Today we are chatting with Michael McGuiness, Co-founder of gm.xyz We compare the different schools of thought on building decentralized social platforms, protocols vs. apps; we also touch on how we could connect with society at large to help people understand and care about decentralization; additionally, we discuss how decentralized social can improve the way people connect in web3 and govern communities.  There has been a lot of attention recently on building decentralized social platforms, a lot of this accelerated by the recent Twitter acquisition; this conversation highlights some of the reasons why those conversations are happening, how decentralized social can improve the way we make connections, find value-alignment with communities, share content, and retain the value of the work we put into social platforms. There is always a lot to unpack.

[mini-series] The Foundations of DeSci hosted by Flowscience. 💡 #2/4: Funding, IP and Ownership 🧠 DeScientralized ~ Exploring the Social Layer of Decentralized Science   Introduction What does it mean to decentralize science? In this series, we’ll consider the fundamental aspects of science as a social activity & institution through the lens of various contributors in the DeSci space. Our goal is to facilitate an exchange of ideas between people working on solutions to these fundamental problems. The first four episodes will be published as a mini-series and lay the groundwork for future conversations. Let’s start the show. Optional background: Thomas S. Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962)   Guests Trent McConaghy: Ocean Protocol Trent focuses on claiming IP on data, accessing data, sharing and marketing it through the tools of Web3. Savva Kerdemelidis: Crowdfunded Cure Savva focuses on creating a clinical data platform that a marketplace uses to fund top arrangements. Laurence Ion: Vita DAO Lawrence focuses on impacting and breeding citizen scientists through applying scientific methods in every aspect of conceptualization. Key takeaways Creating valuable intellectual property is costly. In Medicine, a lack of effective therapy is harmful to patients. Framing creates value; rights vs. power.

Today we are chatting with Lukas of Safe, or Gnosis Safe, as it is most commonly known. Lukas started with Safe as its Product Manager, and as the project grew, he became its Co-founder.  This episode IMO is very timely. As the current state of crypto shows, we must take custody of our wallets and digital assets. Safe helps you achieve this. Our conversation compares the more common private key wallets to smart contract wallets. And the value of using the latter, which Safe offers. We explore Safe usage from an organizational perspective and retail. As most of us are probably familiar, Safe is a commonly used tool in DAOs to manage funds.  But what about using it to collect art, manage funds, and share ownership of digital assets within our families? This is what is most exciting about Safe and tools like it. They can make crypto more accessible and usable for everyone. This episode has lots to cover, so let's get started. That's a wrap! If you  want to learn more, you can follow Lukas on Twitter @ SchorLukas and Safe as @ safe  If you have gotten this far, thank you!

Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens Today we are chatting with Henry Lee, Co-founder of Noox, a platform where you collect achievement badges as soulbound NFTs and build your reputation. We briefly explore his crypto journey, starting with a Layer 1 blockchain that he helped launch focusing on interoperability, where he also worked on Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credentials. In 2021 Noox was born. Henry recalls the landscape was very much focused on NFTs then, with a few projects using transaction history to reward users, gate communities, and provide airdrops.  The vision of NOOX was to add more context to understand users in a more high-dimensional manner and evolve user tiering. They set out to find a way to contextualize user interactions and transaction data. While the MVP looked very different than today's product, the vision was always the same: to enable data as a composable piece of the web3 ecosystem.   If you want to learn more about Henry, you can follow him on Twitter @ hihenrylee and Noox @ noox_world      Thanks for listening to Crypto Sapiens.  If you enjoyed this conversation, please don't forget to like and subscribe wherever you are listening to this podcast.  You can also find more conversations like this one on our website @ cryptosapiens.xyz.  Until next time, stay brainy.

Today we are talking with David Phelps, co-creator of JokeDAO, EcoDAO, and Cowfund. He's also a writer and steward at Gitcoin. David has often been interviewed about jokeDAO, so we skip much of that discussion and instead cover a wide range of topics, including DAO culture, 100xing Twitter, web3 memes, and collaborative creation. On that last one, David later tweeted that one mistake of 2021 was assuming that co-purchasing creates communities; no relationship works like that. Instead, you play board games, sing karaoke together, share life stories, cry, laugh, and say you love each other. And that's what DAOs need. There is so much to unpack in this conversation, so let's get started. If you want to learn more about David and the projects he is building, you can follow him on Twitter @ divine_economy where you can also find the link to his blog.

Welcome  to Crypto Sapiens Network Sponsored by Otterspace. Today we are talking with Tony Herrera, Founder of PaisanoDAO and member of Neon DAO, ReadyPlayerDAO, and WAGMI United. Tony talks about his background as an immigrant activist and how working in that field led him to discover Bitcoin and, eventually, Ethereum. He also shares his early interest in DAOs as an ICO investor in Aragon.  Anyone who knows Tony knows that he has long been onboarding new people to web3 and that ENS domains have long played a big part in it. He often gives ENS domains as a way to make crypto more fun and accessible. Furthermore, he shares other tools he uses for onboarding: Metamask and Ethereum. While these probably are not what most people would think of first, he sees the importance of helping people understand how these work to have a good foundation from which to continue learning. Tony founded PaisanoDAO to engage underrepresented communities, particularly women and people of color. He classified it as an impact DAO. PaisanoDAO often hosts workshops and other educational events, including two regular series on Twitter Spaces: NFTs in Español and Frecuensia Paisana.  It was important to Tony that the DAO would not grow dependent on him, so he stepped away early. Now the DAO is in the hands of core contributors who continue to nurture the values and mission developed with Tony. He says We must build DAOs whose message and mission resonate with their community. There is a lot to unpack in this episode. So let's get started. That's a wrap. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Tony.  If you'd like to connect with Tony, you can find him on Twitter @tonyherrera  And to learn more about PaisanoDAO, go to paisanodao.xyz and on Twitter at @ paisanodao As a final note, this episode is the final recording from our LIVE events hosted on Twitter Spaces. Future episodes will include videos and be released on YouTube and other social channels. I hope you will continue to listen and enjoy these thoughtful discussions. We’re thrilled to be sponsored by Otterspace who are busy making Web3 less financialized. Their protocol and app let communities build and issue badges to members to represent things like levels, roles, achievements, membership, and skills. We’re excited about badges because they are earned, not bought. They are non-tradable coordination primitive for communities. You can use badges for governance in Snapshot, token gating with Guild, and you can build your own custom extensions with their composable tools.

Hello, and welcome back to Crypto Sapiens Podcast Sponsored by Otterspace. Today we are talking with Nelson, Co-founder of Avenue.  We start by discussing the tools that DAOs use, specifically Discord, and some of the challenges presented by them. Nelson says tools force behaviors on us. So, if we use the wrong tools, we will inevitably also use the wrong behaviors. He continues that their tools are currently informing DAO behavior. We dig deeper into contributor behavior and find that they are not discovering what they can do but are limited by predefined roles, work, and channels.  Nelson adds we should instead build the right tools for people to suggest their work. We continue by exploring the three Cs that Nelson says are important in DAOs: context, coordination, and collaboration. And the role each plays in creating empowered contributors   If you'd like to connect with Nelson, you can find him on Twitter @ nelsontjordan.  https://twitter.com/nelsontjordan And to learn more about Avenue, go to avenue.place and on Twitter at @ avenueplace. https://twitter.com/avenueplace   -- We’re thrilled to be sponsored by Otterspace who are busy making Web3 less financialized.
