Al Morris is the founder of Koi. Koi is a ground-breaking project operating in the Arweave ecosystem, and promises to be a cornerstone of the new web. The project aims to redefine the way content is created and consumed on the internet through its content availability mechanisms and developer tooling. Al’s a thoughtful founder and lucid communicator so we were also able to touch on topics like the history of content incentivisation as well as the potential implications of decentralised media on state censorship and society at-large. Enjoy the show!

Kickstarting Web3: Bringing Value Exchange to Arweave with Tate Berenbaum and John Letey of Verto
Tate Berenbaum (https://twitter.com/TateBerenbaum) and John Letey (https://twitter.com/JohnLetey) from Verto (https://verto.exchange) are doing ground-breaking work in the world of Web3 and the Arweave ecosystem. In this episode, these talented young founders break down how Arweave works, as well as its smart contracting layer SmartWeave and its tokens, known as Profit Sharing Tokens. We discuss their projects Verto, Nest.Land, $QUAD and Atomic NFTs – all zero-to-one innovations which I believe underpin the future of the web. Tate and John articulate their ideas and creations in a way that was educational to me and I expect will be for the casual listener and Arweave-fanatic alike!

The Context-Aware Web with Chris Seifert of Kontext
Chris is a co-founder of Kontext – an exciting new project which expands on Web2 functionality using Web3 tools. Kontext ultimately aims to bring radically more powerful experiences to users utilising a new architecture for personal data and creation of recommendations. Imagine, for example, if Netflix tailored their recommendations based on your mood and who you were watching with, or Goodreads recommended books based on the content and videos you've been consuming around the web. This is the degree of unification that Kontext seeks to bring to the world.
We speak about the problems of Web3, the promise of Web3, Chris and the vision of Kontext and the promise of Ceramic, the decentralised network of smart identity and documents which Kontext draws heavily on.
Find out more about Kontext at Kontext.App (https://kontext.app) and follow Chris on Twitter (https://twitter.com/chriscyber2000).
