Nansen: Crypto by the Numbers ft. Alex Svanevik and Bew

In this new and absolutely incredible episode of GWY, we sit down with one of the founders of Parallel as well as a member of the Echelon Foundation. We start by discussing what Parallel is and how Kalos feels about its overwhelming success so far. We then move onto the question of how Parallel will overcome any NFT/crypto related resistance from traditional gamers as well as  what scaling looks like for Parallel as the game expands. This leads into a talk about how they plan to incentivize and reward new players to the ecosystem. Next we discuss how Parallel can utilize both traditional revenue models such as a Game Pass, and new Web3 only revenue models such as unique sinks. We end the Parallel discussion by talking about how it's the first actual digitally verifiably rare trading card game. 

But Parallel TCG isn't the only game the studio is building. We dive deep into Colony, the AI game being built by the studio that they call the first ever 1.5 player video game. We discuss how the AI here isn't a gimmick as with other companies, but it is a technology that creates a purely unique experience that touches our humanity, so much so that players who have played it hate any new updates because it means the "death," as they call it, of their old AI companion. Colony is able to utilize AI that refines your gaming experience through memory and lived experience. Kalos gives us many crazy stories of AI creating/coding items that did not exist in the game before, AI becoming musicians and being able to ask the for the sheet music, and AI thinking they've gone crazy. We end the Colony discussion by talking about avatars role in Colony and what future scaling could look like. Finally, Kalos gives us some release dates on the next biggest things coming for Parallel.

In this latest episode, I talk to the founder of the awesome new options protocol, Valorem. We discuss why Valorem and an options market of this level should and needs to exist for DeFi to take the next step. Next, we get into how Valorem can become an essential money lego on Ethereum, and how it can offer opportunities for more and higher yield in DeFi. We spend a good amount of time talking 'Why Valorem' such as how it differs from other options protocols on the scene right now,  what about its technology stands out, and how it will offer the best experience for beginner and advanced users. Alcibiades offers a plethora of information on the protocol and it's options platform, much of which is above my head but due to his great explanations I'm able to follow along anyway. We end with future plans for Valorem and much alpha about the road map and vision for the protocol. Finally, we talk markets and where we will go from here, and if the bulla is back on. Don't sleep!

In our new GoodWill Yunting episode, we invite back on our old friends Anon Intern and Bruce from Apollo DAO. Apollo was originally built on Terra but since the crash they have regrouped and built out an exciting new protocol on the Cosmos chain. We begin by talking about why they originally chose to build out in the Luna chain. They discuss the opportunity they saw of bringing and capturing value to a new, budding ecosystem despite knowing the risks of the algorithmic stable coin. After the downfall of Luna, they didn’t give up but instead decided to build out a new and upgraded protocol on Cosmos using all they had learned. They discuss why they chose to build out on Cosmos SDK, what opportunities they see there, and all the exciting projects being created and utilized in the ecosystem. We get into the first product launched on Apollo, leveraged LP vaults. Discussing the leveraged LP vaults, it becomes clear why it’s a great foundational building block for the platform and the Cosmos ecosystem in whole, such as how leveraged LP positions create a new level of customization and management for Liquidity Providing users. Finally, we end on some alpha on what’s to come in the short term for Apollo along with their ambitious long-term visions on how they want to build out in a number of different ways to serve users, the Cosmos ecosystem, and token holders.

In this episode, we sit down with Art Blocks Curated artist James Merrill to talk all things generative art and NFTs. We begin by getting into James' background when it comes to generative art and blockchain. We discuss the history of generative art and how NFTs have furthered and advanced it. Next, we talk about how art is a representation of a culture and its times, and how generative art speaks to our time and culture. Of course, it's hard to talk the future of NFTs without talking about gaming, so we get into gamers' thoughts on NFTs and what pieces of the picture they might be missing. After that, we dive into the intersection between art and technology and what the future of generative art looks like. We end with the all to important royalties discussion, and what royalties actually mean for an artist like James to make a living. Don't sleep on this fascinating episode with an excellent artist!

Back for another episode of your favorite crypto podcast, I’m joined by Bew to talk to the big brain himself, Pacman of Blur. If you don’t know Blur, your head must be buried deep inside the sand because it is the hottest, and most controversial, NFT marketplace to recently hit the scene. In this episode, we discuss why Pacman decided to build Blur, and as an NFT trader where he felt other marketplaces such as OpenSea fell short. Of course, we get into all the ins and outs of the controversies, misconceptions, and FUD around Blur and how it is affecting the NFT landscape. The tokenomics of Blur is a point of interest as we discuss how projects such as Blur can use tokens to help steal market share and create stickiness for their own platform. Getting into the technical side of things, we talk about the decisions around building an orderbook-style liquidity model for Blur and how this model affects how NFTs are seen and traded by collectors and traders alike. Alongside this discussion, the realization comes that Blur has shined a light on the different types of NFT market participants, including some that were hidden in the shadows to many. It wouldn’t be a good NFT chat without discussing royalties, so we get into the history of royalties within NFT marketplaces, Blur’s stance on NFT royalties, and philosophical and personal musing on the value and future of royalties. This was an incredible episode that you don’t want to miss. Tune in for all the info and alpha.

In this latest episode of GoodWill Yunting, we talk all thing crypto regulation and politics with Adam of Tessera. We get in depth on the current regulatory and political landscape surrounding crypto. We talk the Biden administration’s stance, how Gary and the SEC views crypto, and the common misconceptions about crypto from media portrayal. Bew and I ask how can the tide change when it comes to shifting the view of crypto in the eyes of the SEC and politicians alike. We discuss how harnessing the grass-roots nature of crypto can be a powerful tool to help move the industry forward for the better in the eyes of regulators and politicians. Of course, we can’t talk regulation without discussing FTX and Luna and the coming repercussions of those blowups. Adam drops a bomb on Bew that blows his mind for the rest of the episode as well. We dive deep into some of the latest crypto regulation cases and actions such as Kraken, Ripple, stablecoins and more. This episode is filled with tons of insight into the future of politics and regulation around crypto, and what we as an industry can do to fight back. Don’t sleep on this brilliant episode!

In this episode, we talk about a project we have been working on for a long time at Yunt Capital, The Pond. We are super excited to announce the release of The Pond, a media platform built by a community of crypto natives to share and document the collective experience of working and interacting within Web3.

http://thepond.wtf

The Pond allows us to fold in new writers and content creators to expand our areas of expertise and the amount of incredible content we can offer. Ultimately, we hope this grassroots initiative becomes a space for us to share ideas. We aim for The Pond to be a full-stack Web3 content hub where we’re looking to publish the best writers and content producers in the space to drop knowledge about crypto, NFTs, and Web3 gaming. It’s going to be a place where anyone from the noobiest noobs to the in-the-trenches degens can come to read up on what’s happening and what’s coming in crypto.
