How Ethereum is preparing for the AI takeover?
In this episode, I sat down with @escottalexander from the @ethereumfndn to explore one of the most important frontiers in crypto today, the convergence of AI agents & Ethereum.
We dive into Elliott’s journey into the ecosystem, the role of ERC-8004, and why trust, reputation, and verifiability are becoming foundational for autonomous AI systems operating onchain.
The convo also covers how the Ethereum Foundation approaches developer onboarding, what a typical day inside EF looks like, and why emerging markets, especially India, could play a pivotal role in Ethereum’s next growth phase. 🇮🇳

What's next for Avantis?
In this episode, me & @parthm71 sat down with @314yush, who leads growth at @Avantisfi, to unpack how modern perp DEXs are actually built, grown, and scaled.
The convo goes deep into Avantis' UX decisions, LP incentives, community building, and what it takes to execute a successful TGE in today’s market.
We also covered why Avantis is focusing heavily on @Baseapp, how product experience has evolved over time, and what’s coming next on their roadmap!
If you’re building, trading, or just trying out Avantis, this one’s worth your time.

This year had its fair share of highs and lows but we leaned into all of it and still shipped work we’re proud of.
And trust us, this was just the warm-up.
We’re taking everything to the next level in 2026.
Stay tuned.
DuneCon in Buenos Aires was a vibeee! 🇦🇷
Me & @parthm71 managed to sit down with @mewwts, cofounder of @Dune, that turned into one of my favorite convos so far.
We went deep into how Dune was born, how they cracked PMF, what they’ve learned building through multiple market cycles, and how AI is reshaping the future of analytics.
If you’re a builder, designer, researcher, or just someone who loves watching great products evolve, this one’s worth your time.
