Today's special episode is the audio version of a research tech talk that I published on October 5, 2023, entitled The Consumer Crypto Stack: The 100x unlock in consumer crypto applications.

If you enjoy this talk and want to go deeper, I encourage you to check out recent and upcoming episodes of Web3 Galaxy Brain where I get to talk to many of the people working with Passkeys, Account Abstraction smart wallets, and L2s.

If you get value from Web3 Galaxy Brain and would like to support the show, please send me a tweet length testimony explaining what makes it special to you. I'll post the best testimonies to the website to help others discover the show, too. Thank you.
