Wallets & Crypto Adoption with Nestcoin's Yele Bademosi & WalletConnect's Will White

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Yele Bademosi, the Co-founder and CEO of Nestcoin, and Will White, the COO of WalletConnect, to talk about a critical piece of crypto infrastructure: Wallets.
When talking about wallets here, we’re talking about non-custodial wallets - where users have full access and control over their private keys, unlike a custodial wallet which relies on and trusts third parties. 
In the context of web3, we’re excited by the opportunities enabled by connecting a wallet and a user’s tokens or transaction history to a decentralized application. At the same time, we hear a lot about user experience challenges in the crypto ecosystem and wallets, of course, are central to that conversation. 
So to talk more about wallets in today’s episode, we’re joined by Yele Bademosi, the Co-founder and CEO of Nestcoin, and Will White, the COO of WalletConnect. crypto@scale is sponsored by Ripple.Across Africa, Ripple is partnering with local financial institutions and fintechs to bring the benefits of better cross-border remittances to the region.
