In this episode Szi and Chris try to explain what Olympus DAO does and what it's trying to accomplish with its decentralized reserve currency. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery and if thats the case then OHM is definitely blushing right now with dozens of code bases being forked off their original to create a slew of new DAOs on different chains. Some of these such as Wonderland on the AVAX chain offering 80,000%+ APY and its not even amongst the highest. DeFi 2.0 is going crazy!

In this episode, Chris and Szi delve into ZK-Rollups. ZK stands for Zero Knowledge, which are a form of cryptographic proofs that have been around since the 80s and allow the parties to prove statements are true without conveying any information apart from the veracity of the statements. ZK-Rollups is a form of Zero Knowledge Proofs that allow for the scaling on the layer 2 of the blockchain. ZKRollups does this by aggregating on chain transactions, taking it off chain, and working its magic. Why do this? The benefits of layer 2 is faster transactions, larger network throughput, and cheaper gas fees while allowing us to leverage the security of the Ethereum network. There are some unique features of the ZKRollups that separate it from other layer 2 scaling solutions and we discuss why this could be the solution Ethereum needs to establish its dominance in the battle of the blockchains once again.

In this episode Chris and Szi talk about the recent inquiry into stablecoins by the US Senator Sherrod Brown - In his own words "I have significant concerns with the non-standardized terms applicable to redemption of particular stablecoins, how those terms differ from traditional assets, and how those terms may not be consistent across digital asset trading platforms,” Brown wrote in his letter to Circle, the payment services company that operates stablecoin USD coin (USDC)." We speak about what this might mean for the future of crypto, regulation, and stablecoins. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/block-party/support

In this episode Chris and Szi discuss what a blockchain is, why it's important, why we should care, and some of the blockchain solutions currently competing for dominance in the world of the decentralized internet. Most people have heard of Ethereum and for good reason - Ethereum commands roughly a 500B marketcap and is considered as the pre-eminent layer-1 blockchain protocol. But for how long? This year alone saw the rise of faster and more efficient blockchains with robust ecosystems of DApps and NFTS. Solana and Avalanche are just two competing layer-1s that have amassed a huge user base and have grown their respective marketcaps by thousands of percentage points in one year. These new protocols rival Ethereum in network throughput, ease of use, and network cost by a large margin. The future of blockchains definitely promises to be an interesting one and is definitely heating up with many layer 1s and layer 2 solutions looking to assert themselves in the crypto-sphere, Ethereum might just have to watch the throne!

In this episode, Szi and Chris cover Ultra a crypto blockchain platform targeting the PC Gaming Distribution Market. With an over 32 Billion dollar addressable market - Ultra has a huge potential to uproot the existing status quo set by long time incumbent Steam which currently accrues over 30% in fees from developers that wish to release games on its platform. With most gamers using steam as their choice for digital game downloads, developers have been hard pressed to find other digital distribution options with a market as large as Steam. Ultra seeks to address this issue by delivering much lower fees and creating a system of rewards for its developers and gamers alike. Ultra is definitely a project in the gaming crypto space. @ItsMeChrisWong @sziTrapamoto --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/block-party/support

In this episode - Chris and Szi expound upon the Decentralized Autonomous Organization or DAO for short. DAOs are organizations represented by code and enacted by smart contracts that are transparently displayed on the blockchain and then voted upon by the organizations' members without the influence of a hierarchical structure present in most current organizations. DAOs have been around since 2016 but had a rocky start, however, today with an ever increasing need for transparency and stability DAOs are making a strong comeback with some popular projects such as OlympusDAO using it as a community-owned decentralized financial infrastructure. We speak on the pros and cons of DAOs, the human element, how they can accomplish their goals, and which organizations are ripe for disruption by a DAO. We hope you enjoy this episode!
