18:48

Coheed & Cambria are possibly one of the most important bands to emerge in this generation.

16:49

Interview by Simon Russell-White It's appropriate to skip the fluff on this one, for goodness’ sake it's Steve Harris (Bass/ Keyboards) we're talking to here and the importance of his "other band" (insert laughter here) Iron Maiden needs no explanation and/or justification. The focus tonight? The band he helped put back together piece by piece... Y…

11d ago55:27

55:27

Self-custodial wallets often represent the first point of contact for crypto users that venture away from centralised exchanges. As a result, their security and user experience should be paramount.

2d ago19:19

19:19

Interview by Kris Peters Given the frenetic nature of the modern music industry and the avalanche of new songs and music bombarding consumers from every direction, it is of little surprise that new and emerging bands get drawn into the common misconception that more is better.

Nansen: AI & Blockchain Analytics - Alex Svanevik 58:06

20d ago58:06

58:06

The saying goes that knowledge is power, and this perfectly applies to blockchains due to their innate transparency and immutability. However, raw data could seem, at first, unusable. This is where analytics companies, such as Nansen, play a major role in demystifying blockchain data by labelling it. In turn, curated data holds value as it can give…

1:08:49

In 2017, Vitalik Buterin defined the ‘Scalability Trilemma’ which consisted of 3 attributes that every blockchain had to balance depending on its intended use cases: decentralisation, scalability and security.

Mel Project: Is Web3 Truly Decentralised? - Eric Tung 1:18:06

18d ago1:18:06

1:18:06

Web3’s decentralisation is currently limited to smart contracts as they can be verified on-chain. However, until scalability and UX become on par with that of Web2, the only realistic way for crypto to reach mass adoption is threw off-chain dApps. This creates the premise for a security bottleneck in the form of centralised APIs used for on-chain q…

13:12

Interview by Kris Peters Three songs into their career, and Melbourne post-hardcore outfit This Point Forward are already making an impression.
