  • The Wise Ones: Eps. 003 - Grizz | @grizzle_art, Creator of #TRENCHER Meme and PumpFun Partner Artist
    Dec 10 2025

    We present to you the third episode of The Wise Ones Podcast. Hosted by the @Wisemenmentors

    For this episode, we're sitting down with Grizz, the artist behind #TRENCHER who woke up with one SOL in her wallet and her art stolen then made a decision that changed creator economics forever.

    Grizz started as a crisis counselor, navigating people through their darkest moments before finding her way back to art through crypto. Today, she's one of only three artists with an official @pumpdotfun partnership, she's produced over 600 pieces of art with zero team, and Trencher has one of the highest liquidity ratios in the Solana ecosystem.

    But what most people don't know is the full story of how she got here.

    This isn't your typical crypto art interview. Grizz doesn't do many long-form conversations, and when she does, she doesn't usually tell the complete story. This time she did. In this hour-long sitdown, she reveals the chaos of waking up to thousands of messages, the impossible choice between guaranteed money and momentum, and how she worked with @pumpfun and @wirelyss

    to create the creator fee system every artist uses today.

    If you hold Trencher, create on @pumpfun, or want to understand what separates artists building lasting brands from short-term exits, this conversation is essential.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    - The 6 AM moment when Grizz discovered her art was stolen, tokenized, and going viral and why she chose the runner that gave her nothing over the tokens offering 70% supply.

    - How one conversation with the

    http://Pump.fun team alongside Wireless created the creator fee model that now powers every artist on the platform.

    - Her partnership with @pumpdotfun and @a1lon9 the relationship that helped pioneer a creator-centric approach for the entire platform.

    - The liquidity strategy that keeps Trencher stable when everything else crashes - and why it has ratios that rival coins over a year old.

    - What it's really like being the only woman with a token on a major exchange and the challenges nobody talks about.

    - How she executes weekly streams, animated series, and partnerships with @opensea, @bitget, @moonshot, and @ourbit completely solo.

    - Why she lifts up the entire Pumpfolio instead of protecting her own bags and why collaboration beats competition.

    - The vision for taking Trencher beyond crypto and building something that outlasts the cycle.

    - What she learned about trusting intuition when everyone's giving different advice/

    This is the unfiltered story of an artist who chose conviction over capital with one SOL to her name and built the system that changed the game for everyone who came after.

    No fluff. No PR spin. Just the real decisions, the real strategy, and the real vision.

    We hope you enjoy.

  • The Wise Ones: Eps. 002 - @WassieLawyer, Jupiter Exchange Lead and Co-Founder GVRN Ai
    Dec 4 2025

    We present to you the second episode of The Wise Ones Podcast.

    For this episode, we're sitting down with YK |

    @wassielawyer, who stepped away from his profession as a full-time web3 bankruptcy lawyer to help build @weremeow 's vision over at @JupiterExchange

    This isn't your typical crypto interview. @wassielawyer doesn't do the average PR spin. In this hour long sitdown, he breaks down exactly why Jupiter operates differently, what's really happening with @jup_studio, and where this billion-dollar protocol is headed next. If you trade on Jupiter, hold JUP, or want to understand what separates real builders from the noise, this is required viewing.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    - The moment Wassie knew Meow was different from every other founder in crypto
    - Why Jupiter's Studio strategy is designed to outlast @pumpdotfun's volume game
    - What's actually working on Studio and which projects prove the thesis
    - The truth about $JUP's token performance and what Jupiter is doing about it
    - How Jupiter plans to onboard billions without becoming "just another casino"
    - What @weremeow is really like behind closed doors and why the team debates everything
    - Why some coins with tiny market caps refuse to die while everything else goes to zero

    This is the most transparent look inside Jupiter you'll get. No fluff. No evasion. Just real answers about what's working, what's not, and why this team believes they're building the future of money.

    We hope you enjoy.

    Eps. 1 - Kisra Fistya, Founder of

    @zirodelta


    Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Wise Ones Podcast, where we sit down with the builders shaping the future of blockchain and DeFi before they become household names.

    For our first episode, we're joined by Kisra Fistya, the Indonesian founder behind ZiroDelta, a project that's democratizing access to institutional-level arbitrage strategies. Broadcasting from Bali, Kisra shares his journey from running a distressed assets business to discovering inefficiencies in the funding rate markets that major institutions had overlooked.

    In this conversation, we explore:"
    - How Kisra discovered the potential in funding rate arbitrage
    - The rapid scaling from solo founder to an 8-person team
    - ZiroDelta's partnerships with major exchanges and what that validation means
    - The

    http://Rain.fi collaboration creating new yield opportunities for users
    - His vision for making sophisticated trading strategies accessible globally
    - The mission to bring wealth-building tools to undeserved markets like Indonesia

    This episode offers rare insight into the mind of a founder who's building at the intersection of traditional finance and DeFi innovation, with a focus on genuine utility over speculation.

    Special thanks to @Zetetzone from the $in | @incoinsolana team for creating the stunning intro that launches The Wise Ones series. Her artistic vision perfectly captures what we're building here.
