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.

Contribution Management & Bear Market DAOs | Aaron Soskin -Founder at Govrn
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Friday Sep 02, 2022
As Aaron puts it, the ultimate usage of DAOs is self-organizing and self-governance. If this concept is applied to our everyday lives, then we would truly be using this technology to its full potential.
This eventually led to him launching Govrn, a platform where you can track, record and manage your DAO contributions.Aaron believes DAOs are not made up of people but instead contributions. And that these contributions belong to individual contributors and not the DAO.Govrn allows you to verify your ownership of your contributions across DAOs.I hope you will enjoy this conversation with Aaron as much as I did. I'm personally very excited to see Govrn continue developing their contribution graph. It has the potential to unlock rich and dynamic experiences for DAO contributors. If you’d like to connect with Aaron, you can find him on Twitter @ AaronSoskin.And to learn more about Govrn, go to Govrn.io and on Twitter at @ GovrnHQThanks for listening to Crypto Sapiens.

Connecting Communities | Niran - Founder, Panvala
Friday Aug 26, 2022
Friday Aug 26, 2022
Today we are talking to Niran, Founder of Panvala.
We begin our conversation with a brief introduction to Niran and his crypto journey thus far. He recalls his initial thoughts of Ethereum, and crypto as a whole was not very positive. It wasn’t until he learned of Augur that he began to understand the possibilities of crypto and began to contribute to it. This eventually led him down the Ethereum rabbit hole as he realized that Ethereum was a tool that allows for “rules to be written for any interaction between individuals or groups of people, like the rules for a board game. Except this game does not need an intermediary, or game master, because the network (the computers around the world) are promising to be an impartial game master for any rules you publish on the network.” This made him wonder, what should we do with the technology if we have this toolkit for economic and social coordination that unlocks better cooperation for all of mankind. Eventually leading him to develop Panvala. And set its mission, as a mass movement to reshape the way value flows in the economy to improve the stuff that we share.There are very few people that ask the types of questions that Niran does, or are able to dissect topics so precisely.I am excited to share this conversation with you; so let’s get started.I really enjoyed my chat with Niran, and I hope you did too. The Panvala movement is a crucial one, not just for the success of web3, but IMO the success of humanity as a whole.If you’d like to connect with Niran, you can find him on Twitter @ niran And to learn more about Panvala, go to panvala.com and on Twitter at @ PanvalaHQ. https://twitter.com/PanvalaHQ Thanks for listening to Crypto Sapiens.

DeSci & TalentDAO | Saulthorin - Founder TalentDAO
Monday Aug 22, 2022
Monday Aug 22, 2022
Today we are talking to BanklessChick, Core founder of talentDAO. Our conversation explores her background in research science, her contributions to Bankless DAO including being a member of their Governance Solutions Engineers, and the inspiration for launching talentDAO. BanklessChick says, “ETHDenver was where she first learned of DeSci and is where talentDAO was born; later at ETHAmsterdam is where talentDAO made its debut.”BanklessChick believes DeSci will use science to save the world, and the role of talentDAO is to make sure that DAOs are using the best science to achieve that mission.Finally, we tackle some of the diversity and inclusion issues plaguing the science community, and present opportunities for DAOs to evaluate these issues to keep from repeating them
I really enjoyed my chat with BanklessChick. I especially enjoyed our talk on human coordination, and building the tools we can't see, but know that we need.

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.

DAOhaus | DAO Tooling as a DAO with Spencer Graham
Friday Jun 24, 2022
Friday Jun 24, 2022
Welcome back to Crypto Sapiens. Today we are talking with Spencer Graham, aka spengrah. He is an early builder of DAOHaus, the no-code platform for creating and managing a DAO.
We kick off our conversation with him sharing his crypto journey starting in late 2016, ramping up in 2017, and in 2018 co-hosting the Chicago Ethereum meetup. In 2020 he attended ETH Denver, an inflexion point in his career. Leading him to join Raid Guild.
He describes joining DAOHaus, or pokemol (short for pocket Moloch) as it was called at the time, a mobile-first moloch DAO app that provided a no-code way for people to discover and create proposals, view treasuries, and summon a DAO. Eventually, a handful of people including himself developed the app into DAOHaus v2, which is the app we can all use today.
We continue our chat by reviewing the DAOHaus platform and the many features that provide a rich and nuanced experience for DAO operators and members.
There is a lot to unpack in this episode. I truly enjoyed my chat with Spencer, and I hope you did too.
If you’d like to connect with Spencer, you can find him on Twitter @ spengrah
