John Wu, president of Ava Labs, sits down with Raoul Pal, co-founder and CEO of Real Vision, to discuss how Ava Labs is expanding its network, now partnering with the MLB to launch a new NFT series. With the fastest time-to-finality and with the most validators of any proof-of-stake coin, Ava Labs' token, Avalanche, has been gaining popularity. Wu says the company’s goal is to reduce financial friction—even at the micro scale—which is essential in our journey through the "Exponential Age". Removing middle-men and traditional inefficiencies has the potential to empower entrepreneurs to own a larger stake in their creations, a mission Wu and his team believe is vital to the future of crypto.
