Episode notes

The chapter delves into the evolution of a research program focused on exploring protocols, shifting from traditional R&D environments to a decentralized approach. It highlights the work of 12 core researchers investigating topics like protocol death, safety protocols evolution, and digital structures. The discussion navigates through the concept of digital death, protocol development, and the significance of preserving digital worlds.

Welcome Bankless Nation, to the Summer of Protocols!|

Summer of Protocols is an ongoing research and evangelism effort that aims to catalyze broad interest in the study of protocols as a first-class concept for thinking about the world.

To explain a little more about what Summer of Protocols is all about, we brought Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation and Venkat Rao of the Ribbonfarm blog on the podcast. Additionally, this episode contains three short interviews with three of the 35 total Summer of Protocols researchers.

You’re going to experience something a little different here on the show today. Some more storytelling, a different kind of frontier exploration, but all around the idea of protocols.
