Coco sold from Nigeria - is that something that could benefit from going onchain? What are the benefits? Why do we need a blockchain? And why Solana?

These were the questions I had for Henry Duckworth, Co-Founder of Agridex. Agridex are taking a refreshing approach to address the inefficiencies in the food supply chain. So what is the secret sauce?

They are starting with facilitating quick payments for farmers. They are not trying to get everyone on the incumbent supply chain onto their platform on day 1. That is a path many have tried and failed.

Instant settlements, getting robust financial services (finance, parametric insurance) for farmers as the next step, and then slowly opening the door for more supply chain participants to come onboard.

Solving farmers problems has been something very close to my heart for a long time, and I truly believe Blockchain based solutions can actually do that.

It was fascinating to hear Henry breakdown the problem statement and how he is approaching it. Enjoy the listen.

This is an age old question, Ethereum or Solana - which chain is better, who's got their product and ecosystem strategy right?

Back in 2021, the Ethereum DeFi summer was on, and Solana was hailed as one of the contenders for the Ethereum killer narrative - not sure why one chain needs to get killed for another to shine, but hey, this is crypto.

In this episode of the Tokenize podcast, I sit down with Christin Kim, VP of Research at Galaxy Digital, to discuss the topic of Ethereum vs Solana - and who's got it right. Forgive me if I come across as a Solana Maxi - I just can't help it.

Post FTX, Solana did a rise from the grave and since then has clearly been the Consensus chain of this cycle - definitely with regards to price action. However, are Solana's fundamentals robust? Will it be able to scale as a monolithic chain vs Ethereum's modular approach?

Will Solana's innovation hubs start decentralizing away from a few founding members? So many questions to be answered.

To many, Crypto and Blockchain are still solutions looking for a problem. The number of Traditional Finance (TradFi) leaders moving into DeFi, however, indicates that there are global financial services challenges that Blockchain can solve.

Welcome to season 2 of the Tokenize podcast, sponsored by Marinade. In this episode of Tokenize, I am joined by Hadley Stern, my co-host and the Chief Commercial Officer at Marinade.
