On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, about how to take crypto to the mainstream, strategies for building for longevity, and Luca shares some alpha on the biggest mistake crypto founders make that results in the demise of their project.Pudgy Penguins is an NFT pfp project on Ethereum that was launched in July 2021 and purchased by Luca in April 2022 for 750 ETH, or around $2.5M USD.Pudgy Penguins is really the only NFT project to have reached the mainstream in any meaningful way, with their figurines and plushies now being sold in Walmart stores across the country. They’ll also be debuting a couple of new things they’ve been working on soon, namely Overpass and Pudgy World, which Luca shares more about in this episode.If you’re a Pudgy Penguins holder, you will love this episode, and if you work in crypto in any capacity, you’ll be able to learn something new from Luca that you can put into practice straight away to help you find success in this industry.  COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenLuca: https://twitter.com/LucaNetzPudgy Penguins: https://twitter.com/pudgypenguins LINKSPudgy World: https://lobby.pudgyworld.com/Overpass: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pudgy-penguins-ceo-unveils-licensing-140922249.htmlShark suit: https://x.com/pudgypenguins/status/1671987835518480386?s=20 TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:55 Why did Luca bid on Pudgy Penguins for $2.5M?5:26 Necessary ingredients for success12:19 Growing an existing community vs building a new community17:38 How to maintain culture through a bull run23:57 Why toys?26:54 Are toys crypto native?31:11 Luca’s advice for NFT projects35:43 Updates on Overpass and Pudgy World39:02 How to license your Pudgy Penguins NFT43:05 Pudgy Penguins rapid fire43:27 Luca’s top 5 NFT projects to keep an eye on44:58 How Luca crypto pills his offchain friends46:06 Follow Luca DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Ethereum OG, Hudson Jameson, about his experiences and learnings from actively working in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015, as well as his personal story of experiencing burnout and his journey with mental health.Hudson is a developer who first learned about Bitcoin in 2011 and went on to create and launch the blockchain program at USAA in 2014 and join the Ethereum Foundation in 2016, where he worked until 2021. In 2019 while working at the Ethereum Foundation, Hudson also co-founded the Ethereum Cat Herders, an educational platform and research hub that supports the Ethereum Network.In this episode, we start off by talking about some of Hudson’s learnings from his time in Ethereum, including what he believes to have been the most pivotal moment in Ethereum history, how the community and culture around Ethereum has changed since 2015, and the biggest learnings from mistakes made during Ethereum’s time that other blockchains or crypto projects can learn from today.We then get into his takes on the current state of Ethereum and L2s, how he sees L2s interacting in the future, and a new whistleblowing use case for blockchain tech that he would love to see get built out.Finally, we wrap up with a conversation on dealing with burnout in crypto as Hudson shares his own burnout story that landed him in a mental hospital twice and inspired him to get much more involved in his own mental health journey. It’s a story that is all too relatable to those working in crypto, and Hudson shares his honest and raw thoughts on what we can do to protect our mental health while working in crypto, as well as what institutions and employers can do to support individuals. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenHudson: https://twitter.com/hudsonjameson LINKSHudson’s blog: https://hudsonjameson.com/The Infinite Machine by Cami Russo: https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Machine-Crypto-hackers-Building-Internet-ebook/dp/B07X8HS2WCThe Cryptopians by Laura Shin: https://www.amazon.com/Cryptopians-Idealism-Greed-Making-Cryptocurrency-ebook/dp/B08Y8MQ66ZBlog on what “Ethereum alignment” means: https://hackmd.io/@abdelhamid/ethereum-alignmentDEVCON: https://devcon.org/en/The Plasma Paper (2017): https://www.plasma.io/plasma.pdfSEAL project updates: https://twitter.com/samczsun TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:19 Hudson’s favorite things4:53 Most pivotal moments in Ethereum history5:38 Biggest mistake in Ethereum history9:55 How culture and community in Ethereum has changed since 201516:00 What does “Ethereum alignment” mean?18:08 Most overlooked aspect of Ethereum19:53 Hudson’s most fond memory of his time at the Ethereum Foundation22:07 Technical knowledge that non-technical people should have25:14 Hudson’s product review of Ethereum26:27 State of L2s32:19 Whistleblowing blockchain app34:37 Hudson’s mental health journey and burnout story40:30 How to avoid burnout in crypto46:29 How crypto companies can support their employees’ mental health52:06 Hudson’s final thoughts54:15 Question from the community56:00 Follow Hudson DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with María Paula Fernández, co-founder of JPG and a true OG in the NFT space, about living through another bear market, how to be a good web3 art curator, and new blockchain art projects that should be on your radar.We catch up on what MP's been up to since our last recording together and how she’s been feeling amidst yet another crypto bear market - and notably one that feels different from previous bear markets she’s lived through. Even though overall sentiments are a bit low, I can always rely on Maria to bring some humor into the mix, as we come to the shocking realization that Michael Lewis is in fact the new Tom Cruise (tune into this episode and you’ll hear what I mean).We then dive deep into the world of art curation and what the role of a curator is, especially in the web3 world. MP believes a good web3 curator is a good storyteller and a good educator, and we look at a new JPG exhibit, Generative Art Beyond the Algorithm, as an example of good curation. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenMP: https://twitter.com/MPtherealmvpJPG: https://twitter.com/______jpg______ LINKSSeptember 2021 interview with María Paula on The Unstoppable Podcast: https://youtu.be/EuhPFMecezYS4 E6 | Art You Can’t See w/Sarah Meyhoas & Mitchell Chan: https://rehash.mirror.xyz/-aihBv_hJwt8iWd91XubvPMs_GQxt4sX2GUAWW-hCKkWeb by Jan Robert Leegte: https://web.leegte.org/Stevie P: https://steviep.xyz/Sacra Famiglia by Ann Hirsch: https://www.sacra.family/Dear Scammer by Ann Hirsch: https://www.hiddengems.fyi/p/dear-scammer-letters-by-ann-hirschThe Boys of Summer by Mitchell Chan: https://chan.gallery/boysofsummer/Bitchcoin by Sarah Meyohas: https://sarahmeyohas.com/bitchcoin/Crypto Certs by Ed Fornieles: https://www.edfornielesstudios.com/GALLERY: https://twitter.com/GALLERYGenerative Art Beyond the Algorithm: https://naturalstatic.jpg.space/exhibitionNatural Static: https://naturalstatic.jpg.space/Social Contracts: https://socialcontracts.jpg.space/ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro4:32 How MP stays up to date on SBF drama8:32 Is there still too much toxic positivity in crypto?13:45 What successful NFT projects all have in common15:56 MP’s favorite NFT projects19:20 Market Makers event in Berlin26:06 What makes a good web3 art NFT curator?37:51 Generative Art Beyond the Algorithm41:26 Natural Static by Jonathan Chomko47:03 Where MP sees NFTs being in 10 years49:22 MP’s favorite crypto drama51:49 Follow MP DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Steph Alinsug, founder of VESSEL, the launchpad for onchain media. We talk about what onchain media is, how we can rethink advertising, and what companies can do with more relevant information on their users.Steph is one of the few repeat guests we’ve had on Rehash. The first time she was on the podcast was almost exactly one year ago in November of last year, and you can listen to Rehash S3 E10 for more context on her thinking around how web3 media has evolved over the last year.As it turns out, onchain media refers to so much more than simply putting pieces of media onchain, and its effects can be seen and felt across a wide berth of marketing, advertising, and branding initiatives for individual creators and large corporations alike.Steph challenges us to rethink what we know about advertising and keep an open mind to new, value additive forms of advertising that can actually benefit consumers instead of the value extractive forms of advertising we’ve all grown to know and not love. She paints a picture of what the marketing stack could look like for companies in the future and the ways in which onchain media can help companies better understand their customers so that they can, in turn, provide more targeted value to their most loyal supporters.If you work in the marketing space or if you’re a creator or founder, you won’t want to miss this episode as you’ll learn a lot of innovative concepts to help you rethink your brand and marketing strategy. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenSteph: https://twitter.com/cryptohun3yVESSEL: https://twitter.com/onvessel_world LINKSS3 E10 w/Steph Alinsug: https://youtu.be/Hgix7aBdgOk?si=_fBzKKwqrtYPdWkQThinx Ad: https://s3.r29static.com/bin/entry/d4c/640x427,85/1493957/image.webpOnchain Summer: https://onchainsummer.xyz/Lens: https://twitter.com/LensProtocolFarcaster: https://twitter.com/farcaster_xyzThe Box (Decent): https://www.decent.xyz/ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:11 How Steph’s thinking around web3 media has evolved over the last year3:48 What is onchain media?4:25 Why would media need to be onchain?9:55 How Glossier could benefit from onchain media12:06 How onchain media can benefit podcasters13:15 Onchain advertising18:10 Twitter question from Rob (Ambire)21:24 Future of onchain media26:32 How to achieve our ideal media future30:51 Everything you need to know about VESSEL37:31 How Steph crypto pills her friends and family40:43 Follow Steph and VESSEL DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Laura Jaramillo, CEO and co-founder of SONA, about helping artists build a more sustainable revenue, designing fail proof protocol incentives, and using music to onboard the next billion users to crypto. Like many of us, Laura’s journey into crypto was a winding one with many seemingly mismatched pieces that somehow all came together and are contributing to her work at SONA today. After turning down a deal from a major record label at age 16 to become the next Shakira, Laura decided to pursue furniture design at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), which eventually led her into product and protocol design and designing what is now SONA, a platform to help musicians monetize their music in a different way. We do a couple of deep dives in this episode - the first one on how to build a sustainable revenue for artists by implementing crypto and DeFi primitives into a music streaming service, and the second on how to design the most effective incentives for a protocol that’s resistant to spam bots and token miners.We also talk about her new project, SONA, the super random way in which she met her co-founder, TOKiMONSTA, and Laura and Diana have a full circle moment when Diana realizes that a party she had attended almost a year ago during Art Basel was in fact a party put on by Laura and TOKiMONSTA to celebrate one year of their meeting and the birth of SONA.If you’re a musician or creator or any kind, or if you have any interest in the creator economy from any angle, you’ll want to listen to this episode.

On our first episode of Season 6, we have the privilege of speaking with Maz and Eiman, co-founders of Crowdmuse, a platform for multiplayer collaboration on fashion drops and digital IP rights.Maz and Eiman explain what digiphysical goods are, not just in the context of fashion, but as it relates to any physical item with a digital counterpart, or vice versa. They do an excellent job of explaining what the benefits are for digital goods to have a physical counterpart, why we might need certain products to be stored on the blockchain, and how onchain IP works.That naturally led into a conversation about consumer crypto because not only is that what all the VCs are talking about nowadays, but digiphysical goods also live primarily in the consumer space. Maz and Eiman talk about how onchain consumer products will change the way we view identity, community, and brands and whether we should expect to see digiphysical goods permeating into all industries, not just the entertainment and consumer space as we’ve seen it to date.Finally, Maz and Eiman give us an insider look into Crowdmuse, and Eiman answers a spicy question from the community. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenMaz: https://twitter.com/mmazcoEiman: https://twitter.com/eimsolimanCrowdmuse: https://twitter.com/crowdmuse LINKSCrowdmuse Whitepaper v1Crowdmuse ResourcesMetafactoryMetaBirkins/Hermes LawsuitFashion IP PrecedentsSeed ClubSlow RodeoJaya (for privacy content)Nym ProjectMultiplayer Creation Report by 1kx100 True Fans by Li Jin TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:29 Rehash community governance3:32 What are digiphysical goods?5:55 How do digital and physical items link together?7:48 How do onchain goods differ from offchain digital goods?11:10 What is onchain IP and how does it work?25:08 Why is consumer crypto all the rage now?33:21 How will onchain consumer products change the way we view identity, community, and brands?37:04 Challenges that digiphysical goods face43:08 Origin story of Crowdmuse47:05 Future plans for Crowdmuse51:47 Who Maz wants to hear on the podcast next season52:36 Eiman’s favorite crypto drama54:48 Follow Maz and Eiman DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

Season 6 of Rehash: A Web3 Podcast starts on Thursday, October 5, 2023 with new episodes every Thursday until December 21, 2023.Season 6 will be pretty heavily focused on consumer crypto and creators, with a couple of more technical episodes sprinkled in there as well. Some names you might recognize are Luca Netz from Pudgy Penguins, Steph Alinsug, a repeat guest who’s now working on a new project called VESSEL, Maz and Eiman from Crowdmuse, and Hudson Jameson, a true Ethereum OG.You can find the full guest list in our pinned post on Twitter @rehashweb3. FOLLOW US:Rehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchen SUBSCRIBE:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rehash-a-web3-podcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ih4vN6lXKh4jt7VQYfjva SEASON 6 SPONSORS: Quests: https://quests.com/Lore: https://lore.xyz/ LINKS:Website: https://rehashweb3.xyzSubstack: https://rehashweb3.substack.comMirror: https://rehash.mirror.xyzLenstube: https://lenstube.xyz/channel/rehash.lensTwitter: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Instagram: https://instagram.com/rehashweb3TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@rehashweb3Discord: https://discord.gg/9mrS8PmRh4 DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On our final episode of Season 5, we’re speaking with Raz about a variety of topics ranging from building games for his siblings as a child to starting his own business at age 14 to forming anonymous relationships online and so much more. Raz is the CEO and co-founder of Guild, a membership management tool that helps you automate requirements, roles, and rewards for your community.We start off by talking about Raz’s childhood - how he learned to program at the young age of 6 or 7, how he grew up designing board games for his younger siblings because he wasn’t allowed very much screen time to play the computer games he wanted to play, and how his love of all things games - the strategy, the lore, the escape into an alternative universe - all impacted his future decisions and successes as an investor and builder.Raz made it big back in DeFi summer of 2020 and shares some of his best investment tips with us, like how to identify entry and exit points and how to stay objective in this space. He talks about how investing has helped him become a better builder and some of the things he’s still learning as a successful founder today.We then get into a conversation around DAOs, how he defines what constitutes a DAO, and whether he thinks DAOs have peaked yet. I ask him about how Guild has been able to strike such a good balance between being a well organized successful company while running on a relatively very flat organizational structure and championing a lot of the ethos of DAO organization that typically tends to lead to chaos, and he attributes a lot of that to the thinking and work of his brother and co-founder, Bruno, who we’ll hopefully get on the podcast next season.This was the perfect episode to end the season on and definitely one of my personal favorites. And I know I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but the fact is this season was probably my favorite one yet. It’s so inspiring to me that even in the midst of a bear market where sentiments around crypto and web3 are so low that there are still so many bright minds that are still so dedicated to building and furthering the potential that crypto and blockchain can have on the future of the internet.We’ll be starting our next round of guest nominations and voting in a little over a week, so make sure you’re following us on Twitter @rehashweb3 or join our Discord community so you can stay up to date on all the happenings around that.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Yancey Strickler about the problems he sees with the creator economy and why onchain release clubs are a better framing for creative and collaborative work, and we discuss what a post-capitalist world might look like. Yancey is the co-founder of Metalabel and Kickstarter. We start by envisioning what a post-capitalist world might look like and discussing how practical this model is in the world as we know it today. A lot of this part of the conversation stems from an article he wrote back in 2019 called Post-Capitalism for Realists, as well as his book, This Could Be Our Future.We more or less agree that while it sounds really nice and idyllic to live in a world where we can all pursue our passions and fully live out our values without worrying about how we’re going to make money from everything we do, the reality is that we all need money to survive, and things are expensive, and it’s therefore an unavoidable part of life (at least in the U.S. and western world) to consider how your passions or objectives can be monetized and to dispense with activities that don’t monetize or at least spend a much smaller amount of your time on non-profit generating activities.From there, we dive deeper into a conversation around the creator economy - a term that Yancey actually isn’t too fond of, and he explains why in this episode. He prefers to use a framing more analogous to release clubs or labels when thinking about creator collaboration and co-creation.Even though the creator economy is probably one of our most talked about topics on this season of Rehash, I really appreciate that each of our guests has brought a different perspective to the table. The lens through which Yancey views the creator economy is certainly a unique one, and I’d love to hear what you think after listening to this episode.Come find us on Twitter or Discord, or write us at rehashweb3@gmail.com and let us know what you think the future of the creator economy will look like.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Thomas Scaria, co-founder and CEO of one of our sponsors this season, Lore, about the intersection of the crypto economy and the creator economy, why now is not the time to dismiss consumer crypto, and social experiences that can only be enabled by crypto.As you’ve probably heard me say in past episodes, Lore is the co-ownership platform where you can seamlessly spin up a shared wallet, pool resources, coordinate group activity, etc which all probably sounds a bit vague and abstract.That’s why I’m so glad we have an entire episode to hear more about some of the use cases Lore enables as well as some of the thinking that inspired Thomas to create Lore.As we get deeper into our conversation about where the crypto economy meets the creator economy, Thomas weaves in concepts around gaming and financialization into our conversation around creators - topics you don’t usually hear talked about in the same sentence. It really just goes to show how interconnected all of these topics are and how multidisciplinary the web3 space has become.We also dive into a conversation around consumer crypto, an area that has become somewhat neglected and almost dismissed by investors during the bear market. Having been actively involved in the consumer crypto space since 2018, Thomas brings an insightful and fresh perspective on why now is not the time to dismiss consumer crypto but rather to embrace it from a particular lens. Thomas does a great job in this episode of illustrating concepts he discusses with real life examples, so you’ll find a pretty long list of projects in the links section below.  COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenTom: https://twitter.com/tomscariaLore: https://lore.xyz/rehash SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzLore: https://lore.xyz/rehashQuests: https://rehash.quests.comLivepeer: https://livepeer.org LINKSTK on Sound.xyzSpirit DAONouns DAOMemelandStoryverseKiguDAODead Birds SocietyIntroducing Lore Blog Post TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro3:53 Web3 as a new socioeconomic rails6:22 Where crypto economy and creator economy intersect11:02 Brand building in web2 vs web319:09 Context in DAO governance21:13 Why consumer crypto is important in a bear market25:33 Financial entertainment30:20 Web3 social35:10 Thomas’ advice to founders building in consumer crypto39:34 Use cases for Lore45:26 Explain Your Tweet50:39 Alpha leak DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal and Policy Officer at Polygon Labs, about the current state of crypto regulation around the world.This is the first legal and policy focused conversation we’ve had on Rehash in over a year - the last conversation we had on crypto regulation was with Katherine Wu from Archetype and Crypto Council for Innovation all the way back in Season 2. The main difference I wanted to touch on in this episode (other than just getting a more current take on where crypto regulation currently stands) is getting a more global perspective on how different countries or regions of the world are looking at crypto. Rebecca talks about key pieces of crypto legislation like MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) in the EU and FIT (Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act) in the US and shares her perspectives on which countries have the most crypto friendly policies.We focus most of the conversation on crypto policy, but we do chat a bit on the legal front as well. Rebecca talks about some key court cases we’ve seen recently in the U.S., such as the Coinbase case, and shares her take on what she believes the SEC’s strategy is and what that means for us as people building and working in the industry.Finally we wrap up with some spicy questions from our community, like how to stay out of jail as someone building in web3 or whether crypto will ever succeed in the U.S.Rebecca was nominated by Carsten and voted onto the podcast by Justin Conley, Katelyn Donnelly, Zayi Reyes, Meg Lister, Aaron Soskin, David Silverman, anon, and Carsten.COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenRebecca: https://twitter.com/RebeccaRettig1TheValueProp: https://thevalueprop.io/ SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzLivepeer: https://livepeer.org LINKSMarkets in Crypto Assets (MiCA)Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT)Crypto435TheValuePropGet involved in policy: Email policy@polygon.technology TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro4:00 The shift from legal to policy7:43 Infrastructure provider vs dapp provider9:29 Non-financial use cases for crypto10:02 High level overview of global crypto policy14:49 Government 101 (US)19:12 What is the SEC’s strategy?20:39 People used to hate telephones20:51 SEC’s lawsuit against Coinbase24:57 What will happen to DAOs and NFT projects without legal protections?26:36 Best advice for DAOs29:20 Will the US ever embrace crypto?30:56 Wyoming DAO LLCs31:58 Which country’s laws apply?33:48 Most important crypto legislation takeaways36:06 How can I help push crypto policy forward?38:37 Will crypto ever succeed in the U.S.?39:25 Best places to live for web3 nomads40:03 How to stay out of jail 42:51 Follow Rebecca DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we are dissecting identity, reputation, and truth with Billy Luedtke, founder of Intuition, a full stack solution that allows anyone to claim anything about anything.If that sounds cryptic to you, you’ll want to brace yourself because Billy and I go down countless esoteric rabbit holes in this episode about what our true identity is, how we know something to be true, and the ways in which technology is affecting our biological intuition. Billy has been in the crypto space for over 10 years and has been working on various decentralized identity projects throughout this time as one of the earliest employees at ConsenSys and later a founder of Uport, one of the earliest projects in web3 focused on decentralized identity. Many of the ideas we discuss in this episode are open to interpretation, and you probably have your own perspectives on these topics that differ from ours. I would love to hear your thoughts on these topics and open the conversation up to the community.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with fellow podcaster, Nick Hollins, about the creator economy, web3 communities, and building a collectively curated onchain radio at UFO. Nick is the creator of UFO and co-founder of Apollo, the creative lab that produces UFO.The creator economy has grown in leaps and bounds since the early 2000s with the introduction of blogging, to Youtube’s emergence, to social media and influencer marketing. The more recent implementation of blockchain technology, cryptography, and what we now see as the overarching web3 space to the creator economy has introduced a plethora of new funding and ownership tools we never saw before. Creators are now able to directly own and monetize their works, tokenize their intellectual property rights, share revenue with co-creators and collaborators transparently, automate payments, engage with their fans more meaningfully, and much more.Our guest, Nick, comes from a traditional community radio background in Australia and now uses a lot of his learnings from that world to build UFO, which is aspiring to be an onchain radio and club for creators and consumers of media.We talk about all of this and more and wrap up with an unexpectedly eerie explain your tweet segment at the end that triggers Diana’s deepest fears. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenNick: https://twitter.com/nick_hollinsUFO: https://ufo.fm/ SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzQuests: https://rehash.quests.com LINKSKabuki’s appearance on Rehash: https://rehash.mirror.xyz/1CKpkhPpEEq5det3EScI9OKrnljj26r-9o4CHoGEHC8UFO Mirror: https://ufo.mirror.xyz/Water and Music: https://twitter.com/water_and_musicJack Butcher: https://twitter.com/jackbutcherLens: https://lens.xyzRehash Orb community: https://orb.ac/community/64b36efa6f90fe171ffae8c5Rafa: https://twitter.com/rafathebuilder TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro04:05 Nick’s favorite web3 creator tools9:24 What’s missing from the web3 creator stack?11:21 Innovative incentive mechanisms 14:05 Why are people collecting media NFTs?18:00 Do NFTs have utility?21:17 Advice for creators to better engage with their fans24:35 Skills all creators in web3 need to have29:00 How web3 can benefit from media and how media can benefit from web332:53 Join the Rehash Orb community34:03 Questions from the community43:08 Explain Your Tweet DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Blake Finucane, Chief Strategy Officer at Emergent Entertainment and host of the Context Podcast with Boys Club, about the history of cryptoart and NFTs, strategies for NFT projects to succeed long term, and the role of NFTs in shaping the future of gaming. Emergent Entertainment is a leading metaverse and blockchain game studio.Blake is one of the earliest researchers of NFTs (non-fungible tokens). While most people started learning about NFTs in 2021, Blake has been studying NFTs since 2016, years before the ERC-721 token standard for NFTs was developed in early 2018.As a result of her innovative research on NFTs, she received a Canadian research grant to study at University of British Columbia, where she wrote her master’s thesis on how blockchain technology and cryptocurrency can be applied to the art world. It was one of the first ever academic theses to be published on crypto art, and we get to hear firsthand about it from the author in this episode.We also spend some time talking about web3 gaming and the role of NFTs in games. Blake is currently working on a game called Resurgence through her company, Emergent Entertainment, and she has some refreshing takes about how games should (or shouldn’t) structure their token models if they want to be successful.Blake has a wealth of knowledge and is so in tune with the culture of the space. She’s taken active steps to strike a balance between work and wellness, and she shares her best advice for achieving a healthy work-life balance while working in web3. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenBlake: https://twitter.com/blakefinucaneContext Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/context-views-on-crypto-and-culture/id1688280011Resurgence: https://twitter.com/ResurgenceGame SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzLore: https://lore.xyz/rehash LINKSBlake’s Master’s Thesis: https://open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/24/items/1.0370991Boys Club: https://twitter.com/BoysClubWorldS4 E6 | Art You Can’t See w/Sarah Meyohas & Mitchell Chan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMhXUlgS0NMBored Ape Yacht Club: https://twitter.com/BoredApeYCPudgy Penguins: https://twitter.com/pudgypenguinsResurgence: https://twitter.com/ResurgenceGameLoot: https://www.lootproject.com/Context Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uIXnKpaN3TZ7WdkdyfwMu?si=975986c3ca864eb1 TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro5:19 Living outside of the crypto bubble7:34 Blake’s Master’s Thesis on NFTs12:02 How AI has changed the NFT art world19:47 How NFT projects have developed over time22:01 The role of culture in shaping the NFT space26:21 Where we should experiment with NFTs32:22 Which aspects of web3 are attractive to gamers?38:55 Questions from Twitter48:10 Follow Blake DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Peter Pan, partner at 1kx, about how to identify successful early stage web3 projects, why certain NFT projects from the last bull run succeeded while others failed, and how we might be able to simulate real life physics in a digital environment. 1kx is an early stage investment firm that specializes in ecosystem growth.One of the hardest things to do in this space is to separate the hype from what’s real, and Peter does a great job of explaining how he analyzes various web3 projects to determine which ones will last the test of time. While most investors focus on the standard rhetoric of - you want to look at who the founder is, who the team is, Peter’s thinking goes much deeper into what are the foundational layers of the project and what it’s aiming to accomplish, and what impact can this project have on the broader tech space (not just the web3 space).We talk a lot about the role of community in shaping the success of a web3 project, and this led us down a rabbit hole of reminiscing and analyzing some of the NFT projects that rose to fame during the 2021 NFT craze. It’s really interesting to look back on some of the NFT projects I hedged my bets on back in 2021 and see where they are today (and how wrong I was about them). Finally, we talk about autonomous worlds, onchain gaming, and why Peter is a proponent of being able to simulate real world scenarios in a digital sandbox environment. We wrap up with some hot takes on community building that Peter shared in seemingly contradictory tweets back in late 2021 - early 2022 and give him a chance to explain the context in which he wrote those tweets. COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenPeter: https://twitter.com/pet3rpan_ SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzQuests: https://rehash.quests.comLore: https://lore.xyz/rehash LINKSMetalabel: https://www.newcreativeera.com/Cooper’s Writing NFTs: https://coopahtroopa.mirror.xyz/NFT ProjectsSquiggles: https://www.artblocks.io/collections/curated/projects/0x059edd72cd353df5106d2b9cc5ab83a52287ac3a/0Pudgy Penguins: https://www.pudgypenguins.com/Cool Cats: https://coolcatsnft.com/Degods: https://degods.com/Azuki: https://www.azuki.com/Doodles: https://twitter.com/doodlesDAOsMoloch DAO: https://molochdao.com/Nouns DAO: https://nouns.wtf/Axie Infinity: https://axieinfinity.com/ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro5:23 Identifying new web3 projects9:50 How to sort through the hype11:44 Learnings from successful and failed investments15:17 Investing in a bull market vs bear market16:36 What kind of innovation happens in a bear market?18:43 History of NFTs23:21 Future of media NFTs29:02 Cool Cats vs Pudgy Penguins35:32 What are autonomous worlds?41:14 How to avoid Black Mirror type scenarios42:47 Final thoughts from Peter43:37 Explain Your Tweet47:01 Follow Peter DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

On this episode of Rehash, we have a highly technical conversation with html_tina about re-staking, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), oracles, slashing, and more. Html_tina is a Product Manager and Head of Governance at EigenLayer, a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces re-staking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security.Tina does a great job of explaining these concepts in an easy to understand way, introducing playground analogies that even a 5 year old can understand. She also draws from traditional finance concepts like rehypothecation to further illustrate what liquid staking can enable. On a more practical front, Tina shares her best tips for someone trying out liquid staking for the first time, including why it’s of utmost importance to find a liquid staking service that offers full decentralization and self custody.Finally, Tina shares her views on the role of forking and rehypothecation in governance models and the potential benefits and drawbacks of the two within the context of a DAO.  COLLECT THIS EPISODEhttps://www.rehashweb3.xyz/ FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenTina: https://twitter.com/html_tina  EigenLayer: https://www.eigenlayer.xyz/ SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzLivepeer: https://livepeer.org LINKSVitalik’s article on risks of re-stakingEigenLayer blogDan Elitzer article DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
