The latest Talking Tokens podcast 🎙️

For this week’s Thursday episode, I interviewed Ogle, co-founder of Glue and advisor to World Liberty Financial.

Ogle is also an onchain sleuth that has helped hacked crypto projects recover over $500 million – all pro bono. We talk about what’s important when it comes to crypto security and projects, chains and users protecting themselves.

We also discuss his advisory work on the Trump-backed World Liberty Financial crypto project, what it’s like working with some of the Trump family members, and what may be in store for the project, as well as the $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins. 

Lastly, we discuss the Glue blockchain and how it wants to audits every project building in its network in an effort to prioritize security onchain. 

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