![]() ![]() It's almost a foregone conclusion that the grants program is a necessary component of anyone launching a chain. There are many chains that are offering grants programs. And one of the biggest lessons that I learned is that many of these builders and founders are looking for much more than simply capital because if you're a good builder, getting access to capital is not that difficult. I was very fortunate and there were many lessons from that. But my time at Bitcoin and helping oversee all of our products and offerings including the grants program and being, being one of the faces of one of the most arguably notable grants programs in the Web Three Ecosystem. And so that's something that, you know, we haven't talked about publicly yet. And then after that, I'm actually very excited about doing an ecosystem building strategy through lessons that I learned from my time at Bitcoin. And so for us in a similar capacity, we're in a good place to be able to bootstrap initial liquidity in terms of using Fitts Exchange, which has tens of millions of users and then the Pickett Wallet, which has also over 10 million users as well to be able to generate those initial transactions in TV O and on boarding users that we're going to need. I mean, Lionel Messi is the face of the exchange and you know, Messi is the biggest soccer player in the world football player. But our precede investor who's been working very closely with us is bit, get bit gets one of the largest exchanges in the world. ![]() Uh We announced this, I believe about a month to a month and a half ago. So I would say in a similar way, it works that way. They've done a great job of being able to on board users. I hope for builders who would want to actually come on to your chain and Coinbase and base have done an exceptional job at this because they're able to funnel users into base space has great branding. And so what's, what's interesting about what we're doing? And when you're trying to launch a layer two is that being able to bootstrap initial liquidity on board and user transactions and TB O and all those things is a really important part of being able to create a builder ecosystem. Well, I think that's a, that's a great uh thought process to get the ball rolling and, and just give us a sense right now and our viewers what sets more apart from other layer tools like base or optimism and you kind of signaled that, but if you could elaborate more and give us more color around that. We need it to be such that we're actually making it easier to onboard users and not just competing on or comparing how good our technology is versus our competitors. And so a big focus of ours is going to be while we need to have technology be an important and good aspect of what we're doing. And we're very much so of the thought process that we can't mature this industry until we make products easier for people to use. You're now a co-founder and chief operating officer at M and just looking at this big picture, what do you think is the main problem M is going to be trying to solve? I think when I look at what's going on in the layer to landscape and when I look at what's going on in the crypto landscape as a whole, it's something a lot of people have been saying for a long time, which is that we are not making products for people outside of our space and that there's uh there's this weird thing where people want to build products only for people within it while at the same time saying that we need to on board the next billion users. All right, our first guest is a venture partner at Foresight Ventures and former head of impact at Bitcoin, who is now at a lay to consumer Blockchain.
