224: Merging Bitcoin & Ethereum—Jerry from Apex Fusion on Building a Scalable L1
Manage episode 466668943 series 3012250
In this episode ofWeb3 with Sam Kamani, I chat withJerry from Apex Fusion about their ambitious goal ofbuilding a next-gen Layer 1 blockchain that merges the best of Bitcoin & Ethereum.
🔥What makes Apex Fusion unique?
🔹 Atri-chain architecture combining security, speed & scalability
🔹Native liquid staking without the need for LSTs🔹A modular framework integrating both UTXO & EVM ecosystems
🔹Solving blockchain fragmentation by bridging major networks
🔹Regulatory clarity & the changing U.S. crypto landscape
If you're into Layer 1s, modular blockchains, or the future of Web3 infrastructure, this episode is a must-listen!

[00:00:00]Introduction: Sam introduces Jerry & the vision behind Apex Fusion.
[00:01:00]Jerry’s Background & Journey into Web3
Fromtraditional tech (Dell, CSC) to Cardano & blockchain
Howreading the Bitcoin & Ethereum whitepapers changed his perspective
WhyFidelity’s early Bitcoin adoption convinced him to go all in on crypto
[00:03:00]The Problem Apex Fusion is Solving
Thetwo major blockchain ecosystems: Bitcoin (UTXO) vs Ethereum (EVM)
Why interoperability between them is crucial for Web3’s future
Thechallenges of tribalism in crypto & the need for collaboration
[00:07:00]The Apex Fusion Tri-Chain Architecture🔹Prime: A puresettlement layer based on UTXO & Cardano’s tech🔹Nexus: AnEVM-compatible execution layer using Polygon Edge🔹Vector: AUTXO-based smart contract layer using Plutus & Haskell
Why splitting security, execution & scalability across different chains makes sense
[00:14:00]Solving the Blockchain Trilemma
Prime = Maximumsecurity & decentralization
Nexus & Vector = High-speedexecution & scalability
A neutral L1 that doesn’t compete with L2s
[00:17:00]Why Apex Fusion Has Native Liquid Staking
Unlike Ethereum,staking doesn’t require locking tokens
No need for liquid staking derivatives (LSTs)
More decentralized & capital-efficient staking model
[00:22:00]How Open-Source Innovation Drives Web3
Apex Fusion is inspired by both Satoshi & Vitalik’s vision
Encouraging builders to improve on existing blockchain architectures
The difference between Web2 & Web3 ecosystems
[00:27:00]Why This Cycle is Focused on Meme Coins Instead of Utility
How the rise of Solana & meme coins has created too much noise
Why real-world utility will ultimately win in the long run
Regulatory clarity in the U.S. & the impact on real Web3 adoption
[00:32:00]The Future of Crypto Regulation & U.S. Onshoring
Why many U.S. founders left & are now looking to return
The importance of clear regulation for Web3’s future
How Apex Fusion structured itself for compliance from day one
[00:38:00]Apex Fusion’s Roadmap
Prime mainnet launch in Feb-March 2024
Scaling through developers, partnerships & testnet adoption
Upcoming release of Nexus, Vector & the Router Bridge
[00:42:00]How Apex Fusion is Funded & Plans for Growth
$6M raised from strategic investors & TRGC VC
Why they avoided excessive VC influence & focused on fair launch
Opportunities for partnerships with value-added investors
[00:45:00]Final Thoughts & Call to Action
Apex Fusion is looking for validators (SPOs), devs & early builders
Reputation system live—earn rewards by contributing to testnet
