Impact on Optimism Episode 2 - growthepie - Scaling Ethereum L2s and The Superchain as a Positive Sum Game

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 45:51

For today’s episode we’re excited to return to the Impact on Optimism Series for the second episode! In this series, we highlight gamechanging public goods projects in the Optimism Ecosystem, and today, we have a super interesting conversation in store centered around the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem.

For episode 2 of the Impact on Optimism miniseries, we’re excited to welcome Tobias Schreier, Co-Founder of growthepie, a Layer 2 fundamentals and blockspace analytics platform on a mission to help scale Ethereum! We dive into the complex Ethereum L2 ecosystem, the exciting momentum around the Superchain, the Web3 public goods funding ecosystem, Optimism’s RetroPGF program, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

The L2 ecosystem is rapidly evolving, with new L2s launching on a regular basis. Given the complexity of the L2 ecosystem, and the various use cases of L2s, it can be difficult to stay up to date and understand the L2 ecosystem, especially for those that are new to Web3. As such, it’s important to have open, accessible, and transparent metrics and analytics to help navigate this complex landscape.
There are several metrics that can be helpful in evaluating the sustainability of L2s and which one to build or transact on. These include the cost per transaction, the stablecoin market cap on the L2, chain profitability, and the types of activity (i.e. DeFi, NFT sales) that are most prominent on the chain.
The Superchain is a network of layer 2 blockchains that are built on the open source OP stack. This allows builders to launch their own chain, giving them the freedom to optimize for their use case while still keeping consistency and connection between the different chains. Participants in the superchain get the benefits of the OP stack as it pertains to security, bridging, and updates from the OP Collective.

Episode 168 - The Wellbeing Protocol - Scaling Localism with Web3 and Hyper Local DAOs

Episode 168

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 • Duration 38:05

In episode 168, we’re excited to welcome Mark Pascall, Co-Founder of The Wellbeing Protocol, an organization on a mission to build a world where local communities are empowered to support their own wellbeing. We discuss how their participatory grantmaking tool is giving communities the power to allocate capital, the role of quadratic and conviction voting mechanisms, the future of hyper local DAOs, why Web3 is a powerful tool to scale localism, and much more!

✨Tell us your public goods story for a chance to win 500 $GLM!

--Three Key Takeaways--

One of the best ways to reallocate power from large corporations and institutions to local communities is by bringing communities onchain as local DAOs. This gives communities a mechanism to allocate capital, make decisions, and coordinate to limit the power of large institutions.
Conviction Voting is a coordination tool that allows communities to collectively govern shared resources. In this system, individuals can vote over a period of time, and are able to change their vote at anytime. However, as long as an individual doesn’t change their vote after it has been casted, it is a signal that you have strong conviction, and the power of your vote grows.
In addition to the value of putting local community organizations onchain, one of the other benefits of web3 is all the open-source experimentation happening in the space. Since web3 is so new, it gives communities an opportunity to experiment at the ground level with new mechanisms for coordination and governance.

Episode 160 - CryptoConexión & WAGMI LatAm - Catalyzing the Next Generation of Web3 Innovators in Latin America

Episode 160

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 • Duration 33:26

In episode 160, we’re excited to welcome Monica Talan of CryptoConexión and WAGMI LatAm, two incredible projects focused on catalyzing the Web3 movement in Latin America. We discuss why Latin America has been such an exciting hub for innovation, how Web3 can create economic and social inclusion in the region, some of the most exciting projects coming out of Latin America, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

One of the biggest barriers to accessing Web3 for non-English speakers in a lack of resources and educational materials in their language. The importance of this cannot be understated, so it’s vital that education and onboarding projects (including Crypto Altruism) work to offer their content in multiple languages.
Hackathons are an incredible tool for catalyzing innovation, however they have traditionally been focused on the development of software. There can be a lot of value in expanding the concept and culture of hackathons to other disciplines including education, international development, public goods, etc., to ensure diverse individuals can benefit from hackathons.
A combination of great leaders, a focus on the ethos of Web3, projects centered around accessibility and social impact, and a pre-existing foundation of innovation make Latin America a great place for building and experimenting in Web3.

Three Key Takeaways

DAOs will disrupt traditional funding mechanisms in science by giving communities the ability to invest directly in research projects that are important to them and share in the benefits of its commercialization.
IPNFTs allow scientists to tokenize their research on-chain, as an NFT, to retain ownership over their work while allowing the community to share in the value of open-source research.
Web3 will shift the power in scientific research and exploration away from centralized institutions, such as large academic journals and research institutions, and into the hands of scientists and the community. Web3 gives power to individuals to own a piece of the future.

Monday, October 31, 2022 • Duration 30:57

In episode 76 we’re excited to welcome Dave Grannan, Founder of DVL.DGS, an NFT project using the power of web3 to support veterans and service members in the areas of suicide prevention, access to quality healthcare, sexual violence prevention, homelessness, and education and financial literacy, with 100% of proceeds from sales supporting these causes.

Three Key Takeaways

The support services for veterans and service members in the US are broken. Veterans and service members suffer disproportionate rates of homelessness, suicide, and mental illness, and creative approaches to addressing these issues are needed.
Crypto and NFTs should be embraced by the charitable sector as they allow for a greater degree to transparency and trust by allowing for an open and trustless system of giving.
NFTs allow individuals to support causes they care about while being able to receive something tangible in return, an NFT, to commemorate their donation.

Episode 75 - Topl - Maximizing the value of impact with blockchain

Episode 75

Monday, October 24, 2022 • Duration 44:48

In episode 75, we are excited to welcome Erin Murphy, Chief Growth Officer at Topl, an impact-focused blockchain protocol.

Three Key Takeaways

It is hard to think of any sector, space, or facet of our lives that blockchain doesn’t have the potential to improve in some way. Topl is helping give individuals and organizations the tools to maximize this impact with blockchain.
Blockchain is ushering in an era of radical transparency and accountability for corporations and organizations – whether it’s supply chains, NGOs, or governments – by making it much easier to verify important data from these organizations.
Web3 gives agency to smaller organizations such as grassroots movements and community groups, by shifting the prevailing narrative in technology from competition to collaboration, and creating a new tech space where everyone can thrive, not just a select few.

Episode 74 - WheelCoin - Incentivizing sustainable mobility with Move2Earn and web3

Episode 74

Monday, October 17, 2022 • Duration 47:03

For Ep. 74, we’re excited to welcome Boyd Cohen, Founder & CEO of Iomob, an organization with a mission to support climate action by making sustainable mobility easily available and accessible; and Internet of Mobility, a decentralized web3 marketplace for green mobility.

Web3 tools can be used to connect the fragmented mobility market (transit, bikeshares, taxis, etc.) into one decentralized network to create a more seamless user experience.
Move2Earn mechanics can be used to incentivize individuals to engage in more sustainable actions, such as using public transit, or biking to work.
Blockchain allows for organizations to create public goods on a global scale in ways that weren’t possible before through the use of decentralized, permissionless networks.
