In this episode of Cryptocurrents, hosts Brett Lindstrom and Jacq Vaca sit down with Justice Conder from Polygon Labs. The convo explores governance mechanisms, the balance between community input and visionary leadership, and the innovative q/acc (quadratic accelerationism) project that rethinks ecosystem funding through protocol-sponsored tokenization. Justice also touches on the importance of returning to cypherpunk principles, the potential of ZK technology for privacy, and how account abstraction and natural language interfaces are making crypto more accessible.

The episode concludes with Justice's spicy take that Ethereum needs to return to its crypto-anarchist roots to remain relevant in the evolving landscape.
