Ben and Kat are voyagers traversing the wild and treacherous world that is crypto. Be NOT afraid, your navigators are here.
But really, crypto is a confusing and (mostly) ridiculous landscape. We are trying to break it down in a real way that calls out the BS and focuses on the foundations first.
Ben is a Web3 developer, long-time coding/gaming nerd, and lead developer for Primordium. Kat is a crypto enthusiast and an integral part of the Primordium team. Join us as we discuss anything and everything crypto. We just might uncover some hidden gems lurking beneath the surface.
