10/14/22 • 57 min

Today I’m speaking with Chris Castig, Co-Founder at Console, a crypto-native chat platform for Bitcoin and Ethereum. In addition to his work at Console, Chris has an interesting background that includes working at Trust Machines, teaching at Columbia Business School, and founding One Month, an online video-learning platform.
My conversation with Chris covers a lot of different topics, from his background as an entrepreneur, the importance of community, and a topic I’ve never explored before on the podcast: building dApps on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Tachi - Co-Founder & CEO at Playgrounds Analytics

Today I’m speaking with Tachi, Co-Founder and CEO at Playgrounds Analytics, a data solutions platform built upon The Graph that provides serverless on-chain data infrastructures and services for data teams, analysts, and engineers.
This is a remarkable conversation for several reasons. First, Tachi’s perspective as a control systems engineer provides several unique insights about The Graph, blockchain, and web3. Additionally, Tachi’s professional background in nuclear energy and the space industry is super interesting.
During our conversation, we have fun talking about Tachi’s background, including some discussion of clean energy and the crypto industry, space exploration and UFOs, and then we talk about The Graph and Web3 – I think Tachi’s descriptions of the blockchain ecosystem and The Graph are some of the best you will ever hear.

Today I’m speaking with Nico Vergauwen, Founder at Tenderize, a liquid staking solution for Web3 middleware. Prior to launching Tenderize, Nico worked as a protocol engineer at Livepeer, launched Livepool (a precursor to Tenderize), and worked as a consultant.
Tenderize has garnered a lot of attention recently within The Graph ecosystem and throughout Web3. As you will hear, Tenderize specializes in offering liquidity to those who stake their tokens in middleware projects.
During our discussion, Nico talks about his background and entry into Web3, his time at Livepeer and where the idea for Tenderize was born, and then we talk extensively about how Tenderize works and how Delegators at The Graph could use it.
