Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
🎙️ Guest: Adam Kazas, CEO of Gero Wallet (@AdamFromGero)
đź•’ Duration: ~41 minutes
Crypto wallets have improved a lot, but plenty still feel built for power users. In this episode, Lindsey McConaghy chats with Adam Kazas, CEO of @GeroWallet, about building a wallet (and dashboard) that’s actually usable day to day, without giving up self-custody.
Adam shares his path from tech support → product → “building crypto at night,” plus Gero’s origin story: his team found a bug in the original wallet, shipped a fix, built trust with the team, then acquired the IP and rebuilt the product from the ground up.
They also dig into a big real-world headache: paying for Web2 life with Web3 funds - why Gero is focused on closing that gap with ADA cashback and the Cardano-powered crypto card.
In this episode:
- From side project to full-time founder
- How Gero evolved from collaboration to acquisition + rebuild
- What “non-custodial” should feel like for normal users
- ADA cashback + the Gero card
- Cardano Shield security checks, privacy, and compliance
- What’s next: accounting tools, Bitcoin DeFi, Midnight support
