BlockLayer Podcast is a series from the BlockLayer team, giving listeners rare, behind-the-scenes access to the founders building some of the most important companies in web3. In long-form, unhurried conversations, we go beyond the headlines and into what it really takes to build: what first pulled them into crypto, what they shipped (and what broke), how they hired and scaled teams, the decisions that nearly killed the company — and the moves that ultimately made it work. It’s the real story of building in web3: the wins, the chaos, and the lessons you won’t find in public threads.
