Today's guest goes by SalmanNeedsAJob on socials. He joined BanklessDAO in late 2021 and has been deeply involved in the community and multiple projects for over a year.

A couple of notes before we jump into the episode: Our conversation was recorded in December 2022 so a couple of relative date references are off. Also since then, Salman has launched an “India Blockchain Week” series on his own channel covering various web3 topics over a number of interviews at ETH India, as well as adjacent events that took place in the city of Bangalore.

He has also completed the DAO Punks cohort that we discuss in this episode, launched his Juicebox campaign, and has since been selected as one of the community grant recipients on DAO Drops, a first-of-its-kind retroactive public goods funding initiative by dOrg and the Ethereum Foundation.

And finally, we refer to several colleagues using some shorthand. “NF” is NFThinker. Jaris is Jaris James, and Ernest is Ernest of Gaia. All all core contributors at BanklessDAO.

This conversation was recorded in December 2022.
