In this episode, Austin chats with Justin Wang (Zeus Network) about bringing Bitcoin onto Solana. Unlike previous BTC x Solana integrations, Zeus has built a new communication layer, termed as "Layer 1.5," to enable programmability for Bitcoin and other non-programmable UTXO chains on Solana. Justin shares Zeus' security model and other technical details about how Zeus manages transactions. He ultimately shares a vision for the future of web3 applications that could leverage Zeus to build more integrated and functional decentralized apps, suggesting the potential for Solana to interact with any PoW chains, not just Bitcoin.

How Zeta Markets’ L2 Makes a DEX Feel Like a CEX w/ Tristan Frizza

In this episode, Austin chats with Davis Hard (Solana Labs) to talk about GameShift, a new API designed to streamline blockchain integration for game developers on Solana.

Davis explains but the technicalities and practicalities of Gameshift, using current and future game projects as case studies. The conversation also touches on the broader context of Solana’s gaming ecosystem, the potential of meme coins in web3 gaming, and the hurdles remaining in the adoption of blockchain technology by traditional gaming studios.
