Layer Zero is best described as a 'special operations' team of the decentralized wireless space. The company is lead by Denis Agarkov and Ion Beroiz, based out of Los Angeles California. Denis and Ion were early comers to DeWi and are know for their high quality infrastructure deployments for Helium and Pollen Mobile networks and spicy takes on the DeWi space.

In this episode, Denis and Ion walk us through their founding story starting in the film industry and eventually scaling DeWi networks. We cover major DeWi projects including Helium 5G, Pollen Mobile, and XNET and explore emerging projects within the broader field of token incentivized physical infrastructure networks (TIPIN). Example projects include DIMO's car and driving data network, Hivemapper's decentralized google maps, and Spexi's drone network.

This episode is a must listen for anyone interested in nerding out and going down the DeWi / TIPIN rabbithole with two pros deeply entrenched in the space.
