Mission: DeFi EP 91 - Can Bancor come back from a massive failure? - Mark Richardson explains Carbon & what it was like

March 13, 2023 15:05 - 1 hour - 72.3 MB

There are a lot of failures in crypto and DeFi history. Exploits, hacks, and failure of models have all lead to billions in losses for average traders. Bancor, the original AMM, experienced such a failure in June of last year, just after launching their vaunted version 3 of their protocol. The destruction was indirectly caused by the very thing that drew so many people to it, Impermanent Loss Protection combined with liquidity mining. The difference between Bancor and many projects in DeFi i...

Mission: DeFi EP 90 - There's more to Arweave than you thought possible - Creator - Sam Williams

March 08, 2023 16:06 - 1 hour - 78.6 MB

If you think Arweave is just a place to store NFTs permanently, then this episode is going to be a complete eye opener for you as it was for me. Sam Wiliams had an obsession with geopolitics that led him to a vision of creating a system of permanent storage, because he was concerned about censorship and the ongoing human problems of storing our information, knowledge, and data in a safe and permanent way. What he got on the other side of the launch, was far far more than just data storage.  ...
