  4. The New DeFi Meta with Paradigm’s Head of Research, Dan Robinson

    3 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 11 min

    Afspelen
    Dan Robinson is GP and Head of Research at Paradigm. He, over the years, has done a lot of deep thinking about markets, auctions, and liquidity in DeFi, with a particular focus on Uniswap and Uniswap V3. Recently, Uniswap Labs released UniswapX, a new dutch auction mechanism, that Dan thinks changes the meta for swapping assets in DeFi, MEV, chain interoperability, and much more. Lees meer

    The last time Dan was on Bankless was September 2020…almost 3 years ago! If you have ever heard Ryan or I say the phrase “Ethereum is a dark forest”...it came from that episode.

    Every single year, EthCC gets a bit bigger, a bit more organized, and way more productive. The signal from EthCC this year was particularly strong!

    EthCC is a unique conference. It’s one of the oldest and most well-run Ethereum conferences that we have. So here we are, post-EthCC 2023. The noise of the bull market is behind us. The tourists are gone and only the settlers remain.

    So… where are we now, halfway through 2023? With EthCC offering such a strong checkpoint in the arc of Ethereum and crypto broadly, I’ve taken a moment to take stock of my main reflections and takeaways from the endless supply of conversations at EthCC 2023.

    Polygon is one of the most used chains in crypto. That in itself is a massive accomplishment. However, there’s been criticism of Polygon in the past, that it’s “just a sidechain.” That it’s not “Ethereum aligned.” The release of Polygon 2.0 will silence these critics. Tune in to understand why.

    In this episode, we delve into the frontier of AI and the challenges surrounding AI alignment. The AI / Crypto overlap at Zuzalu sparked discussions on topics like ZKML, MEV bots, and the integration of AI agents into the Ethereum landscape. Lees meer

    However, the focal point was the alignment conversation, which showcased both pessimistic and resigned optimistic perspectives. We hear from Nate Sores of MIRI, who offers a downstream view on AI risk, and Deger Turan, who emphasizes the importance of human alignment as a prerequisite for aligning AI. Their discussions touch on epistemology, individual preferences, and the potential of AI to assist in personal and societal growth.

    Avichal and Sanjay are long time crypto investors and at VC fund electric capital. What are they betting on during the bear market?

    2) AltL1s…Will the ETH killers make a comeback?

    3) Multichain world - Millions of L2 chains or a few big winners?

    4) Restaking - big deal or overhyped?

    5) What Avichal things are this cycle’s alt-coins.

    Episodes like this are an opportunity to sharpen your insights as a crypto investor. Don’t take these ideas as gospel. Wrestle with them. Test them. Make them your own. We’ll have other Bear Market Bets episodes with other perspectives, so this isn’t the last.

  20. From Lab to Life: Exploring Synthetic Biology with Drew Endy, John Cumbers, and Jennifer Holmgren

    12 juli 2023 · 1 uur 51 min

    Afspelen
    Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running. Lees meer

    Synthetic biology is a fascinating field that combines biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems. By manipulating and reprogramming the DNA of living organisms, scientists can create new functions and traits that do not occur naturally. It's like rewriting the instruction manual of life itself, similar to how we write computer code.

    In this video, you'll hear from three leaders in the synthetic biology industry—Drew Endy, John Cumbers, and Jennifer Holmgren—who will expand our understanding and imagination of this exciting field.

    Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes!

  25. Can We Fire Gary Gensler? with Rep. Warren Davidson

    4 juli 2023 · 38 min

    Afspelen
    Today's episode is with Representative Warren Davidson, an outspoken member of the U.S. Congress and an advocate for cryptocurrency. Lees meer

    In today's show, we cover:
    1) Why is Rep. Warren Davidson trying to fire Gary Gensler?
    2) What is the “SEC Stabilization Act?”
    3) Is the U.S. losing ground to Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong? How can it catch up?
    4) Does Congress care enough about crypto to do something about it? How can we change that?

    As a reminder, Bankless is not a political podcast that divides on red/blue lines. We have no party affinity in the U.S. or any other nation. What we do care about is the values of decentralization, autonomy, and power to the people that underly this crypto technology. To the extent these values are political, so are we. But they don’t divide on party lines. We’ll continue to give voice to these values no matter what political party they come from.

  28. Restaking Alignment with Vitalik, Sreeram, Tim Beiko, Justin Drake, Dankrad & Jessy

    29 juni 2023 · 1 uur 19 min

    Afspelen
    What are the implications of restaking? Not every Bankless listener will be prepared for this conversation. This one is a hard one. If you want to be adequately equipped for the conversation that awaits, we recommend listening to the Bankless episode we did with Sreeram a few weeks ago. That episode will get you up to speed to understand some of the nuances and problems that are discussed in today’s episode. Lees meer

    Because, today on the show, we have the largest and most gigabrain panel that we’ve ever had on Bankless…Vitalik Buterin, Justin Drake, Dankrad Feist, Jessy (aka 13-year-old VC - that’s her pseudonym), and of course… Sreeram Kannan himself, founder of Eigenlayer and perhaps the creator of restaking…all moderated by Tim Beiko!

    Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running. Lees meer

    In this first episode with Vitalik, we kick off by discussing the concept of Zuzalu with a birds-eye view. Vitalik helps us unravel the meta-quest of understanding the essence of Zuzalu and its role in curating communities. Discover why Zuzalu was structured in this unique manner, touching upon intriguing elements such as Zupass, zero-knowledge infrastructure, ZuPoll, and Stamps.

  37. 175 - 400M PayPal Users to Crypto with Jose Fernandez da Ponte

    12 juni 2023 · 1 uur 19 min

    Afspelen
    Can we go Bankless using PayPal? We brought on Jose Fernandez da Ponte, the Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies at PayPal and Venmo to help us answer that question. Jose is responsible for driving PayPal’s efforts to bring the utility of crypto-assets and crypto-networks to their hundreds of millions of global consumers. Lees meer

    He also knows a thing or two about how the banking system works and how to fix it. And we also got the SVP of PayPal to say, “DeFi Mullet,” not once, but three times.

    *PayPal currently offers crypto services only in the U.S., U.K., and Luxembourg. Venmo is available in the US only.
