Today, I am speaking with José Betancourt, Founder and CEO of Virtual Labs, a cutting-edge platform focused on decentralizing data and improving user experiences in web3. José made the bold decision to drop out of Yale to pursue his entrepreneurial journey full-time, driven by a passion for creating real-world applications in the blockchain space.

During our conversation, José opens up about his path from Yale to becoming a founder, including the pivotal moments and decisions that shaped Virtual Labs. We discuss how he and his team continuously refined their ideas, leading to the development of several innovative products at Virtual Labs like the ZK State Channel and VDEX,  the first omnichain perpDEX with no slippage and sustainable Bitcoin Yield, combining the best of decentralized and centralized exchanges with sub-millisecond finality, full self-custody, and full chain abstraction.

José also shares his insights on the challenges of user experience in blockchain, his vision for the future of web3, his perspective and use of The Graph, and why he believes real-world applications will drive the next wave of adoption.
