Interviews

Superform

In an interview with the BlockHash Podcast at ETHDenver in April 2026, Richardson discussed his path from working in the U.S. Senate and defense sector to founding early crypto projects, joining BlockTower Capital, and co-founding Superform in 2022. He explained that Superform had evolved from a DeFi yield marketplace into a non-custodial crypto neobank intended to let users earn, save, trade, and eventually spend on-chain assets through a mobile application. At the time of the interview, the platform offered vaults and tools for accessing yield across multiple EVM chains, with planned additions including more on-ramps, third-party vault curators, swaps, a credit card, Android support, and expansion into additional countries. Richardson described ETHDenver as reflecting a greater focus on sustainable businesses, real users, and privacy, and characterized market conditions as a bear market for tokens that differed from Bitcoin's institutional narrative and the improving fundamentals of crypto businesses. He also emphasized that broader DeFi adoption would require stronger safety measures, including insurance and protections against user losses. ^[10]
