    CultDAO w/ Wastelander | FIAT LUX Podcast #13

    In this episode of FIAT LUX, we chat with Wastelander from CultDAO, delving into their philosophy and values, the push for decentralized power, and how philosophy intersects with technology in the crypto space. We touch on LunarPunk, SolarPunk, anonymity in decentralized communities, and CultDAO's tokenomics. Mental health's link to decentralization is explored, stressing the need for internalizing practices rather than relying solely on external solutions. We also discuss valid responses to life's challenges, mindfulness, and the parallels between crypto and consciousness. We conclude the conversation with concepts like morphic resonance and distributed consciousness, alongside a discussion on ego, self-awareness, and the impact of philosophy on personal growth.

    Mel & Earendil w/ Eric Tung | FIAT LUX Podcast #12

    In this episode of FIAT LUX, we talk to Eric Tung, the founder of Mel, Geph & Earendil. MEL aims to build a clean-slate L1 to expand the Web3 vision of a decentralized, secure, and private internet beyond blockchains. Earendil is the first anonymous communication and transaction network designed to be decentralized, incentive-compatible, and ban-resistant. It is a foundational off-chain protocol in the Mel ecosystem. Eric emphasizes the importance of decentralization, trustless interactions, and explores the vulnerabilities of centralized systems. The conversation delves into the resilience of the internet, the impact of shutdowns, and the demand for privacy in oppressive regimes, particularly in the Chinese underground VPN market. We also explore the unique perspective of living in China and the role of decentralized incentives in serving unserved populations.

    FIRN Protocol | FIAT LUX Podcast #10

    In this episode of FIAT LUX, we unveil the genius behind FIRN Protocol and dive deep into the realm of cryptographic privacy. "YOU ARE BEING WATCHED. While these words sound ominous, they're unfortunately too true. The ever-expanding financial surveillance apparatus of our era has gone all-but unchecked. Cryptography gives us tools to fight back. Using zero-knowledge proofs, Firn delivers secure, efficient funds privacy for users of Ethereum and Ethereum-based L2s. With FIRN you can privately transfer funds to other FIRN users, or engage with other protocols, like Uniswap. You can also privately withdraw funds back to the network.. Think of it as a versatile, general-purpose private wallet for EVM-based blockchains." What sets FIRN apart from other privacy projects is its account-based architecture, ensuring efficient data synchronization and a smooth user experience. While other projects require hefty data downloads and endless synchronization times, FIRN has found an elegant solution to these issues.
