## Description

Harsh Rajat, co-founder and CEO of Pushchain, discusses building decentralized applications (dApps) for the future, focusing on the challenges of cross-chain development, interoperability, and user experience in Web3. He recounts Push's journey from ETHGlobal 2020, highlighting the importance of hackathons, community support, and VC funding in their growth.

Harsh identifies key pain points: increased infrastructure management, codebase fragmentation, high audit costs, and user friction due to multiple wallets and bridging protocols. To address these, Pushchain introduces a universal shared state blockchain, enabling developers to deploy once and reach users across all chains with native experiences, simplified infra, and seamless interoperability. Pushchain leverages EVM tooling and a UI kit SDK for easy integration, abstracting away complexities for both users and developers. Harsh announces the Pushchain testnet launch at ETHGlobal Delhi 2025 and introduces the exclusive Auto Pass for hackathon participants.
