Podcast appearances and mentions of luis cuende

On today's episode I'm joined by and Jorge Izquierdo and Alejandro Perezpayá.   Jorge Izquierdo is the co-founder of Aragon, the first full featured on-chain DAO governance system. On this episode, Jorge and Alejandro Perezpayá join me to discuss the history of Aragon and their new startup Firm. First, Jorge tells the story of how he and Luis Cuende pivoted from a building a startup to fight patent trolls to cofounding Aragon in 2016, the year of the infamous DAO fork. We discuss the evolution of Aragon, and what worked and what didn't in the first iteration of onchain governance tooling on Ethereum. In the second half of the show we focus on Firm. Firm is an operating system for internet companies. The product combines Safe's multisig permissions affordances, Ricardian contracts for incorporation in a specific jurisdiction, and onchain representations of capitalization tables for transparent and onchain corporate ownership. As always, this show is provided for entertainment and education purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or any form of endorsement or suggestion. Crypto is risky and you alone are responsible for doing your research and making your own decisions. I think a lot of people with experience building DAOs discover a newfound appreciation for the tried and true corporate firm. It was great speaking with Jorge and Alejandro about their journey and perspective on the future of internet native companies. I hope you enjoy the show.

On this extra special episode, the boys are joined by Luis Cuende and Anastasiya Belyaeva of Nation3, the world's first internet-native jurisdiction and "cloud nation." Luis (cofounder of Aragon) and Anastasiya discuss their network state optimism, how DAOs and smart contracts will shape a digital court system, and the benefits of becoming a Nation3 citizen. Then, they dive into capital formation in special economic zones, how digital states can support values-driven community, and the relative value of patriotism.

For centuries, we have been led to believe that nation states are the only way to organize humankind at scale. But governments all around the world are failing to react swiftly to the severe destruction of our planet from things like war and climate change, and this is endangering our whole species. Nation3 is ready to overturn this, by building a Web3-powered, tax-free, solarpunk sovereign cloud nation. It is structured as a DAO, meaning there is no legal entity, no gatekeepers, and no influence by trad states. The goal is to gradually build or invest in products and services that allow citizens to be actively involved in economic activity. The $NATION token serves as the gateway to participate in the community Discord, participate in governance decisions, receive an NFT passport, and eventually receive services provided by the new cloud nation.We were joined by founders Luis and Anastasiya to chat about why they see this is as necessary for humankind, how the legal, governance and economic aspects will work, and the long term visions for the project.Topics covered in this episode:Luis and Anastasiya's backgroundsThe problem that Nation3 is trying to solveHow the legal system worksThe differences between Nation3 and traditional nationsThe core services Nation3 will provideWhy is the nation tax-free and how will the economy be supported?Issues with selling passportsHow will democracy work?The biggest learnings from AragonWhat is the vision for acquiring landEpisode links: Nation3Nation3 TechtreeNation3 on TwitterAnastasiya on TwitterLuis on TwitterSponsors: Tally Ho: Tally Ho is a new wallet for Web3 and DeFi that sees the wallet as a public good.

What is Aragon? Today, Juri Maibaum has the pleasure to welcome Luis Cuende to the show. He is the Co-founder of Aragon. Aragon makes it easy to create and integrate DAOs. But what are DAOs anyway? And how will they change the world? This is what we will discuss today! ARAGON

Luis Cuende, Co-Founder and Core Contributor at Aragon is a self proclaimed ‘Free Software’ lover and hacker. We talk about how DAOs (Decentralised Autonomous Organisations) allow us to govern supranational protocols as ‘digital jurisdictions’, with manifestos and bylaws that remove ambiguities, reduce frictions and the changes of forking of networks. We talk about how these technologies are being experimented with, their convergence with gaming culture and potential to some day challenge the nation state itself.

This week’s interview is with Aragon co-founder Luis Cuende. Aragon is a platform for users to create their own decentralized autonomous organizations. DAOS are organizations that have as much of its operations put into code as possible, and have smart contracts execute those operations. Owners hold tokens of the DAO, much like owners of a company hold shares, and make management decisions by voting with those tokens. They’re as transparent, immutable and secure as the blockchains they run on. Aragon wants to make it easy for anyone to build these futuristic companies. Cuende started this project in 2016, at a time when most had given up on these organizations after the crash of what’s likely the most well-known DAO so far, called The DAO. The space has recovered and in the past year, thousands of DAOs holding millions of dollars have flourished. The dream of more fair and open organizations, which anyone can access and create, is back at a time when the world seems to really need them. People are losing trust in institutions and crypto can provide an alternative. But Cuende says he’s saddened to discover the space is nowhere near ready.

This week on The Money Movement, Jeremy interviews Professor of Economics and Director of the Blockchain Innovation Hub at RMIT University, Professor Jason Potts, followed by Luis Cuende, Co-founder at Aragon, and Aaron Wright, Co-founder at OpenLaw and Professor at Cardozo Law School.   Public blockchain infrastructure creates a new global public good in the form of a system of shared and immutable record-keeping, transactions and rules-enforcement. We've explored how this infrastructure opens up massive transformations in the basic building blocks of finance, including ubiquitous global value exchange with stablecoins, and advancements through programmable money.     Now we want to dive into some of the more profound possibilities that arrive with this technology, diving into the very essence of how we form organisations to create value, govern and coordinate economic activity. Going from the macro into the micro, we'll explore how blockchains are opening up completely new forms of global corporate forms.    We are privileged to be joined by leading academic thinkers, entrepreneurs and technologists who are the very cutting edge of re-defining the firm in the age of blockchains. Be sure to tune-in and join us live on Thursday, May 28th at 1pm EDT, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.    About the show   The global economy is experiencing unprecedented challenges and change. Business leaders everywhere are grappling with how to transform their companies to become more digital, resilient and efficient.

The aftershock of the 2016 The DAO hack meant that DAOs weren’t nearly as hyped as ICOs and later some other aspects of the web3 movement. In 2019, however, DAOs came roaring back and start 2020 with the wind at their sails.  In this episode, we look at the 2019 DAO tale of the tape - what people thought would happen and what actually did happen, including the launch of Moloch, MetaCartel, Ethereum’s MarketingDAO and more than 1000 DAOs on Aragon. We also hear from Aragon founder Luis Cuende who discusses 1) why the newly launched Aragon courts expand what DAOs can do; 2) examples of the need for subjective human intervention in DAOs; and 3) why 2020 is poised to be DAOs best year yet.

Luis, the co-founder of Aragon, joins us on Base Layer to talk all about Governance. Aragon is a project that many in the digital asset ecosystem are starting to look at for their unique governance tools -- a subject area that has show itself to be very difficult for some protocols to see through successfully. We also discussed the ability to create your own organization in 5 minutes and 2020 being the year of the DAO (question mark there). So much good stuff in this chat - def check it out! 

“Because I think, today, a lot of the uncertainty around DAOs is that they cannot grow out of their code in their smart contract. And smart contracts don’t know about all human subtleties.” DAOcast finally features Aragon! We received Luis Cuende, CEO of Aragon One and cofounder of the Aragon Project. We took the time to understand how Luis first got involved with blockchain and the DAO space, going back to his connections to the open source movement. His trajectory took us from the Spanish financial crisis to his discovery of new means for finance through Bitcoin. The focus of the show was on the recent releases on the Aragon ecosystem, from Aragon 0.8 Camino, to the Aragon Design System. We also investigate possible ways to connect this DAO ecosystem to other ones through Aragon Agent. Finally, we got some updates on the Aragon Network! Tune in for all of these updates!

Luis Cuende, the CEO of Aragon One, describes the Aragon Network, how it aims to create new systems better for human coordination and the roles of the various parts of the ecosystem, such as Aragon One, the Aragon Association, the Aragon Court, Aragon Nest and the Aragon Network token. He describes the various parts of the Aragon Network, such as a finance app and voting app, how the network can be used both by decentralized organizations as well as centralized companies, and how he thinks decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) interact with real-world legal jurisdictions. We discuss how disputes are handled in Aragon, what the token, ANT, is used for, and why Aragon is contemplating building its own blockchain instead of sitting atop Ethereum, as it currently does. We also talk about how Aragon is governed, how it hopes to someday decentralize its governance and other ways Aragon can reach Cuende's ideal governance. Plus, we cover a few controversial votes in Aragon and the role of whales in such systems.  Thank you to our sponsors!

True Decentralization - Luis Cuende - ETHBerlin

Luis Cuende speaks about the inspiration for his startup Aragon, raising over $100 million in his ICO, how he plans to create a digital jurisdiction that isn't bound to the borders of a single country, how governments manipulate citizens, how he explains the need for digital worlds, which narratives inspire people to reclaim their freedom, societal challenges in the Western world, why jobs are a thing of the past, why he thinks governments should try universal basic income, how blockchains could restrict the power of governments, why he thinks borders create racism, how decentralization on blockchains could create value, the evils of social media, how decentralized systems can avoid the path of social media, why George Orwell's 1984 is real and what helped this happen, why many people have lost hope, why few digital natives understand the vision of decentralization, and many other things. Luis is the co-founder of Aragon, a project for disintermediating the creation and maintenance of companies and other organizational structures. He is also the co-founder of Stampery, an advisor to many other blockchain projects, including Decentraland, and a former advisor to the European Commission. Luis won the coding competition Hack Forward at the age of 15, and Forbes selected him as one of the 30 people under 30 in technology in Europe.

Aragon Founder Luis Cuende joined us to discuss their work on building tools for decentralized governance. We covered the origins of his deep drive, why this is a crucial fight for humanity and the tools that Aragon has built. Topics covered in this episode: How Luis became an advisor to the European Commissionas as a 16-year old Why freedom and technology became Luis’ prime obsession The origin story and vision of Aragon The risk surveillance and authoritarianism pose to humanity Why decentralized governance is the key to freedom How to think about inequality and blockchain governance Why on-chain governance makes more sense on application than protocol level AragonOS and its different applications The Aragon Network Token and potential role in a decentralized court system The road to decentralizing Aragon organizationally Episode links: Aragon Network The Aragon Manifesto Decentralized organizations can solve the world’s worst problems Aragon - The fight for freedom Video Decentralizing Aragon’s development – Aragon Decentralizing Aragon’s development II: Minimum Viable Foundation Decentralizing Aragon's development III: Onboarding new teams This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain.

Humans organize into groups. There are lots of group types: religions, corporations, national governments, state governments, citizenries, clubs, musical bands. Every group has governance. Governance defines the rules, and the ways that rules change. The United States requires citizens to pay taxes. A corporation requires you to show up to work, but they have to The post How Aragon Manages DAOs with Luis Cuende appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

This episode we talk about the current events of crypto. What was it like getting in years ago versus now?  If the prices drop 90% tomorrow, would you still be in? If the answer is no, crypto is probably not for you at this stage. Tina Penman, a healthcare researcher joins us on the roundtable to give us some perspective. In addition Luis Cuende is building Aragon because he believes decentralized organizations can solve the world’s worst problems. By making it possible for everyone in the world to organize, we are enabling a borderless, permissionless and more efficient creation of value. Ian Seyer, developer extraordinaire joins us for the interview to add another layer to our Q&A.

‘What's crazy for me is that for the first time in history we can actually try out new governance mechanisms without people dying in the streets.' The beauty of blockchain technology is in its ability to facilitate ‘bloodless wars' in which opposing sides compete without bloodshed and ultimately build a borderless world that is fair and free. Luis Cuende's interest in the blockchain began in 2011 when he was only 16 years old. After reading the Bitcoin white paper, Luis connected with others drawn to the idealistic implications of cryptocurrency and started working on blockchain pioneer Stampery, a service providing secure and decentralized proof of existence and ownership. In October of 2016, Luis co-founded Aragon, a governance platform for decentralized organizations. The project allows users to manage organizations via the blockchain with the intent of creating a fair, efficient world. It's no surprise that Luis is on the Forbes 30 Under 30 as well as MIT Technology Review's Spanish Innovators Under 35. Today Luis gets into the details of a decentralized organization, explaining its basic framework and how the governance mechanism works. We look at Aragon's IPO and discuss what other token sales can learn about transparency from the company's success. Luis offers his advice to future founders around cultivating community and his take on how a VR startup might use a decentralized organization to create a virtual world valued in tokens. We cover the valuation of crypto projects and the significance of sound technology over a curated marketing campaign. Listen in as Luis offers his profound insight on the growing popularity of cryptocurrency in Spain, fueled in part by the push for Catalonian independence.
