  • Mission: DeFi EP 91 - Can Bancor come back from a massive failure? - Mark Richardson explains Carbon & what it was like

    There are a lot of failures in crypto and DeFi history. Exploits, hacks, and failure of models have all lead to billions in losses for average traders. Bancor, the original AMM, experienced such a failure in June of last year, just after launching their vaunted version 3 of their protocol. The destruction was indirectly caused by the very thing that drew so many people to it, Impermanent Loss Protection combined with liquidity mining. The difference between Bancor and many projects in DeFi is that the team never gave up. Despite death threats and the pain of watching so many people lose value on the platform, they've persevered. They took the massively difficult step of locking up ILP and seemingly locking in big losses for investors. Now they are readying to launch a new platform called Carbon that they believe has the potential to make investors whole while providing a powerful solution that doesn't exist in this space for frequent traders. 

    It is a big gamble for everyone on the team and in this episode we get into what it was like, the mistakes that were made, and what Carbon is all about.

  • DeFi Lunch (Ep 309) - Mar 9, 2023 - Bitcoin Mining with Stranded Renewable Energy? - @Mark_Morton_ from Schilling Mining

    Throughout Ireland and the world, renewable energy is being created using everything from cow manure to wind and sunshine, but there's a problem, because often times the grid can't handle all the energy being created. Enter Scilling Mining to save the day and give energy producers the ability to mine bitcoin with their stranded energy. We really enjoyed getting to know founder Mark Morton and understand how their project works. This is a powerful model and I suspect we will see them expanding in the future.

  • Mission: DeFi EP 90 - There's more to Arweave than you thought possible - Creator - Sam Williams

    If you think Arweave is just a place to store NFTs permanently, then this episode is going to be a complete eye opener for you as it was for me. Sam Wiliams had an obsession with geopolitics that led him to a vision of creating a system of permanent storage, because he was concerned about censorship and the ongoing human problems of storing our information, knowledge, and data in a safe and permanent way. What he got on the other side of the launch, was far far more than just data storage. 

    Learn all abotu Arweave, Sam, and how it is built, but more importantly, learn about all the possibilities for using Arweave that you never knew.
