Web3/BlockchainEP119 Web3 Realities: Beyond the Hype with James Zaki
00:30:21
In this episode of the Amata World podcast we speak with James Zaki, a Developer Relations Engineer at Aztec and host of London's weekly Web3 workshops. James shares his journey into Web3, starting with a recommendation from a choir member and leading to his passion for Ethereum's potential for evolution and programmability. The discussion covers the current state of Web3, comparing it to past tech hype cycles like AI, and emphasizes the importance of managing expectations. James provides advice for those interested in entering the Web3 industry, suggesting they explore applications within their own domains and stay curious about the technology. The conversation also touches on the significance of decentralization, the role of zero-knowledge proofs, and the potential for Web3 to empower individuals with control over their data. James highlights the recent upgrade with spectra and smart accounts, which will improve UX and make the integration of the tech easier. He also teases upcoming events in London and shares his contact information for those interested in learning more.
