About this listen
I sit down with João Simoes — a true builder, repeat founder, and one of the sharpest BD minds in Web3. We go deep on his journey from running Portugal’s first Bitcoin mining company to building and exiting a restaking startup and now co‑founding Hyperwave on Hyperliquid. We unpack why Hyperliquid is thriving, what real community‑driven growth looks like, and the problem Hyperwave is solving with standout DeFi vaults and future payment rails. We also dive into market trends, real‑world events shaping crypto, and practical advice for builders in 2026. Honest, real and full of insights.
