Kevin from Layer 1X joins Sam Kamani to discuss how they’re building a quantum-resistant, bridgeless blockchain that enables secure cross-chain swaps, multi-chain token issuance, and zero-gas fee transactions. Kevin also shares insights from his PhD in blockchain and quantum computing, and why he believes most of Web3 is unprepared for the quantum era. If you're building in DeFi, infrastructure, or cross-chain protocols, this one's a must-listen. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces Kevin and the episode’s focus on Layer 1X, quantum computing, interoperability, and cross-chain infrastructure. [00:01:00] Kevin’s Background: Kevin shares how he entered Web3 in 2019, built a rewards platform, and began exploring quantum and blockchain through a PhD. [00:03:00] What Layer 1X Does: Layer 1X aims to enable bridgeless interoperability, empower developers, and offer quantum-resistant infrastructure. [00:05:00] Quantum Threats to Blockchain: Kevin explains quantum threats to cryptography and how error correction in quantum computing could make current blockchains vulnerable. [00:07:00] Blockchain Upgrades for Quantum Safety: Can Bitcoin or Ethereum become quantum-resistant? Kevin shares thoughts on protocol-level upgrades. [00:11:00] Why Build a New L1?: Kevin explains why Layer 1X had to be its own L1 — to control cross-chain validation, optimize gas, and integrate quantum resistance from the start. [00:15:00] Beyond the Chain: Multi-Chain Rollups and Use Cases: A look at how Layer 1X enables multi-chain rollups, composability, and better use of underutilized chains. [00:17:30] Use Case - Gaming & Identity: Kevin shares examples of how game assets and user tokens can function across multiple chains with Layer 1X. [00:20:00] Liquidity Abstraction & DeFi Fragmentation: How Layer 1X is solving one of DeFi’s biggest problems — fragmented liquidity across chains. [00:24:00] Growth & Campaigns: Kevin discusses their successful “Swapathon” and upcoming campaign making cross-chain swaps gasless and free. [00:27:00] Revenue Model & Incentives: How Layer 1X is already generating revenue through cross-chain fees, NFTs, and tokenomics innovation. [00:30:00] Release Pool Model: An anti-dump mechanism allowing token distribution based on market demand and long-term health. [00:32:00] Web3 Blindspots: Kevin argues Web3 projects are too focused on token price and not enough on sustainable revenue or infrastructure. [00:35:00] Trends for 2025: More projects will go multichain, off-chain services will go on-chain, and awareness of quantum resistance will grow. [00:37:00] Funding & Next Steps: Layer 1X is raising $25M to scale adoption and expand its quantum-resilient protocol stack. [00:38:30] Closing: Sam recaps the value Layer 1X brings to the Web3 space and thanks Kevin for sharing his journey.

Can encryption make Ethereum more fair? In this episode, I speak with Loring Harkness , the ecosystem lead at Shutter Network , about a crucial — and often ignored — issue: malicious MEV. Loring explains how MEV bots extract value from unsuspecting users through front-running and sandwich attacks — and how Shutter uses threshold encryption to stop it. We talk about encrypted mempools, the recent whitepaper proposing encrypted mempools for Ethereum, and how commit-and-reveal encryption is already protecting DAOs, auctions, and bounties via Shutter’s API. Loring also shares his journey from building financial inclusion tools in Myanmar to becoming a passionate advocate for privacy and credible neutrality in Web3. Whether you're building a dApp, trading onchain, or want a fairer Ethereum — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, Sam is joined by co-host Amanda Whitcroft to interview Hoansoo Lee, co-founder of Exabits.ai. With a PhD from Harvard and deep expertise in edge computing, Hoansoo shares how Exabits is decentralizing the GPU cloud for AI by combining high-performance chips like the H100 and Blackwell with tokenized infrastructure on Web3 rails.

In this episode, recorded live from New York during the Digital Asset Summit, Sam sits down with Matt Wright — founder of Gaia and partner at EVM Capital. Matt has been building at the frontier of developer ecosystems, decentralized tech, and now AI agents. He walks us through his journey from organizing global hackathons to JP Morgan and ConsenSys, and finally to Gaia — a decentralized inference network for AI agents. We discuss how AI agents are about to become the dominant users of the internet, why the current stack is overly reliant on centralized providers like OpenAI, and how Gaia empowers developers to run their own sovereign LLMs with zero data leakage. Matt also breaks down Gaia’s unique domain system, monetizing knowledge bases, and how Web3 primitives (like tokens, wallets, and identity) make agent coordination actually work. If you're curious about the intersection of AI and blockchain, and what the future of work might look like in an agent-native world, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces the episode, live from New York at the Digital Asset Summit, featuring Matt Wright from Gaia.

[00:02:00] Developer Culture: Matt contrasts how developers in Asia and the West ship products—and how Gaia merges both. [00:05:00] Enter Gaia: The idea behind Gaia, born at the intersection of decentralized AI and blockchain. [00:08:00] AI Agents: Why the future of apps is agentic, and what most people don’t yet understand about AI agents [00:11:00] Gaia Nodes: How Gaia enables anyone to own, host, and serve AI models without relying on centralized APIs. [00:14:00] Enterprise Data: Why 80% of the world’s useful data lives off-chain—and how Gaia helps unlock it. [00:17:00] Current Use Cases: Matt shares examples from DeFi, Fitch Ratings, and other niche knowledge bases powered by Gaia. [00:20:00] Monetizing Knowledge: Gaia’s domain system and how developers can turn knowledge into APIs for agents to query. [00:22:00] Challenges with Agents: The three major problems—hallucination, agentic complexity, and trust—and how Web3 solves them. [00:25:00] Web3 + AI Synergy: Why reputation, wallets, and governance unlock a new kind of agent-native internet.
