Episode Details

What if you could launch a full Solana application just by describing your idea in plain English? Amit Ishairzay and Bilal Shahid, co-founders of Poof (poof.new), are building exactly that — and it's already live.

From prediction markets to token escrows to DePIN apps for cleaning up dog poop (yes, really), builders are shipping on-chain products faster than ever. Here's how they're doing it.

In this episode:

• 🛠️ What Poof actually is — type your idea, get a deployed Solana app with smart contracts, indexing, frontend, and backend
• 🔐 The "Poof Policy" system — the AI-native schema that makes smart contract generation secure and auditable
• ⚡ Why Solana? — and how Poof is to Web3 what Firebase/Supabase is to Web2
• 🤖 AI + Crypto infrastructure — how the team uses Claude Code, Codex, and auto-routing between models to keep costs down
• 🧪 The wildest apps people have built — from pump.fun clones to hyper-personalized all-in-one trading terminals
• 👾 Agentic Poof — what happens when no human is in the loop and an agent is shipping apps autonomously
• 🔓 The open source debate — how AI is reshaping the risk calculus for open source projects
• 🧠 Mythos (Anthropic's unreleased model) — what a model too dangerous to release means for the future of software security
