#377: Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs, on FLOW Blockchain, The Future of NFTs, and The Importance of Digital IP
Manage episode 444464394 series 2924143
Roham Gharegozlou is the Founder and CEO of Dapper Labs, and a Board Member of the Flow Foundation. After founding Axiom Zen in 2012, he developed multiple award-winning products and companies, including Routific and Zenhub. During this time, his team introduced ERC-721 to mainstream audiences and coined the term "NFT" with CryptoKitties, one of the first blockchain games to gain widespread popularity. Under Roham's leadership, Dapper Labs developed NBA Top Shot, NFL ALLDAY, and Disney Pinnacle. He was also instrumental in developing Flow, a blockchain designed for mainstream adoption.
Flow is now the home for consumer Web3, attracting major brands like Disney, Mattel, and Ticketmaster/LiveNation, with over 45 million user accounts on the network. With the biggest ecosystem fund in Web3 for supporting developers and projects building on Flow, the network was the L1 of choice for hackers at the most recent ETHGlobal hackathon. Roham holds BA, BS, and MS degrees from Stanford University.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- The origin story of Crypto Kitties & NFTs
- Fungible vs non-fungible things in life
- CryptoKitties new game
- General Web3: Future of NFT market, blockchain-based IPs
- The Crescendo Upgrade: Flow achieving EVM equivalence
- What EVM equivalence means for Flow, and on a wider scale, for developers and users
- How Flow is building web3's next killer app, and Crescendo's role in mobilizing that process
- Making Cadence one of the best smart contract languages in the industry
- DeFi on FLOW
- Digital IP
- Crypto in Canada
