Next generation exchange @paradex is an onchain derivatives exchange built for serious traders. Built on @Starknet, Paradex combines low-latency performance with full self-custody — CEX-level execution without giving up your keys. In this episode, we dive into how Paradex is re-architecting perps for the onchain era, their approach to scaling orderbooks on L2, and what a fully onchain trading stack could look like. Listen below:
Bitcoin never needed to change, it just needed a boost. @rootstock_io gives Bitcoin a brain — EVM smart contracts, real yield, and a builder stack as powerful as Ethereum’s, secured by the hardest money on earth. The foundation was sound and now it’s alive. Welcome to Rootstock.
After 15 years of public blockchains, the question isn’t whether privacy matters — it’s how we get it back. This is the next step in digital freedom: ft. @AleoHQ and its cofounder, @1howardwu Welcome to privacy, rebuilt for the future of crypto FULL POD BELOW:

Banks have made money the same way for thousands of years: take your cash today, pay you some yield, while lending it out over fixed durations. But no one rebuilt that time-tested machine for crypto. Until @infiniFi_ came, turning onchain deposits into real yield, the way banking was always meant to work. Watch the full pod below:

Had an awesome time at the SG Cricket Club with @aarnasays... Big things coming! Thanks to @srikmisra for the invite! Watch out for Sri on @DecypherPodcast next week.

We’ve seen this story before: new ecosystems, early believers, free claims that later define the entire cycle. Hyperliquid. Uniswap. Ether Fi. Eigen Layer. Now @MidnightNtwrk is attempting to do the same. I’ll be recording a Decypher pod about this tomorrow — but you don’t need to wait to take advantage.

Hyped to be at Token2049, thanks to the @ADI_Foundation for having me by today. Excited to get in the booth tomorrow for @DecypherPodcast!
Bitcoin in DeFi has a weak link. On Decypher, we sat down with @csentropy of @PortaltoBitcoin to break down how Portal enables native, bridge-less, noncustodial interoperability for Bitcoin across chains... And what that means for the future of DeFi infrastructure. Full conversation below:

A lot of discourse around @monad lately. Here's @keoneHD on if the network could flip Solana or Ethereum's ecosystem someday...

New Decypher episode: a conversation with @Mira_Network. We dive into their vision for trustless AI output verification—a decentralized network that makes AI claims independently verifiable. In this convo: • Why hallucinations make today’s AI unreliable • The mechanics of decentralized truth-finding for AI • What a world with trustless AI systems could look like Full episode → below.
Stablecoins are DeFi’s backbone—but most designs still carry fatal flaws. On Decypher, we sat down with @protocol_fx to talk about their approach around fxUSD, a zero-volatility stablecoin, and how their approach evolves beyond existing models. Full conversation → below
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) lets you compute on encrypted data without ever decrypting it. It could change how we think about privacy, smart contracts, and AI. On Decypher, I spoke with @randhindi, founder of @zama_fhe, about where FHE stands today and what it makes possible. Listen below:

Thanks for having me @JackNiewold . TLDR; Bitcoin needs L2 for a better future!
On this episode of Decypher, we chat with @kevinliub about @GOATRollup , a Bitcoin Layer 2 that’s redefining what’s possible on Bitcoin. We break down how it scales, what makes it different from other L2s, and why it could be the foundation for the next wave of Bitcoin applications — from DeFi to NFTs to gaming. Listen below!
