Episode notes

The speakers discuss the concept of token issuance as a cost in blockchain protocols and highlight the expenses involved in proof of work and proof of stake systems. They also explore the relationship between fees, issuance of new tokens, and the staking behavior of network participants, emphasizing the importance of understanding the economic sustainability of different ecosystems.

In this week's analyst table Dan and Sam are joined by Blockworks research analysts EffortCapital and Westie. In this week's news round-up the analysts cover Uniswap foundation's funding request of $62m, Arbitrum grants program "STIPs", and dYdX $20m incentives on V4. The team also covers this week's top mover MakerDAO and biggest loser $OX. To finish out today's show the team takes the gloves off and unpacks whether token issuance is a cost to PoS networks.
