Striking Akord

In this episode we speak to Dan Ross, an underwriter from Superscript, a leading London insurance broker bridging the gap between traditional insurance and the web3 ecosystem.

We discuss why Lloyds of London has Napoleon's body armour hanging on its walls, how Akord will fundamentally overhaul insurance documentation, and why Arweave is uninsurable for all the right reasons.

In this episode we speak with Karma Trinlay Rinpoche. Rinpoche is a highly accomplished Buddhist teacher and meditation master. He is the first reincarnated Westerner to be recognised as a Tibetan Tulku. 

We discussed his work through the Mahamati Foundation in archiving and making accessible ancient buddhist teachings, the challenges of preserving these texts, and an upcoming NFT project based on a Tibetan game invented in the 13th century.

In this episode, we speak to Nader Dabit.

He’s the Director of Developer Relations at Aave and Lens protocol. He’s also the founder of Developer Dao. He’s been a vocal proponent of Arweave and many projects in the ecosystem, writing articles and tutorials for developers new to the space.

We talked about his transition into web3 after working at AWS, the projects he’s most excited about, and why he’s been drawn to Arweave.

On this episode of Striking Akord, we invite Duncan Brown, Blockchain Engineer at veritree, to talk about their 2030 mission to plant 1 billion trees, why planting trees is only part of the story and how Akord vaults are helping them publish evidence to Arweave.

On this episode of Striking Akord, we invite Jason Williamson, Head of Growth and Strategic Partnerships at Dedoco, to talk about what they're up to, their mission to become an 'engine of trust', his opinions on web3 and enterprise, as well as some insights on Akord's partnership with Dedoco. 

In our first episode of Striking Akord, we discuss a key idea behind Akord – the social vault. Through this idea we give an overview of Akord and some of the technology that enables us to realise this vision.
