In our fifth episode of KuTalks, we’re joined by Arthur Breitman, co‑founder of Tezos, to explore how trust in blockchain is built over time, the rise of real‑world asset tokenization, and Tezos’ ambition to power the next 100 million users.

Slashing events on Tezos: lessons from misconfigurations, evolving safeguards, and community‑driven governance mechanisms

Adaptive issuance and its role in reducing inflation, improving tax efficiency, and strengthening compatibility with DeFi and Layer 2 solutions
The groundbreaking tokenization of uranium on Tezos, and why bringing unconventional, high‑impact assets on‑chain excites more than tokenized money market funds
The potential for blockchain to become a destination for capital formation, enabling global reach and equity issuance beyond traditional markets
Tezos’ expansion into gaming, including AAA titles like Reaper Actual, and why gaming may be the gateway to mass adoption
The strategic role of exchanges in distribution, and how exchange‑led blockchains have historically succeeded in scaling user bases
