]]> episodic no Diana Chen lozjoayf@fuhrenmail.com false full Creating Mass Adoption w/Luca Netz Creating Mass Adoption w/Luca Netz Diana Chen On this episode of Rehashed, we sit down with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, to talk about what it actually takes to bring crypto to the mainstream, build a brand that lasts, and avoid one of the biggest mistakes founders make when growing a project.

Luca acquired Pudgy Penguins in April 2022 for 750 ETH, roughly $2.5 million at the time, after the collection originally launched on Ethereum in July 2021.

Since then, Pudgy Penguins has become one of the few NFT brands to break meaningfully into mainstream culture. Its toys and plushies have reached Walmart shelves across the US, introducing the brand to an audience far beyond crypto.

Luca also shares updates on what the team is building next, including Overpass and Pudgy World, and explains how he thinks about licensing, community, culture, and turning an NFT project into a long-term consumer brand.

Whether you hold a Pudgy Penguin, build in crypto, or are simply interested in how web3 brands can reach mainstream audiences, this conversation is packed with practical insight from one of the space’s most successful operators.

Jill has lots of excellent analogies to help us better understand technical concepts like shared sequencers and rollups, and she debunks some common misconceptions people have about Espresso ahead of their mainnet launch this quarter.

The idea for this collaboration or interview came about when we had Jon Wu on the podcast in a previous episode that aired on May 9, 2024. In that episode, Jon criticized the concept of a “headless brand” that was coined by the Other Internet team back in 2019, and Toby Shorin responded that Jon’s interpretation of “headless brands” was not what the authors had intended when they wrote the article. It turns out that many people have similar interpretations of “headless brands” that Jon had, so it was helpful and productive to give the Other Internet team a chance to clarify what they meant.

We then discuss their latest article on crypto’s three body problem and give the team a chance to speak about it for the first time since publishing the article, and finally I asked Sam about a spicy post he wrote recently that called out a lot of the current onchain culture for being “completely soulless” and a “cultural wasteland.”

Rene is one of the founding engineers at Celestia and breaks down for us everything we need to know about DA and how it’s implemented at Celestia. We also talk about modularity in blockchains, light nodes, and other technical concepts that you may have heard of before but maybe don’t have a clear understanding of just yet. She does a great job of explaining all of these concepts clearly.

On a more personal level, Rene also shares about her background, how she taught herself to code, what protocol engineering is (hint: it’s very different from app development or smart contract coding), what it was like being a founding engineer at Celestia, and her experience as a woman in crypto having joined way back in the early days.

]]> <p>In this episode, we’re speaking with Rene Lubov, software engineer at Celestia, about data availability (DA), or what Rene prefers to call data publishing.</p><p>Rene is one of the founding engineers at Celestia and breaks down for us everything we need to know about DA and how it’s implemented at Celestia. We also talk about modularity in blockchains, light nodes, and other technical concepts that you may have heard of before but maybe don’t have a clear understanding of just yet. She does a great job of explaining all of these concepts clearly.</p><p>On a more personal level, Rene also shares about her background, how she taught herself to code, what protocol engineering is (hint: it’s very different from app development or smart contract coding), what it was like being a founding engineer at Celestia, and her experience as a woman in crypto having joined way back in the early days.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS</p><p>0:00 Intro</p><p>2:20 What is data availability (DA)?</p><p>5:15 Why is data availability getting so much attention lately?</p><p>9:12 How does data availability increase scalability and reduce costs?</p><p>11:30 Is DA implemented in the blockchain layer or app layer?</p><p>14:08 What is Celestia?</p><p>16:20 What is modularity in blockchains?</p><p>19:18 Is Celestia an L1 or L2?</p><p>21:49 Future of Celestia</p><p>22:08 What is a light node?</p><p>28:25 What is it like being a founding engineer?</p><p>32:09 How is protocol engineering different from smart contract engineering?</p><p>35:45 Berlin ETH culture</p><p>39:26 How Rene became a coder</p><p>43:36 Twitter questions</p><p>51:45 Can You Not</p> 04979c25-8711-4893-9503-5b12433c50c4 https://redcircle.com/shows/efb4d278-08df-4697-821b-c0e0d65e20b3/episodes/c65c3ed2-1195-443b-8359-cf46b64c3585 Thu, 15 Aug 2024 15:00:28 +0000 3451 false full S2 E3 | Innovative Organizational Structures w/Dr. Nick (FactoryDAO) S2 E3 | Innovative Organizational Structures w/Dr. Nick (FactoryDAO) Diana Chen In this episode, we’re speaking with Dr. Nick Almond, a physicist turned DAO enthusiast and now CEO of Factory Labs, about cybernetic governance frameworks in DAOs, the current state and challenges of DAOs, and the potential of decentralized AI in governance.

We also talk about issues of privacy and surveillance, Dr. Nick shares his critical views on WorldCoin (now World), and we wrap up with some of Dr. Nick’s personal insights on the future of decentralization.

LDF (LayerZero), Sophia Dew (Celo), and Jarrell James aka JJ from Parabl discuss diverse perspectives on the endgame of crypto, encompassing the global south, future of work, and the idea that there might be no definitive endgame at all.

The debate (which turned out to be less combative and more agreeable than planned) explores significant themes of autonomy, global collaboration, and the role of silliness in innovation, as well as the potential paths and impact of crypto on the world.
