Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Max Howell, the CEO of tea.xyz and creator of Homebrew. Brew was one of the largest open-source projects of all time, with tens of millions of users to this day.

Welcome to the 175th episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on November 21, 2023. A lot of the software that we love and enjoy was built on an open-source foundation. The problem is that the devs who did this have never been appropriately compensated for creating this public good. Max Howell is going to change this with his platform tea.xyz.

Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in next week when we speak to Bill Wolf, the CIO of Archblock.
