Governmental Criminals, Humanity and Philosophy with Seun Lanlege

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Seun Lanlege from Hyperbridge

In an interview, Seun Lanlege shared bold views on philosophy, science, blockchain, and politics—ranging from calling math “alchemy” to claiming Nigeria has the worst election fraud and that the government is the “biggest criminal.” He criticized Ethereum, praised Solana, warned that states could destroy humanity, and touched on profit, capitalism, and the moral compass of life.

Polytope Labs is a blockchain R&D company focused on interoperability, privacy, and scalability, best known for its Hyperbridge protocol. Backed by Web3 Foundation and Polkadot grants, it develops infrastructure to securely connect decentralized networks.

We spoke to Seun Lanlege about Hyperbridge and:

Philosophy is all about asking questions
Science is downstream from philosophy
The language of math, is a description of the universe
Math is this like alchemy
Nigeria has the worst election fraud
Doubling down on why Ethereum sucks
Solana is where Ethereum it’s at
Maximizing profit
Market always does capitalism
Grifters and all kinds of unsavoury characters
Blockchains inevitably will inherit the legal frameworks of countries
The right way, the hard way
Taxation
Biggest criminal, which is the government
The state is going to destroy humanity
