Any funding mechanism must have some metric by which a funding allocation is determined. I think we can get away from voting or committees as the specific decision making process but I don't think it's possible to get away from the idea of a decision making process in the abstract. If the goal is to ...

Kelvin, are you referring to who is funding Protocol Guild? Or who is funding the EF?


I want to get even broader and try to map out all of the major pieces of public infrastructure that Ethereum relies on and figure out where the money's coming from to build those things.

Understanding who's ...

Yeah love this idea. I've always wanted to do something like this but I don't have the time to do the animations or editing myself. Does anyone know a great animator and/or editor that would be interested in creating this sort of content?

Agreed with leoglisic. As much as I'm a fan of putting things onchain, I'm even more of a fan of shipping useful products quickly.

Are the potential benefits of DAOs worth it over just trying to heavily minimize them in most cases? I feel like governance minimization has really only been the effective / winning strategy

Answering this is complicated. We first need to understand what "governance minimization" even means ...

The chief contention is basically just that DAOs aren't decentralized enough. My chief response to this contention is that the existing options for how to decentralize a DAO are bad and that we need more experimentation in the space. Problem is that few people are willing to yolo experiment with ...

I'll give the two things that are most important to me as a user:


I want to be able to use Ethereum applications without thinking too hard. Logging into websites is easy. I want logging into Ethereum applications to be just as easy.
I don't want to be scared to interact with things. I don't ...

I thought Lefteris had some interesting points. Honestly my main point of criticism about the talk is that things are hard and take a lot of time and I don't think Lefteris gives enough space for this. Decentralized governance is extremely hard to get right. I think there's a lot of pressure to just ...
