Stephan & Matt discuss the ‘Save Our Wallets' campaign, which aims to protect non-custodial wallets from regulatory challenges posed by the U.S. government. He highlights the legal risks developers face due to broad interpretations of regulations and the potential consequences of future administrations. The importance of advocacy for legislative change, user engagement, and improving user experience in Bitcoin transactions are emphasized. Additionally, the conversation touches on the implications of AML and FATF regulations, the evolution of wallet technologies, and the need for research into Miner Extractable Value (MEV) in Bitcoin. They also discuss various aspects of Bitcoin and Ethereum, focusing on the implications of MEV (Miner Extractable Value), the risks of mining centralization, and the importance of investing in solutions rather than relying on consensus changes. They explore the challenges posed by private order flow, the philosophical differences in Bitcoin development, and the future of Bitcoin Core and node adoption.Takeaways

For EP31 of Chain Reactions, we sat down with Bettina Sosa — one of the newest guild leads at Myosin and our DevRel whisperer — to unpack why every founder building in crypto needs to treat Developer Relations as a core part of their go-to-market motion.We trace Bettina's path from researching self-sovereign identity at Imperial College (shoutout to her Venezuelan roots and her early hopes to fix broken ID systems) to helping major DAOs like Aragon and Bankless with their onboarding UX. Along the way, she shares what it was like moving from research to shipping product, how she started writing dev-focused content to demystify EVM and MEV, and why so much DevRel in Web3 misses the mark.We go deep on what great DevRel actually looks like — beyond just hackathons and bounties — and explore everything from niche TG groups and cold outreach to AI learning tools, dev onboarding trends, and the regions everyone's sleeping on (spoiler: it's not just Asia anymore).If you're serious about growing your protocol, building developer ecosystems, or just want to understand why “just having docs” won't cut it — this one's for you.Please enjoy, and as always, don't forget to subscribe, give us a five-star review, and mint the episode at pods.media/myosinxyz!

Episode 176 Chapter 35, Live Electronic Music— Historical Practices. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 35, Live Electronic Music— Historical Practices from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC—HISTORICAL PRACTICES   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:34 00:00 1.     Karlheinz Stockhausen, “Mikrophonie I” (1964) from Mikrophonie I · Mikrophonie II.   Mikrophonist 1, Johannes Fritsch; Mikrophonist 2, Harald Bojé; Electronic Filters and Potentiometers 1, Karlheinz Stockhausen; Electronic Filters and Potentiometers 2, Hugh Davies, Jaap Spek; Tam-tam, Aloys Kontarsky; Tam-tam, Fred Alings.  Brüsseler Version 1965 recorded at WDR, Cologne. 07:24 01:42 2.     AMM, “In The Realm Of Nothing Whatever” (1966) from AMMMusic 1966.

Mbira Thumb Piano Mounted On A Ten-litre Agip Motor Oil Can, Contact Microphones, Amplified Trumpet, Voice, Alvin Curran; Amplified Glass Plate With Attached Springs, Contact Microphones, Frederic Rzewski; Homemade Synthesizer from Electronic Organ Parts, Allan Bryant; Moog Modular Synthesizer, Contact Microphones, Voice, Richard Teitelbaum; Tenor Saxophone, Ivan Vandor; Voice, Carol Plantamura. 30:45 22:26 4.     David Tudor, “Rainforest Version One” (1968) from Rainforest. Live electronics, David Tudor, Takehisa Kosugi. Used transducers to amplify objects. Recorded by Rob Miller. 21:50 53:10 5.     Karlheinz Stockhausen, “Kurzwellen” (1968), excerpt from Festival of Hits. Composed By, Mixed By, Electronics, Filters, Potentiometers, Karlheinz Stockhausen; Electronium, Harald Bojé; Tamtam, Alfred Alings, Rolf Gehlhaar; Piano, Aloys Kontarsky; Electric Viola, Johannes G. Fritsch. This is the opening of this long work, excerpted for this strange collection of greatest “hits” by Stockhausen (you had to be in 1970 to understand this). Kurzwellen is a piece where the musicians need to improvise and react to signals they receive on randomly tuned shortwave radios. This is from the Cologne recording made in the Rhenus studio in Godorf for the Cologne Radio (WDR, Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) on the 8th and 9th of April 1969 (53'30), which was record 2 of the original 2-record set. By the way, this ensemble also featured the Electronium Pi, made by Hohner beginning in 1952. It was a monophonic, electronic keyboard instrument and was an add-on instrument for the piano mounted under the keyboard, which is the model used by Stockhausen. His keyboardist, while Harald Bojé used the accordion-like model. 06:19 01:14:56 6.     The Music Improvisation Company, “Tuck” (1970) from The Music Improvisation Company. Electric Guitar, Derek Bailey; Live Electronics, Hugh Davies; Percussion, Jamie Muir; Soprano Saxophone, Evan Parker. 03:00 01:21:14 7.     David Tudor, “Rainforest IV” (1973) from Rainforest IV.  Composed in 1973 by David Tudor; performed by Composers Inside Electronics (David Tudor, Martin Kalve, Philip Edelstein, Ralph Jones, Bill Viola, John Driscoll). Recorded at the exhibition "Für Augen und Ohren - Von der Spieluhr zum akustischen (Environment (For eyes and ears - from the mechanical clock to the acoustic environment)" at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, January 1980. 25:12 01:24:24 8.     Maryanne Amacher, “"Head Rhythm 1" And "Plaything 2" (1999) from Sound Characters (Making The Third Ear). Electroacoustic composer of sound installations, best known for her incorporation of otoacoustic emissions -- sounds that seem to be emanating from inside one's own head. This track plays with that concept and sets your brain up to experience itself, so to speak. 10:04 01:49:36 9.     Caroline Park, “Grain 5” (2011) from Grain. This is a cassette release by Park, often known her for generative composition work and electronic improvisations based on parameters that she defines. Recorded, performed by Caroline Park. 09:05 01:59:32 10.   Caterina Barbieri. “This Causes Consciousness To Fracture” (2017) from Patterns Of Consciousness.  Italian composer and musician from Bologna. This album was created using analog synthesis. Barbieri has said, “In Patterns of Consciousness I was interested in exploring the power of sound on our consciousness. I wanted to explore how a pattern creates a certain state of consciousness and how the gradual transformation of that pattern can affect that state of consciousness. I believe that sound is a tool for the exploration, reconfiguration and expansion of human perceptions.” I find this to be in a similar psychological vein as the Amacher work also heard in this episode. 22:44 02:08:36 11.   Sarah Davachi, “First Cadence” (2021) from Antiphonals. Composed, recorded, performed, Mellotron (bass flute, recorder, oboe), Tape Echo, Sarah Davachi. 05:48 02:31:20 12.   Asha Tamirisa, “Live Performance,”(2023) at the Waterworks 2023: Festival of Experimental Sound.

A debate has been heating up on crypto Twitter about Real Economic Value (REV) — a metric meant to measure the value blockchains accrue from user activity. REV includes transaction fees and MEV tips, but excludes issuance — the inflationary rewards paid to validators. Some say it's the clearest window into genuine usage. Others argue it's a flawed and misleading proxy. So we brought the argument to Unchained. Tom Dunleavy, Head of Venture at Varys Capital, says fees are headed to zero, and blockchains shouldn't be valued like companies. Meanwhile, Austin Federa, Co-founder of DoubleZero, believes REV offers a real lens on activity, maturity, and demand. The conversation covers: Whether REV is a meaningful metric (and how to game it) Whether L2 tokens are fundamentally broken What happens to security when fees (and MEV) go to zero If high REV signals product-market fit or just economic noise How to value blockchains, if not with REV Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Is altseason finally here or just getting started? Michael Nadeau of the DeFi Report joins Ryan to break down the data behind a potential crypto rotation. We cover why ETH and select alts may be poised to outperform, how macro conditions are fueling risk-on sentiment, and why fundamentals—like protocol cash flows and MEV—matter more than ever. Michael also shares his current portfolio and reveals what he's buying right now. If you're positioning for what's next, this is your rotation signal.

Can encryption make Ethereum more fair?In this episode, I speak with Loring Harkness, the ecosystem lead at Shutter Network, about a crucial — and often ignored — issue: malicious MEV. Loring explains how MEV bots extract value from unsuspecting users through front-running and sandwich attacks — and how Shutter uses threshold encryption to stop it.We talk about encrypted mempools, the recent whitepaper proposing encrypted mempools for Ethereum, and how commit-and-reveal encryption is already protecting DAOs, auctions, and bounties via Shutter's API.Loring also shares his journey from building financial inclusion tools in Myanmar to becoming a passionate advocate for privacy and credible neutrality in Web3.Whether you're building a dApp, trading onchain, or want a fairer Ethereum — this episode is for you.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Intro: Sam introduces Loring Harkness and the mission behind Shutter Network [00:01:00] Origin Story: How a coup in Myanmar inspired Loring's pivot from TradFi to Web3[00:04:00] What is Shutter?: Commit-reveal threshold encryption explained [00:06:00] Understanding MEV: How front-running and sandwich attacks work [00:08:00] Shielded Trading: How Shutter encrypts transactions to blind MEV bots [00:10:00] Integrations: Shielded trading on Gnosis and plans for Ethereum mainnet [00:11:00] The Cost of MEV: Over $1.3B lost to MEV since 2020 [00:12:00] Ethereum Whitepaper: How Shutter's proposal was received[00:14:00] The Shutter API: Making commit-reveal encryption accessible to dApps [00:16:00] Game Theory: Loring's live demo using rock-paper-scissors [00:20:00] Scaling Up: How Shutter supports many use cases and transactions [00:23:00] Real-World Adoption: Shielded voting on Snapshot and Paddle Battle auctions [00:25:00] The Real Threat: Why Ethereum must align with its own values [00:27:00] Community Ask: Why users and developers must demand fairness [00:29:00] Wrap-up: Links and next steps for integrating Shutter NetworkConnecthttps://www.shutter.network/https://x.com/ShutterNetworkhttps://x.com/LoringHarknesshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/loringharkness/DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

ReardenCode discusses how we should reframe discussions around Bitcoin soft forks, explaining the capabilities-focused approach to opcodes rather than focusing solely on protocols. The conversation covers SegWit, Taproot, OP_CAT, and MEV concerns.You're listening to Bitcoin Season 2. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 7,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.comReardenCode, independent Bitcoin developer and freedom advocate, joins us to talk about reframing how we think about Bitcoin soft forks. Reardon breaks down opcodes, explains why we should focus on capabilities rather than protocols, and explores the historical context of Bitcoin's upgrades from SegWit to Taproot. The conversation goes deep on OP_CAT, CTV, and CHECKSIGFROMSTACK while but tries to make the topics approachable approachable.Follow our guests: @ReardenCodeNotes:- Bitcoin is the first digitally scarce asset- OP_CAT enables five different capabilities- SegWit enabled non-third party malleable txs- Taproot enabled hidden script paths- CTV+CSS combo enables rebindable signatures- MEV concerns can probably be scoped and managedCheck out our Bitcoin scaling conference!

In this episode I hosted Chaofan from Solayer - I learned something new about Solana validators in this episode! Dive in and learn about how Solayer scales, how it works on sandwiching, and how they view talents. Show Notes:Your background and journey to SolayerIs it possible to run the same thing on Ethereum with Solayer's approach? Compare the technical approach of Eigenlayer with Solayer?In your 2025 roadmap, why did you decide to expand from a restaking protocol to a hardware accelerated SVM Chain? How does the end user experience look like?  What other blockchains, from a technical standpoint, would you compare and contrast yourself with? Do you consider yourself an L1 or L2, or does this differentiation matter?How does Solayer push 1M TPS state sync efficiently to thousands of nodes It is mentioned that solayer made use of state of the art AI technologies in accelerating the chain. Can you tell us more about it?Users are sandwiched while trading on Solana with some losing millions of dollars. What's your view on this and how does Solayer plan to address this problem?How does this roadmap tie to the issuance and circulation of sUSD and sSOL? What's your personal take on SIMD-228? Why did you guys decide to sell 10% of your SIMD-0228 vote on Meteora?Why do you guys do quite a bit lot of “public good” works that may not necessarily directly benefit Solayer? For example trying to save the fund that 1inch's MM got hacked and in some other cases you tried to publish the details of security incidentsI saw that you are hiring a security researcher for 1MM a year. Is that real?

Consensus is slow by design.In crypto, we've accepted the tradeoff: robustness at the cost of speed. Whether it's proof-of-work or proof-of-stake, every node reprocesses every transaction, every time. It's secure and reliable... but often overkill for most of what we actually do.What if we stopped treating every transaction like a global event? What if the base layer didn't have to decide who bought a coffee first, especially when those transactions have nothing to do with each other?Pod Network offers an alternative closer to a network of local agreements, where state can move fast, stay composable, and only invoke ordering when absolutely necessary.We sat down with Shresth Agarwal at ETHDenver to talk about rethinking onchain design. If you've ever thought about the limits of blockspace, MEV, or how far we can push latency while keeping decentralization intact, this conversation is going to give you something new to think about.

Ethereum's transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake created a unique set of conditions (i.e. lack of protocol-level delegation, 32 ETH requirement, long exit queues, etc.) that led to Lido's liquid staking model to gain huge traction, significantly eclipsing other LSD providers on native PoS chains. stETH added on-demand liquidity, bypassing withdrawal windows, while also increasing DeFi utilization and increasing yields. Moreover, by allowing users to stake any amount of ETH in pools, it removed the requirement for 32 ETH increments, ultimately improving decentralisation through long tail distribution of individual stakers. Lido V3 introduces modular stVaults which enable staking customization. This allows professional actors, such as institutional stakers, to have granular control over validators, MEV and other parameters, diversifying their investment strategies.Topics covered in this episode:Hasu's backgroundDiscovering LidoLiquid staking and the early days of LidoWhy liquid staking gained traction on EthereumThe evolution of LidoInitial decentralisation concerns and the importance of dual governanceRestakingLido V3 and vaultsInstitutional staking & ETFsEthereum's ‘crisis' and its valuesEpisode links:Hasu on XLido on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

What kind of infrastructure do we actually need to support real, global trading onchain?In today's episode, we dig into the debate between high-throughput blockchains and modular approaches with Logan and Max, both vocal Solana supporters. They share why they believe monolithic scaling is the way to go, and why Solana is aiming to replace NASDAQ, not Ethereum. (Yes!)We discuss how global data synchronization at the speed of light could lead to fairer markets with tighter spreads, potentially beating traditional exchanges. We also cover MEV extraction on Solana, its evolving social layer following the Trump coin surge, and why the recent inflation reduction proposal didn't succeed.Let's dive in.Join The Rollup Edge: https://members.therollup.coWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd..Podcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+8ARkR_YZixE5YjBhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://therollup.co/the-rollup-discl

Blockchains were supposed to capture the majority of the value in crypto. But what if that's wrong? For years, the Fat Protocols Thesis argued that blockchains would be the biggest winners. But new data suggests that apps like Uniswap, Ethena, and others are now out-earning many networks. Are we watching the rise of “Fat Apps” instead? On this episode, Ryan Watkins, Co-founder at Syncracy Capital, talks about:  Why the biggest apps are generating more revenue than many layer 1s Why Ethena is launching its own blockchain What this means for Ethereum, Solana & other L1s How blockchains can compete on value capture Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Solana needs no introduction. Ever since its inception, it pushed throughput scaling on a single chain, without the need of sharding or rollups. Despite its ups and downs that culminated at the bottom of the bear market after the FTX crash, it managed to not only survive, but build a vibrant community around crypto's (arguably) most prominent PMF (thus far).Join us for a fascinating discussion and learn about Anatoly's take on controversial topics such as MEV, concurrent block leaders (the equivalent of Ethereum's PBS proposal), L2 rollups, Solana economics, how to tackle potential exploits and more.Topics covered in this episode:How the original Solana vision turned outWhat makes blockchains valuableMEV & program writable accountsConcurrent block proposersCurrent bottlenecks for scaling SolanaMainnet vs. L2 rollupsFiredancer upgradeHalting the network vs. rollbacksSolana's scaling roadmapDoubleZeroWorst hacks on SolanaUI exploits, Bybit hack and smart contract securitySolana economics and the SIMD-0228 proposalFuture improvementsUse cases for blockchainsSolana mobileEpisode links:Anatoly Yakovenko on XSolana on XSolana Mobile on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

For today's episode, we take a deep dive into native rollups.While rollups improved Ethereum's scaling, they introduced key challenges like centralized control, MEV extraction, buggy execution, and fragmented liquidity across layers.Luckily, there's a new method aiming to maintain rollup benefits while eliminating these issues.Native rollups and based sequencing offer a solution. By integrating directly with Ethereum, native rollups simplify operations and enhance security. Based sequencing lets Ethereum validators manage transaction ordering, improving L2 coordination.Teams are also considering shifting away from centralized sequencing for regulatory compliance.We sat down to chat with Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation and Fede to discuss this rapid transition and its implications for Ethereum's future as well as key insights for anyone following Ethereum's scaling evolution.Let's get into it.Join The Rollup Edge: https://members.therollup.coWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd..Podcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+8ARkR_YZixE5YjBhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://therollup.co/the-rollup-discl

Adams also discusses Uniswap v4's impact on gas efficiency and how UniChain aims to reduce MEV extraction, benefiting users and liquidity providers.  A must-listen for anyone interested in the future of DeFi scalability and cross-chain integration! ------

In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, I talk with Hadley Stern, Chief Commercial Officer at Marinade Finance, about staking on Solana, institutional DeFi adoption, and how Marinade is revolutionizing staking yields. Marinade is Solana's largest staking marketplace, managing over $2B TVL. Unlike other providers, Marinade does not run its own validators—it decentralizes Solana by automatically distributing stake across 100+ validators for maximum yield and network security.

In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, I speak with Chris Chung, co-founder of TitanDex, a DEX aggregator built on Solana. TitanDex aims to provide traders with the best swap prices by aggregating liquidity from multiple DEXs, reducing slippage, front-running, and MEV attacks.

While AMMs (automated market makers) represent a DeFi innovation in themselves, research and experimentation have pushed the possibilities well beyond the limitations of the classic x*y=k constant product formula originally used by LPs. One of the main innovators in this field remains Balancer - from multi-token pools with different weights replicating TradFi indices, to dynamic ratios that can be changed under certain conditions preventing further imbalances, Balancer set in place user protection measures. With the recent release of Balancer V3, developers get more freedom to experiment with AMMs, introducing features such as hooks that enable limitless pool customisation, boosted pools that combine LP fees with yield farming from money markets, and many more.Topics covered in this episode:Balancer's inceptionThe evolution of AMMsBalancer vs. other AMM competitorsFungible vs. non-fungible liquidityBalancer v3Boosted liquidity poolsDevEx and hooks in Balancer v3Preventing stablecoin depegsMEV mitigation & CoW AMMScaling to L2sGyroscope & QuantAMMBalancer's B2C & B2B solutionsEpisode links:Fernando Martinelli on XBalancer on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

2024 has been a transformative year for Solana. With a surge in developer activity, bold innovations in DePIN, and its ambitions to become a “decentralized Nasdaq,” the ecosystem is making waves. But are these changes enough to differentiate it from competitors like Ethereum and L2 solutions such as Base? In this episode, Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, and Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius, join Unchained to discuss how Solana is carving out its niche. They debate whether Base is a serious contender, why they're not concerned about the 2025 token unlocks, and how Solana's unique approach to MEV could shape its future. Plus, they tackle the ecosystem's broader challenges and why they believe Solana's vision will endure. Show highlights: Why Mert feels paranoid but also vindicated  Why Lily started working on Solana after being known as a hardcore bitcoiner How Mert's background in Coinbase led him to found Helius and become the voice of Solana online Whether Solana can become a place where unique innovations are built, rather than copying Ethereum Whether Solana can achieve its vision of a “decentralized Nasdaq” Why the ecosystem has attracted so many developers in 2024  Why Lily believes that Base is no competitor to Solana What network extensions actually mean, according to Mert How Mert responds to the criticisms around Solana's MEV Why Mert and Lily are not worried about the token unlocks of 2025 How the Solana mobile phone will compete with the giants Why DePIN showcases the real value of blockchain technology Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!
