Today we speak with Zach Burks, CEO of Mintable. We get a break down of how Zach got involved in NFTs and what brought the development of Mintable. The Mintable platform is both on the Ethereum and Zilliqa blockchain so we get a first hand look at the benefits of each platform. The DeFi ecosystem is beginning to explode which will bring millions of brand new users into the crypto space. One of the more important focus is to improve the on-boarding experience. We discuss the possibility of NFT projects launching an ERC20 token to tap into the speculative mania. What will be the implications and is it a good thing for the NFT ecosystem?

On today's podcast we speak with David Liebowitz, a founding team member of Everipedia platform of decentralized knowledge base. We go into the decision making process when making the decision between using the Ethereum network or the EOS network. We drill down into EOS and discuss the CPU and RAM tokens to be able to use and access the EOS network and use dApps built on it. DeFi is quickly propagating to the collective crypto conscience and we get David's thoughts on the the current explosion. Prediction markets are also on an upward trend and Everipedia using the PredIQt token is gaining traction.

If you haven't been paying attention to what types of projects most of the volume is going towards, you might be missing what could cause a trillion dollar crypto market. With several billions locked up in the DeFi ecosystem, this sector of the crypto space is on its way of catapulting the general industry into the trillion dollar range. We begin the discussion with how we predicted that DeFi would fuel the next exponential expansion of the crypto industry in late 2019.

With the sudden pump in Mana, you would think this would be a good thing. We go into the inside details of running a business thats based completely in cryptocurrency and the ramifications of volatile pricing. Decisions need to be made and consequences are felt. How does a small business adjust to unpredictable pricing? How do we build a platform that many creators use and depend on that is reliable. Cultivating a platform with razor thin margin of error keeps us awake at night, maybe the community can provide some input here with some suggestions. In addition, we explore expanding MetaZone's offering to encompass the larger game development community.

On today's podcast we interview the CEO of Liquidity.Network to discuss GAS fees and solutions to the scalability problem. Arthur Gervais breaks down how Ethereum has a bottle neck and how many other blockchains suffer from the same inherent problem. Arthur helps understand why Ethereum can only handle a handful of transactions per second. What are the implications of a sidechain versus an off chain transaction. He also explains how Liquidity Network is able to achieve gasless transactions and what it could do for dapp developers like us. The onbaording process is an important aspect to get correct and we get into the details on how that works for any developer looking to reduce gas fees. Finally, we ask what its like to develop in both bull and bear markets and the differences between each.
