In this episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, Jax Dwyer sits down with Jon Jones, the Chief Business Officer of SUPRA—a vertically integrated Layer 1 blockchain designed for speed, security, and scalability. They unpack the concept of vertical integration in crypto, and why SUPRA is taking the opposite approach to modular chains like Celestia and Ethereum rollups.
SUPRA isn’t just a high-throughput chain. It’s built for developers, with native oracles, automation, bridging, randomness, and other essential crypto infrastructure baked directly into the L1. This architecture dramatically reduces latency, improves execution quality, and increases shared security across the protocol. Jon breaks down how this vertical stack compares to using third-party tools like Chainlink, Gelato, or Axelar, and why tighter integration leads to better outcomes in trading, DeFi, and real-world applications.
The conversation also dives into Move, the smart contract language born from Facebook’s Libra project. Jon explains why SUPRA went Move-first, the benefits of object-oriented architecture for asset safety, and how Move compares to Solidity for secure Web3 development. Plus, he shares how SUPRA is expanding with multi-VM support, bringing EVM, Solana VM, and Cosmos into its ecosystem to attract a broader base of developers and liquidity.
From stablecoins and decentralized identity to multi-chain app deployment and AI agent integrations, this episode covers the full spectrum of modern blockchain design. Jon shares how SUPRA is enabling zero-latency automation, DeFi price feeds, cross-chain execution, and innovative subscription payments—all while maintaining a high-performance, developer-friendly environment.

In this episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, Jax Dwyer sits down with Alon Muroch, co-founder and CEO of SSV Labs, to explore the future of decentralized infrastructure on Ethereum. Alon breaks down how SSV Labs went from a research initiative within the Ethereum Foundation to one of the largest staking protocols in the world — currently running nearly 90,000 Ethereum validators and on track to become the second-largest validator network on mainnet.
The conversation dives deep into staking, validator security, and the emergence of “staking 2.0” — a new paradigm where validators can extend their functionality beyond securing Ethereum. Alon shares the vision behind SSV 2.0, why “based applications” matter, and how these apps allow Ethereum validators to earn more by securing protocols like oracles, bridges, ZK provers, and even AI agents.
Jax and Alon also unpack why Ethereum needs to evolve in order to stay competitive against faster, more centralized chains like Solana. They explore how synchronous composability, better validator incentives, and leadership alignment could help Ethereum capture more value and mindshare — particularly among institutional players.
From decentralized RPC ideas to prototyping frameworks for based apps, this episode is packed with startup ideas and insights for builders. If you're working on Web3 infrastructure, validator tooling, or scaling Ethereum, this is a must-listen.

In this deep-dive episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, host Jax Dwyer interviews Nick Johnson, the lead developer and founder of Ethereum Name Service (ENS). If you've ever wondered how crypto naming works, or why it's more important than just convenience, this episode is a must-listen.
Nick explains how ENS simplifies Web3 by allowing users to replace unreadable wallet addresses with human-readable names like alice.eth. But this conversation goes far beyond naming. We unpack how ENS is building the backbone of decentralized identity and how it's modeled after the DNS system used across the internet today, while still remaining fundamentally different.
We discuss the technical architecture of ENS, how it leverages Ethereum smart contracts for censorship resistance, and how users can integrate ENS with IPFS to host decentralized websites. Nick also addresses concerns around privacy, wallet traceability, and how ENS is working to empower users without compromising security.
The conversation also explores the ENS DAO, its governance model, and how decentralization actually works in practice, flaws and all. We talk trade-offs, real-world effectiveness, and how ENS balances credible neutrality with strategic direction. Nick shares how ENS allocates grants, funds public goods, and contributes to the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
This episode is full of insights for crypto builders, governance nerds, and anyone interested in the future of digital identity, crypto privacy, and user-owned infrastructure. Stick around for the end, where Nick shares a powerful startup idea that could radically improve transaction clarity and reduce phishing attacks in wallets.

27:42 How Skate is Revolutionizing DeFi and Tokenization
30:29 The Long-Term Vision for Web3 Interoperability
Interoperability has long been a challenge in Web3, with developers forced to deploy separate versions of their apps on multiple chains, fragmenting liquidity and creating inefficiencies. Skate is changing the game by allowing a single application to function across Solana, Ethereum, TON, Base, and other chains—without major code modifications. By leveraging EigenLayer’s economic trust and a cutting-edge intents-based execution model, Skate is enabling one-click interactions across chains, removing barriers for users and projects alike.
Why This Matters:
Today, most cross-chain interoperability relies on bridging assets rather than enabling true application-level interactions.
Skate eliminates this friction by allowing users to interact with apps across multiple chains without manually bridging or switching networks.
This revolutionary approach could make multi-chain fragmentation a thing of the past, unlocking new possibilities for DeFi, RWAs, and on-chain applications.
Key Topics Covered:
The current limitations of blockchain UX and how Skate is addressing them.
Why cross-VM interactions are crucial for Web3 adoption.
How Skate is leveraging EigenLayer for enhanced security.
The future of liquidity movement across chains and how Skate is optimizing it.
The impact of stateless applications on the blockchain ecosystem.
How Skate is enabling seamless access to DeFi, RWAs, and prediction markets.
What the future of blockchain infrastructure looks like, and how Skate fits into the bigger picture.
What are your thoughts on Skate’s vision for a fully interoperable blockchain world? Drop a comment below and let us know if you think stateless apps will shape the future of Web3!
