Jay Kurahashi-Sofue: Ava Labs, $100 million Creator Fund & Ikigai

Vibes:

Never heard of Avalanche? No problem. Ethereum ? Yes ?

 

Ok, Ethereum isn't just the world's second-most valuable cryptocurrency. Its blockchain hosts myriad decentralized projects and has become a favorite for DeFi and DApp developers. Though Ethereum is currently the big fish in terms of blockchains, it has some significant competition that could one day surpass its success.

 

One such competitor, Avalanche, has a number of attributes that make it a potential Ethereum killer.

 

So, what is Avalanche, why is it becoming so popular, and is it better than Ethereum? 

 

We love this quote:

“Start with why. People do not buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” — Simon Sinek

 

Hence from the perspective of The Future Hour - We believe in sharing the Whys of the industry builders & leaders are crucial. For both education & mass adoption purposes.

 

Jay:

Our guest today is the VP of Marketing at Ava Labs, who joined the team in early May, 2020. 

 

For those are new to the crypto space - Ava Labs makes it simple to launch financial applications using blockchain technology; their flagship product is Avalanche.What is Avalanche ? It is an open-source platform for launching decentralized finance applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem.

 

With blockchain technology at their core, most of the companies they collaborate with fall within the blockchain industry: decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and stablecoins, to name a few. 

 

Outside of blockchain, they are also seeing a consistent growth in demand for the technology. Enterprises, institutions, and sovereign states have also connected with them to learn more about Ava Labs and their solutions. 

 

And the future hour has witnessed the impact with our own eyes especially during March & May In Barcelona & Berlin at 2 amazing avalanche events. (If you missed our first interview with Jay, the link is HERE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahRHz...  )
