Main topic for the week is the component of DeFi most taken for granted - Keepers.  A pivotal component that keeps DeFi running.  Keepers monitor the state of the network and perform economically-incentivized actions that keep DeFi protocols and apps functioning.  We discuss some popular projects that are trying to level up the keeper ecosystem in different ways - keep3r & keeperDAO.


We then discuss Miner Extracted Value (MEV) in the context of keepers and the "decentralization stack".


Lastly we introduce $CAST a token-gated discord server for exploring how DeFi can be used to build tools that help support independent content creators (with initial focus on podcasts).


Independent podcasters - join the chat or DM us and we will send you some $CAST


Listeners - Keep an eye on our twitter for opportunities to earn some $CAST
