Travel can do amazing things: broaden horizons, build relationships, and rejuvenate the soul. But often, those experiences come at a cost. This is Peak Travel, a new podcast from WHYY about how travel shapes communities in hot-spots around the world. We’ll share the wonder that comes with exploring new places, as well as the harm that our worst travel habits can cause. And we’ll try to figure out how we can do it better. Each episode transports you to a new destination. You’ll meet the people who call that place home, hear their stories, and come to understand how tourism has changed their everyday lives. Supported by rich, on-location sound from around the world, Peak Travel unpacks the $1.9 trillion travel industry and its impact on people and the planet.

What problem does CREAM solve?

I think capital efficiency is really the summary of it all. I know, it's very, very broad, like, what the heck does that mean? I think that we're serving the general needs of the DeFi marketplace. So we come at this from the angle of a DeFi user. And you know, really, the genesis of all this is like, we as DeFi users on a team are like, Hey, you know, this whole DeFi summer is great, we're using these things. But why isn't there XYZ in there? Why is why isn't their z, the stuff should exist. And we finally just said, You know what, we should just build it ourselves. So that's really been the kind of guiding light, let's help our users be capital efficient. Let's help our DeFi users get the things they want. That makes sense. And roughly that led to a debt market structure that we have today with other kinds of products that we could talk about later.

NEAR: A Mass Adoption Platform for Blockchain Our approach in general is about kind of making a infrastructure and a platform, that mass adoption applications can actually then be built on. Right. And so kind of our origin stories, you know, I was actually trying to build something on Ethereum. And realizing that like, it's not possible even that at like back, then it's way lower prices and way lower kind of demand that was back then. And really trying to focus on how do we build kind of a developer platforms that developers are excited, you know, to build on kind of innovative solutions, how to build a platform infrastructure, a blockchain, that normal users, right, people who do not know what private keys are, can kind of just pick it up and use, right. And obviously, kind of the scalability issue, this thing that everybody's talking about, like that's just a part of the story, because like, developers should not worry about that, you know, the capacity of their network will run out after some application hits mainstream. So so really kind of how do we solve this problems and provide something that is like friendly, like, and actually introduces, like this concepts that we all believe in to mass adoption in a way that really provides a better product to really kind of product focus, you know, vision of the future of like that three becoming kind of dominant platform, but through better products, not just philosophy. Decentralized technologies will be powering kind of future of software. And one of the core reasons why I believe in that is because by giving control back to the user, by giving control back to the kind of business or whoever generates and controls original kind of data and action, you actually allowing all applications all things to cooperate, quick to interact, right. And the decentralization is your guarantees that all those things will actually work together, right, the open source, open state, all those things that we kind of like to say, like those are guarantees of really things working for the user. And so this is just a better way to build software, this is a better way to build applications.…

Great discussion with WhaleShark top NFT investor. Whale Shark has bought 210,000 NFTs, including some well-known ones. “The Whale” – who prefers pseudo-anonymity – is 38, originally from the U.K., lives in Hong Kong and, more importantly, he owns a whopping 210,000 NFTs. It’s possible he owns the most valuable trove of NFTs on the planet, or maybe it’s number two or three. (He’s confident it’s in the top five and happily agrees to independent audits from Nonfungible.com.) The Whale likes helping newcomers understand NFTs. Sometimes that means working with Paris Hilton, whom he spoke with a day before our call. “I'm just helping onboard them [Paris and her fiancé, Carter Reum] into the deeper areas of NFTs,” says Shark. “She's very excited and very enthusiastic as well as already very knowledgeable about NFTs.” (She had just announced on Twitter she’s “getting ready to go big in NFTs.”)…

Episode 67: DeFi Derivatives with VEGA (VEGA) founder Barney Mannerings 46:24

3 years temu46:24

46:24

What is VEGA? I spent most of my career in the sort of traditional financial world-building trading systems and working with traders and got super excited when Bitcoin came along. And Ethereum, as well, and so did some mining and got in a very small way on the Ethereum presale, and I was really excited to kind of decentralized finance. So you know, before DeFi, was DeFi, I was excited by that idea. And I looked into the kind of doing some of the things that I'd done around building derivatives protocols. What I realized very quickly was that Ethereum is an incredibly constrained environment, and effectively, with Ethereum DeFi, you currently trying to build these sophisticated products that need risk management and margins and all of that stuff on what is effectively like a kind of pocket calculator. And, and that just means that you make some really big trade-offs that in my view, and you know, our company's view, certainly means that DeFi derivatives on sort of built on a theorem are never going to be kind of accepted in the real world use cases because they won't be efficient enough in terms of capital, they won't be efficient enough in terms of pricing. And often, they may not even be able to offer the same features like the kind of traditional finance equivalents. And so what we were looking to do when we created Vega was to create something that was effectively optimized for the ground up as kind of a scaling layer for derivatives. So you're building an application-specific chain that could optimize derivatives for the decentralized web. So providing a layer of Vega actually plugs into Ethereum and right now and future other blockchains like terror and polka dot and others. But you know, providing that derivatives layer, so you take the same assets, you know, your dye, your ether, your ERC 20s. But I'm able to kind of, you know, move them on to this supercharged trading layer, and start creating and trading derivatives without some of those constraints. And that's really what Vega provides.…

Episode 66: Stellar Lumens (XLM) with Justin Rice of SDF, the Stellar Development Foundation 46:18

3 years temu46:18

46:18

Stellar: Stellar is is a platform that connects all the world's currencies. Once a currency is tokenized. And represented on the network, the network infrastructure makes it really easy to hold, transfer, trade, and transmute any kind of currency. But stellar is built. So that essentially, asset issuance is a first class representation on stellar and asset as a first class thing on stellar. So in a few lines of code, anyone can come to issue an asset on the network. And then there are also ecosystem standards that allow people to connect those on an app on network assets to networks to assets outside the network. In other words, it's really easy to build an on-off ramp for fiat currency that connects to stellar. And so essentially, what the stellar model is that all these different organizations, we call them anchors, which are regulated financial institutions, essentially accept consumer deposits via traditional rails and digitize those issue an asset on a stellar network. And once it's on the network, the holder of that asset can take advantage of it, to do these really cheap, fast, easy, and compliant cross currency payments. So the infrastructure itself is great for that. But the connection that is sort of specified in these ecosystem standards, allows the stellar network to connect to other financial infrastructure. And again, traditionally, that's banking rails, but you can also connect it to other cryptocurrency networks, or really, to any asset in the real world that you can redeem, that you can sort of deposit for on network asset and redeem in return for the asset that represents…

On Oracles, trust vs cost: lack of trust is expensive What are Oracles? It's this mechanism for getting data from off of the blockchain onto the blockchain. And, you know, predominantly, those Oracle's are used for prices of things. And most of DeFi right now, right is utilizing credit to some extent, right. So you need to know the prices of things to know how much you should let someone borrow. You know, you need to know the prices of things to know when you need to liquidate right up position. So Oracle is really critical infrastructure to the functioning of DeFi. And so I think he kind of touched on one of the issues, which is, how do you, as a user, trust the data that the Oracle is showing. So that's one of the big problems. I think the other problem is cost. Right. So how expensive is it to run an Oracle? And I think you'll find that frequently, you end up having to make a trade-off there. Right, in terms of the security of the Oracle versus the price?…

What is Zapper? So because DeFi is kind of like this open Internet of finance, right. There's a there's kind of an explosion of you know, different protocols and product products and defy kind of, you know, popping up. And since everything is kind of shared and open, you know, people kind of experiment here and there, they invest in this platform, they use another and the immediate problem that comes with that type of usages, it becomes a kind of like a mess to be able to track your portfolio and your balances. And my first use case for zapper was actually to solve a problem that I had. And that was a year ago, and I was actually, you know, a user back then still am a user right now. But I was just, you know, checking out in different platforms, putting money here and there. And eventually, it became impossible to like track all my balances. So the goal of zapper is really just to be this one-stop shop, this one place where you can really track all your investments that you're doing in defy, on top of actually being able to do transactions. So the other part that we have solving is, you know, as a user, it can be kind of like hard to kind of see all the opportunities that are going. And even just being able to like, use the different websites can be a pretty hindering user experience. So on top of just being able to read your portfolio, you can actually do transactions directly from zapper so we have the exchange where you can go from token a token B, there's also the pool section where you can easily add liquidity to a pool from a bunch of different protocols. So there's uni swap sushi balancer curve, and bancor. And there's also a farm tab. So it's really like we're aggregating a bunch of investment opportunities in one simple UI, that kind of reduces a lot of the overhead and defy which is being able to track everything that's going on and be like having to move from one website to the other.…

What is Xanpool? Xanpool started out as a simple local currency to cryptocurrency Fiat gateway, it was the mechanism by which we are doing this that is relatively unique. Gateways has always been a problem. I don't think I need to dig too much into that. So most of the liquidity of cryptocurrency resides in US dollar to crypto. And that is where most exchanges brokers or whomever in the market has to settle with the what the model that example takes on his example is actually a peer to peer Fiat gateway, where you are directly trading with someone locally, who has that crypto and is willing to provide liquidity for that. The way we do this is through a mixture of banking API's, as well as crypto wallet and crypto exchange API's. where people are essentially able to plug their banking API's that we've built their bank account into ours and pull network and their crypto exchange or crypto wallet into our central network, whereby they essentially create crypto liquidity, as well as local currency liquidity, and then our automated market maker (AMM) will essentially help people on an off ramp into that liquidity. So it's sort of like UNIswap. It's very similar to UNIswap, except specific for local currency. The short version is that it is a payment network similar to VISA but instead of member banks providing liquidity, liquidity is provided by individuals and businesses. This is optimized for South Asian markets at the moment.…

Episode 59: Zilliqa Capital (ZIL) , a conversation with the founders 54:45

3 years temu54:45

54:45

Why did you start Zilliqa? So Well, well, the main reason why we started Zilliqa was based on this idea of sharding. Because he felt that this was an idea that we started as a first academic paper. So that was the first paper that was published in the academic literature that basically showed two people that you could actually apply this idea of sharding in the public blockchain. So until then, it was not known or it was not well formally studied how to do that in practice. So one, one very key sort of idea that we started now with something that many people are following. Or you know, whether it be I won't say Ethereum ICO followed us. But definitely, we started that chain reaction where now, several teams that are actually pursuing that idea of sharding, may different forms and shapes, some are obviously trying to improve on what we have done. So that's, that's something that hopefully, obviously gives us an advantage on what we started with. The second area that we tried to focus on was around smart contract safety is something again, that many people are doing but in our approach has been outside perimeter, the first or second one, in that sense, where we felt that the language, smart contract language, the way it was designed, specially solidity was sort of designed with, you know, developer features in mind, not so much on security aspects of it. And what ended up happening was that it became so loose or became so open, for people to use that it became very difficult to make sure that any formal guarantees could be, could come off. And of course, you know, it's not impossible, but it's very, very difficult. And if you change the language, or if you restrict the language in some way, it becomes much easier. So basically, what we have learned so far is that you basically have a trade-off between how expressive a language can be and how auditable that language could be. So how easy it is to reason about the correctness and safety of that contract. And that's it for today if you look at a recent survey made by I think sorority team, one of the most hated, I mean, it's one of the most most loved aspects as well, is that 30 is most one of the most hated aspect of it is that it's very close to JavaScript. Even though, even though it definitely makes people who actually develop web applications, so they like it much easier. And that's again, because of some of the guarantees that the language doesn't provide. So he also felt that back then we were when we were building silicon, developing silica, he felt that there is an opportunity to actually build a safer language that could be easy to use, at the same time, be able to provide stronger guarantees. And you know, after that, you know, we saw Viper coming in the Ethereum ecosystem, we saw, I think, recently, a language called Fey coming. I think, after that, I think Cardano started to work on their own language called Plutus algorrand developed their own language. So in a way that created a sort of chain reaction where people felt that this, this is an area of development, that people need to focus on to make language better because, in the end, many of these contracts actually handle hundreds of million dollars worth of assets, but billions of dollars worth of assets. And you want to make sure that it's safe to hold that. So these are two sort of key areas, which we started with, again, that have created a lot of different tentacles. One, me I would claim that you know, we have changed our impact on other people we but we have seen, that other people have actually started to work on symbolizes was that I feel that there's some contribution to the blockchain ecosystem.…

Episode 58: Rari Capital (RARI) DeFi Risk Data Platform 41:18

3 years temu41:18

41:18

What is Rari? A New Financial "Opportunity Zone" Capital, right now, you have risk on capital, and then you have risk off. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of this risk off capital is becoming risk on only because they have no reason not to, right. capital is cheap. There's, there's free returns basically, everywhere why not, but there is substantial amounts of risk associated with it, because they've lost an opportunity to earn yield on on the capital in a low risk way. so Rari aims to reintroduce that optionality to investors by enabling anybody to earn a substantial amount of yield on their US dollars at first and then soon all of their crypto assets and do it in a trustless way where they can actually make a decent return. And I mean, zooming out what one thing I've understood is, most people are coming to blockchain and crypto in general, to make money, right? It's a new financial opportunity. And it's a new financial opportunity zone. And one thing that we we understood is, we don't want people taking on this price risk, because there is intense risk associated with it. So our job that worry is, how do we enable the investor class to make as much money as possible without taking on significant risks, like pricing. How does Rari Work? We have a yield aggregator, which is a smart contract that anybody can deposit into. And we automatically rebalance between different protocols. These protocols can be things like compound dydx, AAVE traditional money markets all the way to more exotic strategies, like COMP farming, or lending, or I guess, not lending, but providing capital and Mstable, and things like that. Then, when a user deposits, they receive the pool token, which represents their share in the pool, which they can redeem anytime for the pool value. But at the end of the day how do you sustainably maintain these yields, especially when our yield aggregators competing for the same alpha that harvest and Yearn and all these other guys are? It's a really interesting dilemma to be part of, because we don't want to compete. And we don't want to just add another product to this ecosystem that's just trying to achieve the same goal. And that's something that we all understood, right? We just didn't want to do the same thing as everybody else who really zoomed out and said, what, what do we actually want to contribute to this ecosystem. And one thing that we understood is, the capital funnel really has three parts. Right now we've 1. capital onboarding, in terms of metamask, then you have 2. capital formation in terms of our yield aggregator, and then you have 3. capital deployment in terms of places where we actually put the capital like compound and AAVE. And one thing that we came through in our realization, we want to control each part of this stack, not for the sake of control, but for the sake of bringing a 10X experience that's actually really innovative. And the first step in that plan is our new project in our new product called fuse. And this is, this is what's exciting me this is what's keeping me up at night, as I think about all the new ideas that you built on top of it. And what fuses is essentially a market of money markets. So anybody can come in and build out their own essentially compound, cool, they can choose what assets they want, they can choose what interest rate curves they want, they can even choose what Oracle's they want. And suddenly, you enable anybody to start their own money market fulfilling like this true idea of like a trustless system, but also giving people the power that they should have, right, like, there's no reason that compound should be limited to eight assets, and every asset should be voted on by token holders limited to an elite few, we should give that power to everybody.…

Episode 57: IntoThe Block Blockchain Analytics and Algorithmic Trading with CEO Jesus Rodriquez 41:29

What is IntoTheBlock? So the idea that the overarching idea about IntoTheBlock was to enable intelligence for cryptographic assets as a whole class. In traditional capital markets, you're seeing a lot of movements from traditional vehicles to more machine learning vehicles. So for instance, one fund have been having a horrible three years. So you're saying funds like Renaissance, everybody's having a hard time and it's still, you see a lot of capital fluctuating from discretionary to quant, we're seeing a proliferation of robo advisors, automated insurance, things like that. So in crypto being 100% of the asset class, you will think that's the only way this is going to go right all phones are going to require there is going to be 300 million robo advisors. The problem is that the intelligence layer and analytics layer that you need to build those products is still very nascent. So IntoTheBlock was created to solve that problem to enable analytics and intelligence and discover new indicators that could better inform institutional retail investors about the asset class. And now after getting some traction we started building what is called intelligence services on quant strategies and advisory strategies, on top of that analytics layer is already using all the signals and intelligence that the underlying platform provides.…

Dmitry on the history and culture of Ethereum When I look back at the origins of Ethereum. And I look at the number of people who were involved early on. I do know that they explicitly discussed that one of the things that they were not too happy about. They were all involved in the Bitcoin community, right? That was the original crypto community. And, and already, then Bitcoin community sometimes could be abrasive, you know, there was a lot of this kind of like, biting if you will, quality to conversations, right? Yes. A lot of the people involved in this space? They're very smart software engineers and such kind of, you have to be smart. It's hard to develop to code if you're not. Yeah. And many of those people, are introverts, right. So they are not really people who want this. Yeah, conflict them, you know, fighting, right. So in some ways, many of them felt uncomfortable with their Bitcoin community, because there were so much competitiveness and divisiveness if you will. So specifically, when they started Ethereum, they said, Hey, guys, let's this thing that we tried to build, and which was at that time, you know, just like a pipe dream, right? Oh, let's build this thing. But they tried to they said, Okay, well, let's create a community, which is based on openness and inclusivity. And, and I think this is really, this really became some, you know, those things become crucial aspects of the foundation of the Ethereum community, right. And I have, I have seen this many times, actually, my life because of, you know, building businesses over many years, and looking at companies and looking at my friends, entrepreneurs, whatever you build, project, initiative, business, whatever, it will always be a reflection of, of you as a human being. Right? That always happens, right? And Bitcoin was created by this anonymous person. And so it's really kind of hard to kind of that person, if you will, the energy that he put into this project, you know, there, there was a lot of this stuff that people tried to carry on. But and if you're competing specifically, with Alec and some other early people, they had this, they have this energy of openness and inclusivity. Right. And this eventually propagated throughout the community and you know, communities never homogeneous, right, you will always find all kinds of people.…

Yeah, you know, as you know, it can be really messy people can have multiple crypto accounts. All over the world, you can have five or 10 exchange accounts, you could have lost some crypto in an ICO or in a defunct exchange or just accidentally sending it somewhere, you'll have several wallets. And then when you try to do your accounting and your financial analysis and your taxes on all this, it's just going to be a mess, you're going to lose your cost basis, you're not going to know your holding period and profit and loss. Over half of our customers work with a tax professional. And a lot of tax professionals are not up to speed on what crypto is and how crypto is accounted for.

What is Enzyme (formerly Melon and MelonPort) So enzyme, for those of you who don't know is a protocol that enables anyone to build a vault in DeFi a vault, which is able to trade assets, lend earn interest, farm, or deposit into AMM pools. The idea, eventually, the end goal is we want to have integrations across the whole of the DeFi space. And we want to be able to hold any kind of asset within an enzyme vault, the protocol also takes care of the accounting. So you can basically calculate on a pretty much live basis, what the value of the assets within the vault is, how they're changing, you have full transparency over what the vault manager is doing. And at the same time, everything that's happening in the vault that you have potentially deposited into is completely non-custodial, which means that if at any point, you disagree with what the vault manager is doing the strategy, you can just exit because you are the custodian of those assets at all time. So it's pretty beautiful. And the problem that I faced, you mentioned that I did start my career at Goldman, I then moved to hedge funds after that, and I was a long-short equity portfolio manager. But the part of my career that I don't talk about very much, is when I tried to launch my own hedge fund. And discovered for the first time in my life, what a nightmare it is for small to medium-sized managers who love investing to launch in the world of traditional finance. And long story short, it wasn't for lack of trying, it wasn't for a lack of the hours. And it wasn't for, a lack of luck, I had a lot of luck, I had maybe $30 million raised within a couple of months. But my god, the fact that people think $30 million is a small fund and traditional finance is very telling about what the industry, barriers to entry are.…

Episode 80: Conversation with Evan Mair gCC gumi Cryptos Capital 48:30

3 years temu48:30

48:30

History and Future of DeFi 170 billion in TVL across all the all the different chains. We've come a long way in just one year and even more since since 2017, when a lot of these projects initially started kicking off. I think what's what's important to note is that this has been an iterative process, and in crypto things happen very quickly. So it's been great to invest over the last three years at Gumi cryptos Capital on work with founders who are in this iterative process of improving how either tokens are distributed, how networks are bootstrapped, how talent is sourced and everything in between how DAOs are formed. And so this whole DeFi, boom, you could call it kind of kicked off back in, in June 2020, when compound started the first liquidity mining program, although some people credit synthetix was before. But compound was the first one to really popularize this, back in the day. And since then, we've seen this exponential growth that's been super exciting. And I wrote an article I think, in October 2020, on this distribution mechanism, called the ownership experience, and how that will impact users over the next decade and beyond. How instead of focusing on building a nice UI, you essentially are focusing on how what is the best way to distribute ownership of these protocols that will be user owned and operated in the future. And I think that's a trend we will continue to see. And that's what's leading to this explosive growth in DeFi. In terms of what's really exciting me now, it's the activity in the sidechain layer two space. Essentially, you've got in the last couple of months, you've had a couple networks launch that are starting to gain traction, you've got optimism, and Arbitrum, on the optimistic roll upside, and you've got a starknet and Starkware on the Zk rollup side. And just a high level if people are watching and don't know what these roll ups are. A roll up essentially aggregates transactions that executes them and stores most of the data off chain, and then stores a little bit of the data of the proof of that transaction on the main chain. So optimism, and Arbitrum use optimistic roll ups, which essentially assume that the transactions are correct. And they're essentially it's essentially secured by incentives. Whereas something like Starknet or Starkware zk roll ups, which is essentially enforced by math (zero-knowledge proofs), so there's different ways to have these enforcement mechanisms. But the nice thing is you essentially, get scalability on the second layer while still inheriting the underlying security of layer one. So naturally, a lot of users are migrating to these platforms, including myself, and using the applications built there like AAve and maker DAO and a couple of others are on arbitrum. From you've got synthetic on optimism, I think uni swap is on both at this point, and tons of applications are being built there. And you can see the Gas fees are a lot less, but you're still, you know, inheriting that underlying security. So people are a lot more comfortable moving there. There are other chains like Matic that are super interesting now called polygon, that, that have a little bit different security trade-off. But because of that have a lot lower cost. You also have different blockchains, like Solana that are kind of popping up and offering new DeFi experiences and attracting TVL, but also have similar similar trade-offs on performance and security.…

Episode 78: Balancer (BAL) DeFi AMM platform with Jeremy Musighi of Balancer Labs 56:01

3 years temu56:01

56:01

What is Balancer? Balancer serves sort of three primary groups of users who interact with the protocol. Number one is investors who use balancer as an automated portfolio manager and a mechanism for generating Yield. So you can use balancer as a platform to deposit your crypto assets, and not only deposit them, but to put them into a portfolio that is structured or designed based on specific percentages of how you want to be like holding your assets. So for example, maybe I would want to have a portfolio that's 33%, BTC, 33%, ETH, and 33%, stable coin, or really anything else you can think of balancer will automatically rebalance your positions on a regular basis. And at the same time, you'll be earning Yield through the trading fees that are generated on the platform. And that is a segue into the second group, which is traders. Yep. So traders use the balancer AMM as a way to trade token a for token being any ERC-20 token is compatible with balancer. And each time a trade is made on the balancer. It is a trade between a user and a liquidity pool. And those that liquidity pool consists of tokens that belong to the liquidity providers, the investors that I just mentioned before. And so when traders make those trades, they pay a very small fee, depending on the design of that pool that they have interacted with. And that fee goes to liquidity providers, which helps them grow their portfolio very passively. It's a set and forget type of tool where you deposit your crypto and you go on with your life, and it just does the work for you. And so yeah, traders use it as a liquid market to exchange crypto assets, you know, quickly, easily with minimal slippage, and at a good price. And then the third group is the builders, the developers balancer is not only an exchange, not only a portfolio manager, it's really a lot more than that. It's designed with so much flexibility and customizability. And that makes it act as a DeFi primitive of financial primitive, or a building blocks that you can use to create all kinds of financial products and services with balancer either as sort of an infrastructural layer underneath or as a protocol that is integrated in one way or another into the functionality of your protocol, you as the developer. So there's an entire ecosystem of startups, developers, entrepreneurs, who are building really incredible solutions and have built very incredible solutions using balancer.…

About IDLE IDLE is a DeFi Yield aggregator and rebalancing protocol, basically solves the problem for our users that instead of having to manually move the files across different Yield protocols, in order to optimize their capital returns, their interest rate returns, they could they have to just like deposit funds into IDLE. And then the protocol will take care and will automatically and algorithmically rebalanced pounds in order to optimize the returns or minimize the risk for our users. So the main problem that is solved is that our users can stay idle and without doing anything, they can optimize their returns. In terms of the underlying protocols that we aggregate with idle, we decided to take a path of getting only like solid and reliable protocols. As for today, we are aggregating compound AAVE and dYdX. So we are optimizing yields across those protocols. And we made it a sort of our culture, we want to give also security to our users who want to bring security to our users.

This episode we interview brilliant digital artist and San Francisco Arts Commission, Yiying Lu, who created many emojis and also the famous Twitter "Fail Whale". She is talking about herself, her art and her upcoming drop on Opensea for some exclusive WhaleShark NFTs. Check out her art at: https://www.yiyinglu.com/ Yiying's new Whale NFT Drops on Opensea, celebrating $Whale Community's 1st Anniversary: https://yiyinglu.com/whale Yiying Lu's NFT Journey So this Whale NFT journey started back in 2009, when I first came to the San Francisco Bay Area. As I created the artwork of a white beluga whale lifted by 8 birds, which eventually became the Twitter "Fail Whale". It was used in the early days of Twitter during around 2008 to 2013. Every time Twitter went down, people will see it. When I initially created the artwork back in 2007, during the time I was living and studying in Sydney, Australia. The artwork was initially created as a personal work, and it was not commissioned by Twitter. As I was living in Sydney, New South "Whales" pun not intended, after my exchange study from London, UK in 2006. I was finishing my final year in college, and I miss my friends in UK, but also miss my friends in China, I was born and raised in Shanghai, China. So it was around the same time when Twitter, Facebook and other social media website became popular. So there is a lot of FOMO as overseas people sent birthday party invites and graduation ceremonies invites from social media, and I couldn't physically be there with them. So I thought, well, what I studied was visual communication, why don't I just communicate this huge wish to be physically there with my friends as a visual metaphor - the Whale. So I created the whale initially, and I caught it "Lifting a Dreamer", it's almost like an impossible dream come true - because in our physical reality, Whales don't fly, but with art, anything is possible. And by serendipity, the co-founder and creative director of Twitter, Biz Stone, found it online and licensed it and next thing, you know, it became Twitter's iconic service breakdown image.

What is NFTYCO? NFTYCO stands for NFT you can own. And I think that now we're in a cultural gateway point, whereby which people who haven't yet heard of NFTs or technology that brings, they're really curious to how many things can be NFT are viable?. One of the first things that we did at NFTYCO was, you know, turn sneakers into NFT's. And so, we found that by having a representation of, you know, something that's so abstract as not fungible tokens, like what does that even really mean? It helps people to come into the metaverse with us. So we were the first to basically, you know, provide an algorithmic approach to sneaker culture. You know, we took the colorways from NBA 2K, NFL teams, double A team's streetwear brands by Supreme and we tokenize them.…

Who is DeFi Dad? DeFi Dad it's definitely a very genuine reflection, I think of just who I am as a person, except with the added touch of focus on DeFi. So in the last few years, you know, I started in Ethereum, and Bitcoin and crypto in general about three years ago. And then I started working full time in crypto about almost 12 months after I first started learning about crypto, so around July 2018. And it's funny because like I was working as like a general sort of Project Manager, a little bit of marketing across lots of projects at consensus, you know, getting exposure to all these different Ethereum projects like Metamask and truffle and get coin. And then it was, it was in the spring of 2019. Someone who was running the ethereal summit, they they found a new job, they left very abruptly and there was this big gap in the team to run the ethereal summit and the ethereal summit. If anyone's unfamiliar with it. It's this awesome series of global events we used to do through consensus. I believe they're going to start doing those again, just because we've been in the pandemic. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, ETH Denver is another amazing event. So the whole idea was what to celebrate the stories of founders and builders and evangelists and investors in the Ethereum community. And anyways, I just had a blast, like for about a year, I got to work on this full time focus on the storytelling of what's happening in Ethereum. And by doing that, I happened upon how DeFi was, was developing, I had a background working mostly in the Bay Area, in very typical sorts of software startups. So spent a lot of time we actually have we have a lot of commonality here. Like I spent a lot of time evangelizing or selling what we did at different little software startups. So I would live in demos all day long, no show.…
