Shrii from Credible Finance on instant settlement for high-risk payments, raising on MetaDAO, and building a Stripe for the businesses traditional gateways won't touch.We cover why Stripe can't follow him into this market, what T+0 settlement means for gaming and prediction market platforms sitting on cash flow risk, how the open payment stack lets teams self onboard and spin up their own DeFi pools, and the two pivots that turned a trade finance idea into a full-blown PSP.

Ownership Podcast S1 E10: Ranga (Solomon Labs)

Ranga from Solomon Labs on building a productive dollar, raising on MetaDAO, and why USDv is the stablecoin you default to instead of the one you chase yield for. We cover why the old token playbook is dead, the 100M raise and the Cloudflare outage that nearly derailed it, how YaaS makes monetary policy programmable so USDv can stay liquid and always earning, the pivot off the basis trade into a Treasury-backed model, and what actually backs USDv. Plus futarchy, the most-traded decision market in MetaDAO history, and why you already take on reserve risk with USDC and USDT but get none of the upside. Guest: Ranga, Solomon Labs Host: 8bitpenis

Hunter from Laso Finance on private crypto prepaid cards, raising on MetaDAO, and the case for agentic commerce. We cover privacy at the point of spend, how Laso stays compliant with no ID upload, why the 4% of volume from AI agents may matter more than the 96% from humans, and why he's building agents to start businesses rather than to ease shopping. Plus Bitrefill, x402, and the on-chain endgame with Tempo and Plasma. Guest: Hunter, Laso Finance Host: 8bitpenis

Ownership Podcast S1 E8: Arad (Lightcone)

Arad, founder of Lightcone, makes the case for impact markets — permissionless decision markets that don't require the questions or assets to be ones you control. We cover Polymarket's origins as an "information markets" platform, why futarchy fails when proposals lack information, the two-universe mental model behind Lightcone's settlement, and why Arad believes the Oracle problem in prediction markets is really a market definition problem. Closing on insider trading across market types, why Lightcone is launching on Solana, and the political backlash he expects when election impact markets ship.

Ownership Podcast S1 E7: Proph3t (MetaDAO)

Proph3t, founder of MetaDAO, breaks down futarchy from first principles — a governance system where prediction markets, not token holders, decide what a protocol does. The conversation moves fast: from the origin story of MetaDAO to ownership coins, liquidating failing projects as a feature, insider trading risks in onchain governance, and buybacks as value accrual. Then it zooms out — Proph3t's actual goal is to apply futarchy beyond crypto, to corporations and eventually governments. If you've ever lost money to a rug and wondered if there's a structural fix, this episode is it. Sponsored by MetaDAO. Hosted by 8bitpenis. Produced by Blockformer.

Ownership Podcast S1 E6: Maushish (Paystream)

Maushish, founder of Paystream, comes back 5 months after raising $750K through MetaDAO to give a honest account of what building post-raise actually looks like. He covers his early skepticism about futarchy, how the Omnipair and Umbra raises convinced him, what the Ranger liquidation proved about the mechanism, and why Paystream has since pivoted from LPing to funding rate arbitrage on perps. The back half of the conversation gets technical — how funding rate arb works, why most opportunities are under $20K, how Paystream's auto-close mechanism protects principal, and what the path to sustainability looks like before the treasury runs dry. A rare episode that skips the pitch and goes straight to the reality of building inside the MetaDAO ecosystem. Hosted by 8bitpenis. Sponsored by MetaDAO. Produced by Blockformer.

Ownership Podcast S1 E5: Sheldon (P2P.me)

Sheldon from P2P joins 8bitpenis to explain why a startup backed by Multicoin and Coinbase Ventures chose MetaDAO over another VC round. The answer is about regulatory survival. P2P operates in India, Brazil, Argentina, and Indonesia — markets without clear regulatory frameworks for crypto on/off ramps. Decentralizing ownership to 50,000+ token holders across 50 countries isn't ideological. It's structural protection. The conversation covers how P2P actually works (USDC settlement over UPI, Pix, and PromptPay in under 90 seconds), how they prevent fraud with zkKYC and an AI fraud engine, how the spread-based revenue model works market by market, and what the Circles of Trust token model means for global expansion. If you've wondered why stablecoins were built for emerging markets and not the US — this episode explains it clearly. Hosted by 8bitpenis. Produced by Blockformer. Sponsored by MetaDAO.
