The latest Talking Tokens podcast 🎙️

For this week’s Tuesday episode, I interviewed Chris Osborn, CEO of Dialect.

This episode is a part of the Solana Sessions campaign that Token Relations and the Talking Tokens podcast are doing, diving into founders’ journeys and startups building on Solana. Check out the accompanying newsletter here.

About a year ago, Dialect co-launched blockchain links, or blinks, with Solana and has since powered over 600 integrations since then. We discuss how Dialect is on a mission to improve crypto integrations, the current user experience, creating more trust and security alongside developers and what’s next for mobile and desktop crypto applications.
