We are at the Axelar Interoperability Series. I'm talking to Fid from Squid. Fid from Squid.

0:18.3

I had no idea what Squid was, but when I came to the Axelar event, I talked to the co-founders

0:23.2

of Axelar and other people in this space. Who should I talk to? And so they said, you

0:27.7

should talk to Fid from Squid. So here we are about to go talk to Fid from Squid,

0:31.8

right after we're talking to these fantastic sponsors that make the show possible.

0:35.2

Crackin is our strategic sponsor for 2023. Why? Because Crackin has been around for over 12 years

0:41.0

and has proven itself to be deeply aligned with the crypto industry. Trusted centralized crypto

0:45.0

platforms are hard to come by these days, which makes the few remaining ones even more valuable.

0:49.5

With over 9 million users and not a cent lost, choosing Crackin as our strategic sponsor for 2023

is the best place I've ever seen to send someone to learn everything there is to know about Web 3.

1:27.2

If you're a company trying to onboard employees or you're a son or daughter trying to onboard

1:31.7

your boomer parents, Metamask Learn is the place to send them. Interactive and engaging lessons,

1:37.1

making learning about Web 3 fun and easy. Now, once you're through Crackin's gates and you've

1:42.2

taken the Metamask course on what's a Dex, you're safe to make your first stop into the world of

1:48.1

DeFi. Where better to start other than Uniswap. Uniswap is of course a decentralized exchange

1:52.8

for crypto asset trades and swaps, but it's now also an NFT aggregator as well, making Uniswap some
