The latest Talking Tokens podcast 🎙️

For this week’s Tuesday episode, we’re sharing a recording I did with Alix Musset, Aptos Labs’ ecosystem success manager.

We discuss how Alix got into web3 (and worked with famous musician The Weeknd), her growth strategy for expanding the Aptos ecosystem, what other blockchains are getting right and wrong when it comes to ecosystem engagement and more.

Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain that launched in October 2022. Since then, Aptos has integrated a number of major traditional businesses like Blackrock, Stripe and NBCUniversal. It has grown substantially over the past two years into one of the biggest blockchains in the ecosystem. Earlier this month, it hit a new all-time high for total value locked at $1.25 billion.

I know I’m bias, but this was a fun episode that I think most people in crypto would enjoy listening to — and would learn from. With that said, reply to this email once you’ve listened or leave a review and let me know your thoughts!

Talking Tokens episodes are released on Spotify and Apple Podcasts at 6AM EST or YouTube at 8AM EST every Tuesday and Thursday.
