We’ve entered the third era of the internet, as Chris Dixon says,
from a16z. An internet owned by the builders and the users. web3
that blockchain will create a true decentralized data layer,
centered around three main characteristics, including
organizations around digital assets. In the future, every
organization will own and utilize digital assets, the same way
that every organization owns and utilizes physical assets today.
According to the crypto startup Narval, secure usage and access
control is the game in the digital property era. Key storage is
maturing, with significant advancements in MPC, smart wallets,
and HSMs, resulting in multiple options for securing keys - via a
custodian or self-custody or decentralized-custody - depending on
an organization’s needs and use-cases. As key generation &
storage decouples from the rest of the wallet stack, Narval's
core innovation is a granular governance and orchestration layer
over any key storage and custody model, designed from the ground
up to enable precise usage & access control over digital
property. In this episode, we welcome Greg Jessner
Co-founder & CEO @ Narval. With a recent
announcement of a $4 million seed round led by BlockTower, Narval
is accelerating on its journey to build the wallet management
platform for organizations. In this episode we explore the
ethical considerations of such control, the philosophical
implications of ownership in the web3 era, and the delicate
balance between decentralization and control. We'll also examine
Narval's core innovations, the technical intricacies behind their
security measures, and how their platform addresses the
challenges faced by organizations in securely using their digital
assets. Let's get into the episode right now.
