Learn how to build a simple estate plan and lend or repay family money without hurting your relationships. What’s the first thing to do when creating an estate plan? What’s the smartest way to handle loans between friends or family? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola break down estate-planning basics like wills, revocable trusts, living wills/advance healthcare directives, and durable powers of attorney — tools that can ensure your wishes are carried out and help your loved ones avoid probate. They also share when to update your documents, how beneficiary designations can override your will, and three simple to-dos to get started without feeling overwhelmed. Then, mortgage and student loans writer Kate Wood joins Sean and Elizabeth to answer a listener’s question about paying a loan back to her parents. They explore how family loans and lending circles work, why it’s important to put agreements in writing (and when notarizing helps), and the impact informal loans can have on your credit. They also weigh different ways to set money aside, comparing high-yield savings accounts with taxable brokerage accounts invested in ETFs and considering timelines, growth potential, and tax trade-offs.

In this digital age, counting ballots by hand, as recently seen in the US Presidential Election, is very analogue and behind the times. Although the US constitution is over two centuries old and hasn't had a major version update since 1992, European democracies are much more recent and utilizing the technology available today.

This panel discussion looks at how open technologies and new systems of governance could be a path toward a future of democracy. We also hear about the avenues for improvement with modern voting techniques and liquid democracy.

Topics covered in this episode:

Introductions to all panel members
The state of democratic processes in G20 countries today and which are at the forefront of innovation
What are the incentives for different stakeholders in liquid democracy
How can digital voting systems be trusted?
Implementing and reviewing new democratic systems
The journey forward for digital democracy

Benjamin Sarquis Peillard: Cap Labs – Insured Yield & the Future of Stablecoins 58:02

לפני 5 ימים58:02

58:02

In this episode, Sebastien Couture is joined by Benjamin, the founder of CAP, a stablecoin protocol designed to provide insured yield. The protocol features two main products: CUSD, a digital dollar, and stCUSD, its staked, yield-bearing version. Yield is generated through an "allocation engine" where third-party operators borrow from the protocol's reserve to execute yield strategies. To ensure user deposits, these operators must be vouched for by restakers on protocols like Symbiotic. If an operator defaults, the restakers who vouched for them are slashed, protecting the stablecoin holders' funds. This model shifts risk from the end-user to the restakers, who have a bilateral relationship with the operators they underwrite, often backed by legal agreements. Topics covered in this episode: - Benjamin's background and perspective on China - Journey into crypto and stablecoins - Hot Take: Stablecoins are not as safe as you think - The evolution of stablecoin models - Has DeFi forgotten about decentralization? - CAP's design: CUSD and stCUSD - How CAP generates yield with operators and restakers - The role of restakers and legal agreements - Integrating with Symbiotic and views on EigenLayer - The best use cases for shared security - Navigating the Genius Act and global regulations - Rebuilding trust in the DeFi ecosystem - Why the stablecoin space is not too crowded Episode links: - [Benjamin on X](https://x.com/Benjamin918_ ) - [Cap Money](https://x.com/capmoney_) Sponsors: - Chorus One: Chorus One runs validators on cutting edge Proof of Stake networks such as Cosmos, Solana, Celo, Polkadot and Oasis. - https://epicenter.rocks/chorusone - Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Mento: Onchain FX Markets - Decentralising World Currencies - Markus Franke 1:06:14

לפני 15 ימים1:06:14

1:06:14

TradFi FX markets are slow, expensive and often lack liquidity for direct swaps between different world currencies, having to route through USD pairs. While crypto could technically solve pairing through AMM pools, those needed to be arbitraged in order to reflect TradFi rates. With 15 fully-backed stablecoins, Mento is building the largest FX infrastructure, bringing world currencies onchain through its robust multi-currency stablecoin platform. In order to provide traders with accurate real-word FX rates, Mento employs FPMM (fixed-price market makers) which gather offchain data from multiple oracles. Instant settlement, cross-border, at a fraction of a cost of conventional remittance providers, while also avoiding traditional banking limitations. Backed by strong on- & off-ramp integrations, Mento also caters towards day-to-day use cases, empowering locals and businesses to diversify their FX exposure without the hurdles of TradFi. Mento enables smooth cross-currency transactions without traditional banking limitations, unlocking DeFi yield for a wide variety of currencies. Topics covered in this episode: Markus’ background, from TradFi to DeFi Unbanking the banked Starting a stablecoin protocol on Celo The role of stablecoins FX markets & Mento’s design FPMM vs. AMM Mento’s target audience Centralised vs. decentralised stablecoins Mento governance M0’s approach Integrating with banking systems Episode links: ⁠Markus Franke on X Mento on X Celo on X Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

f(x) Protocol: Decentralized Yield-Bearing Stablecoin & 0-Liquidation Perp - Cyrille Brière 1:00:22

לפני 24 ימים1:00:22

1:00:22

Without a doubt, the introduction of stablecoins has vastly increased overall crypto liquidity, adoption and real-world use cases as they offered a safe haven against the industry’s volatility, especially during bearmarkets. However, despite being extremely efficient, the main stablecoin actors (i.e. Circle & Tether) are centralised entities. Many attempts have been made to create a reliable decentralised stablecoin, but regulations and the resounding collapse of Terra’s UST have only pushed towards more established, yet centralised, variants. f(x) is a new generation CDP (collateralised debt position) protocol that offers on-chain perpetual trading for BTC & ETH with near-0 funding rates and a novel liquidation mechanism which protects users against hard liquidations. The leverage component is powered by emitting fxUSD, the protocol’s decentralised stablecoin, which boasts robust peg-keeping mechanisms, the main one being fxSAVE’s stability pool. The fxSAVE strategy bestows nearly 10% APY to the yield-bearing fxUSD-USDC pair. Topics covered in this episode: Cyrille’s background AladdinDAO Decentralised stablecoins f(x) perps and sharing liquidation risks The efficiency of progressive liquidations Removing funding rates fxSAVE’s stability pool yields fxUSD’s organic adoption The importance of decentralised stablecoins Winning in the perp arena Opportunities in the stablecoin adoption race Episode links: Cyrille Brière on X f(x) Protocol on X AladdinDAO on X Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Euler: The DeFi Super App - Michael Bentley 1:00:01

לפני 24 ימים1:00:01

1:00:01

Euler is a DeFi lending protocol built around the idea of permissionless modularity, enabling users to lend and borrow almost any crypto asset with flexible, permissionless pools, tailored to individual risk profiles. Moreover, Euler Vault Kit (EVK) and Ethereum Vault Connector (EVC) enable the creation of custom lending vaults which, in turn, can be used as collateral for other vaults. Earlier this year Euler also announced EulerSwap, a new DEX with a built-in AMM powered by Euler’s lending infrastructure and integrated with Uniswap v4’s hook architecture. EulerSwap integrates directly with Euler’s lending vaults, allowing assets to be used across multiple pools. This turns the lending protocol into a shared liquidity layer, improving capital efficiency across the ecosystem via swaps, lending yield or collateral for borrowing other assets. Topics covered in this episode: Michael’s background The history & vision behind Euler The Euler hack Euler V2 Euler vs. other lending protocols Diversifying offerings Variable vs. fixed rates How Pendle works Euler’s future RWAs Privacy in DeFi Euler roadmap The impact of AI in DeFi Episode links: ⁠⁠Michael Bentley on X ⁠⁠ Euler on X⁠⁠ Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Zama: FHE and The Holy Grail of Blockchain Privacy 56:12

לפני 6 weeks56:12

56:12

Blockchains operate as a public ledger, ‘disclosing’ the entire transaction history and associated data to everyone. While verifiability and traceability are key traits, as blockchains gain global adoption, those very features hinder the process. Self custody, on-chain identities, corporate strategies, transaction history, private deals, all represent highly sensitive information that call for provable confidentiality. Fully homomorphic encryption has long been considered the ‘holy grail’ of cryptography as it enables computation to be performed on encrypted data without the need of prior decryption. This basically translates to true end-to-end encryption, both on-chain and off-chain. As cryptographic research advances, so does the scalability and applicability of FHE. As a result of more than 5 years of work, Zama has now released Zama Protocol, which enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE, without any additional execution burden. By encrypting all ciphertexts with the same public key, FHE ensures composability and seamless integration across different blockchains and applications, making it a true cross-chain confidentiality layer. Through parallel execution, Zama Protocol already surpasses Ethereum’s throughput, yet future roadmap includes open-source development of FPGA & ASIC in order to scale it even further, to accommodate faster, non-EVM chains. Topics covered in this episode: Zama’s progress in FHE Zama's confidential blockchain Protocol Security guarantees of MPC coprocessors Maintaining a healthy operator set Slashing and governance Zama’s throughput Open-sourcing FPGA & ASIC development The Zama token & its implications Zama’s public testnet Private voting Zama funding Regulations Expanding use cases beyond blockchains Future goals and expectations Episode links: Rand Hindi on X Zama on X Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

56:51

In an age when AI models are becoming exponentially more sophisticated and powerful, how does one ensure that proper results are being generated and that the AI model functions in desired parameters? This pressing concern of AI alignment could be solved through cryptographic verification, using zero knowledge proofs. ZKPs not only allow for verifying computation at scale, but they also confer data privacy. Lagrange’s DeepProve zkML is the fastest in existence, making it easy to prove that AI inferences are correct, scaling verifiable computation as the demand for AI grows.

UMA & Across: Optimistic Oracles & Intent-Based Bridges for Unifying Ethereum - Hart Lambur 1:11:16

לפני 10 weeks1:11:16

1:11:16

Universal Market Access (UMA) was founded by 2 ex Goldman Sachs traders that wanted to make global markets universally accessible through financial smart contracts that used synthetic assets on Ethereum. However, this was taking place long before the massive boom of DeFi summer of 2020. As a result, UMA shifted to building an optimistic oracle to power prediction markets as a decentralised ‘truth machine’, thus expanding oracle use cases. Through game theoretic models, UMA managed to properly incentivise its token holders to act as voters, rewarding them for good predictions & disputes, and vice versa. Later on, Hart Lambur also co-founded Across, an intent-based optimistic bridge that set out to create a seamless UX for unifying EVM chains. Through their solver network, Across managed to achieve fast (as low as 2 seconds) and cheap bridging, abstracting away crosschain complexities, without any security tradeoffs. Topics covered in this episode: Hart’s background Universal Market Access, from synthetic assets to oracles Building Across UMA’s optimistic oracle Incentivizing voters & resolving disputes Dealing with invalid outcomes Optimistic security assumptions UMA x Across dual token interactions Across’ intent-based bridge Pricing mechanism & solver competition ZK settlement Bridging fragmentation Abstracting & unifying cross-chain bridging Bridging between rollups UMA & Across governance systems Episode links: Hart Lambur on X Across Protocol on X UMA Protocol on X Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

לפני 12 weeks1:01:40

1:01:40

‘Attention Is All You Need’, co-wrote by Illia Polosukhin in 2017, laid the foundation for arguably one of the most consequential tech breakthroughs in our recent history. 1 year later, Illia founded Near AI, which later became Near Protocol. They were visionaries ahead of their time and, although AI took several more years before becoming a viable product, the experience of scaling databases would later prove valuable and applicable in blockchain world. As a result, Near Protocol aims to become the infrastructure layer for AI apps and the agentic economy. In order to achieve this, scaling was paramount, thus Near is one of the first blockchains to implement execution layer sharding, asynchronous execution and stateless validation, which brought the finality time down to 1.2 seconds, with a block time of 0.6 seconds. Topics covered in this episode: Bowen’s background Near’s pivot from AI to blockchains The role of Near One Near’s tech stack upgrades Optimizing network architecture Stateless validation & block propagation Sharding & asynchronous execution Message passing between shards & shard ‘equality’ Challenges of implementing stateless validation Applications benefiting from Near’s finality speed Intent-based infrastructure AI use cases on Near Expanding Near’s ecosystem Development challenges Near’s vision and goals Episode links: Bowen Wang on X Near One Near on X Sponsors: Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
