Helios Horizons Ep.11 - Accelerating Web3 Adoption through Abstraction with Burnt Banksy

Helios Horizons

In Helios Horizons Ep.11, we chat to Burnt Banksy, the audacious disruptor who set the crypto world ablaze by burning a Banksy artwork and himself to announce the inception of Burnt XION, a pioneering Layer 1 network.
We explore his journey, from his time in New York during the rise of Uniswap and ICOs to mining ETH in his dorm room.
We chat about the legendary stunt where Burnt Banksy torched a Banksy piece titled "I can't believe you morons actually buy this s**t", before minting it as an NFT on OpenSea. The discussion touches on why he chose to burn this iconic piece and the alignment with Banksy's provocative spirit.
Shifting gears, we tackle the industry's pressing challenges in onboarding new users, especially in the form of technical barriers.
Enter Burnt XION: a walletless Layer 1 blockchain designed to create a chain-abstracted future, making blockchain technology more accessible and eliminating legacy obstacles.
Our discussion covers the importance of collaboration, innovation, and the need for the industry to break out of its insular mindset. We also highlight the critical transition from Web2 to Web3, emphasizing the importance of user-friendly experiences that meet people where they are, rather than expecting them to adapt to new technologies.
In our final chapters, we dive into the revolutionary marketing strategies of EarnOS, showcasing how cryptocurrency can power global, instant micropayments to boost consumer engagement. From loyalty programs with NFTs to partnerships with major brands like Sunglass Hut, we unpack the transformative potential of blockchain in traditional marketing.
We also touch on the anticipation surrounding new mainnet launches, the collaborative spirit required in launching tokens, and the humorous yet insightful ideas being pursued in the space. Whether it’s a stablecoin redeemable through a carnival-style cash grab booth or a rosé wine brand with NFC chips, this episode is packed with insights from a leader at the forefront of innovation in Web3.
