Hello everyone - Chris Wong here with a very special episode of Block Party. Back in November, I discovered a project by the name of Hey Wallet making the rounds on Crypto Twitter

Both Szi and I discuss the utility and functionality of Hey Wallet and how its capabilities to send crypto using social media could change the game for wallets as a whole.

Now on today's episode, I touch base with one of the founders of Hey Wallet, Mick, who details how the project got started, how they plan to evolve in the future, and the evolution of the space at scale.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, It's me, Chris Wong. Today I'm bringing you a less focused episode that I recorded with long-time friend and intellect Enis aka LegalMastermind (Twitter @legalmastermind) encompassing the growing anime subgenre of NFT's, the strength of communities, and our own opinions about art and the space. 

Enis is a crypto savant, NFT insider, and influencer whose movements in the space have always guided me and friends of the Block Party community towards smart perspectives on the overall space. 

As always the opinions we express on each episode are our own and should not be constituted as legal or financial advice - be responsible and do your own research.

Hello - It's Me - Chris Wong - and on today's episode I sit down with the two founders of the Bad Lands Detectives Marco And Ramone. For a while now the general consensus has been that as it stands the crypto community has been the wild west - a frontier of great promise and great danger. Ramone and Marco are two pioneers on a mission to provide more information and stability to their community of like-minded individuals. I ask them about their process, how they started, a little NFT talk and the social media space, and where the future of the Bad-Lands lies. As always - all opinions expressed on this episode should not be constituted as financial advice, do your own research, and invest at your own risk.

Hello Block Party listeners! - In this episode we talk about Polygon. Let's face it Ethereum has some issues and Polygon aims to solve, well, all of them! Scaling, Developer and User Experience, Multi chain interoperability, amongst others! Polygon really is a huge project with a massive vision and we go into the who, what, how, and why of what they're trying to accomplish as well as some concerns and risks. Polygon has established itself as one of the top projects in crypto and we see why.

In this episode Szi and Chris try to explain what Olympus DAO does and what it's trying to accomplish with its decentralized reserve currency. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery and if thats the case then OHM is definitely blushing right now with dozens of code bases being forked off their original to create a slew of new DAOs on different chains. Some of these such as Wonderland on the AVAX chain offering 80,000%+ APY and its not even amongst the highest. DeFi 2.0 is going crazy! We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, Chris and Szi delve into ZK-Rollups. ZK stands for Zero Knowledge, which are a form of cryptographic proofs that have been around since the 80s and allow the parties to prove statements are true without conveying any information apart from the veracity of the statements. ZK-Rollups is a form of Zero Knowledge Proofs that allow for the scaling on the layer 2 of the blockchain. ZKRollups does this by aggregating on chain transactions, taking it off chain, and working its magic. Why do this? The benefits of layer 2 is faster transactions, larger network throughput, and cheaper gas fees while allowing us to leverage the security of the Ethereum network. There are some unique features of the ZKRollups that separate it from other layer 2 scaling solutions and we discuss why this could be the solution Ethereum needs to establish its dominance in the battle of the blockchains once again. Enjoy this podcast.

In this episode Chris and Szi talk about the recent inquiry into stablecoins by the US Senator Sherrod Brown - In his own words "I have significant concerns with the non-standardized terms applicable to redemption of particular stablecoins, how those terms differ from traditional assets, and how those terms may not be consistent across digital asset trading platforms,” Brown wrote in his letter to Circle, the payment services company that operates stablecoin USD coin (USDC)." We speak about what this might mean for the future of crypto, regulation, and stablecoins.

In this episode Chris and Szi discuss what a blockchain is, why it's important, why we should care, and some of the blockchain solutions currently competing for dominance in the world of the decentralized internet. Most people have heard of Ethereum and for good reason - Ethereum commands roughly a 500B marketcap and is considered as the pre-eminent layer-1 blockchain protocol. But for how long? This year alone saw the rise of faster and more efficient blockchains with robust ecosystems of DApps and NFTS. Solana and Avalanche are just two competing layer-1s that have amassed a huge user base and have grown their respective marketcaps by thousands of percentage points in one year. These new protocols rival Ethereum in network throughput, ease of use, and network cost by a large margin. The future of blockchains definitely promises to be an interesting one and is definitely heating up with many layer 1s and layer 2 solutions looking to assert themselves in the crypto-sphere, Ethereum might just have to watch the throne! We hope you enjoy this episode

In this episode, Szi and Chris cover Ultra a crypto blockchain platform targeting the PC Gaming Distribution Market. With an over 32 Billion dollar addressable market - Ultra has a huge potential to uproot the existing status quo set by long time incumbent Steam which currently accrues over 30% in fees from developers that wish to release games on its platform. With most gamers using steam as their choice for digital game downloads, developers have been hard pressed to find other digital distribution options with a market as large as Steam. Ultra seeks to address this issue by delivering much lower fees and creating a system of rewards for its developers and gamers alike. Ultra is definitely a project in the gaming crypto space.

In this episode - Chris and Szi expound upon the Decentralized Autonomous Organization or DAO for short. DAOs are organizations represented by code and enacted by smart contracts that are transparently displayed on the blockchain and then voted upon by the organizations' members without the influence of a hierarchical structure present in most current organizations. DAOs have been around since 2016 but had a rocky start, however, today with an ever increasing need for transparency and stability DAOs are making a strong comeback with some popular projects such as OlympusDAO using it as a community-owned decentralized financial infrastructure. We speak on the pros and cons of DAOs, the human element, how they can accomplish their goals, and which organizations are ripe for disruption by a DAO. We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode Chris raves about Hey Wallet! (Szi agrees). HeyWallet is is a brand spanking new Crypto Wallet designed specifically for Twitter that allows you to send Solana's native token SOL via HeyWallet's user interface. Self described as the World’s first mobile wallet built for Twitter; Users can send & receive SOL by tweeting @hey_wallet send 1SOL to @sziTrapamoto @ItsMeChrisWong :)

In this episode, Chris and Szi are joined by close friend and long term gaming and Metaverse enthusiast Ennis as they discuss some very heady philosophical concepts about what the Metaverse is, what it means for the future of humanity, and who will create this new universe of worlds. We discuss coalescent technologies necessary to create something as grandiose as a Metaverse and the players willing to make it happen. With Facebook recently rebranding to Meta, we now have one of the largest companies in the world validating the existence of a cyber universe; the Metaverse is no longer nerdy sci-fi conjecture but an eventuality so sit back, relax, and enjoy this podcast.

During this episode we talk about some critical concepts underlying the Web3 space and why it is a superior infrastructure to the Web2 that dominates our current internet. We also speak on the recent happenings on the Ethereum and Solana Naming Services that just dropped their respective tokens and apps. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this podcast.
