Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix, joins Pragma New York 2023 for a deep fireside chat exploring the evolving landscape of DeFi. In this conversation, Kain reflects on how decentralized finance has matured, the transition from yield farming to sustainable protocols, and the real-world potential of permissionless markets. He discusses Layer 2s, DEX vs CEX dynamics, real-world asset integration, and the growing complexity of governance, including Synthetix’s unique council model and the launch of Infinex. Whether you're a founder building in a bear market or a TradFi veteran curious about crypto’s next frontier, this is a must-watch for understanding what’s next in DeFi and how user experience and infrastructure are aligning for mass adoption. 00:00 Intro to Kain Warwick and Synthetix 00:36 How DeFi has changed in the last 5 years 01:49 Layer 2s unlock DeFi innovation 02:55 DeFi’s perp protocols and CEX competition 04:37 From Ponzi yields to real protocol revenue 06:02 Feature parity between DeFi and TradFi 07:00 Novel opportunities DeFi can unlock 08:01 Real world assets and tokenized finance 09:30 Will DeFi apps spin out into app chains? 10:56 Managing liquidity and revenue across chains 11:56 App chain pros and cons for DeFi governance 13:21 Why L2 fragmentation is inevitable 14:18 EVM compatibility and dydx leaving Ethereum 15:52 Synthetix vs CEX: liquidity and market coverage 17:27 UX and onboarding are DeFi’s bottlenecks 18:56 Users still live on centralized exchanges 20:19 Infinex: improving UX for Synthetix trading 21:19 Synthetix V3 enables permissionless markets 22:46 Building financial primitives faster with V3 23:18 Synthetix council governance model 24:52 Measuring governance success in DAOs 26:18 Specialized councils and governance mining 27:51 Earning governance from trading activity 28:20 Risks of going fully decentralized 29:22 Regulatory resistance through decentralization 30:58 Advice for founders building in bear markets 32:30 Bear markets are ideal for wild experimentation 34:31 Advice for TradFi professionals entering DeFi 36:05 How to out-innovate slow incumbents 37:35 Don’t believe the “AMMs are solved” psyop 38:01 Final thoughts and closing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇺🇸 *Pragma New York* The fifth edition of Pragma took place in New York in September 2023 with a curated series of high-quality talks that sparked thought and discussion.

Ethereum Denver · Oct 9, 2023

In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of Web stream, a decentralized protocol that is gaining traction in the Webster space. Join us as we explore how machines and devices are being incentivized with tokens to provide utility such as energy storage, data collection, and wireless connectivity. This innovative concept, known as dipping, combines elements of D5, crypto, web3, and the real-world economy. We'll discuss how this bridging of two worlds has the potential to revolutionize the web series industry. Stay tuned for an in-depth analysis of Web stream's features and its implications for the future. #Webstream #Decentralization #buidl #ethdenver #iotex TLDR: DEPIN is a decentralized protocol that incentivizes the deployment of machines and devices to produce utility and appreciate token value, offering developer-friendly, trustworthy, and user-owned composability for large volumes of data and verifiable smart contract proofs. 00:00 🚀 DEPIN is a decentralized protocol that bridges D5, crypto, and web3 with the real world economy, incentivizing people to deploy machines and devices to produce utility and appreciate token value, with innovative examples of wireless connectivity networks, location services, and sensor networks being developed. 03:27 📈 New DEPIN projects have similar tech architecture with centralized servers, which have trust and privacy issues, leading to the need for a decentralized solution. 05:03 🚀 DEPIN is a new decentralized protocol that offers developer-friendly, trustworthy, and user-owned composability for large volumes of data and verifiable smart contract proofs, with a web stream launch upcoming and information for developers and users provided. 07:16 💻 Use the provided SDK to develop a DEPIN device, define token economics like writing a smart contract, and emit data to a smart contract for rewards and incentives. 10:20 👉 Working with pioneers in Philippine projects, including Health blocks incentivizing workouts and sleep, Strive to Earn providing driving data for insurance discounts, and a data collection project. 11:44 📈 DEPIN is developing decentralized 5G networks, energy storage networks, and a decentralized bundler for web streams, while two other projects in the ecosystem are collecting weather and air quality data to create user-owned data products. 13:38 👀 Join the upcoming event to see top DPM projects and VCS, including DEPIN's partner demo showcasing real hardware and iotex team's new protocol launching its devnet. 15:57 💡 Oracle and DEPIN have different specialties, with Oracle focusing on delivering high-value data and DEPIN on computing large volumes of low-value data.

Protocol Berg · Sep 15, 2023

The Department of Decentralization welcomes you to Protocol Berg! We briefly run you through the concept of the event and the program highlights of the day. Furthermore, we share logistical and operational tips on how to navigate the venue, information on food and drinks, and more. The video is an introduction to the first iteration of Protocol Berg, a one-day conference focused on decentralized protocols and infrastructure. The hosts welcome attendees to the event, emphasizing its unique approach to content, which excludes marketing-focused talks and product presentations in favor of technological discussions and learning opportunities. The event brings together people from various ecosystems within the decentralized space to exchange ideas and solutions without any maximalist attitudes. Key points include: - Protocol Berg aims to foster unity and exchange between different decentralized ecosystems. - The event is free of charge, organized by volunteers, and avoids sponsorships to maintain independence. - Attendees are encouraged to be respectful and focus on learning rather than business development or marketing. - Practical information about Wi-Fi access, agenda locations, food options, and venue navigation is provided. - The conference features curated talks selected for their informational value and relevance. - There's a reminder about the closing ceremony at 7:30 p.m., where further insights into the philosophy behind Protocol Berg will be shared.
