The Edge Podcast

Proph3t is the anonymous Founder of MetaDAO. In this episode, we discuss one of our favorite trending projects in crypto, MetaDAO, and why the world needs decision-making markets. Inspired by American economist Robert Hanson who proposed the idea back in 2000 to "vote on values, but bet on beliefs," MetaDAO is the first project to put this into practice, where anyone can create, manage, and participate in futarchies. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@defidad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn about DeFi and Web3: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ☀️ SUMMER.FI | THE BEST PLACE TO BORROW AND EARN IN DEFI 🧙 MERLIN CHAIN | THE RISE OF BITCOIN'S LARGEST LAYER 2 🔥 FBTC | YOUR GATEWAY TO BITCOIN EARNINGS 🍵 MATCHA | THE BEST PRICE ON OVER 5 MILLION TOKENS 🐡 PUFFER FINANCE | LIQUID RESTAKING FOR THE LITTLE FISH 🌕 MOONBEAM | INTEGRATED WEB3 FOR BUILDERS AND USERS ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 3:39 - Founding MetaDAO 5:33 - What is futarchy? 9:00 - Why does Web3 need futarchy? 10:46 - MetaDAO vs Futarchy Protocol 11:24 - Example of decision market for Uniswap fee switch 15:01 - Who are early users of MetaDAO? 16:29 - Could futarchy work for Aave listing collaterals? 19:54 - Comparing MetaDAO vs Polymarket 23:50 - FBTC mid-roll 24:32 - Are MetaDAO decision markets normally a blind bet? 27:43 - Lessons from early users 30:01 - State of MetaDAO expansion 32:30 - What new ideas are being built on decision markets? 34:49 - Drawbacks to this decision markets 38:17 - Manipulation is possible, but not easy 42:50 - Moonbeam mid-roll 43:35 - Feedback from Robin Hanson for MetaDAO 46:30 - Closing 47:09 - MetaDAO to go fully permissionless? ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► MetaDAO Website: https://metadao.fi/ ► MetaDAO on Twitter: https://x.com/MetaDAOproject ► Proph3t on Twitter: https://x.com/metaproph3t ► Proph3t's post on MetaDAO: https://x.com/metaproph3t/status/1819173856487395643 ► Robin Hanson's Futarchy Manifesto: https://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/futarchy.html ------ If you're a DeFi/Web3 builder, contact our team at: https://fourthrevolution.capital/ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions and not necessarily those of Fourth Revolution Capital.
