Episode notes
Meritocracy Through On-Chain Funds
- Dominic built Alvara after being filtered out by pedigree despite strong trading experience.
- He created ERC-7621 to let performance and community ranking replace school or network bias.
How The Basket Token Standard Works
- ERC-7621 (BSKT) acts like an NFT that holds collateralized ERC-20 tokens and mints an LP ERC-20 for contributors.
- That LP token enables sub-DAOs, staking, governance, lending and unlimited protocol innovation on top.
BSKT Means Real Asset Ownership
- Each BSKT stores 100% collateralized tokens so baskets actually buy and hold underlying assets.
- That creates real DEX liquidity and buy pressure instead of off-chain or symbolic exposure.
