  <description>&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Temujin Louie from Wanchain&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Temujin Louie, warns that while compromise is inevitable, the industry must not abandon its original cyberpunk values and should focus on solving fundamental problems rather than chasing unsustainable trends. He stresses moving beyond token bridges, avoiding proprietary infrastructure, and aiming for true innovation that delivers lasting, open solutions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wanchain is a blockchain interoperability project connecting nearly 40 chains, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions and decentralized applications. Its mission is to replace fragmented, proprietary systems with open, sustainable infrastructure that drives real adoption and innovation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;We spoke to &lt;a href="https://x.com/TemujinLouie" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Temujin Louie&lt;/a&gt;  about &lt;a href="https://x.com/wanchain_org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Wanchain&lt;/a&gt; and:&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fear of technology&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shift on power&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Undoubtedly there will have to be some compromise&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Solve fundamental problems first or cut ourselves out by the knees&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adoption and losing some of these values&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The original vision&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cyberpunk values&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;99% of the industry is not sustainable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The next innovative thing that's going to happen&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Move away from purely just token bridges&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Replacing core infrastructure with proprietary product is never a good idea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An actual win outcome in solving this problem&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Timestamps &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;00:00 – 07:50 : Intro &lt;br&gt;
07:50 -- 09:50 : Shift of power&lt;br&gt;
09:50 -- 11:45 : Social networks&lt;br&gt;

33:25 -- 40:50 : Blockchains bring in real revenue&lt;br&gt;
40:50 -- 46:15 : Bridges and failure point&lt;br&gt;
46:15 -- 52:04 : Cross-chain developer community and tribalism&lt;br&gt;
