Sometimes, the frontier is at a crypto conference. We’re returning from our adventures in Tel Aviv with nine exclusive interviews with some of the key players in the StarkNet space. 

Wish you could make it to all the crypto conferences, but don't have the time? Don't worry, Bankless brings the frontier to you.

In this episode, we’re talking to Motty Lavie, the founder and CEO of Braavos, the team behind the self-custodial Braavos wallet on top of StarkNet. As the fastest growing wallet on StarkNet, Braavos is paving new ground with smart contract wallets. If you can’t tell yet, David was heavily smart contract wallet-pilled after the Starkware Sessions.

In this episode, we’re talking to Yoav Weiss, a security fellow at the Ethereum Foundation and pioneer of account abstraction through EIP-4337. The future of smart contract wallets is massive—Yoav helps tell us how.
