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.

Saturday Dec 17, 2022
Saturday Dec 17, 2022
I am your host, Humpty Calderon.Today we are chatting with Khori Whittaker, Executive Director of ENS.We open with an introduction to Khori, including his work in the education space. We discuss the importance of communicating the ideas and values of web3 and DAOs, to people outside our circle of crypto enthusiasts and advocates. Khori says, "we need to surface use cases that the world needs." In addition, he adds, "we need to create onramps with practical use cases," And quotes ENS as one of these. ENS as our digital identity makes interacting with crypto much more interesting, easier and fun. Lastly, we close on a discussion about the proposal that the ENS DAO community voted on to elect fund managers to manage the ENS Endowment.

Contextualizing User Data in Web3 |Henry Lee, Co-founder of Noox
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
Tuesday Nov 08, 2022
Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens
Today we are chatting with Henry Lee, Co-founder of Noox, a platform where you collect achievement badges as soulbound NFTs and build your reputation.
We briefly explore his crypto journey, starting with a Layer 1 blockchain that he helped launch focusing on interoperability, where he also worked on Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credentials.
In 2021 Noox was born. Henry recalls the landscape was very much focused on NFTs then, with a few projects using transaction history to reward users, gate communities, and provide airdrops.
The vision of NOOX was to add more context to understand users in a more high-dimensional manner and evolve user tiering. They set out to find a way to contextualize user interactions and transaction data.
While the MVP looked very different than today's product, the vision was always the same: to enable data as a composable piece of the web3 ecosystem.
If you want to learn more about Henry, you can follow him on Twitter @ hihenrylee and Noox @ noox_world

DAOs For Diversity | Tony Herrera - Paisano DAO
Friday Oct 21, 2022
Friday Oct 21, 2022
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.
If you’ve been thinking about how to run non-financial governance, represent roles and permissions on-chain, or recognize contributions via social recognition, check out Otterspace at otterspace_xyz on Twitter or at otterspace.xyz.====

Building an NFT Project | Crypto Bushi, Co- founder DAO Punks.
Friday Sep 16, 2022
Friday Sep 16, 2022
Hello, and welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking with Crypto Bushi, Founder of DAOpunks and now also Memelord at Bankless HQ.
We start our discussion with Crypto Bushi describing how he became green pilled and joined Bankless DAO after receiving an airdrop as an early supporter of Bankless HQ. He also recalls the role Bankless DAO community members had in inspiring DAO Punks.
We talk about the manifesto which seeks to inspire a movement of CorpRats to become DAO Punks. To this effect, DAO Punks has created a grants program intended to provide individuals with the initial resources needed to take the leap and go full-time DAO.
In our conversation, we also touch on activating new joiners to a DAO, empowering new ideas, and making space for emergent leadership.
I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Crypto Bushi and Livefast. It’s great to see the organic growth of communities, and the value they unlock by empowering their members. I hope to see the flipping of more corpRATS into DAOpunks in the future.
If you’d like to connect with Crypto Bushi, you can find him on Twitter @ thecryptobushi
And to learn more about DAOPunks, go to daopunks.io and on Twitter at @ DAOpunksNFT

Decentralized VC |Fight Club - Tesa
Friday Aug 12, 2022
Friday Aug 12, 2022
Welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking to Tesa, self-described Cat Herder, at Fight Club. We start the conversation with her describing her journey to becoming a Bankless DAO member in its early days, and the role the DAO played in launching Fight Club.
This conversation was super enlightening, especially in learning about the similarities and differences between traditional venture funds and venture DAOs; from membership, deal flows, to governance.
We also discuss Fight Club’s upcoming Black Glove public mint, how you can earn your own Glove, and the launch of their 2nd educational cohort.
I really enjoyed my chat with Tesa. I especially enjoyed learning about the collaboration happening in the venture DAO ecosystem.

Canticos | Bilingual Nursery Rhymes & Kids Songs With Susie Jaramillo
Friday May 06, 2022
Friday May 06, 2022
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Crypto Sapiens. Today Humpty Calderon talks with Susie Jaramillo, Co-founder of Encantos, creators of Canticos.
In our conversation with Susie, we discuss building a brand, launching a media platform, serving bilingual, educational content to families worldwide, and what it means to bridge traditional media to Web3 using NFTs.
We explore the vision of the Canticos NFT project, including the Producers Circle, which invites holders to participate in pitches of upcoming series and virtual and in-person events that connect creators, agents, and educators to help kids learn and fulfil their potential.
This discussion is fascinating because of the target demographic of the project. Rarely do we see projects that wish to meaningfully engage our children and provide valuable, educational experiences for them.
I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as we did.
