In this episode of The Optimism Show, Kris Gligoroski talks with Wasabi, the founder of Kokonut Network, a DAO transforming real-world assets and agriculture through Web3. Unlike traditional RWA-backed crypto projects, Kokonut Network removes middlemen, empowers local farmers, and builds long-term, nature-backed value. Learn how coconut trees act as bear market-proof assets, why real-world agriculture could drive decentralized economies, and how non-technical founders can leverage blockchain tools to build powerful DAOs.
