Dekan is a Solidity developer & web3 shadowy super coder extraordinaire. He’s a lead at DAOhaus, a project dedicated to giving people the functionality to make DAOs run. In this episode Chair, unfortunately with no side of pork, catches Dekan in the wake of MCON and the two discuss reflections on web3’s past, and expectations for the next 2 years.
Dekan is a beacon of knowledge and experience in web3 development. He’s been building since days when every app had its own wallet, and DAO memberships & ephemeral keys were kept in local storage. He watched as web3 development moved from a nerdy space of devs passionate about privacy, encryption & decentralization to the land of UI/UX design, NFTs, defi opportunities and expansive communities. Short & sweet, this conversation w Chair & Dekan dives into assessments of this evolution and the importance of preserving early web3 values.
Some of the topics:
Web3 app hiccups in 2018
DAO cultural shifts as UX designers & artists entering the space
Defi & apeing in
Spam NFT phishing
Non-technical roles
Encryption and privacy
Cross-DAO integration
As a well sought-after Solidity dev, Dekan emphasizes that the foundation of web3 is decentralization, encryption & privacy. We’re trying to build more than just “web2.5”, and he recognizes that “non-technical people still have to make a cognitive leap into this world of thinking about things using the blockchain and smart contracts”.
The conversation concludes with a discussion of DAO collaboration projects and awesome tech. They touch on instances of using sidechain vote logic and DAO membership to control mainnet funds and take advantage of massive liquidity. It’s an episode you don’t want to miss! Keep listening at the end for a DAO-for-beginners back-and-forth with Chair & Bacon.
