<p>Today on the show we welcome back Sandeep and Mihalo, the Co-Founders of Polygon. </p> <p>Polygon is one of the most used chains in crypto. That in itself is a massive accomplishment. However, there’s been criticism of Polygon in the past, that it’s “just a sidechain.” That it’s not “Ethereum aligned.” The release of Polygon 2.0 will silence these critics. Tune in to understand why. </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.

<p>In this episode, we delve into the frontier of AI and the challenges surrounding AI alignment. The AI / Crypto overlap at Zuzalu sparked discussions on topics like ZKML, MEV bots, and the integration of AI agents into the Ethereum landscape. </p> <p>However, the focal point was the alignment conversation, which showcased both pessimistic and resigned optimistic perspectives. We hear from Nate Sores of MIRI, who offers a downstream view on AI risk, and Deger Turan, who emphasizes the importance of human alignment as a prerequisite for aligning AI. Their discussions touch on epistemology, individual preferences, and the potential of AI to assist in personal and societal growth.</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.

<p>It's ETHCC time, the Ethereum Community Conference where groundbreaking announcements are made. And ahead of the conference, Uniswap Labs has already released their latest protocol, Uniswap X, a game-changing addition to the Uniswap ecosystem. Uniswap X is the missing piece that makes Uniswap the ultimate destination for token swappers.</p> <p>In this episode, we have Hayden Adams, the creator of Uniswap, revealing the ins and outs of Uniswap X. This protocol ensures competitive order execution in DeFi, safeguarding swappers from MEV extractors, arbitrageurs, and front runners, so that everyday users can secure the best possible deals. </p> <p>Discover how Uniswap X employs a Dutch auction to maximize returns, while reducing bridge risks and enhancing efficiency in DeFi trading.</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.

<p>Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running.</p> <p>Synthetic biology is a fascinating field that combines biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems. By manipulating and reprogramming the DNA of living organisms, scientists can create new functions and traits that do not occur naturally. It's like rewriting the instruction manual of life itself, similar to how we write computer code.</p> <p>In this video, you'll hear from three leaders in the synthetic biology industry—Drew Endy, John Cumbers, and Jennifer Holmgren—who will expand our understanding and imagination of this exciting field.</p> <p>Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes!</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.

<p>Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running.</p> <p>This video features two conversations with big-brain builders Daniel Shorr of ZKML and Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation. Although cryptography quickly falls down a technical rabbit hole, it looks like we're entering a new golden age of cryptography.</p> <p>Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes!</p> <p>-----<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2">https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2</a> </p> <p>🦊METAMASK LEARN | HELPFUL WEB3 RESOURCE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask</a> </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> </p> <p>🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Mantle">https://bankless.cc/Mantle</a> </p> <p>-----<br /> Timestamps:</p> <p>4:00 DANIEL SHORR<br /> 6:00 Cryptography and AI<br /> 9:15 A Computing Explosion<br /> 13:10 On-Chain AI Models<br /> 15:45 Modulus Labs<br /> 19:15 Compute Integrity<br /> 24:00 A Verifiable World<br /> 26:15 Accountability for Machine Models</p> <p>31:00 JUSTIN DRAKE<br /> 33:30 Nova Cryptography<br /> 39:00 Decentralizing zk-Rollups<br /> 43:30 The Future of Rollups<br /> 47:35 Improving Validity<br /> 50:45 This is a Big Deal<br /> 54:20 Justin’s Zuzalu Experience</p> <p>----<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Daniel Shorr<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/realDanielShorr?s=20">https://twitter.com/realDanielShorr?s=20</a> </p> <p>Modulus Labs<br /> <a href= "https://www.moduluslabs.xyz/">https://www.moduluslabs.xyz/</a> </p> <p>Justin Drake<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/drakefjustin?s=20">https://twitter.com/drakefjustin?s=20</a> </p> <p>----<br /> Not financial or tax advice.

<p>Today's episode is with Representative Warren Davidson, an outspoken member of the U.S. Congress and an advocate for cryptocurrency.</p> <p>In today's show, we cover: <br /> 1) Why is Rep. Warren Davidson trying to fire Gary Gensler?<br /> 2) What is the “SEC Stabilization Act?”<br /> 3) Is the U.S. losing ground to Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong? How can it catch up?<br /> 4) Does Congress care enough about crypto to do something about it? How can we change that?</p> <p>As a reminder, Bankless is not a political podcast that divides on red/blue lines. We have no party affinity in the U.S. or any other nation. What we do care about is the values of decentralization, autonomy, and power to the people that underly this crypto technology. To the extent these values are political, so are we. But they don’t divide on party lines. We’ll continue to give voice to these values no matter what political party they come from.</p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.

<p>What are the implications of restaking? Not every Bankless listener will be prepared for this conversation. This one is a hard one.

<p>Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running.</p> <p>In this first episode with Vitalik, we kick off by discussing the concept of Zuzalu with a birds-eye view. Vitalik helps us unravel the meta-quest of understanding the essence of Zuzalu and its role in curating communities.

<p>Can we go Bankless using PayPal? We brought on Jose Fernandez da Ponte, the Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies at PayPal and Venmo to help us answer that question. Jose is responsible for driving PayPal’s efforts to bring the utility of crypto-assets and crypto-networks to their hundreds of millions of global consumers. </p> <p>He also knows a thing or two about how the banking system works and how to fix it. And we also got the SVP of PayPal to say, “DeFi Mullet,” not once, but three times. </p> <p>*PayPal currently offers crypto services only in the U.S., U.K., and Luxembourg. Venmo is available in the US only.</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the episode: <br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-jose-paypal">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-jose-paypal</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 Unlock $1,000+ in Perks with Bankless Citizenship 🚀<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GetThePerks">https://bankless.cc/GetThePerks</a> </p> <p>------<br /> In today’s episode, we cover: </p> <p>1) What PayPal sees in crypto <br /> 2) What PayPal’s 400M accounts can do with crypto today <br /> 3) How we get to $1T in stablecoins<br /> 4) What’s the role of CDBCs in a world of highly successful stablecoins?
