Few protocols are able to bounce back from a big exploit, let alone come back with more innovation and ambition than before.

Tune in to hear @euler_mab talk about the ins and outs of his journey building @eulerfinance so far!

The strategy of using L2s to scale Ethereum comes with the well known problem of liquidity fragmentation. Maybe, just maybe, if we had one blockchain that could scale, be fast and do it all with little to no trade offs, then we could all just migrate all liquidity to it. The team at @nil_foundation believe this is achievable. Today we chat with @avizurlo CPO at nil to discuss everything L2 and how they are planning to build the end game L2.

Things you can do with crypto:

- Immutable programmable ledger

- Send money internationally, instantly

- Start a country?!

Today we speak with @ZacharyDash , founder of @EpochIsland , who is trying to do exactly that. Start a country, through crypto.

Exploit funds recovery is one of the most stressful, challenging and rewarding areas of web3 security.

Tune in to hear from @0xaddi , white-hat hacker who help Curve rescue $6M from their exploit last July.
