Sylve Chevet⁠ is Co-Founder & CEO at ⁠Hylé⁠ , the core layer for the modular Zero-Knowledge stack, a secure, decentralised, censorship-resistant settlement layer for all ZK proofs (ZKPs). --- This is a 15 minute excerpt. If you want to get the full experience with the 55 minute episode on our newsletter Venture Notes, enjoy a 50% discount for 12 months by redeeming it on this link: https://venturenotes.substack.com/hyle --- Hylé, a French startup, is viewing the zero-knowledge proof space from a fresh angle. Hylé is tackling one of the most pressing challenges in blockchain: how to make zero-knowledge proofs more accessible, efficient, and scalable. Their approach is fascinating, they're building a modular blockchain infrastructure that specializes in verifying these proofs, potentially opening up a whole new world of applications. But Sylve isn't just here to talk tech specs. He brings a unique perspective on the broader implications of this technology. From bridging the gap between blockchain purists and mainstream adoption, to envisioning a future where cryptographic privacy is as ubiquitous and invisible as HTTPS, Sylve's insights challenge us to think bigger about the potential of zero-knowledge proofs. We'll be diving into the technical details of Hylé's approach, exploring emerging trends in ZKP adoption, and discussing the philosophical questions that arise as this technology matures. --- Learn more about Hylé, their story and their fundraises: https://medium.com/@hyle-eu/hylé-raises-3-4m-to-build-the-future-of-zk-proof-verification-cc366c71b4d6 https://en.thebigwhale.io/article-en/blockchain-firm-hyl-closes-2-6-million-financing-round https://www.theblock.co/post/294187/framework-ventures-leads-2-6-million-funding-round-for-zk-proof-verification-project-hyle https://journalducoin.com/defi/defi-hyle-leve-26-millions-de-dollars-blockchain https://cryptoast.fr/france-blockchain-hyle-cloture-tour-table-2-6-millions-dollars-revolutionner-zkp/ --- The podcasts Runway Series Originals, AMA VC, Human Factor, No-Code VC / Fit, Venture Talks & Solo-GP Series are produced by UPCOMINGVC® ( ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠upcoming.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ), created and hosted by Raphael Grieco ( ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠olivecapital.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rapha.elgrie.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠raphael-grieco.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ).…

[REPLAY] Powering the Zero Knowledge Revolution, with Kurt Hemecker, now CEO of the MINA Foundation | a web3 episode 0:55

منذ 1 year0:55

Many catalysts are in place for the MINA ecosystem to flourish in 2024 and beyond. Back in April 2023, I recorded with Kurt Hemecker a ⁠Runway Series (venture capital, crypto/web3 podcast, runwayseries.co)⁠ episode about the ⁠Mina Foundation⁠ and how it serves the MINA Protocol. Learn why the tech is unique on Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://apple.co/41aUQEP⁠ Spotify: ⁠https://spoti.fi/41dFyiH⁠ -- Big crypto announcement for the Swiss / Geneva #crypto ecosystem. The Mina Foundation , a major crypto Foundation which serves the #zeroknowledge MINA Protocol, becomes a Swiss Foundation 🇨🇭, as it officially relocates from the US to Switzerland.. And for once, not headquartered in Zug but in Geneva! A rare occurrence, when usually Zug takes the lion share in the country when it comes to crypto attractivity and headquarters. Taking a step back, I even think that it is a strong signal for the benefit of the European crypto market vs. the US. Read more (in 🇫🇷) from Joan Plancade for Bilan Magazine : https://lnkd.in/ecKCw3BV Also, Kurt Hemecker (ex-PayPal, ex-Libra/Diem) is promoted from COO to CEO, taking over from MINA Founder Evan Shapiro who becomes President of the MINA Foundation. In 2022, MINA has raised more than $90M for its unique zero-knowledge protocol, notably for its constant size... of only 22kb. But there is much more to learn from the thriving MINA ecosystem and protocol. As a global pre-seed web3 investor focusing 100% on ZK with Olive Capital , and based in Geneva, I am really excited by this news for our ecosystem and about what Mina is building. - The podcasts Runway Series Originals, AMA VC, Human Factor, No-Code VC / Fit, Venture Talks & Solo-GP Series are produced by UPCOMINGVC® ( ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠upcoming.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ), created and hosted by Raphael Grieco ( ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠olivecapital.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rapha.elgrie.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠raphael-grieco.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ).…

In October 2019, UNICEF launched the CryptoFund, a new financial vehicle allowing UNICEF to receive, hold, and disburse cryptocurrency - a first for the UN. The CryptoFund is a pooled fund of bitcoin and ether and the investments made through the CryptoFund are denominated in crypto. In the context of the UN Venture Fund, cryptocurrency is an additional way for UNICEF to make investments into early-stage startups in emerging and developing economies. The CryptoFund is a prototype fund for UNICEF to explore the use of digital currencies, and what it means to operate in a digitally financed future. Sanna and Arun discuss reconciling financial returns with the ethical imperative of prioritizing children's well-being and address equitable distribution of technological benefits. The conversation explores promoting open-source solutions, inclusivity for women in tech, and striking a balance between short-term gains and long-term sustainability. Sanna and Arun provide an overview of the UN CryptoFund's alignment with UN goals and its project selection criteria and cover what they understand by successful projects and their impact, geographic focus, cryptocurrency funding, transparency, and the concept of digital public goods. The episode concludes with a glimpse into the future plans of these funds, offering a comprehensive overview of how unique this UN initiative is. In summary: Balancing financial returns with the ethical imperative for children's well-being. Equitable distribution of technological benefits and addressing the digital divide. Promotion of open-source solutions and implications for intellectual property. Fostering inclusivity and empowerment for women in the tech industry. Balancing short-term financial gains with long-term sustainability. Geographic focus, cryptocurrency funding, transparency, and future plans of the UN CryptoFund and Venture Capital Fund.

I am really excited about this episode, which is a deep dive into DeFi (decentralized finance) and decentralized lending, web3 leadership and communities, and the transformative potential for communities of Kairos Loan .

Kairos Loan is a new type of lending protocol allowing you to borrow instantly using an NFT as collateral and with the best rates on the market, according to Joseph. As the use of NFTs increases in various industries, NFT lending platforms are becoming increasingly important. This is due to the fact that NFTs are illiquid by nature, making it challenging for holders to access the value of their holdings. However, NFT loans offer a solution to this problem by allowing holders to use their assets as collateral to borrow funds. These platforms allow NFT holders to use their tokens as collateral for loans. This creates a new financial market for NFTs, as lenders can earn interest on their funds while borrowers can unlock the value of their NFTs without having to sell them. As the NFT market continues to grow, NFT loans have the potential to bring a new level of liquidity to the space and unlock even more use cases for these unique digital assets. As part of the recent €1M fundraise , Jo announced that “Kairos aims to democratize and revolutionize the finance surrounding NFTs. Their flagship tool, Kairos Loan, is a collateralized lending protocol that enables instant value mobilization without the need to sell your NFTs, offering the most favorable terms in the market.” According to Kairos, the startup wants to “ prioritize improving the user experience for borrowers while maximizing capital efficiency for lenders. With just a few clicks, users can leverage any type of NFT to get a crypto loan, completely eliminating liquidation risk and ensuring the best terms available” . Kairos protocol initially supports the most popular NFT collections on the Ethereum network such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Doodle or Azuki. In this podcast, we talk about: The principles of decentralization and empowering users to take control of their financial futures through Kairos Loan. Balancing innovation and progress with the potential risks and downsides of new financial technologies. The role of NFTs in the future of gaming and how Kairos Loan is shaping that future. The evolution of Kairos Loan in the next 5-10 years and its impact on the world of finance. The broader landscape of DeFi and blockchain-based finance, including opportunities and challenges for the industry. Defining and communicating a compelling shared mission for community-first companies, building thriving communities, and measuring success beyond traditional financial metrics.
