Hey there, and welcome back!
Today, we’ve got Simon, co-founder of Chainflip, on the mic — talking about Bitcoin swaps, ignoring crypto noise, and why building across chains is way harder than it looks.
Before we dive into the tech, Simon shares how being around since 2014 shaped his view on the space, why he doesn’t care what people are trading anymore, and how he’s learned to tune out the meme coin circus while focusing on real problems.
We get into the four-year grind of building Chainflip, why most bridges avoid Bitcoin, and what makes swapping across chains such a pain.
Plus, we talk about Thorchain, the challenge of bootstrapping a validator network, and how Chainflip handles cross-chain swaps without relying on wrapped assets.
It’s a conversation about building through bear markets, making smart bets, and why cross-chain swapping still isn’t solved. Grab a seat and let’s get into it!
