In a landmark achievement for the cryptocurrency media landscape, highly acclaimed Web3 podcast QuickSwap’s “The Aggregated” commemorated nearly two years uplifting and unifying the public profile of decentralized technologies with their 100th anniversary episode. The milestone event celebrated the show’s journey in addition to highlighting its impact both as an educational platform and as a source of entertainment for long-time crypto enthusiasts, industry powerhouses, industry professionals, and newcomers alike.
Since its inception, which originally was titled “All Roads Lead to Polygon”, “The Aggregated” has carved out a one-of-a-kind niche in the saturated world of crypto podcasts. Hosted by
leading Polygon DeFi suite QuickSwap, the show has consistently delivered cutting-edge insights, engaging debates, and jaw-dropping alpha to its ever-expanding audience. What started as a grassroots initiative focused on empowering the Polygon community has evolved into a comprehensive media platform that covers the entire spectrum of Web3 technologies and beyond. QuickSwap’s “The Aggregated” is often attended, listened to, and appreciated by the industry’s top CEOs, media outlets, developers, and KOLs, who often inform the team responsible for organizing and booking the podcast it is “the most fun I’ve had learning about and discussing Web3 all week.”
Co-producer and co-booking Darren of QuickSwap says about the behind-the-scenes activities of the show, “Navigating the wild rollercoaster of ‘The Aggregated’ X Spaces is like herding cats on caffeine—chaotic, unpredictable, and oddly addictive!”
A Platform for Open Debate and Discussion
One of the key factors contributing to the success of QuickSwap’s “The Aggregated” has been its commitment to fostering open and honest discussions. The podcast has become renowned
for tackling complex and often controversial topics that many other content creators shy away from. By providing a neutral, fun, and relaxed forum for debate, QuickSwap’s “The Aggregated” has offered its listeners a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the industry’s most pressing issues, while simultaneously providing a very entertaining platform for learning.
“The Aggregated” is unpolished and not overly produced; imperfection is what makes the show fun and different from others in Web3 and beyond. This honest and organic rawness is what makes it outstanding. I think of it like music before almost all of it became overly produced and commercialized nonsense. I think of our show formula as an OG drunken’ Black Sabbath with Johann Sebastion Bach, playing right alongside them. The chaos element is definitely there, and it goes incredibly well when paired with the highest standards of industry professionals and speakers.”

With its open, honest, and transparent approach to different topics, “The Aggregated” has attracted a diverse array of high-profile guest speakers, from famous blockchain pioneers to traditional finance experts, politicians, members of different Intelligence communities throughout the world, entertainers, artists, and musicians, which together create an informative melting pot where innovative ideas and perspectives are shared freely without censorship or limitations.
While Roc Zacharias hosts the show along with co-host Aztec, the duo often display an almost superhuman ability to bring together opposing figures and facilitate constructive dialogues which have set the show apart in an industry often plagued by tribalism and echo chambers. “We aim to treat everyone like a friend or potential friend on the show. Even when opinions are varied or different from ours, they still add and bring value,” Roc Zacharias.
Bridging the Gap with Education
Beyond its role as a massive platform for open debate and high-level discussion, “The Aggregated” has played a crucial role in educating and onboarding countless new community members to the crypto space. Recognizing the growing interest from traditional audiences, the
podcast has gone the extra mile to break down complex concepts and has made them accessible and understandable to both new and advanced users.
