Emily and Alvin Hsia - Shadow, and Building the Next Generation of Onchain Data

In this episode, we chat with Emily and Alvin Hsia, co-founders of Shadow. We begin with their journey working on DeFi, MEV, an early idea to unify on-chain data, and their journey to building Shadow. They walk us through the challenges with events, their solution for developers, users, and data consumers, and other details on the product such as pricing.

We dig into the impact of shadow forks, ideas for broader adoption, and their goal for standardizing shadow events with ERC 7571. We also get a glimpse of what it’s like building a company as siblings, and where Shadow goes from here.
