S4E4 VeChain: A Sustainable Blockchain with a Purpose w. Sunny Lu
Blockchain Won't Save the World
03/09/24 • 53 min
How many Layer 1 Blockchains do you know that are mission-driven to support sustainability? VeChain might be the only one...
Not only that, they’re the only Blockchain whose whitepaper was co-authored by BCG. This is a serious team, with serious ambitions, and Sunny Lu joins us to answer YOUR questions.
Many Blockchains will say they are ‘sustainable’... Which is a common reference to the fact that their energy usage (through Proof of Stake Consensus) is 99% lower than Bitcoin’s. But are they driving change through enabling sustainability projects? VeChain are, and along with insights into the technology and the use cases, we talk about:
The history of VeChain
Why Blockchains uniquely benefit sustainability initiatives
Collaboration with BCG and how a top consultancy committed to writing a Web3 whitepaper
Blockchain incentive design, and how mature ‘X to Earn’ models have become in 2024
What more is needed to see wider use of Blockchain and decentralised technology
S4E7 Chainstack: Integrating Every Blockchain w. JJ Jager (CEO)
Blockchain Won't Save the World
04/19/24 • 56 min
Want to meet the man who's trying to integrate ALL the Blockchains? That's no mean feat. Jan-Jaap Jager is transforming Web3 and making it easier for anyone to build Dapps on one or many different chains...
We've said this before, but Web3 will never reach 'mass adoption' if applications are hard to develop, and we don't provide tooling for developers and teams who don't want to learn random Blockchain coding languages.
Step forward Chainstack! It is their mission to make Blockchain development and infrastructure easy to use, and to give developers and organisations as much choice as possible when it comes to starting and supporting their Web3 journeys. Public. Private. Subnets. APIs. It's all here...
In this show we'll cover:
The origins of Chainstack
The problems with building on Blockchains today
The importance of BaaS and SaaS for Web3 to scale
The most exciting or impactful use cases that Chainstack enables
What it takes to manage a portfolio of 25+ Blockchains
Advice to anyone looking to build Dapps or Blockchain offerings
S3E17 Kaleido: Plug & Play Blockchain (Web3 Doesn't Have to be Hard) w. Sophia Lopez & Steve Cerveny
Blockchain Won't Save the World
07/07/23 • 60 min
Kaleido has been consistently making it easier for anyone to use Web3 technology: multi-chain, across the stack, for B2B and B2C, but what more is needed to see Web3 scale if the technical barriers are being removed?... I'm joined by Sophia Lopez and Stephen Cerveny, the co-founders of Kaleido, who have been working relentlessly since 2015 to make it as easy as possible to stand-up Web3 tech. Just a few clicks and you're running and Ethereum node. A few more clicks are you've created a private network using Hyperledger Fabric. And more recently, Kaleido have included Polygon, Avalanche, ISO compliance, SOC2 compliance, and a whole lot more. There is literally no excuse for saying that setting up Blockchain technology is 'hard' any more...
In this episode we will talk about:
- The history of Kaleido, for those who don’t know
- What the team has been working on over the past few months
- Learnings from the past 12 months’ of Web3 (FTX, 3AC, Luna etc.) and the imperatives they give us for scaling Web3 in future
- The current state of ‘Enterprise Blockchain’ and emerging pockets of growth
- What went wrong with well know 'Gen 1' DLT projects that were shut down (SGX, B3i, We.Trade) and how we overcome similar challenges
- How can we enhance Developer Experience and make it easier for anyone to build in Web3
- How far we are away from delivering fully decentralised websites, apps and e-commerce

What does it take to grow a global Blockchain ecosystem? Listen to the Gnosis story and you'll find out. There's more to it than you think...

S3E20 Canton: The World's Most Ambitious Blockchain Network w. Yuval Rooz (CEO, Digital Asset)
Blockchain Won't Save the World
08/18/23 • 53 min
One of the most insightful shows EVER! Web3 is not about siloed, slow, monolithic databases. It’s about open, interoperable, innovative platforms available to all. And Canton Network promises to be the missing link to connect the world’s global financial system with Blockchain.
Canton only recently announced its whitepaper and vision, but has already made quite an impact. With tech companies and financial giants like Goldman Sachs, Deloitte and Microsoft as founding members, there’s some serious scale and value already accessible to the network.
I’m joined by Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset, and one of the architects of Canton, who will give us the full story of how Canton was formed, how he plans to construct a decentralised network of DLTs across the globe, and what’s in it for the average citizens of Earth...
In this show we talk about:
- The history of Digital Asset and recent DA projects
- Canton’s vision and how the consortium was started
- The Canton problem statements: 1. Lack of privacy (all data published to all nodes) 2. Unpredictable fees / competition for block space
- How Canton technology compare to other options for Financial Services e.g. DLTs (Corda, Fabric), Public Chains (Ethereum, Ripple), or traditional APIs
- How Canton creates value for consortium members
- How Canton can foster open innovation, in the spirit of DeFi / Public networks
- The next steps on the Canton roadmap
S4E6 Filecoin & a DePIN Masterclass w. Porter Stowell
Blockchain Won't Save the World
04/05/24 • 53 min
DePIN is a sector where Blockchain tech is having a major impact. We talk this, and Filecoin’s 6-year history with Porter Stowell.
Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks: In short, the democratisation of compute, storage, communication and more. Optimising existing industrial-grade infrastructure and also allowing individuals to participate in a P2P sharing economy. Sound interesting and disruptive? It is.
Amazon and Google aren’t exactly quaking in their boots, but they’re watching with interest, and have been making moves in Web3 to make sure their legacy businesses doesn’t get blindsided by Blockchain.
Filecoin has been leading the charge, particularly in storage, since 2017 and was one of the most love projects from Web3’s previous growth cycle. Porter gives us his take on the emergence of DePIN, what it REALLY takes to scale viable decentralised networks, as well as:
A Filecoin 101 for those who are new here
How to manage supply and demand in DePIN networks
The art of the ‘deal’ for B2B, large-scale storage
What more is needed for DePIN networks to become attractive to enterprises and a wider user base
S2E17 - No Canada, No Blockchain: The Amazing Origin Story
Blockchain Won't Save the World
05/20/22 • 103 min
It's the last destination of Season 2 before a very special 'Finale' episode, and where better to go than the country that many credit for being the birthplace of the Blockchain movement: Canada... Yes, Canada... Canada has had a surprisingly significant influence from the original Bitcoin white paper, to the founding of Ethereum, Crypto Kitties, the Blockchain Research Institute and much more...
While Canadians are famously modest about their achievements, I'm going to do my civic duty and shine a light on the impressive Blockchain projects, the people and associations behind the rise of Blockchain in Canada. This might just be the most enlightening show we've ever produced, and we've got a VERY special guest speaker for this episode's Bonus Round!
We include speakers from leading Blockchain organisations like Stellar, Shyft, Linux Foundation, Hut 8 Mining, Shopify, Guild One, Veritree, Deloitte, MHH Technology Group, Blockchain Supply Chain Association and Global University Systems; as well as leading academic institutions like ICTC, George Brown College, and the University of British Columbia... Oh, and a rather significant guest speaker...
A veteran of 7 MILLION Ted Talk views, author of the most-read book on Blockchain, and founder of the Blockchain Research Institute: it's the legendary Don Tapscott! Do not miss the chance to hear the great man's take on the good and the bad of Blockchain in Canada, and what more is needed to scale Blockchain technology in Canada and around the world.
Shout out to my other guests: Alexis Pappas, Amy Ter Haar, Derrick Emsley, Emma Todd, Erik Valiquette, George Petrovic, Hilary Carter, Jaime Leverton, Janine Moir, John S. Lee, Joseph Weinberg, Louisa Bai, Marc Lijour, and Vicki Lemieux.
