Chain Ecosystem: Lessons From Apple App Store
The pursuit of scalability in blockchain networks has spurred the emergence of Layer 2 solutions, aimed at overcoming the limitations of Layer 1 blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These Layer 2 networks offer enhanced transaction speeds, lower fees, and improved scalability by processing transactions off-chain and settling them on the main blockchain, thereby extending Layer 1’s capabilities while retaining their security features. This is a crucial technological step forward to bring blo...

Web3 Mobile Hardware: The Key to Mass Adoption?
The first wave of Web3 applications has been promising, but adoption has been slow. While there are a number of factors contributing to this, one of the biggest barriers is usability. The decentralized nature of Web3 makes it inherently more complex than Web2, and many users find the experience confusing and difficult to navigate. The decentralization that comes with Web3 has forced individuals to become responsible for taking their online security into their own hands. Removing that responsi...

Decentralized Social Networks: The Path To Viability
In this post, I'll analyze the success of incumbent social media to explore the viability of decentralized social networks, and propose a growth framework for Decentralized social media (DeSocial) startups to capture the market in this space. Social media has revolutionized the way we connect and interact with others. However, these platforms have also been criticized for their centralized nature, which gives companies control over user data and the ability to censor content. Decentraliz...

Proposal: DeFi Lending with Tokenized Real Estate Assets
A business proposal that I did together with a group of 2 other MBA students and 2 UChicago Law students.IntroductionDecentralized finance in its current state tends to be circular: investors use crypto assets to take out loans in crypto or earn yield on their crypto in the form of crypto. While this has been a big step forward, the industry needs to be able to interact with assets in the real world before it can produce meaningful economic activities. Bringing real world assets on-chain offe...
