In this special episode recorded live at the Blockchain Ireland Summit 2025, host Sebastian Grube sits down with one of the brightest minds in Web3 — Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, Avara, and Lens Protocol. If you’ve ever wondered where DeFi is heading or how blockchain could actually improve your everyday life (without needing to be a crypto wizard), this episode is for you.
Stani brings his signature down-to-earth clarity as he chats about Aave Labs’ exciting new launch in Ireland — the Family Wallet. Designed to make crypto more accessible to everyone, this wallet features a zero-fee on-ramp for users in Ireland, making it easier than ever to go from euros to stablecoins and back again. It's a big move that reflects Stani’s wider vision: bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized systems, all while keeping things user-friendly.
The conversation flows naturally from local innovation to global impact, as Stani explains why Ireland isn’t just a picturesque destination — it’s a key hub for product testing, regulatory clarity, and exceptional tech talent. With a strong regulatory foothold as a VASP and a team on the ground, Aave Labs sees Ireland as the perfect place to incubate bold ideas before rolling them out to the rest of the world.
Of course, we couldn’t have Stani on without talking about the bigger picture. With Aave currently securing over $43 billion in deposits, it’s clear that DeFi is no longer just an experiment. Stani shares his insights into the rise of stablecoins, the promise of tokenizing real-world assets, and why he believes the next wave of adoption will be both institutional and consumer-driven.
This episode may be short, but it’s packed with optimism, innovation, and practical vision. Whether you’re a developer, a founder, or just someone curious about the future of finance, Stani’s outlook is both inspiring and refreshingly realistic. So grab your headphones, get comfy, and enjoy this thought-provoking chat from the heart of Dublin’s blockchain scene.
