#25 Trent McConaghy, Ocean Protocol: Cryptoeconomic Primitives + Mapping Humanity’s Plan To Self-Actualization
In this episode of Creating a Humanist Blockchain Future (Patreon, Soundcloud, Youtube, iTunes) I interview Trent McConaghy, the CTO and co-founder of Ocean Protocol, a decentralized data substrate (and protocol!) for data marketplaces. We chat cryptoeconomic primitives like Curation Markets and Token-Curated Registries and Trent’s proposed system to map our future. Enjoy, and as always, let me know if you have any feedback! Links below:
- Curation Markets and Token-Curated Registries
- Tokenize the Enterprise (and related work). Kik/Kin, YouNow/Props, Numerai/Numeraire
- “The Map”. And my related work: Co-evolving the Phase Shift to Crypto Capitalism by Founding The Ethereum Commons Co-op
- Tokens as: Medium of Exchange, Governance, and Staking
