On this special Tuesday edition of the PoolTogether Community Podcast, Stader Labs joins us to talk about Multi-chain Liquid Staking. I gotta be honest, this is next level Defi for your boy Hot Mike, so there's a lot of explanation as to what you can do with Stader Labs on platforms like Balancer and Beefy Finance. In short, you can stake Matic with Stader Labs which helps secure the Polygon Network (and you earn rewards for doing so), and then you can do more Defi with it! You can take your staking token pair it with USDC or Matic and provide liquidity on Balancer, Quickswap, Beefy, or Meshwap for more yield. And Stader Labs doesn't want to stop there. How can Stader Labs and PoolTogether partner together in liquid staking? And how can we unlock the potential of all of these idle tokens? We don't know! But we dream dreams on this podcast. If you have any ideas please let me know. Next up: Lonely Alien Space ClubYou can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Two policy experts, Chris Lehane, chief strategy officer at Haun Ventures, and Niki Christoff, the founder of Christoff and Co., discuss how the crypto industry has performed in Washington and how it can better educate more regulators and politicians about the technology.

Two policy experts, Chris Lehane, chief strategy officer at Haun Ventures, and Niki Christoff, the founder of Christoff and Co., discuss how the crypto industry has performed in Washington and how it can better educate more regulators and politicians about the technology. Show highlights: Niki and Chris' background how Niki and Chris would grade the performance of crypto companies in Washington what parallels Chris can draw between crypto in the 2020s and FAANG in the mid-90s whether having a plethora of crypto policy groups helps or hurts crypto in Washington whether calling politicians and regulators names and making memes of them helps or hurts the crypto industry an effective way crypto companies can prompt lawmakers and regulators to prioritize crypto policy why it can be strategically smarter to try to convince incumbents to adopt pro-crypto policy over supporting challengers why Chris thinks crypto could be a bipartisan topic what Chris and Niki think about the fact that Democratic candidates received more donations from people working in the crypto industry than Republicans did the three types of crypto users that are valuable to political candidates what Niki and Chris would tell Senator Elizabeth Warren about crypto if they were to meet with her today what effect crypto might have on midterms why the terminology native to crypto may have to change Unchained is hiring!

Do Kwon is the CEO of Terraform Labs and a director at Luna Foundation Guard. On Unchained, he explains why LFG is spearheading a plan to partially back Terra's $15 billion stablecoin UST with Bitcoin.

Part 1: Everything you need to know about Terra, UST, and BTC. how Terra works and why Do thinks UST will soon be the third-largest stablecoin why Do and LFG decided to back UST with bitcoin why Do thinks LUNA's price will continue to appreciate despite UST's new dependence on bitcoin how UST might perform if the price of a bitcoin were to crash why diversifying UST with different types of collateral could help Terra politically how LFG plans to use bridges, smart contracts, and an AMM reserve pool to secure its bitcoin why Do thinks Terra is now a Layer 2 project for Bitcoin who is deciding to purchase bitcoin and who determines what other assets to purchase as collateral for UST how a bitcoin reserve pool would help UST not de-peg from the dollar whether Do thinks Anchor's 19%+ yield is sustainable and why Anchor is moving to other chains Part 2: Do, the self-described “toymaker” of DeFi. why Do is fascinated with creating a fungible labor market how developer working hours could become a token traded on an AMM and used to take out loans why Do thinks developer salaries in crypto should be cyclical how on-chain identity and history will be similar to credit scores why Do is a personal fan of Thorchain – but is reticent to use it as a bridge for LFG why Do is interested in Prism Protocol what Do thinks the impact of a pro-crypto president will have on South Korea Book events Keep up on all the latest events here! https://www.laurashin.com/book/#tour-dates Thank you to our sponsors!

While researching for The Cryptopians, I discovered that Andrey Ternovskiy, the founder of internet sensation Chatroulette, was heavily involved in The DAO back in 2016. In this episode, we skirt around revealing major spoilers from The Cryptopians and discuss Andrey's experience founding Chatroulette, how he fell down the crypto rabbit hole, whether hacking smart contracts is ethical, and more. Show topics: Andrey's background how Andrey's struggles with PayPal at Chatroulette led him to quickly understand the need for crypto what Andrey's involvement at Chatroulette is the different ways Andrey thinks crypto can disrupt middlemen why Andrey became infatuated with the narrative behind the “crypto” movement why Andrey became a fan of Ethereum why Andrey decided to tell me about his previously undisclosed involvement in The DAO and early Ethereum whether hacking smart contracts is ethical (or legal) what Andrey thinks about how Ukraine has used crypto in its fight against Russia's invasion why Andrey will most likely not decentralize Chatroulette what Andrey's perspective is on decentralization in terms of DeFi and DAOs Upcoming Book Events For folks in the Bay Area: On Tuesday March 8, I'll be doing a reading and signing at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club, moderated by The Information's Kate Clark. Doors open at 5:15 p.m. , the program begins at 6 p.m., and the book signing is at 7 p.m. https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-03-08/laura-shin-inside-first-cryptocurrency-craze For people in Seattle: I'll be doing a reading and signing as part of town Hall Seattle on Wednesday March 9, at 7:30pm at The Forum, moderated by Steve Scher, of Town Hall Seattle. https://townhallseattle.org/event/laura-shin/ And, I may also be at SXSW on March 12 — details still TBD, and I may also be in Boston at Harvard the weekend of March 26. No promises on either score, but I guess if you feel strongly about either one, you can tweet at me, as that might tip the scales. On April 5th, I'll be in Miami doing a reading, and on April 9th, I'll be in Annapolis at the Annapolis Book Festival. Finally, on March 23rd, I'll be doing a virtual reading with Powell's bookstore at 8pm Eastern Time/5pm Pacific Time, and Jeff Roberts, executive editor of Decrypt and author of Kings of Crypto will be moderating.

During my research for The Cryptopians, I found information that I believe identifies the perpetrator behind The DAO hack on Ethereum. Three founding members of The DAO and Slock.it (Christoph Jentzsch, Lefteris Karapetsas, Griff Green) discuss how and why they created The DAO, how they helped save the funds being siphoned off by black hat hackers, their personal feelings about The DAO, along with their reaction to the news about who I believe was The DAO attacker. Show topics: Part 1: Background on The DAO Christoph, Lefteris, and Griff's background and how they came to Slock.it what Slock.it was and why the Slock.it team decided to create The DAO what The DAO has to do with venture capital funding why the Slock.it team did not cap The DAO sale what made The DAO such a popular investment vehicle why The DAO developers were scared at the amount of money they raised Part 2: what Christoph, Lefteris, and Griff's initial reaction to The DAO was saving funds from The DAO via a hard fork versus white hat hacking whether they thought Ethereum Classic would survive a hard fork how the Ethereum community has treated Christoph, Griff, and Lefteris in the wake of The DAO attack Part 3: why they disagree on whether code is law their reaction to my naming Toby Hoenisch as The DAO attacker which actor would play them in a movie about The DAO attack Come to My In-Person Book Signings and Events!

During my research for The Cryptopians, I found information that I believe identifies the perpetrator behind The DAO hack on Ethereum. Three founding members of The DAO and Slock.it (Christoph Jentzsch, Lefteris Karapetsas, Griff Green) discuss how and why they created The DAO, how they helped save the funds being siphoned off by black hat hackers, their personal feelings about The DAO, along with their reaction to the news about who I believe was The DAO attacker. Show topics: Part 1: Background on The DAO Christoph, Lefteris, and Griff's background and how they came to Slock.it what Slock.it was and why the Slock.it team decided to create The DAO what The DAO has to do with venture capital funding why the Slock.it team did not cap The DAO sale what made The DAO such a popular investment vehicle why The DAO developers were scared at the amount of money they raised Part 2: what Christoph, Lefteris, and Griff's initial reaction to The DAO was saving funds from The DAO via a hard fork versus white hat hacking whether they thought Ethereum Classic would survive a hard fork how the Ethereum community has treated Christoph, Griff, and Lefteris in the wake of The DAO attack Part 3: why they disagree on whether code is law their reaction to my naming Toby Hoenisch as The DAO attacker which actor would play them in a movie about The DAO attack Come to My In-Person Book Signings and Events!

While researching for my book, The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze, I found evidence that I believe resolves the biggest whodunnit in crypto: who hacked The DAO? This podcast is coming out in conjunction with an article in Forbes revealing the prime suspect's identity. Part 1: Who Attacked the DAO? Here's the Evidence To document the process of finding the alleged attacker, I wrote an article for Forbes, with which I opened the podcast. In it, I reveal who, evidence indicates, attacked the DAO how my sources and I uncovered this person's identity how a previously undisclosed technical capability by Chainalysis helped my sources and I identify the alleged hacker Part 2: Contextualizing the DAO Attack Forbes's Steven Ehrlich comes onto the pod to interview me about finding the DAO attacker. Topics what is The DAO, and why is it important? who are the key players in The DAO's story how the attacker pulled off the hack what legal questions surrounded the hack why finding the attacker is important the legal implications of identifying the attacker what Laura's interactions have been with the suspect what the future of DAOs may hold Thank you to our sponsors!

My guest today is Weso, Head of Strategic Partnership at Beefy Finance. Beefy Finance is a Decentralized, Multi-Chain Yield Optimizer platform that allows its users to earn compound interest on their crypto holdings. Through a set of investment strategies secured and enforced by smart contracts, Beefy Finance automatically maximizes the user rewards from various liquidity pools (LPs), automated market making (AMM) projects, and other yield farming opportunities in the DeFi ecosystem. The main product offered by Beefy Finance are the 'Vaults' in which you stake your crypto tokens. The investment strategy tied to the specific vault will automatically increase your deposited token amount by compounding arbitrary yield farm reward tokens back into your initially deposited asset. Despite the name 'Vault' suggests, your funds are never locked in any vault on Beefy Finance: you can always withdraw at any moment in time. They have over $1.2B TVL across 10 blockchains with over 700 vaults. Weso is the Head of Strategic Partnership at Beefy Finance. He has been a developer at Beefy for a few months after launch and is now helping further expand their partnership network. If you are interested in DeFi, generating wealth, and chasing yield this conversation is a must listen. In our conversation we discuss a variety of topics including Beefy Finance, Yield Optimization, opportunities in DeFi, Privacy, DAOs, and much more. We begin our conversation discussing the varying degrees of privacy. Weso does an excellent job at explaining the balancing act that comes with trying to build a protocol where the team is anonymous. He explains why he decided to dox himself and the benefit of being transparent in the crypto space. Our conversation transitions to discuss Beefy Finance. We discuss what is a yield optimizer and the power of compound interest as a way of generating wealth. Weso explains Beefy's strict security standards. Weso also explains what Vaults are and what their role is within the Beefy protocol. Weso explains how Beefy's is becoming the predominant yield optimizer across DeFi. Our conversation shifts to discuss the inflow of institutional capital into DeFi. Weso explains why institutions are beginning to invest in protocols like Beefy as ways of extracting yields and why he believes this trend is only beginning. Our next topic of discussion centered around market conditions and why Beefy has been able to retain users even with the increased volatility. Our final conversation topic was centered around DAOs. We discuss how DAOs are the future of work and collaboration. We discuss how digital identities will help provide anonymous developers and Web3 participants with a clear path towards reputation building. Please enjoy my conversation with Weso. -- ParaSwap: If you want to make a swap at the best price across the DeFi market, check out https://untoldstories.link/paraswap.

Binance Smart Chain is the third largest chain by TVL and its token, BNB, is the third-largest token by market capitalization. However, there are questions about hacks, centralization, lack of developer support, and sketch MEV transactions. On Unchained, Gwendolyn Regina, investment director of the Binance Smart Chain Growth Fund, and Samy Karim, ecosystem coordinator at Binance Smart Chain, give a candid interview discussing BSC, from its amazing growth in 2021 to some of the toughest questions surrounding the chain. Topics covered include: how and why BSC grew from 50,000 daily active users to about 7 million over the course of 2021 what differentiates Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain why Binance Smart Chain decided to design its blockchain with only 21 validators how Gwen and Samy envision BSC fitting into a multichain future what plans BSC has to scale its throughput why blockchain gaming is so important to BSC and how it will use its $1 billion growth fund to grow the gaming aspect of the chain how BSC's relationship between Binance and BNB works In the second half of the show, Sam and Gwendolyn respond to a few critiques, such as: is BSC really innovating, or is it just a copy and paste blockchain of Ethereum? why are there so many failed transactions on BSC? how is BSC addressing the numerous hacks on the blockchain? why has BSC's share of total value locked among smart contract blockchains fallen from 20% in May to 6%? how is BSC attempting to help developers, who, according to some critical posts, are struggling to work with BSC? why does it appear that some validators are front running without risk? does BSC have a future if Ethereum scales? what does BSC have planned for 2022?
