Taylor Monahan is Product Lead at MetaMask, a crypto wallet and gateway to blockchain apps.

As an early crypto adopter, Taylor has watched almost every cycle of crypto come and go. About a year after the Ethereum presale, she learned there were real blockchain apps popping up on the Ethereum blockchain. And even in these early days, she recognized the industry’s need for something critical — better wallets.

During our discussion with Taylor, she explains how the industry's tooling and vibes have evolved during her career. She also runs us through wallet basics, seed phrase best practices, general crypto security, and leaves us with some hot takes on the future of web3.
