    Forte Hacks: Flow's $250K hackathon for killer apps with Ali & Doodlifts

    Ali Serag (DevRel) and Matt "Doodlifts" (Growth) from Flow join the Tally podcast to discuss Flow's unique multi-role node architecture, the Forte upgrade, and Forte Hacks.  Flow was born from the scalability challenges that CryptoKitties exposed on Ethereum in 2017, leading Dapper Labs to build a blockchain from the ground up designed for consumer-scale applications. Unlike traditional blockchains where every node does everything, Flow splits responsibilities across specialized roles (collection, consensus, execution, verification, and access nodes), enabling massive throughput without sacrificing security or decentralization. The conversation covers Flow's impressive track record powering mainstream brands like the NBA, NFL, Disney, and Ticketmaster (with 100+ million on-chain assets), plus exciting new capabilities in the Forte upgrade including fully on-chain scheduled transactions and standardized one-line DeFi integrations. Ali and Matt also dive into the $250K Forte Hacks competition, which uniquely allows developers to submit existing projects and even AI-coded applications, running through October 31st on HackQuest. --- Sign up for Forte Hacks  Learn more about Flow  Follow Flow on X Follow Ali on X  Follow Doodlifts on X  Follow Tally on X Follow Tommy on X Contact Sales: tally.xyz/contact --- Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or investment advice.

    Why optimistic governance matters now with Cliffton (Tally)

    Cliffton, Tally's Head of Strategy, returns to the Tally podcast to discuss Optimistic Governance: an innovative approach to DAO decision-making that aims to solve common problems like voter apathy and proposal fatigue.  Optimistic governance works by allowing elected councils to make decisions on behalf of the community, with proposals passing automatically unless vetoed by token holders. Cliffton and Tommy cover the technical implementation, ideal use cases for different types of DAOs, and why regulatory clarity is making optimistic governance more attractive to protocols looking to operate efficiently while maintaining decentralization. --- Learn more about Optimistic Governance  Follow Cliffton on X Follow Tally on X Follow Tommy on X Contact Sales: tally.xyz/contact --- Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, or investment advice.
