Welcome to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money.

All right, everyone, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast. We hope everyone is having a fantastic day because no matter where you're coming in from in the world, you're certainly in the right place. We've got another great podcast in store for all of you because today we are joined by Paul Pway. He is the CEO and co-founder of EdgeWallet. Paul, welcome and it's great to have you, man. Hey, thanks so much for having me. Glad to be on Crypto 101 again. I think it's been a while, but I love what you guys have been doing as far as like the 101 title, right? Getting people the basics of crypto onboarding, hopefully, that next generation of folks. That is the goal over here is to bring in leaders and people from

our first iteration of edge, which was actually called AirBits. You know, we launched it in
