💡 Tuesday
ETH Bottom Calls, MetaMask Woes & DeFi Yield Strategies
ETH’s sharp bounce and growing ETF inflows fueled debate on whether the market’s pullback is a healthy correction or just noise, with Solana treasuries and Fed rate cut odds shaping sentiment. MetaMask frustrations boiled over after a clunky update left transactions broken, leading Cap and Steve to consider migrating wallets to Rabby. DeFi was another focus as they walked through yield strategies on Meteora and Project X, weighing airdrop chasing against conviction plays. The episode also covered cascading NFT loan liquidations, Moonbirds’ standout community perks compared to other ecosystems, and Coffee with Captain’s new Other Page badge challenge that gives listeners a shot at 10K $APE. The show closed with optimism for ApeChain’s vibe coding bootcamp aimed at bringing new builders onchain.
🔗 Wednesday
Kaito’s Loyalty Update + Hyperliquid Outpaces Robinhood
Kaito’s latest loyalty update dominated early discussion as the crew debated whether boosting leaderboards for stakers and ecosystem PFP holders builds real community or tilts too heavily toward whales. The conversation shifted to Hyperliquid’s rapid rise, with trading volume surpassing Robinhood and sparking comparisons to traditional finance platforms. Cap and Steve unpacked how its ecosystem of perps, yield strategies, and cult-like following is shaping the current market cycle, while also stressing the importance of balancing opportunity with risk as DeFi continues to evolve.
🤖 Thursday
Myriad Prediction Markets, $REKT Finds Its Range & SBS 30-Second Drafts
Prediction markets stole the show as we zeroed in on Myriad’s season mechanics, points flow, and what a future token could unlock for early users. We compared the experience with Polymarket and Kalshi, calling out where Myriad’s Learn and test modules still feel clunky and how that impacts adoption. The crew also covered $REKT after a strong run, noting the current pullback and the search for a new trading range while the brand keeps its momentum. SBS Best Ball brought the fun with rapid 30-second drafts and ETH-denominated prizes, making it easy to jump in, experiment with builds, and finish a draft in about half an hour.

Katana’s DeFi Chain Incubated by Polygon + Seamless Yield Vaults
Special Guests:
Crypto Texan - DeFi Lead at Katana: https://x.com/Crypto_Texan
Katana - a DeFi-first chain with high yield and deep liquidity: https://x.com/katana
Crypto Texan joins Cap and Steve to introduce Katana, a DeFi-first chain incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR that is built to simplify yield for everyday users. The interview explores how Katana enables seamless bridging from more than 70 chains, letting depositors move funds directly into vaults through either a quick Express bridge or a slower, cost-efficient native option. They discuss Katana’s seasonal rewards model and chain-owned liquidity approach, which reinvests yield back into the network to sustain long-term growth. With a mission to make DeFi accessible while still offering depth for advanced users, Katana emerges as a credible new player in the Web3 ecosystem.
