What does it take to build the most trusted wallet in the Solana ecosystem and keep it that way?
In this episode, Nicky sits down with Filip Dragoslavić, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Solflare, to talk about everything from the early days of Solana (think: 20 people in a Discord server with Anatoly answering every question himself) to what crypto wallets will look like in 2028 and beyond.
Filip pulls back the curtain on how Solflare went from a simple staking tool to a full-blown super app, and why 40% of their users never even leave the wallet to interact with outside apps. They also dive deep into some of Solflare's most exciting bets:
🛡️ Solflare Shield — a screenless, battery-free hardware wallet that rethinks cold storage from the ground up. Same security. A fraction of the price. Just tap your phone.
🔏 PAL (Privacy Aggregation Layer) — Solflare's new privacy toggle that lets users send transactions without exposing their address — and why this matters way more than most people realize (spoiler: crypto was never as private as the media claimed).
🤖 Agentic Payments — Why Solana is the only network capable of being the default payment rail for AI agents, and why Filip believes humans will always remain the ultimate decision-makers.
Plus: the Ethereum vs. Solana builder culture debate, the real reason privacy in crypto is so hard to solve, and how Solflare is quietly stripping away jargon to bring the next wave of users onboard.
Whether you're a DeFi degen, a crypto newcomer, or just obsessed with where Web3 is heading — this one's packed.
