Hashing It Out looks at how incentives shape decentralized networks, with Max Sklar of Foursquare tying permissionless innovation to the spam, abuse, and odd behavior that can follow when participation is open.
A focused look at how optimistic roll-up security depends on incentives, attention, and the economics of proving fraud.
Hashing It Out's conversation with Carl Floresh turns optimistic roll-up security into a question of incentives. A smaller chain may be more exposed because fewer people sync and check it, making fraud less likely to be caught.
Crypto, consciousness, and trust under pressure.
Builder conversations from the Internet Computer edge.
Healthcare trust, rebuilt block by block.
NFT culture after the mint button.
