In this issue of Base Builder Talk, our guest is Haole, the developer of the Farcaster protocol client Recaster. He has witnessed the rise and fall of Steemit, the first decentralized social platform, experienced the frenzy of DeFi Summer, and heard the prophecy of AI consuming everything. As an independent developer, he walks outside the mainstream, diligently building applications that he needs and believes in. This dedication stems not only from his pure love for technology but also from a philosophical speculation: should one accept data fed in a comfortable centralized "matrix" or choose the red pill leading to data sovereignty in the "real world"? In the current wave of AI dominance and the data fortresses built by Web2 giants, Haole's persistence stands out as particularly valuable.
As of March 2025, the interaction between traditional finance and the crypto industry has shown a cautious but steadily accelerating trend. Traditional finance is no longer just a bystander in the crypto space but has begun to cautiously explore some real-world advantage use cases (such as digital asset custody, on-chain lending, and tokenized bonds). The next few years will be a crucial period to determine whether TradFi and DeFi can deeply integrate into the global financial system.
