About this Episode

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Mayur Relekar from Arcana network

Mayur Relekar, entered crypto for the hype but stayed for its ideals, now advocating for pragmatic, business-driven approaches to Web3. He emphasizes that not everything needs to be fully decentralized and sees the future in users engaging with apps, not chains.

Arcana Network is a Web3 infrastructure startup focused on simplifying blockchain use through its Chain Abstraction Protocol, allowing users to manage and spend assets across multiple chains without bridges or gas fees. Its tools—like Arcana Auth, Gasless SDK, and Wallet—aim to make Web3 as seamless as Web2.
