Igor Mikhalev, Partner and Head of Emerging Technologies Strategy at EY Parthenon, joins us to explore the potential of Web 3.0 to reshape our economic future and move towards the next era of capitalism. This episode examines decentralized ownership, data empowerment, collaborative ecosystems, and building purposeful ventures in the decentralized space.

In this episode, we sit down with Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix and one of DeFi’s earliest innovators. Kain explains how Havven became an early stablecoin system, how the team solved multi-asset debt tracking, and why oracle design shaped the project’s evolution. He walks through the challenges of synthetic assets, the rise of perpetual futures, and the shift toward hybrid on-chain/off-chain trading models. We also discuss lessons from Terra Luna, the 2019 oracle exploit, and how Infinex aims to simplify professional-grade DeFi trading.

In this episode, we speak with Sam Lambert and Theodore Morisis, the founders of Palmyra, a Cardano-based platform bringing transparency and fair access to global commodity markets. They explain how Palmyra helps farmers capture verifiable supply-chain data, meet regulations like EUDR, and connect directly with buyers through its traceability tools, B2B marketplace, and consumer storefront. The discussion also highlights lessons from their Zambian pilot, offline-first design for low-connectivity regions, and why Cardano’s security and reliability provide a strong foundation for mission-critical trade infrastructure.
