Mike Purvis is an engineer, builders, and awesome human being. Early NEAR Core, co-founder at Croncats, and current contributor to Cosmos.

Some of the topics we cover on this wide ranging conversation with Mike:

  • Origins Story - Mike joining NEAR early days (2020) - working alongside founding team, hustle beast mode on.
  • Serendipity - magic happens when people are bored together. Importance of IRL event - we are getting a castle in Burgundy!
  • Founder’s Journey - difference between being a salaried employee and a founder.
  • Product Market Fit v Value Creation at an early stage ecosystem.
  • Importance of User Experience - deconstructing what needs to be true for mass adoption to occur.
  • Market Trends - group think, follow the leader: everyone giving out grants, rise of the multi-chain raidooors (Scammers). Now everyone is too tight with grants - how can we support the builders?!
  • Extinction events - setting a deadline for differentiation.
  • Community and culture - in search for a tribe. Soft skills that matter.
  • Origins Story of Croncats!
  • Automation and Long Running Smart Contracts
  • AVB shills a few product ideas as bait - #getMikeBack
  • Governance - decentralising tech v decentralising human structures. The return of the benevolent king?!
