  • The IP Layer for Agents
    2025/05/27

    In this episode of the Building Web3 podcast, host Jax Dwyer sits down with Nirav Murthy, cofounder of Camp Network, to unpack how Camp is pioneering the user-owned data economy. As AI moves from general-purpose to user-specific agents, Camp is building a vertically integrated blockchain — purpose-built for decentralized applications, agent deployment, and IP monetization.

    From user-owned data and real-time royalty flows to chain-level UX optimization and the future of AI agents, Nirav breaks down how Camp Network blends crypto infrastructure with practical Web3 adoption. You'll learn why Camp needs a dedicated L1, how it prioritizes IP and AI transactions over MEV, and why horizontal integration can’t deliver the same developer experience. If you're building decentralized applications, optimizing onchain UX, or rethinking the future of human work in an AI-native world — this episode is for you.

    We also dive into:

    • Why vertical integration matters in Web3


    • How to tokenize and license your own data


    • AI agents, chain abstraction, and real-world adoption


    • What DePIN, stablecoins, and royalties have in common


    • Whether every app really needs a token

  • DePIN, AI & Crypto Infra
    2025/05/05

    In this episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, host Jax Dwyer sits down with Raullen Chai, co-founder and CEO of IoTeX, to explore the explosive intersection of DePIN, AI, and crypto infrastructure—and how IoTeX is building decentralized infrastructure to support the future of machine-powered economies.

    From autonomous vehicles earning passive income to decentralized 5G networks and real-world IoT applications, IoTeX is leading the DePIN movement with a mission to connect machines, people, and capital. Unlike traditional crypto protocols, IoTeX combines onchain and offchain infrastructure, supports multi-chain deployments, and enables builders to launch scalable, real-world networks using Web3 rails.

    Raullen also shares how IoTeX is different from other DePIN layer-1s like Solana or Base, and explains why the long tail of DePIN builders in developing markets will drive the next wave of adoption. You’ll also learn how IoTeX's MachineFi vision laid the groundwork for today's DePIN narrative—and why decentralized infrastructure matters for telecom, agriculture, GPS, and beyond.

    We dive into governance, cross-border DePIN coordination, and how AI agents will soon play a leading role in managing crypto-native infrastructure autonomously.

They unpack the concept of vertical integration in crypto, and why SUPRA is taking the opposite approach to modular chains like Celestia and Ethereum rollups.
    SUPRA isn’t just a high-throughput chain. It’s built for developers, with native oracles, automation, bridging, randomness, and other essential crypto infrastructure baked directly into the L1. This architecture dramatically reduces latency, improves execution quality, and increases shared security across the protocol. Jon breaks down how this vertical stack compares to using third-party tools like Chainlink, Gelato, or Axelar, and why tighter integration leads to better outcomes in trading, DeFi, and real-world applications.

    The conversation also dives into Move, the smart contract language born from Facebook’s Libra project. Jon explains why SUPRA went Move-first, the benefits of object-oriented architecture for asset safety, and how Move compares to Solidity for secure Web3 development. Plus, he shares how SUPRA is expanding with multi-VM support, bringing EVM, Solana VM, and Cosmos into its ecosystem to attract a broader base of developers and liquidity.

    From stablecoins and decentralized identity to multi-chain app deployment and AI agent integrations, this episode covers the full spectrum of modern blockchain design. Jon shares how SUPRA is enabling zero-latency automation, DeFi price feeds, cross-chain execution, and innovative subscription payments—all while maintaining a high-performance, developer-friendly environment.


    Key topics covered:

    - What is vertical integration in crypto and how SUPRA applies it


    - SUPRA’s built-in oracles, automation, and secure infrastructure


    - Move vs Solidity and why SUPRA prioritized Move for security

  • Why Ethereum Needs Based Applications Now | SSV Labs
    2025/04/09

    In this episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, Jax Dwyer sits down with Alon Muroch, co-founder and CEO of SSV Labs, to explore the future of decentralized infrastructure on Ethereum. Alon breaks down how SSV Labs went from a research initiative within the Ethereum Foundation to one of the largest staking protocols in the world — currently running nearly 90,000 Ethereum validators and on track to become the second-largest validator network on mainnet.

    The conversation dives deep into staking, validator security, and the emergence of “staking 2.0” — a new paradigm where validators can extend their functionality beyond securing Ethereum. Alon shares the vision behind SSV 2.0, why “based applications” matter, and how these apps allow Ethereum validators to earn more by securing protocols like oracles, bridges, ZK provers, and even AI agents.

    Jax and Alon also unpack why Ethereum needs to evolve in order to stay competitive against faster, more centralized chains like Solana. They explore how synchronous composability, better validator incentives, and leadership alignment could help Ethereum capture more value and mindshare — particularly among institutional players.

    From decentralized RPC ideas to prototyping frameworks for based apps, this episode is packed with startup ideas and insights for builders. If you're working on Web3 infrastructure, validator tooling, or scaling Ethereum, this is a must-listen.

  • The Future of Decentralized Identity | Nick from ENS
    2025/04/07

    In this deep-dive episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, host Jax Dwyer interviews Nick Johnson, the lead developer and founder of Ethereum Name Service (ENS). If you've ever wondered how crypto naming works, or why it's more important than just convenience, this episode is a must-listen.

    Nick explains how ENS simplifies Web3 by allowing users to replace unreadable wallet addresses with human-readable names like alice.eth. But this conversation goes far beyond naming. We unpack how ENS is building the backbone of decentralized identity and how it's modeled after the DNS system used across the internet today, while still remaining fundamentally different.

    We discuss the technical architecture of ENS, how it leverages Ethereum smart contracts for censorship resistance, and how users can integrate ENS with IPFS to host decentralized websites. Nick also addresses concerns around privacy, wallet traceability, and how ENS is working to empower users without compromising security.

    The conversation also explores the ENS DAO, its governance model, and how decentralization actually works in practice, flaws and all. We talk trade-offs, real-world effectiveness, and how ENS balances credible neutrality with strategic direction. Nick shares how ENS allocates grants, funds public goods, and contributes to the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

    This episode is full of insights for crypto builders, governance nerds, and anyone interested in the future of digital identity, crypto privacy, and user-owned infrastructure. Stick around for the end, where Nick shares a powerful startup idea that could radically improve transaction clarity and reduce phishing attacks in wallets.
