DAO talk

Astha, Tommy, and Marco @ PolygonDAO || DAO Talk Interviews #20


Listen Later

For this DAO Talk Interview, we are joined by Astha Gupta, Tommy Olofsson, and Marco Grendel from PolygonDAO, an organization aiming to decentralize, grow and innovate the Polygon community. 

Like many DAOs, PolygonDAO is currently focused on progressively decentralizing many parts of Polygon’s ecosystem, from development to governance. But where they stand apart is in their approach. Instead of relying on tokens, Polygon is creating a reputation layer and sovereign identity solution known as Polygon ID that will be leveraged by users for governance and other activities that require personal identification.

In addition to Polygon ID, PolygonDAO acts as an end-to-end support system for early stage projects joining the space. They provide grants, technical support, networking, job boards, and more in order to onboard and support projects on the chain.

Turning away from PolygonDAO specifically, we discuss the pros and cons of crypto’s always-on nature, what needs to be done to make crypto more user friendly, and the draw of constant challenge. We also touch on DAO tooling, work-life balance, and the squad tells us about their favorite places in the world.
