Next week we will bring you the highlights from this year's Future of Money panel. It's a two-parter, so stay tuned! Spoiler alert: as we look back there wasn't much that the various panelists got wrong, in some cases the timing was off, but in most they were spot-on as they discussed the digitization of the banking sector and the explosion of banking through the world.

Web3: Charting the Internet's Next Economic and Cultural Frontier by Alex Tapscott An essential introduction and guide to navigating the next Internet revolution—everything from the metaverse and NFTs to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity—from the co-author of the international bestseller Blockchain Revolution. The Web, and with it the Internet, are entering a new age. We've moved from the “Read-only Web,” which had little functionality for interacting with content, to the “Read-Write Web,” which offered seemingly endless collaborative opportunities, from sharing with our favorite people to shopping at our favorite brands. But the profusion of cyberattacks, data hacks, and online profiling have left many of us to view digital life as a Faustian bargain in need of a major rethink. That rethink is Web3, the “Read-Write-Own Web”—a decentralized Internet where individuals own their own identities and can securely trade assets like money, securities, intellectual property, and art peer to peer. Made possible by blockchains, the foundational technology of bitcoin, Web3 promises the biggest shake up of business since the invention of double-entry bookkeeping in the Middle Ages. It is the Internet's new frontier. In Web3, award-winning author and technology investor Alex Tapscott provides a cutting-edge guide to the Internet's next era. Covering everything from the metaverse and non-fungible tokens to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity, this indispensable, forward-thinking book describes the building blocks and often hidden technologies that will be foundational to our cultural and economic progress. About the Author Alex Tapscott is an entrepreneur, writer, and seasoned capital markets professional focused on the impact of emerging technologies, such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies, on business, government, and society.

On our final episode of Season 5, we're speaking with Raz about a variety of topics ranging from building games for his siblings as a child to starting his own business at age 14 to forming anonymous relationships online and so much more. Raz is the CEO and co-founder of Guild, a membership management tool that helps you automate requirements, roles, and rewards for your community.We start off by talking about Raz's childhood - how he learned to program at the young age of 6 or 7, how he grew up designing board games for his younger siblings because he wasn't allowed very much screen time to play the computer games he wanted to play, and how his love of all things games - the strategy, the lore, the escape into an alternative universe - all impacted his future decisions and successes as an investor and builder.Raz made it big back in DeFi summer of 2020 and shares some of his best investment tips with us, like how to identify entry and exit points and how to stay objective in this space. He talks about how investing has helped him become a better builder and some of the things he's still learning as a successful founder today.We then get into a conversation around DAOs, how he defines what constitutes a DAO, and whether he thinks DAOs have peaked yet. I ask him about how Guild has been able to strike such a good balance between being a well organized successful company while running on a relatively very flat organizational structure and championing a lot of the ethos of DAO organization that typically tends to lead to chaos, and he attributes a lot of that to the thinking and work of his brother and co-founder, Bruno, who we'll hopefully get on the podcast next season.This was the perfect episode to end the season on and definitely one of my personal favorites. And I know I've been saying this a lot lately, but the fact is this season was probably my favorite one yet. It's so inspiring to me that even in the midst of a bear market where sentiments around crypto and web3 are so low that there are still so many bright minds that are still so dedicated to building and furthering the potential that crypto and blockchain can have on the future of the internet.We'll be starting our next round of guest nominations and voting in a little over a week, so make sure you're following us on Twitter @rehashweb3 or join our Discord community so you can stay up to date on all the happenings around that.

In this episode of Web3 Innovators, your host Conor Svensson chats with Oleg Giberstein, COO and co-founder of Coinrule. Coinrule is a user-friendly platform for automated trading in the crypto space. Oleg shares his journey from a background in banking and risk roles to diving deep into the world of crypto and blockchain. He discusses the concept of non-state controlled currencies, the challenges and potential of DeFi, and the importance of liquidity for the adoption of crypto. They also touch on stablecoins, the future of payments, and the role of blockchain in privacy and transparency.Standout Quotes: • "At the end of the day, what is money? The key question is not even the medium of exchange itself. The key question is who sets interest rates?" • "This trend is really supported also by the rise of retail available AI because in the future you don't need JP Morgan to tell you what to buy. You have an AI assistant that kind of runs on live market data and gives you trading ideas."Episode Highlights:Oleg shares his journey into the world of crypto and blockchain, driven by an interest in private currencies and monetary policy.The appeal of non-state controlled currencies and the complexities of interest rate decisions by central banks.The analogy between religion's historical influence and central banks' role in the economy.The role of choice in crypto adoption and the potential of different currencies serving various purposes.The challenges of working with exchange APIs, particularly in the decentralised finance (DeFi) space.The potential for AI in trading and the impact on retail traders and investors are explored.The challenges and potential of DeFi, along with centralised and decentralised stablecoins, are discussed.Coinrule's upcoming partnership with Coinbase, expansion into traditional securities, and the launch of a strategies marketplace.Resources:Website: CoinruleTwitter: @CoinRuleHQLinkedIn: CoinruleContact Oleg Giberstein: LinkedIn | TwitterOleg Giberstein is the Co-founder and COO of Coinrule, a Y Combinator-backed platform that simplifies automated cryptocurrency trading for retail investors.

In episode 119, we're excited to welcome Mitch, DAO Steward at Giveth, a community-driven movement to transform the way we fund nonprofits and social causes. We discuss how they are using Web3 tools to reimagine philanthropy and the donor experience, DAOs and Giveth's “Decentralized Altruistic Community”, optimizing public goods funding with conviction voting and quadratic funding, and much more.--Three Key Takeaways--Traditionally, donors are rewarded for their contributions with a tax receipt and will often receive thank you letters and small gifts from charities. Web3 opens the door to more engaging rewards and recognition opportunities including special tokens which can be exchanged for rewards or sold on secondary markets, opportunities to participate in a DAO, token-gated NFTs, and more.Quadratic Funding provides greater matching funds to projects with the most unique donations, not those that just receive the most money. It empowers smaller donors by amplifying the impact of their contribution and minimizing the disproportionate impact of wealthier donors.Smaller nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and informal social movements are often excluded from traditional fundraising mediums, despite often being the ones implementing real change locally. By decentralizing the giving process, and creating new mechanisms for verifying projects, it can ensure that grassroots changemakers who are working on the frontline get the funding they need.--Full shownotes available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/--Buy us a coffee!--Help us out by buying us a coffee:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cryptoaltruism--Support us with a Crypto Donation--ETH(ERC20) - cryptoaltruism.eth (0xac5C0105914F3afb363699996C9914f193aeDD4A)Other tokens: cryptoaltruism.org/supportus--DISCLAIMER --While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

In this episode of the DeFi Download, Piers Ridyard interviews Cyrille Pastour, co-founder of Swaap. Cyrille and Piers discuss the inner workings of the automated market maker that is designed to protect liquidity providers by dynamically responding to the market.SummarySwaap provides yield to liquidity providers by utilising cutting-edge market-making models developed in collaboration with mathematicians. They use oracles and dynamic spread to ensure real and long-term yields. Swaap's algorithm determines what pricing it will provide to the market on a per-swap basis and includes safeguards to limit damage in the event of a hack. It is designed to safeguard liquidity providers against impermanent loss and ensure that returns are greater than hodling.During their discussion, Piers and Cyrille clarify the difference between exchanges and market makers. They analyse the problem Swaap seeks to address and the role of market makers in mature versus immature markets in determining price. They also touch on issues with Uniswap v2, in which liquidity providers are perpetually behind the information curve and unable to rebalance themselves, whereas arbitrageurs can make risk-free profits by manipulating the market price.Key takeawaysSwaap v2 is a new iteration in terms of infrastructure that aims to be more flexible and have better performance than Swaap v1.Swaap v2 has a hybrid infrastructure consisting of both on-chain and off-chain components. The off-chain module operates the quotation system to provide faster price information, and the on-chain verification module prevents extreme events and ensures a trust-minimized environment.Swaap is available on both Ethereum and Polygon, with Polygon being a preferable option for smaller portfolios due to its lower gas fees.The Swaap protocol enables DAOs to create liquidity against volatile assets, and the team is working on establishing partnerships with a number of DAOs.Chapters[01:05] What is the problem that Swaap is looking to solve as an automated market maker in the DeFi space, and why is it important to separate exchanges and market makers when considering liquidity providers and users?[03:59] The Uniswap conundrum: How inexperienced traders create risk-free profits for arbitrageurs[05:49] The role of market makers in mature vs. immature markets for determining price[08:38] Uniswap v2 liquidity providers are behind the information curve, while arbitrageurs make risk-free profits[12:02] The roles of exchange venues and market makers in financial market liquidity and market-making success factors[14:54] How Swaap differs from other market makers[18:54] Swaap's solution to sophisticated market actors exploiting liquidity providers [28:25] How Swaap's algorithm guards liquidity providers against hacks and impermanent loss[31:29] What's next on Swaap's roadmap and what to get excited about after V2[33:43] Where can people find out more about Swaap, and should they start on Ethereum or Polygon?Further resourcesWebsite: swaap.finance Twitter: @SwaapFinance Discord: discord.com/invite/vMNHgz7bMU
In episode 118, we're excited to welcome G.D. Anderson, Founder of Honey Badges, an NFT community dedicated to funding changemakers. We discuss how Web3 will transform donor engagement, DAOs and the power of decentralized grant making, stories of impact from the grassroots changemakers they've supported,6 inclusion in Web3, and more.--Three Key Takeaways--Traditional grantmaking is highly centralized, benefits larger charitable organizations, and is not accessible to grassroots changemakers. Web3 can help address this by decentralizing the grantmaking process and putting decision making power in the hands of the community.Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are a great tool to transform donor engagement and organize the community around causes. The traditional donor-charity relationship is transactional and uninspired, and Web3 tools like DAOs can give the average donor more of an opportunity to participate in the cause and see the impact of their donation.When it comes to building a more inclusive Web3, onboarding is essential. This includes creating onboarding experiences and tools geared towards individuals and communities who are traditionally excluded or underserved.--Full shownotes available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/--Buy us a coffee!--Help us out by buying us a coffee:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cryptoaltruism--Support us with a Crypto Donation--ETH(ERC20) - cryptoaltruism.eth (0xac5C0105914F3afb363699996C9914f193aeDD4A)Other tokens: cryptoaltruism.org/supportus--DISCLAIMER --While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

The height of the last bull run was when MakerDAO cofounder Rune Christensen felt most disillusioned by DeFi and DAOs. “I didn't even see how Maker was going to survive,” Christensen tells Laura Shin in the latest episode of Unchained. Now Christensen is leading an effort to help DAOs escape their trough of disillusionment. He says the ambitious “Endgame Plan” for MakerDAO seeks to overcome “the central issue of voter apathy.” Will it work or are DAOs doomed to fail? Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Show highlights: the disillusionment that comes with the growth of DAOs and the need for a new approach Rune's insights into the challenges that most DAOs face how Maker plans to implement alignment engineering through tools, gamification, and incentives what each phase of Maker's “Endgame Plan” seeks to accomplish the strategy behind Maker's rebranding, including the launch of new tokens while maintaining MKR and DAI the importance of governance boundaries in ensuring that participants follow the rules and contribute constructively the goal to reach a state of ossification and certainty, similar to Bitcoin the challenges of renaming tokens and the decision to keep the original brands why Rune believes that Phase 2 of the Endgame Plan will change the industry how SubDAOs will work to align incentives, improve the organization, and avoid ponzi schemes what Maker's “Atlas” is and how it intends to set boundaries how Maker plans to use artificial intelligence the role of delegates in the DAO and how users choose them the difference between “dovish” and “hawkish” governance what the motivation was for launching the Spark lending protocol why the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) is not offered to American investors and Rune's take on DeFi regulation why South Korea and Japan are the best crypto environments in the world, according to Rune whether Maker should be doing more to mitigate the influence of “whales,” given that Rune owns about 10% of the MKR supply Thank you to our sponsors!

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal and Policy Officer at Polygon Labs, about the current state of crypto regulation around the world.This is the first legal and policy focused conversation we've had on Rehash in over a year - the last conversation we had on crypto regulation was with Katherine Wu from Archetype and Crypto Council for Innovation all the way back in Season 2. The main difference I wanted to touch on in this episode (other than just getting a more current take on where crypto regulation currently stands) is getting a more global perspective on how different countries or regions of the world are looking at crypto. Rebecca talks about key pieces of crypto legislation like MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) in the EU and FIT (Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act) in the US and shares her perspectives on which countries have the most crypto friendly policies.We focus most of the conversation on crypto policy, but we do chat a bit on the legal front as well. Rebecca talks about some key court cases we've seen recently in the U.S., such as the Coinbase case, and shares her take on what she believes the SEC's strategy is and what that means for us as people building and working in the industry.Finally we wrap up with some spicy questions from our community, like how to stay out of jail as someone building in web3 or whether crypto will ever succeed in the U.S.Rebecca was nominated by Carsten and voted onto the podcast by Justin Conley, Katelyn Donnelly, Zayi Reyes, Meg Lister, Aaron Soskin, David Silverman, anon, and Carsten.COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenRebecca: https://twitter.com/RebeccaRettig1TheValueProp: https://thevalueprop.io/ SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzLivepeer: https://livepeer.org LINKSMarkets in Crypto Assets (MiCA)Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT)Crypto435TheValuePropGet involved in policy: Email policy@polygon.technology TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro4:00 The shift from legal to policy7:43 Infrastructure provider vs dapp provider9:29 Non-financial use cases for crypto10:02 High level overview of global crypto policy14:49 Government 101 (US)19:12 What is the SEC's strategy?20:39 People used to hate telephones20:51 SEC's lawsuit against Coinbase24:57 What will happen to DAOs and NFT projects without legal protections?26:36 Best advice for DAOs29:20 Will the US ever embrace crypto?30:56 Wyoming DAO LLCs31:58 Which country's laws apply?33:48 Most important crypto legislation takeaways36:06 How can I help push crypto policy forward?38:37 Will crypto ever succeed in the U.S.?39:25 Best places to live for web3 nomads40:03 How to stay out of jail 42:51 Follow Rebecca DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

In today's episode, we speak with Chris Duffey, Strategic Development Manager at Adobe, who comes on the podcast to discuss the exciting and evolving landscape of Web 3 and the Metaverse. Duffey kicks off the show by giving us a brief history of the web. He takes us back to the late 90s/early 2000s which saw the birth of Web 1.0, a read-only environment. This was followed by Web 2.0, which allowed for interactions with both reading and writing, enabling sharing and expression. He then takes us to the present day with Web 3.0, which expanded on the work of Web 2.0, focusing on co-ownership, decentralized finance, smart contracts, DAOs, and NFTs. Duffey distinguishes between the metaverse and Web 3, and in the process highlights the seven characteristics of each and their interconnectedness. As the conversation progresses, Duffey then leads onto the interplay between Web 3 and the Metaverse. He dives deeper into the characteristics of the metaverse, including immersive 3D experiences, real-time interactions, and co-ownership of digital assets. He also emphasizes the importance of interoperability among different metaverse worlds, allowing users to transfer assets seamlessly. With regardless to the potential for businesses to benefit from the Metaverse, Duffey advocates that the rise of the creative economy and new forms of commerce offers exciting prospects for businesses. During this part of the conversation, Duffey shares insights on the potential for businesses to co-create with consumers, leading to mutual success and community-building. Before wrapping up the episode, Duffey shares interesting insights from his forthcoming book, “Decoding the Metaverse.” He mentions that a surprising number of NFT artwork is predominantly stored on the cloud rather than on the blockchain, posing potential risks for those investing in this technology. He also shares how NFTs have evolved from being investments in digital artwork to forming loyalty clubs with token gating, offering exciting possibilities for businesses. Our Guest

On this episode of Rehash, we're speaking with Peter Pan, partner at 1kx, about how to identify successful early stage web3 projects, why certain NFT projects from the last bull run succeeded while others failed, and how we might be able to simulate real life physics in a digital environment. 1kx is an early stage investment firm that specializes in ecosystem growth.One of the hardest things to do in this space is to separate the hype from what's real, and Peter does a great job of explaining how he analyzes various web3 projects to determine which ones will last the test of time. While most investors focus on the standard rhetoric of - you want to look at who the founder is, who the team is, Peter's thinking goes much deeper into what are the foundational layers of the project and what it's aiming to accomplish, and what impact can this project have on the broader tech space (not just the web3 space).We talk a lot about the role of community in shaping the success of a web3 project, and this led us down a rabbit hole of reminiscing and analyzing some of the NFT projects that rose to fame during the 2021 NFT craze. It's really interesting to look back on some of the NFT projects I hedged my bets on back in 2021 and see where they are today (and how wrong I was about them). Finally, we talk about autonomous worlds, onchain gaming, and why Peter is a proponent of being able to simulate real world scenarios in a digital sandbox environment. We wrap up with some hot takes on community building that Peter shared in seemingly contradictory tweets back in late 2021 - early 2022 and give him a chance to explain the context in which he wrote those tweets.

While ‘Decentralized Autonomous Organizations' and ‘Incorporation' might sound mutually exclusive, that could not be further from the truth. In fact, DAOs are not really protected or given the opportunity to realize their full potential until they incorporate. The reason why is threefold: first, if a DAO is not recognized as a legal entity, all of its contributors are at significant personal risk; second, if a DAO doesn't have corporate personhood, it cannot own any intellectual property, participate in traditional finance, or hire employees; third, without tax entity, all of a DAOs members can be held accountable for taxes on any net earnings the DAO generates. The problem is, not a lot of people know about this and continue to organize with the hopes of changing the world without first ensuring that their foundation is stable. Others who might be aware about the benefits of incorporation dismiss it out of fear that it is ‘too complicated' or ‘too expensive.' In reality, incorporation has never been easier than it is today. In this podcast episode, Adam Miller will share everything you need to know about how to incorporate your DAO.
In today's episode of The Metaverse Podcast, we host Carlos Gonzalez Juarez of Aragon DAO, a company committed to building flexible and secure tools for creating, managing, and scaling DAOs.

CityDAO Podcast | A Community-Governed Crypto City of the Future
BanklessDAO was founded by David Hoffman and Ryan Sean Adams on May 4th, 2021, when they airdropped 35,000 BANK tokens to each Bankless premium subscriber. Following the true ethos of decentralization, they stepped back and let the DAO take shape. While their media company, Bankless LLC, continues to operate as its own media node, the Bankless brand is propagated through the DAO and its sub-DAOs. Now, the Bankless ecosystem as a whole creates user-friendly onramps for people to discover decentralized financial technologies through education, media and culture. Their mission is to onboard 1 billion people to crypto. The nodes in their growing ecosystem collaborate to create user-friendly onramps for people to discover, use, learn, and enjoy the benefits of Web3. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/city-dao-podcast/message

In this first episode in a series of conversations with Ledger and Friends With Benefits, we talk to the Mayor of FWB Alex Zhang about building DAOs and community business in general. We talk about the desires of communities to diverge over time and the desires of companies to make money and how to balance those two things from a perspective of community incentives and ownership. We talk about how to keep community cool, when nothing can stay cool forever, and how to put structures in place to keep companies cool through different cycles.FWB is one of the first community owned social DAOs and it is new kind of social network. It started by asking the question, “can you contain cultural value in a crypto asset”? We talk about how to align community incentives, learnings from the first couple of years of FWB, and where the DAO is headed in the near term. We talk about how it works to govern a DAO by voting, different voting regimes, and whether you can build a successful brand “by democracy.” We talk about Network States, startups, DAOs and the parallels between all of them. Finally we talk about taking a URL community into IRL experiences. We discuss FWB FEST22 and how we brought FWB to life and what to expect at FWB FEST23.Finally, we discuss the tools that FWB is building like Gatekeeper and the FWB App where you can track events, participate in FWB governance, and interact with other members of the FWB community with an eye toward eventually moving away from discord and into the app as the ultimate digital home.FWB FEST is a destination gathering of new-internet communities, and a temporary network city for creating culture and exploring new ideas. FWB FEST23 is taking place in Idyllwild, California from August 4–6, 2023. For more FEST info and passes, visit https://fwbfest.xyz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On episode 345 of the BlockHash Podcast, Co-founder Zurab Shavlidze joins Brandon Zemp to explain how they've created a seamless process for anyone to create their own DAO. In the DeFi market, there are no effective and convenient tools for companies and projects to invest in decentralized protocols as a joint entity. In XDAO a group of people can easily create a Decentralized Autonomous Organization, deposit crypto assets, manage them by voting, sell DAO shares and directly interact with DeFi protocols. In short, XDAO is a unique tool for creating Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and jointly managing crypto assets in just a few clicks. XDAO offers a complex multi-signature wallet designed for DAOs. XDAO is designed for Venture Capital Funds, Asset Management Companies, Foundations, Startups, DeFi projects, Freelance groups, NFT owners, GameFi guilds and more much. ⏳ Timestamps: 0:00 | Introduction and Pre-roll 2:00 | Who is Zurab Shavlidze? 6:20 | What is XDAO? 10:50 | Create your own DAO with XDAO 11:21 | Who is XDAO designed for? 13:02 | XDAO collaborations and use-cases 16:25 | What is DEXDAO? 20:14 | XDAO security audits 21:15 | Future of DAOs 24:20 | DAOs as legal entities 26:35 | XDAO Roadmap 31:12 | Conclusion
In this episode of the Ownership Economy, Jahed and Martin welcome back Nathan Schneider, a thought leader who enlightened us on the intricacies of platform cooperatives, DAOs, and the burgeoning Ownership Economy in our 2021 conversation. In this episode, we catch up with Nathan to understand the remarkable transformations that have swept these spaces over the last two years, and how these shifts have influenced his perspective. Together, we dissect Nathan's profound assertion about the dire need for democratic financial mechanisms analogous to venture capital and a supporting software stack for enhancing democratic governance. We further analyze Nathan's provocative piece on creating a robust policy platform for DAOs, its crucial importance, and how Section 230 has shaped the digital world. This discussion delves into the unique features of network-native organizations, and issues of transparency, sufficient decentralization, and participant control within the DAO space. Our conversation culminates with an exploration of Nathan's vision for DAOs: a tool to pivot the online economy away from digital feudalism towards shared ownership, fostering a culture of effective self-governance in our communities and governments. Join us for this riveting conversation as we journey through the evolving contours of the digital economy and governance.

On episode 343 of the BlockHash Podcast, Core Team member Constantin joins Brandon Zemp to talk about how blockchain DAOs can be used to preserve IP addresses. IPv4 addresses are a vital Internet resource that was depleted in 2019. Most of them are assigned to large corporations and distributed unevenly. Their DAO builds a pool of IP addresses which brings a new vision on how this scarce resource should be handled and preserved. ⏳ Timestamps: 0:00 | Introduction and Pre-roll 2:10 | Who is Constantin? 9:20 | Lack of IPv4 addresses 12:40 | AI and VR will increase demand for IP addresses 13:00 | What is IPv4DAO? 18:55 | ICANN and IP addresses 21:45 | Who contributes IP addresses? 24:20 | Root Token 26:05 | IPv4 vs. IPv6 33:25 | Leasing IP addresses 37:30 | Conclusion
