Blockchain technology is open source right, but to advance the development of accounting standards for digital assets, we need accounting bodies to be more open for collaboration in these changing times. This revolution cannot take place in an ivory tower. A group of accountants at Propeller Industries have answered the call, and are pioneering a new reporting methodology for digital assets, through the Statement of Digital Assets, or short for SoDA. SoDA is a standardized reporting methodology that bridges Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with on-chain holdings. By providing a transparent lens through which to view digital assets, SoDA demystifies the often-opaque GAAP balance sheets, offering stakeholders a clear picture of a firm's liquidity and digital asset holdings. On Episode 65, I spoke with Sam Leichman, the leader of the Blockchain Practice Area at Propeller Industries, who is leading the SoDA initiative. Propeller provides ‘full stack' CFO and accounting outsourced services to VC-backed startups. Currently they work with over 50 web3 clients including Optimism, cLabs, Figment, POAP, and VeeFriends.

Tate started building on the Permaweb while in high school during the middle of the first wave of COVID. His foray into Arweave began with storing study guides that were being repeatedly deleted from the students' shared drives. He subsequently built nest.land, where developers can store code modules on the Permaweb for safe-keeping. In short, this was just the beginning. After creating both Verto Exchange and ArConnect (the popular browser extension), his latest venture is Community Labs.Community Labs, also referred to as "CLabs" just raised $30 million to fund their efforts in creating fundamental technology and protocols geared towards the Arweave ecosystem at large. This is a significant raise (possibly the largest to date in the Arweave ecosystem), and one that represents the opportunity available for both developers and entrepreneurs looking to build the next web. With an emphasis on both "structured" and "unstructured" time throughout his day, Tate continues to actively invent and collaborate with his growing and distributed team. Considering the fact that most of what is being built has never been done before, the model of unstructured time can enable more creativity and freedom to think differently. While the company is relatively new, those involved via investments/advisors and beyond have a lot of experience that they are bringing to the table. CLabs already has four ventures underway, three of which are protocols enabling further enhancements for the developer experience. Enjoy this episode, Tate shares his story, philosophy on building, and the path forward for the Arweave ecosystem and CLabs.

with @michelekorver @jai_ramaswamy @smc90We tease apart the facts vs buzz around recent news -- that the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Tornado Cash for allegedly laundering proceeds of cybercrimes, and then later the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service stated that they arrested a suspected developer of Tornado Cash Tornado Cash -- including what's novel and what's not here, as well as the broader regulatory and compliance backdrop. But we also share an evergreen explainer that goes well beyond recent events, to help crypto founders and others navigate various regulatory and compliance requirements for builders... while still ensuring innovation. The first third covers a ton of analysis beyond the news around Tornado Cash -- from broader backdrop to specifics to players to what's novel or not in recent actions; as well as going into the differences between sanctions and national securities laws, to civil enforcement actions, criminal liability and money laundering, and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) program compliance requirements.We then do a brief interlude on the difference between obfuscating vs privacy preserving technologies, and why that matters in the big picture.And then the SECOND half of the episode dives deep into understanding and navigating compliance and legal for builders, covering: different frameworks, principles, common myths & misconceptions; when and how to resource (tooling to hiring); a lightning-round primer on the alphabet soup of governmentt entities relevant to this space; advice for BOTH entrepreneurs & government agencies on engaging with each otherand much, much more… that's all in the second half of the episode.Our expert guests (in conversation with Sonal Chokshi) are: Michele Korver, head of regulatory at a16z crypto, former federal prosecutor who was also at the Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as their chief digital currency advisor; she also spent time in the U.S. Departmentt of Justice, where she was the first dedicated subject matter expert in cryptocurrency-related prosecutions and forfeitures; andJai Ramaswamy, chief legal officer at Andreessen Horowitz, where he oversees legal and compliance; he was also formerly chief risk and compliance officer at cLabs, which launched the decentralized protocol Celo; Jai also headed (or advised) on AML compliance & risk management at major banks (Capital One, Bank of America); and previously spent over a decade in government including significant time in the U.S. Department of Justice criminal division, where he focused on cybercrime, asset forfeiture, and money laundering. As a reminder: None of the following is legal, business, investment, or tax advice; please see a16z.com/disclosures for more important information, including a link to a list of our investments.
There are not enough hours in the day for Marek Olszewski. As co-founder and CTO of cLabs and president of Valora, Marek, along with partners, are developing a crypto ecosystem (Celo) that is not only profitable but of service to people. Marek and cLabs are making it easier and cheaper for people to send money with fewer fees at a faster rate. Join us as we discuss: The synergy between Marek's values and the technology to make his ideals a reality The practical uses of Celo's Layer 1 blockchain Celo's development of tokens for smartphone use
Cryptocurrency continues to dominate the headlines, from starting the year at a high with major TV ads to questions in recent weeks about the stability of the market. In this episode of In the Public Interest, co-host and Partner John Walsh is joined by fellow Partners Tiffany Smith and Zachary Goldman to explore the world of Web3 with Jai Ramaswamy. Ramaswamy is the Chief Legal Officer at Andreessen Horowitz—otherwise known as “A16Z,” an ode to the practice of shortening long words used repeatedly in code by taking the first and last letter of a word and the number of letters in between. Prior to joining A16Z, Ramaswamy served as the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at cLabs. He has over a decade of experience at the Justice Department, first serving as a prosecutor focused on white collar crime and cybercrime in the Southern District of New York and later as Chief of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section. Ramaswamy also worked in the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section at the Justice Department. Smith and Goldman regularly advise clients on regulatory issues related to cryptocurrency and the broader FinTech sector. Both write frequently on regulatory developments affecting the Web3 space, including cryptocurrency and stablecoins. Smith, Goldman and Ramaswamy probe the many applications of decentralized systems in Web3, from cryptocurrency to NFTs and beyond. Ramaswamy shares why he believes regulatory concerns—not technology issues—will be the principal roadblock in this new decentralized ecosystem. The episode also touches on the delicate balancing act of promoting innovation while mitigating the emerging risks associated with decentralized computing.

This podcast episode of the Future of Money Podcast by the Digital Euro Association focusses on Stablecoins. DEA founding member Manuel Klein talks with Markus Franke, Partner and economist at cLabs who work on Celo stablecoins, about what stablecoins are, which different types of stablecoins exist and which advantages and disadvantages the different types of stablecoins bring. After having described the different stablecoin-types, Manuel and Markus focus on the decentralized stablecoins of celo: Celo is a layer 1 blockchain with stablecoins like the Celo Dollar and Celo Euro that are optimised for decentralised finance applications on cell phones. Manuel and Markus discuss how the decentralized celo Stablecoins differ from centralized stablecoins and how they are issued, backed and redeemed. Last but not least, Markus explains how celo is aiming to become environmentally sustainable money and which use cases the members of the celo alliance for prosperity work on. Make sure to listen to this very insightful episode on a promising form of the private digital euro: the decentralized stablecoins of celo.
Dr. Markus Franke is a partner at cLabs working on Celo, an open source, global platform that aims to facilitate secure and efficient cross border payments to anyone with a mobile device.

Monty C. M. Metzger, CEO and Founder at LCX, discussed with Markus Franke - Partner at cLabs - Celo Foundation, on the topic "Democratizing Finance And The Future of Money" where they discuss What is Celo?, Difference between cLabs & Celo Foundation?, Structure behind Celo Dollar and Celo Euro?, Importance of LCX joining Celo Ecosystem, Roadmap of Celo and many more exciting topics about LCX and Celo.
Patrick Awori, Founder and CEO at Imaginarium, a Kenyan-based FinTech behind the Circle, a virtual savings platform, hosted another episode of Voice of FinTech: Africa Series. Patrick spoke to Umar Sebyala, Uganda Ecosystem lead at cLabs, working on Celo, about democratizing access to financial services leveraging blockchain. Africa's young and tech-savvy population has already embraced mobile money and is now looking to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to redefine the digital economy. Numerous decentralized finance applications have emerged as possible solutions to unlocking economic health and prosperity across the continent, especially for the 350 million adults who are still excluded from accessing meaningful financial services (about 17% of the global population). As collective sentiment about blockchain technology rises, so does the debate surrounding its evolution from hype to mainstream in Africa. In this episode, Umar Sebyala walks us through the Celo Foundation's mission to empower anyone with a smartphone to access financial services on a decentralized platform operated by a community of users. We discuss Celo's Alliance for Prosperity initiative, and how the many stakeholders across the world work together to create a connected and purposeful experience for everyone. We also delve into trends in the adoption of blockchain technology and examine the Celo community's artful ways around some of the challenges such as volatility and awareness. We conclude the episode with a chat about sustainability and pinpoint a few gaps that fintech entrepreneurs, investors and enthusiasts can bridge to consolidate early gains in achieving long-term prosperity for all.

O comportamento do consumidor nunca mudou tanto em um curto espaço de tempo como estamos vivendo agora. Essas mudanças já apareciam antes da pandemia, mas foram sim acentuadas. A Nestlé, com seu objetivo de trabalhar sempre com o consumidor ao centro das suas decisões de negócio, decidiu há poucos meses, fazer um movimento e internalizar algumas pesquisas de mercado e criou o CLabs Diego Venturelli, Head de consumer marketing insights, é quem lidera o novo CLabs, e conta para gente o que mudou. Quais os ganhos que a internalização gerou, como e quando os Institutos de pesquisa ainda continuam sendo parceiros, e se ele acredita que esse movimento de internalizar essa inteligência só funciona para grandes empresas ou não. A Resposta dele para essa última pergunta foi muito interessante. Falamos sobre a gestão dos dados, as respostas ágeis e quais as características que profissionais que querem e buscam trabalhar mais com pesquisa e entendimento de mercado devem ter. Com certeza sempre temos algo a aprender com os movimentos e aprendizados de uma empresa como a Nestle.
