Will Particle Network Unify All Crypto Apps Through Chain Abstraction?

Tabasco is the Head of Developer Relations at Particle Network. In this episode, we discuss whether Particle Network can unify all crypto apps across all chains through chain abstraction. As Particle Network prepares for Mainnet launch, Tabasco shares their important work to simplify the crypto user experience with one account for any chain, why chain abstraction is more than hype, and how this will lead to greater mainstream adoption of crypto. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn about DeFi and Web3: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ☀️ SUMMER.FI | THE BEST PLACE TO BORROW AND EARN IN DEFI https://summer.fi/?utm_source=DeFidad 🧙‍♂️ MERLIN CHAIN | THE RISE OF BITCOIN'S LARGEST LAYER 2 https://merlinchain.io/ 🍵 MATCHA.XYZ | THE BEST PRICE ON OVER 5 MILLION TOKENS https://matcha.xyz/?utm_source=theedgepodcast&utm_campaign=2q24 🧑‍🌾 MANTLE | THE ETHEREUM L2 FOR TOP NATIVE YIELDS https://www.mantle.xyz/ 🐡 PUFFER FINANCE | LIQUID RESTAKING FOR THE LITTLE FISH https://puffer.fi/ 💰 TELLER | DEFI'S CASH ADVANCE https://teller.org/ 🌕 MOONBEAM | INTEGRATED WEB3 FOR BUILDERS AND USERS https://moonbeam.network/ ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 4:08 - Tabasco's background 7:47 - Why Particle Network? 13:23 - What is chain abstraction? 17:01 - How Particle fits into chain abstraction stack 23:48 - Mantle mid-roll 24:42 - Why chain abstraction is more than hype? 40:52 - Apps made possible by chain abstraction 44:22 - Teller and Moonbeam mid-roll 45:36 - How can we trust Particle Network? 49:22 - When Particle Network Mainnet? 52:06 - Closing and Particle Pioneer program ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Particle Network Website: https://particle.network/ ► Particle Network on Twitter: https://x.com/ParticleNtwrk ► Tabasco on Twitter: https://x.com/tabascoweb3 ► Particle Pioneer Program: https://pioneer.particle.network/ ------ If you're a DeFi/Web3 builder, contact our team at: https://fourthrevolution.capital/ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions and not necessarily those of Fourth Revolution Capital.

Context S3: Inside Super Punk World w/ Nina Chanel Abney and Todd Kramer

Blake speaks with the brilliant Nina Chanel Abney, world renowned multidisciplinary artist. Her resume is beyond impressive; her work is in the permanent collections of museums like The MoMa and The Whitney, and she just released her second collaboration with Nike, designing her take on the iconic Jordan 3. Earlier this year, she was the first artist selected for Punk in Residence, an art program by CryptoPunks designed to champion creative experimentation with web 3. She released Super Punk World, her 500 piece NFT collection in May as part of the program. Throughout this episode, you’ll get further context on Nina’s entire body of work, her artistic vision and what she stands for, while Blake and her chat about the WNBA, her Nike collab, art history, how humour translates across mediums and more. The second half of the episode is dedicated to talking about Super Punk World, from its conception to its reception, to what’s next. Accompanying Nina is the innovative gallerist and collector Todd Kramer, who provides illuminating perspectives about the business side of the art industry, what Nina has accomplished in her career thus far and The Gallery of Digital Assets (GODA) which Nina and him co-founded with Pharrell (among others!). The three of them have an inspiring and pertinent discussion that is especially relevant for crypto art and NFT collectors and anyone interested in creativity onchain.
