This week Anna and Tarun chat with Mert Mumtaz, co-founder and CEO of Helius, known for his contributions to the Solana ecosystem. They explore Mert’s background, his entry into the space, and his experiences during the 2022 market downturn and subsequent recovery. The conversation covers Solana’s positioning within the broader blockchain landscape and includes an overview of emerging ZK projects in the ecosystem. The episode wraps with an analysis of speculative assets, memecoins, and their broader implications. As always, the discussion is purely informational and should not be considered financial advice.
