Today we are chatting with Alex Salnikov, Co-founder of Rarible.We learn about the early days of Rarible, starting with the launch of their easy-to-use NFT minting platform that allowed anyone to create them. Alex says, at that time, you either had to be a developer or be vetted by the marketplace to mint NFTs.Throughout my conversation with Alex, I realize this consideration for accessibility drives a lot of their innovations.This has inspired it to become a first-of-its-kind aggregated marketplace for Ethereum NFTs and, more recently, to launch community marketplaces. This last one seems to have resonated with many popular collections and creators who launched marketplaces powered by Rarible.As always, there are lots to unpack here, so let’s get started.

Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens.
Today we are chatting with Evin McMullen, Co-founder of Disco.
In our conversation, we look back at young Evin, presenting to her parents about the fair use statute and why her use of platforms like Napster and Limewire constituted an educational, non-commercial use case. Her fascination with data freedoms, creative commons and MIT licenses continued in her undergraduate studies, where she worked with professors and fell deeper into the rabbit hole of identities across different digital platforms.
Evin has tons of experience in web3, including almost five years at Consensys, where she worked on Ethereum ecosystem development and where, as she says, "she solidified a lot of the ideas she has and philosophies that she holds about identities as they can exist in web3."
Anyone who has met Evin knows she isn't just brilliant but capable of breaking down complex subjects into fun, accessible bits, and this interview is no different.
We talk about surveillance capitalism, self-sovereign identities, self-custody of our traits beyond financial data, selective disclosure, and so much more.
To learn more about Evin and Disco, you can follow them on Twitter @ provenauthority and disco.xyz, respectively.

On today's episode, we are with Chris Castig, Co-founder of Console. We start with an exploration of Chris' crypto journey, which began when he learned of Napster (the p2p file sharing application) and soon after Bitcoin. As a musician, he then describes those innovative technologies as inspirational in his decision to study new media, specifically distributed systems culture.Furthermore, Chris is extending those values with Console, a community chat app where you own your identity, data and decentralized chat.Additionally, it uses Signal-level protocol to protect your privacy on the app. Beyond self-sovereignty and privacy, Console seeks to reduce the noise from apps like Telegram and Discord to provide a better experience for DAOs and web3 communities.And it is now in closed beta to co-build with the district. As always, lots to unpack here, so let's get started.To learn more about Chris and Console, you can follow them on Twitter @castig and @consoledao, respectively.

Today we are chatting with Zakk, a core contributor at Coordinape.
Coordinape spreads decision-making power to the fringes, giving everyone in an organization an opportunity to recognize and reward their peers.
According to Zakk, leaving a note to people you recognize on Coordinape has become an important intrinsic motivator. "People might forget how many give they got or who they allocated to, but they always know exactly how many notes they got and who they got them from."
That feedback makes people feel valued.
About building in web3, Zakk says, "we can make it reflect the system that we want to participate in. We can create systems that better reflect our values."
To learn more about Zakk and Coordinape, you can follow them on Twitter at fifthworldzach and Coordinape, respectively.

Today we are chatting with Alex Poon, cofounder of Charmverse. This conversation touches on Charmverse, of course, but it is also a good resource to understand product development.Alex, a 3-time founder, tells us he and his team tried 50 things before they arrived at the product we see today. He describes the role leaders play in fostering new ideas as well as building trust in teams. Alex compares Charmverse to platforms like Discord and the improvements they seek to make to enable better coordination and collaboration, in some cases optimizing for simplicity and speed to help people solve problems quickly. About the user interface, he describes the importance of building a product that provides a beautiful, connected experience, so users don't have to go back and forth to different places. Finally, he describes the unified product strategy for using web3 applications like Snapshot on Charmverse.That's a wrap!To learn more about Alex and Charmverse, you can follow them on Twitter at alexpoon_hk and CharmVerse.And please don't forget to like and subscribe wherever you are listening to this podcast.

Today we are talking with David Phelps, co-creator of JokeDAO, EcoDAO, and Cowfund. He's also a writer and steward at Gitcoin. David has often been interviewed about jokeDAO, so we skip much of that discussion and instead cover a wide range of topics, including DAO culture, 100xing Twitter, web3 memes, and collaborative creation. On that last one, David later tweeted that one mistake of 2021 was assuming that co-purchasing creates communities; no relationship works like that. Instead, you play board games, sing karaoke together, share life stories, cry, laugh, and say you love each other. And that's what DAOs need. There is so much to unpack in this conversation, so let's get started. If you want to learn more about David and the projects he is building, you can follow him on Twitter @ divine_economy where you can also find the link to his blog.

Welcome to Crypto Sapiens Network Sponsored by Otterspace.Today we are talking with Tony Herrera, Founder of PaisanoDAO and member of Neon DAO, ReadyPlayerDAO, and WAGMI United.Tony talks about his background as an immigrant activist and how working in that field led him to discover Bitcoin and, eventually, Ethereum.He also shares his early interest in DAOs as an ICO investor in Aragon. Anyone who knows Tony knows that he has long been onboarding new people to web3 and that ENS domains have long played a big part in it. He often gives ENS domains as a way to make crypto more fun and accessible.Furthermore, he shares other tools he uses for onboarding: Metamask and Ethereum. While these probably are not what most people would think of first, he sees the importance of helping people understand how these work to have a good foundation from which to continue learning.Tony founded PaisanoDAO to engage underrepresented communities, particularly women and people of color. He classified it as an impact DAO.PaisanoDAO often hosts workshops and other educational events, including two regular series on Twitter Spaces: NFTs in Español and Frecuensia Paisana. It was important to Tony that the DAO would not grow dependent on him, so he stepped away early. Now the DAO is in the hands of core contributors who continue to nurture the values and mission developed with Tony.He says We must build DAOs whose message and mission resonate with their community.There is a lot to unpack in this episode. So let's get started.
That's a wrap. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Tony. If you'd like to connect with Tony, you can find him on Twitter @tonyherrera And to learn more about PaisanoDAO, go to paisanodao.xyz and on Twitter at @ paisanodaoAs a final note, this episode is the final recording from our LIVE events hosted on Twitter Spaces. Future episodes will include videos and be released on YouTube and other social channels. I hope you will continue to listen and enjoy these thoughtful discussions.
We’re thrilled to be sponsored by Otterspace who are busy making Web3 less financialized.
Their protocol and app let communities build and issue badges to members to represent things like levels, roles, achievements, membership, and skills.
We’re excited about badges because they are earned, not bought. They are non-tradable coordination primitive for communities.
You can use badges for governance in Snapshot, token gating with Guild, and you can build your own custom extensions with their composable tools.

Web3 Identity is a new Crypto Sapiens series that features discussions with key builders from across the web3 landscape including Gitcoin, BrightID, DAOHaus, Orange Protocol and more to demystify the emerging topic of self-sovereign identity and reputation.
