In this insightful follow-up interview, Omar from AgriDex returns to share the company's impressive progress since their last appearance. Omar details how AgriDex is revolutionizing global agricultural trade by providing instant, low-cost settlement through blockchain technology on Solana.

The conversation covers AgriDex's successful token launch, their expansion initiatives across Africa, and their innovative approach to tokenizing agricultural trades rather than physical crops. Omar explains how they're addressing the $18 billion trade finance gap in African agriculture while building a platform that abstracts blockchain complexity for traditional businesses.

Thomas and Omar discuss the formation of the Solana RWA Council, regulatory developments in the US and UK (including AgriDex's presentation to UK Parliament), and the contrast between speculative market movements and building lasting real-world utility.

This episode offers a fascinating look at how blockchain technology is solving genuine problems in global agriculture, providing financial tools to underserved farmers, and creating sustainable financial instruments beyond the hype cycles of crypto.

Highlights:

How AgriDex reduces cross-border settlement fees from 3-6% to less than 0.5% with instant transactions

The company's expansion through Africa, including partnerships with agricultural ministries
