In today’s episode, we’re exploring the frontier of onchain universes, on Ethereum. Autonomous Worlds is the new frontier of digital onchain universes, being pioneered by the Lattice team, of which Justin Glibert on the show today is the co-founder and CEO. Ethereum is not just a financial computer, but a root of state for an infinite number of universes, all with their own laws of physics, objects, players, agents, and state… and, like our universe, still continues with, or without, our presence. Justin walks us through the evolution of Autonomous Worlds. Get ready because you're going to get a taste of where the Internet has always been pointing towards… it just took us a while to get here. ------ 📣Bankless Premium | Use Code "FEED10" https://bankless.cc/FEED10    ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo     ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum   🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🏠 CASA | SECURE YOUR GENERATIONAL WEALTH https://bankless.cc/Casa  🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku    🌐 CARTESI | APPLY FOR A GRANT https://bankless.cc/CartesiGovernance  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 2:36 Scope of Lattice 7:18 Different Affordances of Ethereum 14:21 Dark Forest 23:51 After Dark Forest 29:32 Writing Code in Assembly & Abstraction 32:42 Lattice 35:58 Games Being Built Today 43:21 Justin’s Thoughts on the “Metaverse” 51:05 Rollup & Die 55:28 Lattice’s Layer 2 1:00:13 The Future of Games 1:04:56 Onchain Native GDP 1:08:17 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Lattice https://twitter.com/latticexyz   https://lattice.xyz/   0xParc  https://twitter.com/0xPARC  https://0xparc.org/   Justin’s Twitter https://twitter.com/justinglibert   ------ Not financial or tax advice.

“The U.S. is trying to disconnect from Ethereum," that’s what Joe Lubin the CEO of Consensys said in today’s conversation. He was talking about those in power trying to unplug Ethereum from the citizens. The SEC is going after Kraken, Coinbase, Uniswap and Metamask. They’re trying to turn every non-custodial wallet into a broker-dealer. We brought on Joe Lubin, a crypto OG and CEO of Consensys the company behind a number of massive crypto projects including the popular Metamask wallet, and Matt Corva, the General Counsel at Consensys, leading the charge against the SEC  Joe and Matt are producing evidence that the SEC is coming after Ethereum itself. Sending discovery requests to Ethereum core developers, threatening their employers - pushing a coordinated effort to claim Ether is a security so they can control it. So Consensys is taking them to court to settle the issue.

Eigenlayer token details are here! Don’t call it an Airdrop - This is a Stakedrop — because that’s the only thing you can do with your EIGEN tokens out of the gate.  15% of the total Supply of Eigen distributed over multiple Seasons, Season 1 starts today with 5% of the supply, and one of the most sophisticated set of smart contracts on Mainnet. EIGEN is not your typical ERC20 token. It’s got this feature called “Intersubjective Forking” that increases the scope of what Eigenlayer can provide security for.  In addition to the token details getting released, we’re also getting the Eigen Foundation, with a new director Robert Drost - who joins Sreeram today to walk us through everything you need to know.

Erik Torenburg and Haseeb Quereshi join us for today's debate. Should we accelerate or decelerate our tech progress? How about when it comes to something as powerful as AI? This is not just a debate in tech circles - this is a political debate that poised to define the next decade.  We’ve had leaders from both sides of the debate on the podcast - episodes with Elizer Yudkowski and Beff Jezos. You’ve heard what they think. Today’s episode is a discussion and at times a debate on these opinions to help you think through where you stand on this issue - Haseeb Quereshi tends toward the EA side which favors more caution and regulatory intervention around AI while Erik Torenburg tends toward the e/acc side of the issue which favors faster progress and lighter touch. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ 🔐 SAFE | USE SAFE, GET REWARDED.

Today’s episode is about exploring the frontier of tokens on Bitcoin with guest Casey Rodarmor. Casey is the creator of the Ordinals Protocol, a harmless protocol that simply allowed for arbitrary data to be inscribed into individual Bitcoin UTXOs, creating what are called Bitcoin NFTs. He is now also the creators of Runes, a second protocol, working to bring fungible tokens to Bitcoin.  Bitcoin is changing and Casey appears to be one of main reasons for the change. Soon he’ll be unveiling a new protocol standard for Bitcoin - called Runes, which wants to be a bitcoin-native version of fungible tokens, on the Bitcoin L1 - which is going to be the topic of the show today. ------ 📣 PERMISSIONLESS III | BUY TICKETS NOW  Bankless Citizens get 30% off: https://www.bankless.com/tools/perks  Use BANKLESS10 for 10% off: https://bankless.cc/PermissionlessIII  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠  🔗CELO | CEL2 COMING SOON https://bankless.cc/Celo  🔐 SAFE | ATTEND SAFE{CON} https://bankless.cc/SafeCon  ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum   🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🗣️TOKU | CRYPTO EMPLOYMENT SOLUTION https://bankless.cc/toku  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:00 The Guy Who Changed Bitcoin 10:21 Why Casey’s Building 16:45 Ordinals Cultural Shift 22:43 Runes 31:40 The Ord Standard  45:27 Bitcoin Blocks & Blockspace Limit 57:47 Bitcoin Innovation Implications  1:02:41 Rune Parameters 1:11:20 The First Runes (Uncommon Goods)  1:14:34 Timeline on Runes & Trading Ecosystem 1:17:12 The Future of Runes/Ordinals 1:19:48 The Bitcoin Renaissance  1:21:34 Winning Over Bitcoin Maximalists 1:23:45 Casey’s Podcast     1:24:58 Runes Team 1:26:37 Closing & Disclaimers    ------ RESOURCES Casey’s 1st Bankless Episode  https://youtu.be/ktL77zEWcEc  Casey’s Twitter https://twitter.com/rodarmor   Casey’s Hellmoney Podcast  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflejnUswWof6yEMk9dRzOA  ------ Not financial or tax advice.
