Adoption, Cyberpunk Values and the Shift in Power with Temujin Louie

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Temujin Louie from Wanchain

Temujin Louie, warns that while compromise is inevitable, the industry must not abandon its original cyberpunk values and should focus on solving fundamental problems rather than chasing unsustainable trends. He stresses moving beyond token bridges, avoiding proprietary infrastructure, and aiming for true innovation that delivers lasting, open solutions.

Wanchain is a blockchain interoperability project connecting nearly 40 chains, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions and decentralized applications. Its mission is to replace fragmented, proprietary systems with open, sustainable infrastructure that drives real adoption and innovation.

We spoke to Temujin Louie about Wanchain and:

Fear of technology
Shift on power
Undoubtedly there will have to be some compromise
Solve fundamental problems first or cut ourselves out by the knees
Adoption and losing some of these values
The original vision
Cyberpunk values
99% of the industry is not sustainable
The next innovative thing that's going to happen
Move away from purely just token bridges
Replacing core infrastructure with proprietary product is never a good idea
An actual win outcome in solving this problem
