About the host
Merak is hosted by Kris Kocic (cap.eth) — builder, thinker, investor, grumpy optimist. Kris has spent years deep in Web3, building on ENS and exploring what digital identity, decentralized infrastructure, and new internet primitives actually mean for how we live and work.
Long conversations with founders, builders, investors, and people living interesting lives, going deep on tech, AI, web3, startups, money, and the harder questions about balance and what a good life looks like.
No surface-level takes. Just honest, unscripted conversations with people worth listening to.
Merak is a Turkish-derived term referring to a deep, intentional pleasure, bliss, or "soulful" enjoyment derived from life's simple, everyday moments.
