This conversation with Nikita Ovchinnik of the 1inch Network is a great listen for anyone who’s interested in how crypto projects approach business development.

Why? Because crypto biz dev is unlike that of other industries, in that multi-million dollar deals are often executed without a formal contract or completed between fully decentralized projects that don't even have a leader. But because projects come out with partnerships and announcements all the time, and it's often very difficult for ordinary users or community members to understand what's important to a project’s long-term success versus what's just for show. To that end, this episode is an expansive conversation that covers what’s truly important for business development in the crypto space – whether you’re interested in raising funds, teaming up for a new product launch, or expanding your project onto an entirely new chain.
