In this episode, we’re speaking with Grace Guan, co-founder of Unlonely, a web3 livestreaming platform, about web2 vs web3 media, inner workings of YouTube algorithms, and how traditional media platforms can stop exploiting creators by getting rid of ads and algorithms in this new iteration of media we’re building in web3.

Grace and her brother, Brian, co-founded Unlonely together and have been doing a phenomenal job of onboarding creators to the platform. Grace shares some stats on their user base and viewership in this episode as well as what she thinks people working on consumer crypto apps need to do differently in order to get more users onto their platforms.

If you’re a creator or anyone working adjacent to web3 media, you won’t want to miss this episode with Grace.

Grace was nominated by Winny and voted onto the podcast by Winny, Triumph, Maz, Andy Boyan, Birb, David Phelps, Lucas, Ernest Kou, and myself, Diana Chen.

Martin de Rijke, Growth Lead at Syrup, discusses Maple and their new platform launch, Syrup. Maple is an institutional DeFi lending and borrowing platform that connects institutional borrowers with lenders. Syrup is a DeFi platform that provides permissionless access to high-quality institutional yields. It is built on top of Maple and offers the same loans and lending engine but in a DeFi way. Users can deposit USDC and earn DRIP rewards, which can be boosted by locking up funds or using them in other DeFi protocols. Syrup aims to target both DeFi-native users and those looking for a set-and-forget yield solution.

Zuki is a Core Contributor at Ignition.

In this episode, we cover FBTC, a new omnichain token unlocking Bitcoin's full potential. Zuki explains what they believe to be a better design for tokenized BTC and how it could unlock over $1T in Bitcoin liquidity to be used across DeFi on Ethereum, L2s, and new L1s.
