Let's talk ICP

In this episode, we talked with Tom Stuart, Founder of TRAX.

TRAX is a social marketplace for music running 100% on-chain on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

TRAX was born out the observation that smaller and medium sized artists are being mistreated by the music industry.

A purpose-built platform for artists and music lovers, TRAX delivers a curated feed of music content wrapped in a social media interface. In the style of popular membership platforms like Patreon, TRAX joins up content distribution and outreach with monetization. Users may access creators’ streaming catalogue and social media content at the same time through one individual subscription, giving artists commercial and creative control over their career in a single Web3 space.

Fans will finally have access to a litany of exclusive content not available on typical streaming/social media, including live engagement opportunities with their favourite artists. Artists themselves will benefit from a highly lucrative subscription model which is multiplicative rather than than based on raw streams; the more fans they sign up, the more money they earn at the end of the month.

In this episode, we talked with Jordan Last, Co-Founder of Demergent Labs.

Jordan is a full-stack software developer focused on the web, distributed systems, blockchain, security, and open source. Is one of the most important developers on the ICP Ecosystem and his contribution to improve ICP Blockchain is tremendous. Demergent Labs is building TypeScript, GraphQL, and Python for the Internet Computer.

Demergent Labs is removing barriers to entry, making it extremely simple for developers to come over to the Internet Computer and write decentralized applications that take advantage of its unique characteristics and benefits over centralized cloud providers and other layer-1 protocols.

Their thesis is simple: By focusing on the technologies that are really working well in the Web2 world, they believe they can accelerate the adoption of Web3. They can also greatly improve some of the technologies that made Web2 great

They are starting off with three flagship projects: Azle (TypeScript CDK), Sudograph (GraphQL Database), and Kybra (Python CDK).

In this episode, we talked with Max Chamberlin, Co-Founder of InfinitySwap.

Max is Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Philosophy from the University of Oxford and a Master's Degree in Machine Learning from the University of Cambridge, he cofounded Finity technologies (InfinitySwap) in July 2021 backed by Polychain Capital and A16Z's.

InfinitySwap is a DEFI platform to create, stake, and swap Tokens on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

InfinitySwap has a similar architecture to Uniswap. They've ported a lot of the tech to Rust, and designed the platform to handle the asynchronicity of the IC. Their bridge contract complements Chain-Key and enables users to swap Ethereum tokens at a fraction of the cost.

Some of the novel features in the v1 release are the cheapest bridge between Ethereum and ICP, complementing Chain-Key and enabling direct swaps; social finance and a way to share your portfolio with friends on social media; a metamask style app to access your tokens.

In the episode number thirteen, we talked with Andrew Chepreghy, Developer Relations Engineer at DFINITY Foundation and one of the main forerunners of the SNS-1 DAO on Internet Computer.

A Decentralized Autonomous Organization, or DAO for short, is a system that allows many parties to jointly control an entity. Similarly to how the Network Nervous System (NNS) is the open tokenized DAO that controls the Internet Computer blockchain (IC), Service Nervous Systems (SNSs) are algorithmic DAOs that allow developers to create decentralized, token-based governance systems for their dapps.

You can't miss this episode where Andrew answers all our questions about the launch of the first DAO on Internet Computer: Purpose, Tokenomics, Governance, SNS-1 airdrop, difference between SNS DAO on Internet Computer and other blockchains, technical aspects of SNS launch and much more...

This letter will be a reminder of the first steps on an exciting journey towards a truly decentralized Internet :)

In the thirteenth episode, we talked with Dheeraj Kumar, Cofounder & CEO of Antelope DAO.

Antelope DAO is a comprehensive, integrated, and cross-chain ecosystem designed to resolve the problems of fragmentation and usability. The platform connects stakeholders, lowers barriers, and enhances access by offering an end-to-end solution for the globally expanding decentralized trade and logistic sector.

Antelope DAO is a great example of how companies that manage sensitive, private, and significant content of data need to have a service 100% on-chain. Antelope started with Centrifuge, a Polkadot parachain and they realized the multiple advantages to migrate to Internet Computer Blockchain (HTTP outcalls without oracles, BTC integration for their liquidity pool, tokenization and SNS DAO to decentralize 100% Antelope DAO and give the power to token holders, digital signatures through canisters smart contracts, Internet identity to do the KYC and be able buyers and sellers to access anytime to the agreements, prices..., data model in canisters directly, direct communication synchronized to Internet Computer through Openchat or Messity.

Don't miss this interview with a pioneering project that will give a lot to talk about in the future.
