In this episode, we talked with Jesse Keogh, the Founder of Rakeoff, a user-friendly staking platform built on the Internet Computer Blockchain that recently won first prize in the Encode X DFINITY Hackathon.Rakeoff is built around cryptocurrency staking. Staking is the process of locking up your cryptocurrency tokens to either secure that particular cryptocurrency's network and/or to participate in the governance (voting on the future) of that network, in return you earn rewards (more tokens). Rakeoff use the ICP cryptocurrency and you can stake the ICP token to participate in governance of the ICP network. By staking ICP you earn new ICP tokens, a popular dApp that let's you manage this whole process would be the Network Nervous System dApp↗️.The problemsThe staking process on the NNS is complex.Staking rewards are low unless you stake 1000's of ICP tokens.Limited disbursement options (you just earn the ICP token).Rakeoff's solutionsA simplified and streamlined way to stake your ICP tokens and earn ICP staking (governance) rewards. We've abstracted away all the extra nitty gritty stuff.ICP's first no-loss prize pool. You may earn just 1 ICP a month or 1 ICP every few months from your stake, so the prize pool in Rakeoff is this new idea of pooling your low amount of newly created tokens with other users so you can try win big! 1 entry into the prize pool costs 1 ICP (so you need at least 1 ICP in staking rewards to participate) and it works like a raffle - so randomly, after some time has passed, 1 user who entered wins the whole pool.Directly swap your ICP staking rewards into ckBTC. This uses our in-built smart contract swap to give you an equivalent amount of ckBTC. Opting to convert your ICP rewards into ckBTC not only allows you to accumulate one of the crypto world's most sought-after assets but also offers the advantage of holding a highly liquid and renowned digital currency.All the info about Rakeoff:https://docs.rakeoff.io/welcome/about-rakeoff

In this episode, we discuss with Dima Matison, the CEO and Co-Founder of Allkinds.Allkinds is a web3 protocol that enables individuals to build personal profiles of values and interests, empowering them to discover like-minded individuals or organizations. Allkinds enables users to discover precisely aligned like-minded individuals or organizations. How it works: When we meet new people, we often begin by asking questions. Through this process, we learn from each other and try to understand one another. Based on the answers, we determine whether this person is the right one to build a relationship with or not. Allkinds operates in a similar manner. Users can anonymously ask questions in a yes/no format about what they consider important or interesting. They answer these questions themselves, indicating the importance of each question with a +/- number. These questions are then shared with people around the user, who can respond to them and ask their own questions. How Allkinds is different and why web3 People are matched on what they consider important?Individuals are matched based on what they personally consider important. Unlike existing matching services that rely on predefined factors, Allkinds takes into account the unique values and priorities of each individual. While AI can analyze our digital footprints, it cannot capture the deep insights and personal reflections that only individuals themselves can provide. Dima Matison:

S1 Ep 34Interview with Rick Porter - Co-Founder and CEO at DSCVR (Discover)

In this episode we discuss with the Co-Founder and CEO at DSCVR (Discover), Rick Porter.DSCVR is a decentralized social content platform running on the Internet Computer blockchain where users control not only the content, but also the platform itself. Powered end-to-end by the IC blockchain, DSCVR delivers a fast web experience while enabling community-based governance.DSCVR empowers its users to direct such decisions by establishing governance rights that are represented by two native tokens, each representing 50 percent of the voting rights: Social tokens and Service tokens.One of the greatest preconceptions about dapps is that they are necessarily slow, yet using DSCVR feels unmistakably fast, no different than Reddit. But in contrast, DSCVR envisions a different, decentralized future — one that puts power in the hands of the user community and allows it to guide the direction of the platform. Governance will be crucial to realizing this future, with two main concepts:Users earn governance rights via tokens. With these rights, they can make product decisions to guide the direction of the platform.Users earn tokens via upvotes. Users earn governance rights and tokens by receiving upvotes on posts, comments, and portals they manage and create. In essence, DSCVR’s most valuable and dedicated community members will decide its future.DSCVR: https://dscvr.one/DSCVR Twitter: https://twitter.com/DSCVR1?s=20Rick Porter Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-porter-b6b22212Rick Porter Twitter: https://twitter.com/rckprtr?s=20

The auto-regulation is enforced through a scheme of incentives:Every user starts with at least 1000 cycles minted for 1 XDR in ICP.Every mutable operation on Taggr burns user's cycles.Users earn or lose "karma" by writing posts and getting reactions and comments.Users can mint new cycles at any point paying at least 1 XDR in ICP.All ICPs go to Taggr's Treasury, which is split weekly among all users with positive weekly karma balance and Taggr's token holders.More info:
