Alisher | Status App Update

Corey Petty, Demetrick Ferguson, Jessie Santiago
About this episode

In this episode of Hashing It Out, the crew invites Alisher from Status App onto the show to discuss the long path from ICO to v2 of the App.


New design, infrastructure, architecture, and brand-new sensibilities are driving the Status App toward a truly peer-to-peer communications application for all of Crypto and Web3.


Alisher, a premier designer, spoke to some of why Status has specifically chosen a design framework to appeal to Web3 and build unique and sovereign communities.
