All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode here of the Crypto 101 podcast.

I'm your host, joined by, as always, my notorious compadre, Mr. Aaron, aka Pizza Mind.

I'm sure you're doing well.

I know the markets have been green.

So any complaints today, Pete?

You would be wrong, sir.

I've been short since about 21K.

And it is actually snowing outside.

So, yeah, not quite an avalanche, but a little more than flurries over here in Dallas, Texas today.

So screwing up all my plans for the week.

But one thing that is going off without a hitch, as always is the Crypto 101 podcast.

We will be here morning, noon, night, holidays, Chinese New Year, apocalypse.

We're not going anywhere.

We're 500 episodes deep, boys.

But let's get one more under our belt.

Today we're going to be talking about Avalanche, the Layer 1 protocol for people who are really in it for the tech and with us today we

have the head of engineering Patrick O'Grady thanks for joining us from also the snowy

northeast how are you doing over there great yeah thanks for having me excited to be on a podcast

talking about those flurries avalanche I I guess. Yeah. So, you know, it's, as you

mentioned here for the tech, right? So I've been at avalanche for the last, you know, two years or so.

And, you know, the reason that brought me here was really just conversations like this talking

about what makes avalanche interesting and, you know, really excited to help people understand that.
