Onchain, Honestly! Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/onchain-honestly Onchain, Honestly is a conversation with the operators actually building crypto companies. Kaisa and Alenka sit down with founders and leaders to talk about what the pitch decks leave out: go-to-market, hiring, revenue, real traction, and the unglamorous mechanics of turning a protocol or product into a business. No hype, no theater. Just honest conversations about what works, what doesn't, and what it actually takes to build onchain. © 2026 Alea Research Group e70923d2-4c8d-5443-b56d-325e6debadf1 yes en Tue, 05 May 2026 12:35:50 -0700 Tue, 05 May 2026 12:36:07 -0700 https://alearesearch.io https://img.transistorcdn.com/9xJr5054k766GpoGkXdB3of9l8bKnKLBTxXIbqi1dzw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kOWVj/ZThhMzlmMzY1ZTg0/OGZjY2EwMWQ1Yzg1/ZDU0My5wbmc.jpg Onchain, Honestly! https://alearesearch.io episodic Kaisa & Alenka Onchain, Honestly is a conversation with the operators actually building crypto companies.

Aishwary Gupta full f99d9fdd-70b8-4ef3-be1e-61e3047d695c https://share.transistor.fm/s/90310cfa In this episode, Aishwarya Gupta, the Global Head of Business at Polygon Labs, gives a deep dive into how Polygon Labs is building a sustainable enterprise business.

We cover Polygon’s full-stack strategy across wallets, stablecoins, interoperability, compliance, enterprise APIs, and ZK infrastructure, and why the next generation of blockchain ecosystems will be judged by real customers, recurring revenue, and scalable infrastructure.
We also look into why blockchain foundations can no longer rely only on grants, token-based income, or free infrastructure, and how enterprise demand may reshape the business model for crypto networks.
