"Building for People, Not Wallets" with Privy cofounder Henri Stern | ZEROPOD S2 E16

What if crypto products weren’t built for wallets, but for people? In this episode of ZEROPOD, Privy.io founder Henri Stern joins host Toady Hawk to talk about building user-first infra, why account abstraction matters, and what it’ll take to onboard the next billion. From his Parisian roots to Protocol Labs and now Privy, Henri shares sharp takes on fragmentation, EIP-7702, and why most crypto apps still miss the point. Come for the insights, stay for the travel tips and Italian bread slander.

GM Farcaster ep254 Wednesday June 4, 2025 Farcaster x Solana

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster celebrates Solana’s arrival like it’s a surprise party no one RSVP’d to but everyone showed up for—with hot takes on speed, mini apps, and whether the new crowd will outvibe the existing one. Between airdrop FOMO, and the creeping suspicion that Solana devs are just Farcaster lurkers in disguise, the episode captures the glorious mess of multichain mingling.

GM Farcaster ep245 Wednesday May 14, 2025 with @chaskin.eth of the Ethereum Foundation  From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster is part meme breakdown, part leaderboard drama, and part crypto fairy tale as Yes2Crypto finally gets his wish granted—Matcha adds limit orders on Base after 180 days of relentless memeing and manifesting. Between Cast Out chaos, immunity idols, shirt bushels, and philosophical debates about mini app engagement strategies, the episode reminds us that in Web3, persistence pays off... and sometimes even gets you merch.

GM Farcaster ep242 Wednesday May 7, 2025   From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster starts with Adrienne balancing @cameron’s arch on her head and ends with a wild deep dive into DX Terminal’s a new ai agent game—complete with @poof-eth explaining the tech just enough to make you feel smarter. Between chaotic shirt coincidences, Ethereum’s glow-up, and a surprising philosophical debate about why humans crave drama but Ethereum stays boring, this episode is poof, we mean proof, that crypto might be complex, but crypto people are even weirder (and we love you for it).

GM Farcaster ep240 Tuesday April 29, 2025   Thanks to our premier partner Octant! Be sure to check out octant.app for all the latest.   From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster kicks off with a mid-week identity crisis (it’s Tuesday, despite the episode title) and spirals delightfully into FarCon packing chaos, gorilla memes, and the hunt for physical Degens & Dragons cards. Between the stealth rollout of a web Warplet wallet, debates over censorship and decentralization, and a protocol-level philosophy class taught via cast, this episode is equal parts startup diary, tech demo, and group therapy for people who definitely check Warpcast before brushing their teeth.  Full Show Notes and Links available on YouTube.   THANKS TO OUR PREMIERPARTNER OCTANT: Octant links:@octant: https://warpcast.com/octant /octant: https://warpcast.com/~/channel/octant Octant site: https://octant.app/home Degens & Dragons:https://highlight.xyz/user/@0x05e6AED1A5F9fe61A3C3764E073dB1db329d8Da1 Copyright 2025 cc-by GM Farcaster - reuse/remix allowed with attribution and link back to GMFarcaster.com.  NOTE: Cryptocurrencies are often volatile assets.

GM Farcaster ep238 Friday April 25, 2025 with @esteez.eth /farcon-nyc  Happy Friday From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster opens with Adrienne battling seasonal allergies while Prof triple-wields caffeine to survive tech gremlins and a jam-packed news day, including a proposed funeral for V1 Frames (RIP old yoink!) and the ever-growing hype for FarCon. With Coinbase Wallet integration, airdrop drama, the debut of the Tipn frame that lets you throw pennies like a polite onchain gremlin, and @barmstrong low-key memeing on Warpcast, this episode is basically a caffeine-fueled scroll through crypto’s weirdest morning show.  Thanks to our premier partners Octant and Lil Nouns DAO.
