Welcome to a special Behind the Scenes episode as we wrap up our very first season of the podcast! Throughout the season, we've explored and demystified many foundational concepts in the Web3 space. Nothing was off-limits, from virtual land sales to cyber security, crypto, and DAOs. Our goal? To create a safe space for traditionally underrepresented people to feel comfortable getting curious and talking about this new revolution. We're just getting started! In this conversation, I'm joined by three members of Eve Wealth who have each been a critical part of our podcast team. Mary, Chelsea, Alana, and I talk about why we wanted to start the podcast, how this first experiment with the DAO worked, what it was like for our global community to come together to make this production happen, key challenges and opportunities we uncovered along the way, plans for the future of the show and Eve Wealth, and more. Highlights Why we wanted to share what goes on behind the scenes of the podcast How DAOs are changing the way we think about organizations The motivation behind creating the Women, Wealth, & Web3 podcast How being a part of a DAO helped Mary start her angel investing journey Eve Wealth DAO's origin story Some of the highlights that came out from our dive deep into Web3 Challenges and opportunities that came out of decentralized collaboration Topics we plan to explore and people we'd love to talk to in Season 2 What's on the horizon for Eve Wealth? Key terms DAO (decentralized autonomous organization): A blockchain-based organization that is democratically managed by members through open-source code and typically formalized by self-enforcing smart contracts. DAOs lack centralized management structures/ All decisions are voted upon by network stakeholders. DAOs often utilize a native utility token to incentivize network participation, and allocate proportional voting power to stakeholders based on the size of their stake. As DAOs are built on top blockchains — often Ethereum — their transactions are executed transparently on the underlying blockchain.

How can decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) build digital communities with intentionality? What does it look like to manage contributions within the flat hierarchy of a DAO? Which areas of the economy do DAOs best serve? Today we're tackling the power of community building, why we do it, and how the web3 ecosystem facilitates DAO creation and maintenance. But first, a little background. A DAO is a community of people who come together without a central leader. They're built on a blockchain using smart contracts, and members often buy their way in by purchasing a governance token specifically for the DAO. DAO tokens allow members to vote on decisions around how the pool of money is spent and managed. Members can join worldwide and often communicate with each other on Discord channels. Julia Lipton, the founder of DAO Master, joins us to give us insight into the making of DAO Masters and share her experience building strong digital communities. Starting with a plan to research the top twenty DAO tools, DAO Masters has become an exceptional resource for the ecosystem. In this episode, Julia and I talk about why many of us have a complicated relationship with money, the future of community building within DAOs, the pros and cons of decentralization, why DAOs tend to attract a global audience, the essential elements of a sustainable community, and more. Highlights Introducing Julia Lipton & DAO Masters How Julia transitioned from Web2 to Web3 in her businesses Confronting our relationship with money Growing beyond the savings-focused family tradition The future of community building within DAOs The powerful effects of ownership How DAOs best serve the economy The accidental DAO Managing member contributions Pros and cons of decentralization Differentiating between backers and contributors Shifting the focus away from retention Why DAOs tend to attract a global audience The most exciting yet terrifying aspect of DAOs The pressure of running a DAO Embracing a trial and error mindset Key terms used in the show Smart Contracts: Digital one-of-one agreements NFT: Non-fungible tokens; An entry on a blockchain establishing who has ownership of a digital item PFP: Profile picture; the term typically is used for images that can be bought as part of an NFT series and used on social media profiles Definition source: https://www.gmw3.com/2022/02/web3-glossary/ Connect with Julia Lipton & DAO Masters DAO Masters Website https://www.daomasters.xyz/ DAO Masters on Twitter https://twitter.com/daomastersxyz DAO Masters on Discord https://discord.com/invite/RgvbrKH7Da Julia Lipton on Twitter https://twitter.com/JuliaLipton Connect with Eve Wealth DAO Go from crypto-curious to crypto-confident with the DeFi Curious Course https://www.evewealth.com/defi-curious Check out our social channels at @evewealthhq on: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/eve-wealth-hq/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/evewealthhq/ Twitter https://twitter.com/evewealthhq Facebook https://www.facebook.com/evewealthhq Eve Wealth Website https://www.evewealth.com/

On this episode of Rehash, we're chatting with Loop Crypto co-founder, Eleni Steinman. After working for the federal government, Eleni went to business school in hopes of starting a business of her own. Once she was there, she stumbled across the Bitcoin whitepaper and fell down the crypto rabbit hole, eventually moving to Chicago to get her foot in the crypto industry door.After working in the space for several years, Eleni took the leap and co-founded a project to solve a problem that she and her peers found themselves constantly running into. That problem was the lack of auto payment and subscription options in the crypto space, and the answer was Loop Crypto.Eleni tells us all about the goals and plans of Loop, from streamlining SaaS subscription payments for DAOs to making crypto donations and loans easier than ever and much more. We also get into the future use cases of Loop, talk about music NFTs and ticketing, the state of crypto security, and discuss the role of regulation in the web3 space.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a community-governed entity with no central authority. Imagine a corporation — made up of a network of individuals with a common interest — where the governance rules and decision-making are executed by software programs and the community shares a bank account funded with cryptocurrency for the purpose of fulfilling their shared vision. We have seen DAOs form to bid on an original copy of the U.S. Constitution, to buy an NBA team, and to facilitate financial services. In this month's TRM Talk, we're joined by leading experts to unpack the Tao of a DAO: Aaron Wright, Professor at Cardozo School of Law and co-founder and CEO of Tribute Labs; Graham Novak, Partner at 28th Street Ventures who launched ConstitutionDAO; and Patrick South, Director of Business Development at TRM Labs. Tune in to learn: What a DAO is and how they are operating today How DAOs are thinking about compliance and security How other businesses can engage with or invest in DAOs; can you "Know-Your-DAO"? The outlook for DAO-related disruption This podcast is hosted by TRM Labs, a blockchain analytics company. We work with crypto businesses, financial institutions and government agencies to monitor, detect and investigate fraud and financial crime in crypto.

As listeners of Nori podcasts, you might know that we use cryptocurrency in the form of Nori tokens which may become a market-driven price for carbon removal. You also might know we issue non-fungible tokens, otherwise known as NFTs, when buyers purchase those removals. But you may not know the history of the blockchain we run on or how the system works. So, where can you go to learn Ethereum 101? Laura Shin is a crypto journalist and host of the Unchained Podcast. A former senior editor at Forbes, Laura was the first mainstream reporter to cover the blockchain full-time.

“What I've come to realize is that investing literally shapes the world that we have. It is effectively at the highest of levels, allocating resources, whether financial or human capital, to things and teams that build the future that we all live in. Investing builds the world.” - Ian Lee, Syndicate.Today we discuss the topic of a revolutionary new construct – DAOs – and how it can change investing for the better.Today's guest is Ian Lee, the Co-Founder of Syndicate.Ian combines a background in financial services with a prescient view on the future with what he's building at Syndicate.We discuss: How Syndicate is doing to investing what YouTube did to film and media. How Web3 enables community ownership where Web2 didn't and how investing will become more community driven. How DAOs are a social financial technology coordinating social and financial capital seamlessly and natively on the internet. How DAOs are unlocking participation from all sorts of communities who historically haven't had access to investing. Why Crypto Covens is one of his favorite NFT projects because it's changing the face of investing. And how we are in the middle of a multi generational shift of decentralizing and democratizing - and how Syndicate's Web3 Investment Clubs enable that to happen. Ian has been a serial founder, he's worked in the Office of the Global Chief Innovation Officer at Deloitte, he's run the Lab Network and Acceleration Fund at Citi Ventures and was Head of Bitcoin & Blockchain at Citi before co-founding IDEO's CoLab Venture fund, where he led their crypto efforts and made over 80 investments in the crypto space.Most recently, he's founded a ground-breaking company, Syndicate, which is a decentralized investing protocol and social network that is creating the infrastructure for DAOs to run efficiently and effectively. Syndicate is creating the infrastructure and mechanisms for much more efficient, digitally native human coordination.DAOs have similar properties as corporations, but they are significantly faster and cheaper to set up and run because code governs the decisions and actions taken.It's hard to put into a short paragraph how profound the creation of Syndicate could be for the formation and governance of organizations and Ian's background lends itself incredibly well to both understanding how things worked in a Web2 (and financial services) world and how they can work better in a Web3 world.Ian and I had a fascinating conversation about his desire to make investing more inclusive and impactful – and how DAO structures can enable that.Thanks Ian for coming on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. It was a pleasure to have you help us peer into the future of investing.

The SSI Orbit Podcast – Self-Sovereign Identity, Decentralization and Web3
About Episode In this conversation, I sit down with Stepan Gershuni for the second time on this pod, the first time being in Episode 9 when we talked about the Economics of Self-Sovereign Identity. If you haven't listened to that one I suggest you do as it was a very interesting conversation that looked into how SSI can be applied to paper based and web2 models, and then dove a bit into web3. This conversation is more focused on the impact of SSI on web3, where the main conversation point is around DAOs (which is an acronym for decentralized autonomous organizations). A DAO is the web3 version of a company or a community. Think of it this way, if an NFT represents a piece of digital media, a DAO represents a whole media company. In the conversation, we discuss: What are DAOs? How DAOs are the next logical evolution of coordination mechanisms for communities & companies. How DAOs are really just a mix of Decentralized ID + Reputation. How the adoption of Verifiable Credentials with DAOs and open protocols can take off very quick within the next year. How a DAO can be an Issuer/Verifier of Verifiable Credentials. The need for decentralized reputation mechanisms and trust scores. About Guest Stepan Gershuni is the Lead Product Manager at Affinidi, Founder of Credentia (SSI for education in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan) and also as a hobby runs the Crypto-economics Research Group, a meetup for all things decentralized/web3.

Colony co-founder Jack du Rose joins the podcast to discuss DAOs — or decentralized autonomous organizations — and how they can shape the future of work. With Colony, the possibilities for how companies are structured are endless and accessible to anyone. A DAO is a new way to structure an organization that gives each individual the autonomy to shape how the organization is run. Every shareholder can have a say in proposals and improvements of the DAO. DAOs have the potential to change what work looks like. And Colony will make it accessible to a wider audience than ever before. Topics on this MomentRanks Podcast with Jack du Rose Why was Colony created? What is a DAO — or Decentralized Autonomous Organization? What's the difference between decentralized and centralized organizations? How DAOs can change the future of work across industries What is the potential of DAOs? How to contribute to a DAO? ***** Learn more about Colony DAOs: https://colony.io/ Join the Colony Discord: https://clny.io/discord Follow Jack on Twitter: @JackduRose ***** Follow Max Minsker on Twitter: @MaxMinsker Follow MomentRanks on Twitter: @MomentRanks Edited by Christian Hardy: @ByHardy Music by Soulker. ********** MomentRanks.com is the premier Top Shot resource for account and Moment valuation down to the serial number, marketplace tools, the latest sales, and more.
