Web3 Founders: The Origins

Welcome to the Crypto Sapiens podcast! In this episode, we explore the origins and stories of some of the most innovative and visionary Web3 founders including Chris Castig of Console, Evin of Disco, Dan Romero of Farcaster, Perchy of Chippi NFT, Alex Salnikov of Rarible and Frogmonkee. In this episode, we'll take a deep dive into the personal and professional backgrounds of these trailblazers, and discover how their experiences shaped their journey towards building decentralized technologies. As the saying goes, "every giant has beginnings," and the Web3 movement is no exception. The founders of Web3 are a diverse group of individuals who come from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. However, what they all share is a vision for a decentralized future that empowers individuals, rather than centralized institutions. Before diving into the world of Web3, many of these founders had already made significant contributions to various industries, such as finance, technology, and academia. Their experiences and expertise in these fields helped shape their understanding of the limitations of centralized systems, and the potential of decentralized technology. Through their stories, we'll discover the pivotal moments that led these founders to explore decentralized technology, and how they began to envision a future that was built on Web3 principles. We'll explore their personal and professional journeys, and how their backgrounds and experiences have helped shape their vision for a more decentralized world. —--------- This episode features the following founders: Chris Castig https://twitter.com/castig  - Console https://twitter.com/consoledao  Evin https://twitter.com/provenauthority  -  Disco https://twitter.com/discoxyz  Dan Romero https://twitter.com/dwr  -  Farcaster https://twitter.com/farcaster_xyz  Perchy https://twitter.com/TheFutureisDAO1  -  Chippi NFT https://twitter.com/chippinft  Alex Salnikov https://twitter.com/insider0x  -  Rarible  https://twitter.com/rarible  Frogmonkee https://twitter.com/frogmonkee  —-------   Whatever platform you listen to Crypto Sapiens on, please make sure you like, subscribe and give us a review.

What Inspires Web3 Founders and Builders

This episode features snippets of inspiration as we explore what inspired today's builders and leaders of web3 and web3 communities during their crypto journey and what motivates these pioneers to build innovative products and services in the rapidly evolving world of decentralized technology. Dan Romero reflects on his journey and how the internet provided an ungated space to create and publish content while growing an audience for minimal money or effort.  Lukas shares how the vibrant and dynamic community on Crypto Twitter, where ideas are shared and debated in real time, inspired how this leads to new collaborations and innovations.  Mike McGuiness, Chris Castig, and David Phelps are all inspired by the social visionary Balaji Srinivasan's transparent work on the Network State. Along with his revolutionary ideas of the impact crypto will have in the future of society.  Vikram shares his vision of not living with regrets and how hearing years previously from Jeff Bezos has motivated him in everything that he has done.  Zach Anderson shared being inspired by thinkers that work to open up different paradigms and systems. Alex Salnikov shares the powerful impact Vitalik Buterin had on his journey and how reading Ethereum Whitepaper and the revolutionary foundation it set for decentralized finance and web3 technology.  Perchy shares how friends have directly influenced his journey, leading him to where he is today.  David Phelps also shares how creating community relationships impacted his journey, noting how deep dives into economics, economic theory, and macroeconomics not only inspired a realization of the decline of US Power and the decline in the US dollar but built the foundation for friendship. Friendships flourished over debates on the next global order, paving the path down the rabbit hole. This particular trip down the rabbit hole not only provoked higher level questions like, What if the next global empire isn't a psychical nation-state? What if the internet is the next Global state? But it also formed a lifelong friendship in the process.  Alex Poon reflects on his experience with the alliance accelerator and the generosity and understanding within his network. Erin McMullen reflects on women that she has met while creating a welcoming space for female and those that identify as non-binary. Philip Silva notes Bitcoin and our very own Humpty Calderon as inspiration throughout his journey.

DAOlens | Improving the contributor journey in DAOs w/ Vikram Aditya, Co-founder, DAOlens

In this episode of Crypto Sapiens, host Humpty Calderon delves into the topic of onboarding new contributors into decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) with Vikram, the Co-founder and CEO of DAOLens. The conversation begins with Humpty expressing his concerns about the complex and often convoluted process of joining a DAO, which can involve a series of challenging steps, from buying a token and gaining access to private servers on Discord, to navigating through various channels and introducing oneself to strangers. Vikram highlights the importance of creating a welcoming onboarding journey for new members, which sets them up for success and ensures that they can contribute in a meaningful way to the DAO. He proposes the idea of composable experiences, which are designed to be flexible and allow members to unlock new experiences as they earn reputation. Vikram suggests that DAOs could create unique experiences by building a protocol that enables members to "build their own journeys" and contribute in a way that suits them best. Humpty adds to the conversation by sharing a recent example of a DAO that launched its own app, which provides a more unified experience for its members. He notes that the next step would be to create these apps on a base protocol, to make these experiences more accessible and interoperable across various DAOs. Overall, this episode of Crypto Sapiens offers valuable insights on how DAOs can create a more inclusive and engaging experience for their members. The discussion explores the potential of composable experiences and base protocols, highlighting the need to make the onboarding journey as simple and welcoming as possible. Whether you are a seasoned crypto enthusiast or new to the world of DAOs, this episode is sure to provide valuable insights into the future of decentralized organizations.   To learn more about Vikram Aditya and DAOlens, you can follow them on Twitter @viks_rum  and @DaoLens  respectively.

Chippi NFT | Signaling Commitment in Digital Communities with Perchy

Today we are chatting with Perchy, Founder and creator of Chippi NFTs. We look at the project's genesis in Season 0 of Bankless DAO. And learn that this initiative was Perchy's way of documenting his journey at Bankless DAO. This is a crucial takeaway because it shows how any contribution to a DAO, whether small or personal, can take a life of its own and build a strong community around it. Chippis are non-generative NFTs limited to 500 pieces tied together by an adorable and familiar character. Every Chippi is hand drawn by Perchy. In our conversation, we also touch on building a brand, signaling your commitment to a community, and creating a layered metaverse with your NFTs.

Rarible| Empowering NFT creators with no-code tools w/ Alex Salnikov, Co-founder of Rarible.

Today we are chatting with Alex Salnikov, Co-founder of Rarible. We learn about the early days of Rarible, starting with the launch of their easy-to-use NFT minting platform that allowed anyone to create them. Alex says, at that time, you either had to be a developer or be vetted by the marketplace to mint NFTs. Throughout my conversation with Alex, I realize this consideration for accessibility drives a lot of their innovations. This has inspired it to become a first-of-its-kind aggregated marketplace for Ethereum NFTs and, more recently, to launch community marketplaces. This last one seems to have resonated with many popular collections and creators who launched marketplaces powered by Rarible. As always, there are lots to unpack here, so let’s get started.   -   - - And please remember to like and subscribe wherever you listen to this podcast.

Re-architecting the internet around the individual with Evin McMullen, Co-Founder & CEO of Disco

Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens.   Today we are chatting with Evin McMullen, Co-founder of Disco. In our conversation, we look back at young Evin, presenting to her parents about the fair use statute and why her use of platforms like Napster and Limewire constituted an educational, non-commercial use case. Her fascination with data freedoms, creative commons and MIT licenses continued in her undergraduate studies, where she worked with professors and fell deeper into the rabbit hole of identities across different digital platforms.  Evin has tons of experience in web3, including almost five years at Consensys, where she worked on Ethereum ecosystem development and where, as she says, "she solidified a lot of the ideas she has and philosophies that she holds about identities as they can exist in web3." Anyone who has met Evin knows she isn't just brilliant but capable of breaking down complex subjects into fun, accessible bits, and this interview is no different.  We talk about surveillance capitalism, self-sovereign identities, self-custody of our traits beyond financial data, selective disclosure, and so much more.     To learn more about Evin and Disco, you can follow them on Twitter @ provenauthority and disco.xyz, respectively.

Decentralized Web Sharing with Chris Castig, Co-founder of Console

On today's episode, we are with Chris Castig, Co-founder of Console. We start with an exploration of Chris' crypto journey, which began when he learned of Napster (the p2p file sharing application) and soon after Bitcoin. As a musician, he then describes those innovative technologies as inspirational in his decision to study new media, specifically distributed systems culture. Furthermore, Chris is extending those values with Console, a community chat app where you own your identity, data and decentralized chat. Additionally, it uses Signal-level protocol to protect your privacy on the app. Beyond self-sovereignty and privacy, Console seeks to reduce the noise from apps like Telegram and Discord to provide a better experience for DAOs and web3 communities. And it is now in closed beta to co-build with the district. As always, lots to unpack here, so let's get started.

Mini Series : Dejourno 4 by EurekaJohn | Web3 Incentivizing Journalism as a Public Good

Mini Series : Dejourno 3 by EurekaJohn.  In this episode, we focus on funding and journalism as a public good.  We start by defining the definition of a public good.  Then we explore ad-driven revenue and how it affects the algorithms in journalism.  What are some tools we can use to help incentivize journalists to work outside of the ad model?  We want to build tools for journalists that are as pure and untainted by financial and business interests as possible, but we can envision ways that some of those tools might be spun out and adapted for non-journalism commercial ventures.  We explore how communities can use web3 to build their own decentralized, community-owned, not ad-driven, news outlets.  In the long run, we're interested in experimenting with whole new business models for journalism, and for rebuilding communities in news deserts. This is a little more abstract, but we can envision a role for investors to build some of the base layer tools that will enable this process without interfering in the editorial process.   Guests: Keith Axline - @kaxline - JournoDAO, Republic.io Crystal Street - @cstreet - JournoDAO Eric Mack - @ericcmack - JournoDAO Spencer - @clinamenic - JournoDAO Humpty Calderon - @humptycalderon - Crypto Sapiens, Orange Protocol
