BCR Podcast #26: Garrett Kinsman on Why Nodle Wants to Onboard 1 Million Brazilian Users this Year

Boa noite pessoal!I had the chance to sit down with Nodle co-founder Garrett Kinsman at Blockchain Rio last month to discuss his smartphone powered network and why he sees Brazil as a key market. Nodle is a decentralized network powered by millions of smartphones built to power the Internet of Things. Nodle's "connect-to-earn" platform allows users to earn NODL tokens simply by downloading and running the Nodle app on a smartphone. It’s probably the most user-friendly crypto app I’ve ever used in my life so highly recommend checking it out. In this episode we discuss:* How Nodle, which is software-based, fundamentally differs from hardware-based services like Helium * The types of applications that can be created on top of a decentralized network of smartphone nodes* Why existing Web2 infrastructure isn’t cut out for building the types of Web3 applications that Kinsman and Nodle envision* Why Brazil is a critical market for Nodle and why the team is looking to onboard one million Brazilian users by this time next year* Why Nodle chose to build on a Polkadot parachain rather than Stellar, Ethereum or other alternativesLearn more about Nodle at www.nodle.com, follow @NodleNetwork and @NodleBR on Twitter, and download the Nodle Cash app in Google Play or the App StoreThanks for listening and have a great day,-AWS Get full access to Brazil Crypto Report at brazilcrypto.substack.com/subscribe
