In this episode of the DeFi Podcast, we're joined by Boris Mamlyuk, CEO and co-founder of STXN, who shares his journey from tenured law professor to blockchain innovator.
Boris discusses STXN's groundbreaking work on "smart transactions" - technology designed to dramatically reduce the 15%+ failure rate plaguing blockchain transactions.
Alongside hosts Bill, JF, and Rhett, we examine the impact of recent tariff announcements on crypto markets, debate Ethereum's economic model following Kane Warwick's controversial thread, and explore how STXN is building decentralised infrastructure to make blockchain more accessible.
