PoolTogether Community Podcast

On this special Tuesday edition of the PoolTogether Community Podcast, Stader Labs joins us to talk about Multi-chain Liquid Staking.

I gotta be honest, this is next level Defi for your boy Hot Mike, so there’s a lot of explanation as to what you can do with Stader Labs on platforms like Balancer and Beefy Finance.

In short, you can stake Matic with Stader Labs which helps secure the Polygon Network (and you earn rewards for doing so), and then you can do more Defi with it! You can take your staking token pair it with USDC or Matic and provide liquidity on Balancer, Quickswap, Beefy, or Meshwap for more yield.

And Stader Labs doesn’t want to stop there. How can Stader Labs and PoolTogether partner together in liquid staking? And how can we unlock the potential of all of these idle tokens? We don’t know! But we dream dreams on this podcast. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Next up: Lonely Alien Space Club

My conversation with Josh from Opolis was EPIC. Opolis offers payroll, benefits, and much more for independent contractors. If you’re a crypto freelancer in the US or Canada, you need to check out what Opolis has to offer!

Josh and I met at Permissionless in West Palm Beach, and months later we just picked up where we left off. We discuss spicy water, crypto conference job hunting strategies, the problem with healthcare in the US, and how Opolis is a pick/shovel for buidling season.

Our conversation went so well that Opolis is offering to reimburse all Pooler’s LLC filing expenses ($299) if they sign up to start September 1st using this sign up page. Filing takes a few days, so sign up ASAP to qualify for the reimbursement.

So check it out and let us know if you signed up!

PT Community Member Liv Pasquarelli joins us on the pod with book suggestions, web3 career advice, and moving from talented writer to… talented web3 writer and Social Media Manager at Interlay.

Whether it’s RadarDAO, BoysClub.Eth, Tezos NFTs, or the book Crossing the Chasm (plus other books, and then more books!)… Livster is always a great source of alpha. We laughed. We cried (cap). We talked about cats. We wrestled with POAP farmers. It was great.

We missed you in the PT Discord! See you there on Wednesday at 1:30pm ET next week?

Next week: 0xJoshua from Opolis (with a special deal for Poolers!)

Writer/Producer/Singer Lyra joins us on the pod to talk about her journey from design at Facebook to Rockstar. Her music has life soundtrack vibes, and she is the most fan-oriented artist I’ve ever encountered. At her on Twitter, I dare you!

We talk playlist strategy, how Sound.xyz seems to be winning at music NFTs, and how to get listed on said winning music NFT platform.

You’ll have to check the Discord discussion for all of the alpha, but here’s a workout playlist that will have you burning those calories.

Again, follow along with the Podcast Discord Discussion while you listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

PoolTogether knows a thing or two about Project Galaxy. We did a whole Pool Party with them and everything!

Project Galaxy is your one-stop shop for web3 credentials, and they make it super easy to run your own NFT campaigns to reward engagement, attendance, or like, whatever you want!

Anne, CMO, and Charles, Co-Founder, share the origin story of Project Galaxy, how they invented soulbound tokens (maybe), web3 marketing strategy, and how you can use their platform to engage and reward your community.

Follow along with the Podcast Discord Discussion while you listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Where do you listen to podcasts?! Let us know!

Bankless has a credit card? Not yet my friends but soonTM. Links from Bankless DAO is leading a project to create a card for the bankless… a card for the cashless… a card for the crypto curious.

Join us as we discuss, yes, the card, but also how to thrive in a massive DAO such as Bankless, how to get big ideas off the ground, and how to find the balance between long governance posts that no one reads to bulleted lists that need more beefiness.

You can also hear me try to land a PoolTogether X Bankless partnership right there in our discord. Feel free to send me suggestions for my pitch!

Next week: Anne and Charles from Project Galaxy

Ever tried to start a business with your best friend and they tell you that you need to seriously level up your game before they’ll consider it? Yeah, me neither. But that’s exactly what happened to Tom Scaria, CEO of Prysm.

I sat down with Tom at a WeWork outside of NFT.NYC mayhem to talk about the wonder and beauty that is Prysm, a front-end for Gnosis Safes that “turns your group chat into a collector DAO.”

Tom shares his origin story, his strategy for what to do when you’re not sure what to do (consult or get an MBA lol), and his predictions for NFTs in 2022.

Bonus: I ask Tom for some biz dev advice and he doesn’t disappoint.

Have a listen, and let me know what you think on Twitter or in the PoolTogether Discord.

Next Week: Links from Bankless Card!

You’ve gotta try Trains of the Century. It’s got trains. It’s got beautiful music. It’s got user-generated billboards. It’s got mini-games. And it’s got… CENTURIES. That’s right! The current version of the game is just one century. There are more. Prehistoric Century? Three-Body Problem Century? It’s all in the podcast.

Trains of the Century is built on the WAX Blockchain and is the first game from this dynamic duo of developers. We talk trains strategy, game mechanics, how you must have sound on, the Michael Jordan of Trains, the importance of lore in web3, and play to earn with a deflationary token.

Thanks to Ryan and Jake for spending time with the PoolTogether Community and sharing their love of world-building with us. Again I say, you’ve gotta try Trains of the Century.

Next week: Tom from Prysm.xyz recorded in a WeWork at NFTNYC!

As a mathematician in big tech, Hazard jumped into contributing to KeeperDAO as a copy editor. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom, a little of this, a little of that, now he’s CEO of Rook - a platform that “gets you paid for the value you create without destroying the Ethereum network in the process.”

That’s right. No need to worry about MEV when you trade through Rook, and you’ll even get some of that extracted value back, too! Hazard does an incredible job explaining the ins and outs of how Rook works and how it’s a no-brainer platform for trading crypto in larger quantities.

You’ll also want to hear how Rook is changing the compensation game in web3. As Rook scales, they need to hire both technical and operational talent. How do they attract that talent? Listen and learn!

Next week: Choo Choo! McOso and James from Trains of the Century join us and give Pooly holders a little present.
