"Behind the Startup" is a series that dives into the lives of the entrepreneurs and visionaries shaping the future of the technology industry. In this episode, we have Richard Zhang, an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California and the President of Blockchain@USC. : Vested Interest Disclosure The author is an independent contributor publishing via our . Be it through direct compensation, media partnerships, or networking, the author has a vested interest in the company/ies mentioned in this story. HackerNoon has reviewed the report for quality, but the claims herein belong to the author. #DYOR. brand-as-author program Behind the Startup: A Conversation with Richard Zhang, President of Blockchain@USC Ishan Pandey: Hi Richard Zhang, welcome to our series “Behind the Startup.” Please tell us about yourself and why you're interested in Blockchain Technology. Richard Zhang: Hi Ishan, I’m currently an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California. I first came across blockchain, Bitcoin to start, around 2016 when I was in high school through some books and articles. I was intrigued by the technology’s ability to provide more access and equal opportunities around the world by allowing more people to enter a global economy with fewer barriers. Over time, I studied the power and potential of smart contracts and different applications built on top of blockchain technology. Blockchain’s ability to empower equality and opportunity for all still drives me as I follow and try to contribute to the industry today. During my undergraduate career, I worked at Dragonfly, a crypto-native fund, as an intern on the investment team, evaluating and connecting with exciting blockchain startups, with an emphasis on crypto access in emerging markets, payment infrastructure, decentralized ownership, and gaming. At USC, I’m the President of Blockchain@USC, the leading university blockchain organization in Southern California. Ishan Pandey: What is the main idea behind the Blockchain Club at the University of Southern California, Blockchain@USC? Richard Zhang: Blockchain@USC is a non-profit student organization focused on empowering both crypto-native and crypto-curious people in and beyond the university. Founded in 2018, we host speaker events, publish research articles, teach our own blockchain curriculum, participate in on-chain governance, partner with other organizations and companies, create hiring pipelines, maintain professional network databases, and more. Some previous events that we have hosted include the VanEck Southern California Blockchain Conference; individual speaker and community events with Spencer Noon at Variant Fund, Jesse Powell at Kraken, staff at Chainlink, Dragonfly, Ava Labs, Shima Capital, and more; and bi-weekly whitepaper circles. Ishan Pandey: Tell us about VanEck Southern California Blockchain Conference and how it is going to help the Web3 industry. Richard Zhang: The VanEck Southern California Blockchain Conference — or “SCBC” for short — was one of the largest student-run blockchain conferences in the country. The conference happened on November 10th and 11th 2022 and featured keynotes and panels featuring some leading contributors to the industry. Guest speakers included Cathie Wood at Ark Invest, Sam Kazemian at Frax Finance, David Marcus at Lightspark, Jeffrey Amico at a16z Crypto, Zack Skelly at Dragonfly, Andrew Wilson at Makers Fund, and more. The conference was entirely in person, and there were more than 1500 attendees in the audience. We also invited other university organizations whom we hold great relations with, like Blockchain at Berkeley, Blockchain at UCLA, Stanford Blockchain Club, Cornell Blockchain, and Claremont Blockchain Club. Cornell Blockchain flew some members all the way to Los Angeles from Ithaca, while Blockchain at Berkeley sent more than 20 members from the Bay Area. During the conference, we tried to cover a broad range of topics, from the ecosystem of multichain development to decentralized finance, early-stage investing, university blockchain communities, and more. We aim to make this conference an annual event, and the inaugural conference was a great start. In fact, many students have told me that they decided to enroll in the innovative  “Blockchain” minor at USC after attending SCBC, a great sign of Blockchain@USC’s impact. Ishan Pandey: Due to the FTX, Celsius, and Voyage debacle, the value of cryptocurrencies has dropped by a massive amount. What needs to be done to rebuild people's trust and give a boost to web3 technology? Richard Zhang: It’s very unfortunate to see many people at the harm of malpractice, carelessness, and malefaction. My heart goes out to all victims affected by this chain of events. I think these happenings have once again proven the importance of decentralization and trustless infrastructure and protocols. Many breakages occur at the point of trust in one or a few self-governed parties under little supervision. In order for people to rebuild trust, the industry needs to focus on improving and implementing actual decentralized blockchain technologies. Open-source code is reviewable, but oftentimes people’s actions are not. I do hope and try to remind people to not lose faith in decentralized decision-making and action execution. This is not to say that the world of decentralization is perfect today, either. There are still ample hacks and points of vulnerability that need to be fixed, but I’m more optimistic on this front because there are existing and potential check-and-balance systems at play. Builders should build for the love and benefit of the technology, and not merely for quick monetary gains with little regard for risk management. Ishan Pandey: Governments around the world are obviously worried that cryptocurrencies will have a widespread impact on the economy and will be misused for unlawful activities. According to you, should DeFi be subject to the law of the land? Richard Zhang: DeFi has some inherent advantages that trump traditional finance, like inherent transparency and accessibility. It’s quite obvious that TradFi has failed certain countries and marginalized groups. As I mentioned earlier, I became interested in blockchain technology because of its ability to better access and equality, and I do vouch for governments to give room for these benefits to remain and grow. However, this is not to say that builders and users should disregard or disdain regulations. After all, some countries do introduce regulations with protecting people as the primary goal. I think it’s especially important to accept regulations that govern centralized touchpoints in the industry, such as on-and-off ramps, centralized market makers, and custodians. Ishan Pandey: What new trends will the blockchain industry witness in the near future? Richard Zhiang: It’s obviously impossible to predict with perfect precision what’s going to happen, especially in such a fast-moving and unpredictable industry, but I can provide some thoughts on what might happen. Due to recent debacles, crypto users and regulators will require or demand proof of reserves from various types of entities. This will hopefully move us closer to the responsible handling of user deposits and funds. On the infrastructure side, we will see rollups, particularly zero-knowledge-based, gain more traction and launch more aggressively. Diving deeper into L1/L2s, I hold an opinion that not everyone shares: there’s still room for new infrastructure to enter. We have seen the introduction of MOVE-based chains, but there are still plenty of experiments left unexplored. For instance, people have been intrigued by the idea of “app chains”, and Cosmos currently seems to be a popular destination. But is there room for another chain more specialized for app chain deployment? Perhaps, or at least I’m not counting this possibility out yet. There are more experiments and theses in the infrastructure space like this one, and I’m going to keep an open mind. I’m also excited to see new mechanisms for digital ownership beyond the current profile picture and digital art models. Now that more people have gotten a taste of on-chain ownership, we may be ready to take on more diverse assets. I’m not sure which exact assets will be next, but most likely it will be ones that incur fewer legal hurdles, so we may still wait a bit before something like decentralized real estate ownership gains significant traction and acceptance. I’ll certainly continue tracking the industry closely and fine-tuning my visions and these as we go along. If anyone has differing thoughts or wants to discuss more, I’m always happy to exchange ideas. Don’t forget to like and share the idea!

Travala.com is the world’s leading cryptocurrency-friendly hotel booking services with the best prices on 2 million+ properties worldwide. 1. Hi Matt, welcome to our series “Behind the Startup”. Tell us about your story and your journey into the blockchain industry? Hi everyone, this is Matt Luczynski, the Founder of Travala.com, the leading cryptocurrency-friendly hotel and accommodation booking service. I have been active in the space since 2011, where I have spent the last three years building the foundations to bridge the gap between traditional booking platforms by incorporating next-generation decentralized booking experiences. Before Travala, I spent my late teenage years trading bitcoin while completing university studies. 2.  Tell us about the story behind Travala – How did you start the company and what is your vision? Travala.com initially started as a concept with the idea to make and allow cryptocurrencies to be used and spent in an e-commerce environment. We aim to provide service that is quick, easy to use and does not require many steps. The focus around the travel industry came from the passion of the founders for traveling and cryptocurrency. My vision at Travala is to enable the general usage of cryptocurrencies by the masses and to enable the mass adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency. 3. According to you what is the best thing about building a company in Vietnam? Vietnam is a great place to build a team. I enjoy the culture and the environment for business and IT development. As an emerging market, Vietnam has a lot to offer, from competitive pricing to highly skilled workers. Over the past three years, our team has grown significantly, is highly qualified and can adapt to any situation at any given time, which has been critical to our growth. 4. What incentives and perks do users get when they register and book through Travala? We have introduced Smart members program on the Travala.com platform with exciting benefits of discounts, loyalty, and staking rewards for users. Accommodations marked with the smart icon enable participants to receive the added smart program benefits on their bookings. For those not familiar with our Smart Program, it is based on a tiered rewards system. The higher the Smart level the greater your rewards will be. For example, in the highest reward bracket Smart Level 5 (5000 AVA), users receive a 5% discount on Smart listed hotel and accommodation prices, a 5% loyalty reward following completion of your stay, and also Smart bonus rewards of 1.5% per month of your locked amount of AVA. This gives our Smart members up to 10% Savings on Hotel and Accommodation Bookings and up to 18% Per Annum Bonuses on your AVA with our Smart Bonus Rewards. The program also gives every single user who books a minimum of 2% giveback, allowing them to build up towards a Smart level. 5. Can you enlighten our readers about Travala's business model and recent performance figures? Sure, our February monthly report highlighted that growth continued with 2,300+ Room nights and Booking revenue Up +55% MoM with 57% of Bookings Paid with Cryptocurrencies. Overall booking revenue for February was $367,283, which is an increase of 55.1% compared to January. The total number of room nights booked was 2,364, which is an increase of 34.7% compared to January. The top 3 countries booked were: 1. The United States 2. Thailand 3. The United Kingdom. 6. What is your advice to companies and entrepreneurs facing the Covid-19 pandemic? Further, how does the company adapt to a lean-startup culture? Set out strategic plans of all scenarios, make sure that each outcome is gone over and make a decision on how things should move forward if specific situations begin to play out. It is essential for all businesses at this stage to stay alert and make sure their employees and consumers are always safe. Going lean is very important considering the current situation, we have addressed any potential concerns regarding the company’s operations. Firstly, we believe that a proactive response is the best measure to ensure that the team is safe and prepared in the event of a worsening situation. This is a priority to ensure that service offerings and communication channels continue to operate in the same manner. Travala.com is already a globally distributed team with members located around the world already working remotely. The Hanoi office, which houses most of our operations team, is taking all the necessary precautions to avoid any disruptions due to COVID-19 COVID-19. Secondly, we have several contingency plans in place to allow us to conduct business as usual for the long-term, even in a worst-case scenario. Following our recent major investor backing and the successful equity crowdfund, Travala.com is in a very healthy position. Also, due to our cost advantages with the majority of our team based in Vietnam and an already very lean start-up structure, even without any bookings at all, we will be able to ride out a major downturn for up to 18 months without having to seek any additional capital. 7. Can you explain the Travala cryptocurrency ecosystem to our readers and what the company is doing to expand the ecosystem? Travala.com has an ethos to accelerate the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. We have partnered with the biggest names in crypto and travel, to bring the best user experience to booking hotels and provide the most accessibility, right at our user's fingertips. We continue to innovate within our product development and push forward with our vision. This also includes our native digital asset AVA (AVA Token) which forges the foundations of the Smart member's program and token incentivization mechanisms. Before we started Travala.com, our vision was to create a system that fosters the growth of digital assets and enables on-ramp and off-ramp usage of cryptocurrencies and we are implementing those idea’s here at Travala. 8. What are your views on cryptocurrency regulations around the world, especially regarding anti-money laundering and KYC policies and how is the company complying with these guidelines? Travala complies with all laws of each jurisdiction we operate in; this is highly important for the company and is critical towards showcasing the importance and longevity of our business operations. I believe that regulation is a must, and as the industry evolves, I expect more regulations to be introduced for businesses operating in the blockchain industry. 9.  According to you, what makes your team at Travala different and who are your major competitors? Our ability to execute and innovate around our product with our go-to-market strategy is second to none. Our team's ethos has been built around the theory of growth hacking, reducing spends and increasing user interaction on the site. I believe we do this well and have led the way for the business. I see this has made a significant impact on how other companies within the blockchain space now operate. 10. Can you enlighten readers about the companies' ongoing business partnerships? Further, how has the overall response and experience been for the team and where do you see the company in the next 2 years? From to , we have partnered with the biggest names in both the cryptocurrency and travel space. We are well funded, having completed multiple capitals raises over the past 12 months from crowdfunds to blockchain fund investments. Over the next two years, we will continue to provide value and cost-effective services to our users traveling across the world, further, we will continue to push for the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. We will also begin to add more products to our offerings ranging from flights to other different experiences. Bitcoin.com Booking.com 11. Travala.com has named former Booking.com exec Mr. Juan Otero as its new CEO, what shall be the focus of Juan in his first quarter as the CEO? Further, what are the benefits for the Booking.com in this partnership? As Q1 comes to a close, Juan’s role will involve making sure all is in place ready to commence Q2. We have many plans and ideas in place, and the CEO will be directing those on a day to day basis along with the other founders while setting out the goals of Travala.com for the next 12 months and beyond. In signing a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the giant online travel agency Booking.com, it has given Travala.com access to over 2 million accommodation listings globally has heralded a new approach to bringing cryptocurrency adoption to the masses.

The Future of Travelling: An Interview with Matt Luczynski, the Founder of Travala.com

Short intro To be honest, there are already tons of tweening engines in Javascript ecosystem, there are great (popular) ones, such as and . Tween.js GSAP There are PROS and CONS for both as I’ve loved simplicity & accessibility of Tween.js and performance/smooth of GSAP. However, web is moving forward and libraries need to be upgraded to meet todays conditions. A month ago I decided to try my skills in writing own tweening engine and here’s how I did it… Preparing & setup Every modern library needs to be surrounded with great tools from Javascript ecosystem, such as linting, unit testing, tests coverage. Ideally, I would either include benchmarks and more visual examples, but I’d say they are rather uncomplete at the moment of writing this article. Here is a list of great tools I’ve used for project maintenance: — 🚀 Futuristic JavaScript test runner Ava.js — Tests coverage analysis tool Istanbul.js — JavaScript happiness style linter XO Every single line of open source repository should be linted & tested to follow certain rules and result into a great piece of software for further usage by millions. That’s why I love to introduce these tools that will help you automate & secure your development workflow. For running tests / coverage remotely we use Travis CI, which is widely used among the open source community. Here’s how it looks like: https://travis-ci.org/sasha240100/between.js Conception & API The most important part and the most interesting the same time is API development. Start with doing a research, look at existing implementations of similar open source software and make sure that you really need to create something new 🤔 rather than using great and well-trusted tools. In my case I just wanted a proper Tween.js replacement written in ES6 with middleware support. That is what pushed me to write a Between.js . Standard Between.js API Everything is that simple. Yes, it looks similar to Tween.js/GSAP just because this piping pattern is great. And there is nothing bad with it. So what was wrong_(not so good)_ with Tween.js? For me (personally) I would highlight the necessity of using objects. The only structure you could interpolate/tween was an object. In we decided to tween literally . This way you can interpolate an object, array, number or even a string (with a help of plugins). Yes, you can tween from to for example. between.js everything rgb(255, 0, 0) rgba(65, 255, 134, 0.5) P.s.: …and even to hex value, such as which is a “Cyan 4” color according to #008B8B color-hex.com. The magic above can be done with a help of plugin for . We’ll cover this topic again closer to the end of the article. dom-color.js between.js Easing On some point of developing we thought that it would be great to make a powerful tweening API, that is simple in usage. Below is a basic easing code sample: between.js Basic easing usage example Easing in action We used a package and expose its functions through the object. So if you mind to expand the easing collection, please contribute to that package and we’ll update its version in the dependencies to include more varieties of easings. At the moment we support 31 easing mode: easing-functions Between.Easing Easing — functions modes Depending on your skills and experience easing API can be a powerful instrument you can try in your future projects, just for example an object transforms transition: Easing animation transition example. A few days ago a github contributor added an another feature — “pausing tweens” , , methods. These can be used for dynamic interaction with tweens and expands possibilities in usage by video games and creative websites. Below is a simple example of how it can be used: pause() play() isPaused() between.js Pausing/resuming a tween Color plugin When Between.js was almost ready we decided to develop an additional color plugin, that provides a comfortable color change way. Color types that are supported by plugin: RGB or RGBA HEX HSL Keywords (red, green…) Node/Webpack color plugin usage example Color plugin in action What’s inside of a Color plugin? We used the following dependencies: — A nice library that was used for color conversion inside of function color initialize() JavaScript library for immutable color conversion and manipulation with support for CSS color strings. 2. — We used it to check if a string is a color keyword. Either is a dependency of a library above. color-string library for parsing and generating CSS color strings. _Parser and generator for CSS color strings_www.npmjs.com color-string 3. — A neat linear interpolation function, written by . lerp Matt DesLauriers _bare-bones linear interpolation function_www.npmjs.com lerp Implementation uses Plugins API and includes the following functions inside of a plugin object: Testing if the should be covered by the color plugin or not startValue Initializing the and . And it does an immediate conversion from color strings to arrays of format that can be interpolated easily. startValue destValue [r, g, b] Color arrays interpolation. This step is executed inside of function of a tween object. The output is converted back to string and is stored in . update() this.value Integration So let’s consider we are all users and interested in plugin and we want to include it the usual way — with harmony modules. It’s a little bit more tricky than in browser, but turns out it is just as simple as it can be. The only thing we have to do is to import a ColorPlugin (as default) and assign it to internal object. The property name doesn’t matter, but I advise you to keep its name related to avoid further confusions. webpack dom-color Between._plugins Color & easing integration Color & easing integration in action More about integration can be found in on GitHub. documentation To sum up… …it was an interesting experience for us to create something new, redesign old but gold patterns to follow modern ES6 trends and expand functionality with plugin support integration. We really want you to try in action and join our community to support open source software development, so please and propose your ideas. We are open to bring some more plugins into live soon! between.js open a new issue Big thanks to for a collaboration, he helped me to prepare this article and developed some cool visual demos for easing.
