S8 E3 | Making Consumer Crypto Fun With Wearable Tech w/Winny (Chipped)

Rehash: A Web3 Podcast

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Winny about all things consumer crypto and wearable tech, onboarding the masses to crypto, and her new company, Chipped, which offers NFC embedded press-on nails that link people to your socials.

What’s really inspiring about the work Winny’s doing is that she’s found a way to make consumer crypto really fun and digestible to people outside of crypto by leveraging social rather than gamified experiences.

She shares some interesting takes about why consumer crypto hasn’t been super successful to date and what we need to do differently in order to make crypto products resonate with a mainstream audience.
