In this episode of Hashing It Out, the crew invites Alisher from Status App onto the show to discuss the long path from ICO to v2 of the App.
New design, infrastructure, architecture, and brand-new sensibilities are driving the Status App toward a truly peer-to-peer communications application for all of Crypto and Web3.
Alisher, a premier designer, spoke to some of why Status has specifically chosen a design framework to appeal to Web3 and build unique and sovereign communities.

Love Trapped
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
