“If Messenger, Telegram, and WhatsApp were built with XMTP, everyone could use their preferred app. You could use Messenger to message your dad on WhatsApp and to message your friend on Telegram. And one day, if you all decide to use the same app, you could do so seamlessly with all your messages and contacts available in your interoperable inboxes.” This is the future that Matt discusses with us today on Base Layer, one of the more important ideals that digital assets have pushed forth - interoperability and control of your messages, identity, finances, and more. This is an amazing conversation with a founder who has been around digital assets for many years. You can find out more about XMTP here.

Asta Li, co-founder at Privy, joins me for a fantastic talk about the movement happening in digital assets, focused on building delightful consumer-centric products.
