Mert Mumtaz on Pudgy Penguins, Solana's Vision, and The Blockchain Endgame

For today's episode, we sit down with Mert Mumtaz to examine Solana's technical architecture and its impact on blockchain scalability. Solana established itself by achieving high speeds and low transaction costs, challenging traditional blockchain limitations.

The platform's approach to scaling focuses on increasing bandwidth while reducing latency - a departure from conventional blockchain design. This strategy has led to innovations in block production, including a multi-proposer system and new solutions to MEV challenges.

We also discussed the Pudgy Penguins launch on Solana and learned why Mert is excited about the community growth on Solana and what really happened with the claim process which seemingly clogged Solana.

Key topics in our conversation include ZK compression implementation, managing high transaction throughput, and the practical implications for developers and users within the ecosystem. We'll explore how these technical decisions affect both current operations and future development.

Join us for a technical deep dive into Solana's blockchain architecture and its broader implications for the field.

DeFi By Design EP2: DAI Deep Dive

DeFi By Design EP2: DAI Deep Dive

Welcome to episode #2 of the DeFi By Design Podcast! On today’s episode we had the opportunity to host Kenton Prescott! Kenton is an Integrations Engineer at the Maker Foundation, which developed the Maker Protocol and is actively contributing to the MakerDAO ecosystem. Dai is an Ethereum-based stablecoin, pegged to the USD. It’s the world’s first global unbiased digital cash and is the core feature of the Maker Protocol. Kenton’s role is focused on improving the integration experience of Dai and Maker Vault functionality into supporting platforms, ranging from Crypto Wallets to Exchanges. As the oldest stable coin in the industry, Dai is foundational to Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Manifested through varying products such as borrowing, lending, prediction markets, and trading, DeFi is an ecosystem and movement that utilizes decentralized networks and open source software to improve financial systems through transparent, connectable protocols. Before joining Maker, Kenton was actively involved in rocket propulsion systems, working for SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, and a NASA-funded Cryogenic Fluids Lab during his Aerospace Engineering studies at the University of Florida. He is a self-taught coder and occasional adventurer.
