Dissenting from China's Censorship with Jiajun Zeng | Layer Zero

Before coming to the U.S., Jiajung Zeng lived in China and worked as a Product Manager for TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance. Jiajung worked specifically on the content moderation team that was heavily censored by the Chinese government. Jiajung tells the story of how content moderation actually works in China. He shares the hoops these Chinese tech companies must go through to even operate as a business. And towards the end of the conversation, Jiajung shares the overall sentiment of the people of China on content moderation and what they do about it. Ultimately the conversation converges on the topic of Ethereum, decentralization, and crypto writ large in China. This is a special Layer Zero as it shows a side of China many of us don’t typically get a chance to experience and it highlights the importance of crypto fundamentals. ------ 📣 Chainlink | Register for SmartCon 2022 with promo code “BANKLESS” <a href= "https://bankless.cc/smartcon">https://bankless.cc/smartcon</a> ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🌱 LENS | ACCESS CODE: MINTME <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lens">https://bankless.cc/Lens</a> 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/RocketPool">https://bankless.cc/RocketPool</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> 🌉 JUNO | BRIDGE FIAT TO LAYER 2 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Juno">https://bankless.cc/Juno</a> ⚡️ ZKSYNC | THE LAYER 2 SCALING ENDGAME <a href= "https://bankless.cc/zkSync">https://bankless.cc/zkSync</a> ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 4:15 Jiajung Zeng’s Background 5:38 ByteDance Explained 8:30 ByteDance Content Moderation 11:11 Political Content Moderation 16:00 Moderation Resource Consumption 20:49 Consequences of Mistakes 22:47 Who is at Risk? 25:47 China’s Content Moderation Army 27:53 AI’s Role 31:35 Uyghurs & China 41:16 Dialect Suppression 43:53 Sentiment of the Chinese People 46:55 The Pushback 50:55 The Positives of China 53:54 Sentiment of the Future of China 57:32 Jiajung’s Ethereum Familiarity 59:47 ByteDance & Ethereum 1:01:52 Chinese People’s Thoughts on Crypto 1:03:11 China’s Crypto Scene 1:04:28 Jiajun’s Message to the Bankless Nation ------ Resources: Jiajung Zeng <a href= "https://twitter.com/zengjiajun_eth">https://twitter.com/zengjiajun_eth</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.

134 - Ethereum Uncensored with Justin Drake

We brought on Ethereum researcher Justin Drake to explore this question in detail. Establishing and preserving censorship resistance is possibly the most important challenge faced by the Ethereum. Covering deep topics like weak vs strong censorship, user-activated soft forks, Justin takes us down what is perhaps our most important rabbit hole yet. ------ 📣 Chainlink | Register for SmartCon 2022 with promo code “BANKLESS” <a href= "https://bankless.cc/smartcon">https://bankless.cc/smartcon</a> ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🌱 LENS | ACCESS CODE: MERGE (only valid for 24 hours!) <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lens">https://bankless.cc/Lens</a> 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/RocketPool">https://bankless.cc/RocketPool</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> 🌉 JUNO | BRIDGE FIAT TO LAYER 2 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Juno">https://bankless.cc/Juno</a> ⚡️ ZKSYNC | THE LAYER 2 SCALING ENDGAME <a href= "https://bankless.cc/zkSync">https://bankless.cc/zkSync</a> ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 6:00 Justin Drake Returns 8:45 What is Censorship Resistance? 13:00 Censorship in Crypto 15:25 Weak vs Strong Censorship 21:25 Ethereum Today 26:35 The Ethereum Nation 31:12 Why This Matters 35:25 Preventing Weak Censorship 42:55 Light Clients 46:26 Proposers and Builders 52:50 Enforcing Transactions 59:24 The Mempool 1:03:45 The Weak Censorship Endgame 1:10:00 Preventing Strong Censorship 1:15:00 Diversity 1:20:00 Activist Staking 1:26:25 A Recovery Scenario 1:33:40 Social Fork 1:40:40 A Forking Deterrent 1:44:45 The Human Shield 1:50:45 Property Rights 2:01:00 The Strong Censorship Endgame 2:05:00 The Broader Context 2:10:56 Justin’s Confidence ------ Resources: Justin Drake <a href= "https://twitter.com/drakefjustin">https://twitter.com/drakefjustin</a> Flashbots Episode <a href= "https://youtu.be/xex9WVmVfbg">https://youtu.be/xex9WVmVfbg</a> Justin Drake Episodes <a href= "https://youtu.be/1m12zgJ42dI">https://youtu.be/1m12zgJ42dI</a> <a href= "https://youtu.be/dHpAC0m8Rkk">https://youtu.be/dHpAC0m8Rkk</a> <a href= "https://youtu.be/FQTZSb3Rc9I">https://youtu.be/FQTZSb3Rc9I</a> <a href= "https://youtu.be/bWqhn1hXvVc">https://youtu.be/bWqhn1hXvVc</a> Solo Staking <a href= "https://www.reddit.com/r/ethstaker/">https://www.reddit.com/r/ethstaker/</a> <a href= "https://rocketpool.net/">https://rocketpool.net/</a> Crypto Lobby Groups <a href= "https://gitcoin.co/coincenter">https://gitcoin.co/coincenter</a> <a href= "https://www.defieducationfund.org/">https://www.defieducationfund.org/</a> <a href= "https://gitcoin.co/grants/3974/electronic-frontier-foundation">https://gitcoin.co/grants/3974/electronic-frontier-foundation</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.

133 - Flashbots Saves Crypto with Stephane Gosselin

Stephane Gosselin is the Founder of Flashbots, an R&D organization that’s trying to fix the most pernicious problem in crypto—the problem of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value). Many of us are massively optimistic about crypto and aren’t worried too much about its future. However, this MEV thing could be our achilles heel. On this episode, we dive into what Stephane and his team are doing to make MEV less of a potential weak point, how MEV works, and what our industry would look like if Flashbots didn't exist. And of course—so much more. This is another fundamental Bankless episode that you won’t want to miss. ------ 📣 Chainlink | Register for SmartCon 2022 with promo code “BANKLESS” <a href= "https://bankless.cc/smartcon">https://bankless.cc/smartcon</a> ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🌱 LENS | ACCESS CODE: MERGE (only valid for 24 hours!) <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lens">https://bankless.cc/Lens</a> 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/RocketPool">https://bankless.cc/RocketPool</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> 🌉 JUNO | BRIDGE FIAT TO LAYER 2 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Juno">https://bankless.cc/Juno</a> ⚡️ ZKSYNC | THE LAYER 2 SCALING ENDGAME <a href= "https://bankless.cc/zkSync">https://bankless.cc/zkSync</a> ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 9:28 MEV Explained & Its Importance 13:35 The Evil Side of MEV 21:26 MEV Utopia vs. Dystopia 28:54 Competitiveness, Market Structure, Equilibrium 32:10 MEV Supply Chain Crashcourse 37:24 Timeline 38:56 Flashbots Thesis 42:31 No MEV Geth Scenario 45:15 Flashbots Continued 49:10 Solutions 51:15 MEV Boost 1:00:18 MEV Boost Adoption 1:05:10 Differences in Staking APY 1:08:20 Flashbots Incentives 1:12:57 Infinite Problems to be Solved? 1:14:35 PBS 1:17:54 Relayer Role 1:20:05 Weird MEV Potential Merge Issues? 1:22:40 Byproducts of MEV Boost 1:27:17 New Builder Market Speculation 1:31:15 Stephane’s Optimism 1:32:55 Closing & Disclaimer ------ Resources: Stephane Gosselin <a href= "https://twitter.com/thegostep">https://twitter.com/thegostep</a> MEV-Boost in a Nutshell <a href= "https://boost.flashbots.net/">https://boost.flashbots.net/</a> Flashbots Blog Posts <a href= "https://writings.flashbots.net/writings">https://writings.flashbots.net/writings</a> Guide to Ethereum Roadmap <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/guide-to-the-ethereum-roadmap-jon#details"> https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/guide-to-the-ethereum-roadmap-jon#details</a> Ethereum’s Hidden Power Structure <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/125-matt-cutler#details">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/125-matt-cutler#details</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.

132 - Polynya's Crypto Thesis

This conversation has been a long time coming. Polynya is a pseudonymous writer, investor, and crypto researcher. Polynya coined the term “modular blockchain” and has been influential on 100 different crypto topics, most notably on rollups, though they’re quick to point out that rollups are no longer their main focus. This is a unique episode, in which Bankless DAO’s Eureka John acts out Polynya’s voice based on a 5-hour text-based discord interview.

Cryptographer David Chaum | Layer Zero

David Chaum is a computer scientist and an OG member of the cryptography community. His innovation has driven much of the mathematical foundation of cryptocurrency, and he continues to work on projects like xx Network. In 1985, David issued this warning to the public: “Computerization is robbing individuals of the ability to monitor and control the ways information about them is used. Already, public and private sector organizations acquire extensive personal information and exchange it amongst themselves… The automation of payment and other consumer transactions is expanding these dangers to an unprecedented extent.” In today’s surveillance capitalism, it’s clear that we need cryptography now more than ever. ------ 📣 Forta | Help Make Web3 a Safer Place <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Forta">https://bankless.cc/Forta</a> ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/RocketPool">https://bankless.cc/RocketPool</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> ❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Across">https://bankless.cc/Across</a> 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> 🌴 MAKER DAO | DECENTRALIZED LENDING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO">https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO</a> 🔐 LEDGER | SECURE STAKING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Ledger">https://bankless.cc/Ledger</a> ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 6:00 David Chaum 11:30 60s Technology 20:00 60s Culture 23:55 A New Direction in Cryptography 33:30 The Fork in the Road 41:50 Minimum Disclosure 48:25 Traffic Analysis 56:05 Surveillance Capitalism 1:02:00 The State of Data Today 1:12:00 New Ideas and Society 1:15:40 Advice to Crypto ------ Resources: David on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/chaumdotcom?s=20&t=u3ULosGOPIOTPZobdnMKkw"> https://twitter.com/chaumdotcom?s=20&t=u3ULosGOPIOTPZobdnMKkw</a> David’s Website: <a href="https://chaum.com/">https://chaum.com/</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.

DeFi Didn't Break with Dan Morehead & Joey Krug

Many things have broken in the last few months during crypto's bear market. However, DeFi didn't break. Dan Morehead and Joey Krug explain why. Dan founded Pantera in 2003, then pivoted into cryptocurrency in 2013 and went all in on crypto, and is the firm's CEO. Joey joined Pantera in 2017 as co-CIO and is a seasoned builder/investor in the crypto space. Both repeat Bankless guests and both know more than a thing or two about crypto and investing. ------ 📣Rhino.Fi | Massive Mystery Airdrop <a href= "https://bit.ly/3o9trRE">https://bit.ly/3o9trRE</a> ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: <a href= "https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/">https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/</a> 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: <a href= "http://podcast.banklesshq.com/">http://podcast.banklesshq.com/</a> ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🌱 LENS | ACCESS CODE: WAGMI <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Lens">https://bankless.cc/Lens</a> 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING <a href= "https://bankless.cc/RocketPool">https://bankless.cc/RocketPool</a> ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Brave">https://bankless.cc/Brave</a> 🌉 JUNO | BRIDGE FIAT TO LAYER 2 <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Juno">https://bankless.cc/Juno</a> ⚡️ ZKSYNC | THE LAYER 2 SCALING ENDGAME <a href= "https://bankless.cc/zkSync">https://bankless.cc/zkSync</a> ------ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 6:15 The Past Few Months 10:28 Crypto's 2008 Moment 12:40 The Mainstream Media Story 16:45 CeFi vs. DeFi Confusion 21:45 Media Incentives 24:00 DeFi vs. Wall Street 30:45 DeFi is Too Referential Critique 33:38 DeFi Worked Great 37:05 Transparency Thoughts 43:15 2008 Prevented with DeFi? 49:35 Educating Retail 53:39 Was This Surprising? 55:00 Quick Macro Takes 58:20 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Dan Morehead <a href= "https://twitter.com/dan_pantera">https://twitter.com/dan_pantera</a> Joey Krug <a href= "https://twitter.com/joeykrug">https://twitter.com/joeykrug</a> DeFi Worked Great <a href= "https://panteracapital.com/blockchain-letter/defi-worked-great/">https://panteracapital.com/blockchain-letter/defi-worked-great/</a> Pantera <a href= "https://panteracapital.com/">https://panteracapital.com/</a> ----- Not financial or tax advice.
