Web 3 Native

“I see Etherscan as an encyclopedia and Nansen as a newspaper.” We speak with Alex, CEO and Co-Founder of Nansen. Nansen is a platform that helps inform crypto investors on their investment decisions with simplified on-chain analytics and wallet labels. We discuss the company's decentralization plans, role in the crypto data landscape, and where Nansen is headed in the future (NFTs?)

We chat with Instadapp founder Sowmay Jain to talk about Instadapp's newly-distributed, airdropped INST token dedicated to decentralizing the protocol. Learn how Instadapp incentivised and distributed INST to lower-net-worth individuals to participate in governance, why it was distributed to Aave/Compound/MakerDAO users, and Sowmay's vision for Instadapp's progressive decentralization.

This episode features Rebecca Liao, co-founder and CEO of Saga, a chain for launching chains. For Web3 builders considering launching their own dedicated chains, Saga’s selling proposition is its ability to allow developers to set up their own dedicated blockchain, known as “chainlets”, as easily as deploying smart contracts, and then scale in a “pay as you go” model. Saga also aims to be interoperable beyond Cosmos ecosystem. LongHash Ventures participated in their recently closed seed round. You can read more about why we invested in Saga here: bit.ly/3CpekMg
