This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston sits down with Ryan Tanaka, a longtime builder in the Tezos art ecosystem behind projects like TEIA, teia.cafe, and Tezcon.

The conversation starts with a moment many remember, when Hic et Nunc shut down. For some, that was the end. For others, including Ryan, it became the reason to rebuild.

🎙️ This episode explores what it actually takes to keep a creative ecosystem alive when the platform disappears.

🔍 In this episode, we explore:

  • Why Ryan chose to rebuild after Hic et Nunc instead of moving on
  • How fragmentation across tools like teia.cafe created real friction for users
  • Why music and on-chain media remain under-discovered on Tezos
  • What it’s like to build and ship features inside a DAO
  • Why simple ideas like wallet-to-wallet messaging are harder than they seem
  • What’s still missing for artists in the space today
  • How builders stay motivated through quieter market cycles
  • Whether decentralized platforms can avoid the same patterns as Web2
  • Why the Tezos art community has endured while others faded
