Welcome to a new interview!

Today is a very special one because I had the privilege of interviewing one of my all-time favourite crypto founders, Derek Yoo, the CEO of Purstake, a company that created Moonbeam and Moonriver.

Moonbeam / Moonriver are a Polkadot and Kusama respective Ethereum compatible smart contract platforms that make it easy to build, deploy, and operate decentralized applications. Both platforms leverage General Message Passing (GMP) to revolutionize the way we interoperate within the ecosystem.

Derek is an innovator, genius and kind soul that resembles a true web3 leader in my opinion. I hope I have been able to capture some of that today.
