GENIUS Act: America’s Web3 Breakthrough

Blockchain as Infrastructure: From Banking Systems to Public Services

When people hear blockchain, they often think about crypto prices and speculation. But behind the scenes, banks and governments are quietly using blockchain for compliance, automation, and public services. In this episode, we explore how a major European bank issued a fully on-chain financial product, and how an Indian city is deploying blockchain for civic services — showing that Web3 is growing up and becoming real infrastructure. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn [https://www.soundon.fm/]

From DAO to Platform: How DevDAO Is Rethinking Web3 Infrastructure

Web3 moves fast, but building in Web3 is still harder than it should be. In this episode of Web3 Unlocked, we take a deeper look at DevDAO’s launch of Web3 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) — and why this move matters far beyond a single DAO or product. Instead of focusing on tokens or speculation, we explore the real challenges Web3 builders face today: fragmented tooling, operational complexity, and heavy reliance on Web2 infrastructure. We discuss how DevDAO’s approach reflects a broader shift in the ecosystem — from experimental communities to DAO-governed platforms that provide real, production-grade services. This episode is about infrastructure, builders, and the quiet work that determines whether Web3 can actually scale. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn [https://www.soundon.fm/]
