Bankless

Index Coop is a DAO focused on making fully decentralized crypto index products, like the DPI (DeFi Pulse Index). Recently, the Index Coop teamed up with Bankless DAO to launch the BED Index: 1/3 Bitcoin, 1/3 Ether, and 1/3 DPI.

Products like these make it easier than ever to get some skin in the game, so Do Your Own Research, and learn why the future of finance is decentralized. For this week's State of the Nation, we bring on four core contributors of Index Coop to walk us through it.

Bankless Podcast #74: The History of Electronic Markets Guest: Tarun Chitra

We’re all familiar the image of traders in the pits of the New York Stock Exchange, holding up tickets and shouting out orders to one another. This is the backdrop for Electronic Markets 1.0, when ‘open outcry’ was the norm for the exchange of equities. When internet technology first emerged, it was brought to these markets, such that geographically distinct markets were fused by the instant communication of prices, bids, and offers.

New technologies come quickly to the markets, giving an advantage to those who adopt the fastest. Alongside traders and brokers are the technologists, the quants and computer scientists who leveraged their understanding of networks to revolutionize trading. This first wave of electronic markets lasted until the dawn of personal computers, home internet, and E-trade.

This second wave further revolutionized modern exchanges, distributing public access while consolidating liquidity. Synergistic with the dot-com boom, this explosion of retail investing once again turned exchanges on their heads. Look around now, and observe that we are in a third wave of new technologies applied to markets: Electronic Markets 3.0. Catalyzed first by mobile phones and now DeFi, the markets have once again been uprooted and fundamentally changed.

What does this all mean? Where do we go from here? How do we adjust for scaling complex markets? Well, listening to what Tarun Chitra has to say about it isn’t a bad place to start.

ETH Staking Panelists: Darren Langley (Rocket Pool) Vasiliy Shapovalov (Lido) Ejaaz Ahamadeen (Coinbase)

With Ethereum's switch to Proof-of-Stake around the corner, a full spectrum of staking options has emerged. Many who want to participate will not be able to run their own self-custodied 24/7 validator node, and not everyone has the required 32 ETH. For these folks, Staking-as-a-Service allows broader participation in the PoS consensus mechanism. To discuss this, team members from Coinbase, Lido, and Rocket Pool come together in this panel to explore their approaches to the world of ETH staking!
