May 13, 2024THE PROTOCOL: Blockchain Fundraising's New Frontier of Node Sales
Node sales are becoming a popular fundraising method in the blockchain industry, where projects sell nodes instead of tokens or equity.

Follow the show here for more.
This installment of "The Protocol," hosts Brad Keoun, the founding editor of The Protocol Newsletter, and tech journalists Sam Kessler and Margaux Nijkerk; who discuss node sales, address poisoning, and the concept of account abstraction on Ethereum. The hosts also touch on the challenges of mainstream adoption of blockchain technology and the lack of standards in token launches.
Takeaways |
Node sales are becoming a popular fundraising method in the blockchain industry, where projects sell nodes instead of tokens or equity.
Address poisoning is a type of exploit where a victim is tricked into sending a legitimate transaction to the wrong wallet address.
Account abstraction is a concept that aims to make crypto wallets on Ethereum easier to use and more versatile.
The lack of standards in token launches and the challenges of mainstream adoption continue to be issues in the crypto industry. SoFund has a reward system where 20% of the total supply of their token, SOF, will be awarded as rewards to node buyers over the next three years.
The distribution model for rewards and tokens can be a balancing act between satisfying investors and contributors to the ecosystem.
Maximal extractable value (MEV) is a problem on the Ethereum blockchain where operators can front-run and extract profits from transactions, causing financial losses.
Metamask has introduced smart transactions to combat MEV, offering lower fees, transaction transparency, and protection against front running.
The development of different types of wallets and transaction systems is an ongoing effort to improve user experience and address complex technical challenges in the blockchain industry.

May 10, 2024UNCHAINED: How the Top One-Third of FTX Creditors Are Boosting the Payouts for Everyone Else
The draft FTX bankruptcy plan is being lauded for paying out more—in dollar terms—to creditors than expected. But it’s at the cost of customers who hold the most valuable assets on the exchange.
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.
Thomas Braziel, managing partner at 117 Partners, dives into the draft FTX bankruptcy plan, which was praised for paying out at more than 100% in dollar terms, but has several intricacies that are drawing criticisms from creditors—including a group that is urging creditors to vote not.
The episode delves into the nuances of the proposed payout, explaining how the estate was able to pay back more than 100% of the dollar value of the claims, why some creditors are being pitted against each other, and why it might get approved even “over the kicking and screaming” of some creditors.
Braziel gives his insights into the rapid formation of this plan, the controversial role of Sullivan and Cromwell, and the logistical challenges posed by what may end up being paper check payouts.
Show highlights:
Why the plan that was filed this week is such big news
How it was never even possible for creditors to be made whole in crypto asset terms
How the majority of depositors had stablecoins on the FTX platform
Why there are “inter-creditor” disputes
What a "cramdown" is and why it's significant in this case
Criticisms of the plan, and why larger investors, especially with crypto holdings, are having their gains socialized
Whether the FTX estate made mistakes by selling some of its positions before they 10x’ed
Why FTX didn't reboot its platform
What conflicts of interest might arise from law firm Sullivan and Cromwell
The tax implications for creditors who are non-US taxpayers
How the claims are going to be distributed
Whether the creditors will favor the proposal and the next steps
