to her daily professional life? And why does she have so many Ledgers? In a one to one interview with our Chief Experience Officer, mr Ian Rogers, Huda Kattan is our guest today.

How to build a software business tailor made for the new NFT ecosystem from... a simple Google (r) form?Our guest Brenden Mulligan invented a way for the NFT creators to choose the way their art is distributed, starting by making sure purchasers are real humans and not just scripts, leading to a project enhancing digital sovereignty for artists but that can also be used as a powerful market analysis tool... which has now reached more than 3 million registrations.How to make sure you sell your new project out (without causing a gas war), why it isn’t always a bad thing to sell to bots and not just to diamond hands, how to keep track of every premint list you’ve tried to get on (the find out which is the next one you should be aiming for): the answer of all of those questions and to a couple more is on this new episode of On The Ledger, with Brenden Mulligan, Founder of Premint, and Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger.

Imagine that you’re in a space where you can create and be rewarded for that. Where you can build a community, and be rewarded for that.Social media and Web2 have democratized access to community building at scale. And now Web3 and digital assets are supercharging that with the ability to align the financial incentives of each participant. It’s like a facebook group with a shared bank account! The possibilities are endless.So, today we meet with someone who explore them all. Someone who is only 27 but already “sounds old” as he has done so much in the space. A genius at creating memes, telling stories and building communities, which makes him the perfect “middle child of the web3 world.” Someone who regretted to be too late for crypto in 2014, but enjoyed being early for NFTs in 2021. Today, On the Ledger meets with Farokh Sarmad, the founder and CEO of Rug Radio, “the first fully decentralized media platform.”Sit back, relax, and learn on how to pick your first NFT, why web3 is a space that makes impossible ideas become possible, how to educate yourself in crypto and how hard it is to see yourself in 15 years when you have no idea where you will be in 15 minutes.

Composability is a major component of web3, where creators can combine different components together into larger structures. A bit like Legos, but with crypto, finance, or... art. With NFTs, artists can indeed unleash their creativity and merge different disciplines together to provide their communities with unique experiences.This is exactly what our guest today does. After 20 years in the music industry, Jeff Nicholas is now the creative director of WarpSound, and leads WVRPS - a new NFT project that can be described as hybrid of generative PFP art, AI-composed music minted on the Ethereum blockchain.Want to find out how machines and humans can collaborate to enter a new era for music composition and distribution? Want to know when DJ and AI will be able to do back-to-back dj sets (spoiler: they already do)? Want to know how it feels to sell your Bored Ape too early? Then sit back, relax, and listen to this new episode of On the Ledger. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Staking. This is a word that might sound scary, even if you’re crypto-advanced, either because it is too complex or inaccessible. How much crypto do I need? What is a delegator? How to choose a node? What are the risks, and how to prevent them? This is where Figment comes in. Figment is a blockchain infrastructure and services provider that makes it simple for token holders and enterprises to participate in Proof of Stake. And the good news is - Ledger users will now be able to access Figment’s services directly from within the security of the Ledger ecosystem. To cover all our staking questions, including why proof of stake over proof of work, what is slashing, how to stake safely and why Ledger is the ultimate place to do so, we are thrilled to have Lorien Gabel, Figment Co-Founder and CEO, and Charles Hamel, VP Product at Ledger, on this new episode of On The Ledger.

We are living the days of an artistic and cultural renaissance. Thanks to Blockchain technology, for the first time in history digital ownership is a possibility. And that changes everything. We can now own keys, create contracts and distribute assets. We are also free to port them over to different environments, which means that we can be digitally sovereign. How does this impact you and why is it important? Big questions that demand big answers.On this episode of On The Ledger, we are thrilled to talk to the crypto art curator and the founder & CEO of Universe Contemporary, Lady Pheønix, and to our VP of NFTs at Ledger, Parker Todd Brooks. A step by step guide for artists (and more) creating their NFTs in less than 45 minutes: this is your new episode of On The Ledger. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s always been part of Ledger’s DNA to encourage internal and external developers to enrich our ecosystem. We made our code open-source, and available to any external developers. Which resulted in third-party developers submitting most of the coin applications and then blockchains that you currently use on your Ledger device. We engaged with the team behind one of the biggest blockchains out there, one that took 2021 by storm thanks to its transaction speed, low fees, energy efficiency and of course, developer activity. We are obviously talking about Solana. After a few weeks, and with a single developer working on the integration, Solana is now available on Ledger Live. But how? This is exactly what we’ll be diving into today.How to build with Ledger? How to make the Ledger hardware wallets as easy as possible to connect to the steadily growing Solana ecosystem, how to be “safe by default”? In this episode of On The Ledger, we meet with Dan Albert, executive director of the Solana Foundation (go check their devs meet-ups at https://solana.com/events ), and Fabrice Dautriat, Head of Ledger’s Developer Ecosystem, to discuss the future of Solana, whether it their future payment solution or… more integrations with Ledger, starting with staking, and, soon enough, NFT support.

That’s the kind of episode we look forward to weeks in advance. This is the inspiring story of someone who taught himself how to use 3D art software in his free time while working at a restaurant. Since then, he has sold over 2000 NFTs for about 9 million dollars and worked with some of the biggest names in fashion and entertainment, despite (or thanks to) the fact that “s*cks at doing what other people want but does great at doing what he wants”. Last year he went from creating art to building a community and today he’s about to invite us into his metaverse, LVCIDIA. We’re obviously talking about Fvckrender. Together we’ll discuss his story, projects, dream collab and why patience is more important than money. This is On the Ledger entering the world of Fvckrender. Hosted on Acast.
