The Delphi Podcast

Join Ashwath Balakrishnan and Neel Daftary as they explore the future of DeFi infrastructure with Connor Howe, co-founder of Enso. After nine years of building in crypto, Connor has created what he calls "the shortcut to building on-chain applications" - a developer tool that abstracts away the complexity of integrating with hundreds of DeFi protocols. From powering Berachain's $3.1 billion launch to enabling developers to reduce build times from seven months to just days, Enso is positioning itself as the Unity engine for Web3.Enso: https://www.enso.build🎯 Key Highlights▸ Connor's nine-year journey from writing Solidity in Mist Wallet to building crypto infrastructure▸ How Enso powered Berachain's $3.1 billion DeFi launch behind the scenes▸ Reducing developer build times from 7 months to 1.5 days through abstraction▸ Why crypto needs more apps (4,800) than blockchains (1,000+) for mass adoption▸ The "fat engine thesis" - how abstraction layers will control blockchain routing▸ Enso's upcoming network model: action providers, grafters, and validators▸ The "Enso Drop" - accessing 370+ potential airdrops through network participation▸ Security through simulation: 4ms response times vs industry standard 2.6 seconds▸ Chain abstraction vs. application abstraction: the real path to user adoption▸ Why product beats paper in crypto's current critical juncture💡 Subscribe for more crypto & AI insights! 🔔🧠 Follow the Alpha▸ Connor's Twitter: @connor_enso▸ Enso's Twitter: @EnsoBuild🔗 Connect with Delphi🌐 Portal: https://delphidigital.io/🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/delphi_digital💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/delphi-digital/🎧 Listen onSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/62PR1RigLG2YN5Pelq6UY9?si=18ac7ccf36ab4753&nd=1&dlsi=50105fd66e6c4124Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-delphi-podcast/id1438148082Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Yy99ZlQIX9-PdG_xHj43QTimestamps00:00 — Intro: Connor Howe, Enso co-founder01:15 — Nine years building in crypto: from Bitcoin to Ethereum03:00 — Early DeFi development challenges and the birth of Enso05:00 — Chain abstraction vs. application abstraction philosophy08:30 — Serving 8% of Web3's developer mindshare (2,250+ developers)11:00 — Berachain's $3.1B launch: Enso's behind-the-scenes role13:15 — AI agents, automation, and new use cases emerging15:00 — Reducing build times: from 7 months to 1.5 days case study17:30 — Security through simulation: 4ms response times21:30 — Why we need products people actually want to use23:15 — New developer onboarding trends and product directions26:30 — The Enso Network: action providers, grafters, validators30:00 — Self-service protocol integration and scalability33:00 — Enso vs. Yearn comparison and strategy differences35:15 — Network economics and fee distribution mechanisms39:00 — Upcoming TGE and token utility design41:00 — The "Enso Drop": accessing 370+ protocol airdrops42:00 — Developer relations strategy: YouTube, universities, incubators45:15 — Keeping developers away from crypto Twitter for innovation47:15 — Fat protocols vs. fat apps: the abstraction layer thesis51:30 — "Product beats paper" - crypto's critical junctureDisclaimerThis podcast is strictly informational and educational and is not investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any tokens or securities or to make any financial decisions.

Join Tommy Shaughnessy from Delphi Ventures as he hosts Sam Lehman, Principal at Symbolic Capital and AI researcher, for a deep dive into the Reinforcement Learning (RL) renaissance and its implications for decentralized AI. Sam recently authored a widely discussed post, "The World's RL Gym", exploring the evolution of AI scaling and the exciting potential of decentralized networks for training next-generation models.

The World’s RL Gym: https://www.symbolic.capital/writing/the-worlds-rl-gym🎯 Key HighlightsThe three phases of AI scaling: Pre-training, Inference Time Compute, and the RL Renaissance. How DeepMind's novel RL approach (using GRPO) created powerful reasoning models with minimal human data. Understanding "reasoning traces" and how models learn to "think" longer and more effectively. The potential downsides of human preference data potentially inhibiting model creativity, drawing parallels to AlphaGo. Exploring the "World's RL Gym" concept: Decentralizing RL through open environments, diverse tasks, and verified data. Why open, collaborative RL environments might outperform closed-source labs in generating diverse AI strategies. The critical role of high-quality base models for successful RL fine-tuning. Future AI architectures: Continuous learning and the potential of modular Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. Current landscape: Open-source vs. proprietary AI, the challenge of model lock-in, and the role of crypto networks. Debunking recent claims that "RL is dead" and understanding its true impact. 💡 Want to stay updated with the latest in crypto & AI?
