For this week’s episode, Jacquelyn interviewed Stani Kulechov, the founder of Avara, formerly known as Aave Companies.

The company is probably best known for Aave protocol, its platform-focused stablecoin GHO and its social network protocol Lens.

The web3-focused software technology company announced exclusively on our podcast their rebranding as well as a strategic acquisition of an Ethereum-based crypto wallet. The name Aave will still exist, but through Aave Protocol and Aave Labs, two organizations’ under Avara’s umbrella brand.

We discussed the rebrand, acquisition, changes to projects under the Avara umbrella and content creator monetization on decentralized social media platforms and what it can look like.

We also talked about:

  • Lens transitioning out of beta phase
  • Decentralized versus mainstream social media
  • The future of social networks
  • What’s next for Avara
