The eponymous elephant-themed DeFi platform allows users to trade and farm tokens, namely PolyGaj (GAJ) and StableGaj (SGAJ).

Perhaps what stands out most, however, is Naiks lesson on <i>How to find compound interest using python<\/i>, which he released on Sept. 3, 2020  the same month he joined a webinar on the basics of Bitcoin and blockchain.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p>I started digging deep into blockchain  Bitcoin and Ethereum  then I got to know about Solidity, and then I learned it in two or three months.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>To understand the weight of this statement, one must consider the value of Solidity. According to one industry <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptocurrencyjobs.co\/salaries\/solidity-developer\/\">job board<\/a>, the average base salary for a Solidity developer in Asia is $125,000 per year, with a low base salary of $100,000 and a high base salary of $150,000. An analysis of Payscale shows that the average software developer in India earns $6,700 annually, meaning that at 13, Naik has already equipped himself with a skill-set worth 1020 times the salary of a seasoned developer, or 5070 times the countrys per-capita gross domestic product ($2,100).<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Naik continued sharing his learning on YouTube, introducing Bitcoin to his viewers in a 12-minute October <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W2JJ3cFNYM8\">video<\/a> incorporating illustrative images of piggy banks, gold bars and circuit boards. From there, he pivoted the channels content to focus on blockchain  adding explainer videos about Yearn.finance, Chainlink, Tether and others in November and December.<\/p>\n<p>Things took a turn a few weeks later, in February 2021, when Naik expanded from mere introductory videos to instructionals on <i>How to deploy Smart Contract on Binance Smart Chain (BSC)<\/i>and <i>How to Write and Deploy BEP-20 Token on Binance Smart Chain<\/i>. Thats when, at the beginning of a video about creating an ERC-20 token, Naik made an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3-uwAikEZdo\">announcement<\/a> to his 10,500 subscribers:<\/p>\n<p>Ive started freelancing!

The PolyGaj platform, complete with its elephant NFTs and wordplay, can certainly be seen as a childs experimentation and play. That does not make it less legitimate, at least compared to any other cloned DeFi platform on BSC run by anonymous creators, but one is left to wonder whether a child is capable of truly understanding the nature of their money and the very real power it wields.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Crypto is leveling the global playing field.

When asked if he would share his private keys with his parents if told to do so, Naik did not quite seem to comprehend the questions importance.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to realize that as an industry, DeFi has embraced a laissez-faire test in production philosophy where projects are created in an experimental fashion and investors take risks at their own peril. In this sense, Naik fits right into the crowd, and had he chosen to create his platform anonymously, it would have blended in with the rest.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, a reason why so many DeFi projects are created anonymously  namely legal, reputational and safety risks  and Naik has now tied his reputation to a public, indelible crypto asset named after him. While this is of course a wonderful achievement, it would make me feel uneasy if I were his parent.<\/p>\n<p>Though Naik explains that he is under agreement not to disclose which tokens he created as part of his consulting work or how much he was paid, it is safe to assume that these contracts take the form of gentlemens agreements. This is because due to his age, Naik likely lacks legal capacity to sign enforceable contracts  and can therefore hold no liability.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of ability to sign contracts, according to Covalents Gandhi, means that he is unable to receive direct investments from some of the big names in the industry who are waiting for him to turn 18 so that they can transfer him money.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I cant debate &amp; investigate 13 year olds, guys.

Once accepted, ambassadors set goals  often to expand their own learning related to things such as data and dashboards, which are Covelants bread and butter.<\/p>\n<p>It is not entirely clear what Naiks ambassador goals entail, but it is fair to surmise that he is getting something in return for the indisputably brave act of doing this interview  clearly, bringing on a 13-year-old brings media attention.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generation_Z\"><\/span>Generation Z<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>According to Naik, one of the major problems in the blockchain space today is high gas costs. This is why his projects are built on top of the Polygon framework, a factor that allows him to deploy a token for as little as $0.01 as opposed to potentially hundreds of dollars on Ethereums layer one. He advocates the same in his YouTube tutorials  evidence that the rising generation of blockchain enthusiasts will look beyond Ethereums layer one to build the future.<\/p>\n<p>In my book <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptonumist.com\/\">Blockland<\/a><\/em>, I have argued that Bitcoin is a joint-venture between Millennials and Generation X, with Generation Zs oldest representatives still in high school during Bitcoins early years and largely unable to take part. Much younger and hip, Ethereum then formed as a Gen-Z stronghold in the industry, spearheaded by Zoomer-like Vitalik Buterin.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Naik, who is actually among the younger Gen-Zs  potentially even an early messenger of Generation Alpha  choose to build on Polygon, which is a layer-two solution for Ethereum, is fascinating. With high gas fees, the Ethereum ecosystem may need to increasingly rely on layer-two solutions as layer one proves unwieldy for todays young crypto-geeks to experiment with.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(function() {window.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {listeners: [],forms: {on: function(evt, cb) {window.mc4wp.listeners.push({event   : evt,callback: cb});}}}})();<!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.8.6 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mc4wp_heading\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_of_blockchain_every_Sunday\"><\/span>The best of blockchain, every Sunday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>  Subscribe for thoughtful explorations and leisurely reads from Magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy<\/div>\n<p><label>Leave this field empty if you&#8217;re human: <\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many of us will recall amazed parents who looked upon us, their children, in the early days of the internet and made remarks about how the new generations world was so much bigger, being able to communicate with friends across the world and the like.<\/p>\n<p>When we consider the reality that a 13-year-old can create and make public a decentralized finance solution and sell NFTs to a global audience, the capabilities of young people only 10 years ago seem old-timey and quaint in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>The teenagers who, in ages past, may have sold mixtapes or pirated <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> from their locker can now amass large investment portfolios on a blockchain  anonymously  and no one has the power to stop them.
