In this episode, we dive deep into the technical landscape of blockchain interoperability with Thomas Clowes. We explore the groundbreaking ERC-7930 and 7828 standards, which are designed to bridge the gaps between major ecosystems like Bitcoin, Solana, and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

Thomas has a background in Engineering and over 15 years of career experience in the domain name industry, having previously worked at DomainNameSales.com and Uniregistry.
