GreenPill is about crypto-economic systems that create positive externalities for their neighbors & for the world.

We explore the intersection of programmable money, game theory, & mechanism design. We search for powerful new ways to fund, design, develop, & market regenerative web3-era applications and digital assets. We launch the meme of regenerative crypto-economics into the world.

Ethereum is the ultimate substrate for human coordination. Learn about the web3 builders who are solving coordination failures and creating a more regenerative infrastructure for the world using Ethereum.

    Daniel Schmachtenberger is a founding member of The Consilience Project, aimed at improving public sensemaking and dialogue. He is researching and propagating the idea of the Metacrisis, which outlines the totality of risk that we face as a species and planet.
    The systems that compose our society generally seek to trend in two directions—toward dystopia and catastrophes. Is there a way we can avoid these fates? Daniel says yes, via the third attractor: creating a more antifragile world that takes advantage of our exponential technologies.
    This is the third in a series of episodes with Daniel, in which we dive into coordination mechanisms that can address the Metacrisis.

    Bobby Dresser is the general manager at the Optimism Foundation, coming with an exciting announcement. Round 2 is The Optimism Collective’s second round of Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF) 
    RetroPGF 2 will allocate 10m OP tokens to fund public goods that support development and usage of the OP Stack. Optimism’s vision is to build a global system where positive impact to the collective is rewarded by profit to the individual. RetroPGF is an experimental mechanism to realize this goal of “impact = profit”. By funding public goods sustainably, the Collective can create a rich ecosystem and a better economy.

Fantastic Pod

Highly recommend to anyone going down the Web3 / DAO rabbit hole. Owocki is one of the stronger and genuine thought leaders we have and when you couple that with his ability to draw top talent to the pod, you get a recipe for quality content.

Finally a show about regenerative economics

Really grateful for the deep thought and discussion about regenerative economics and future society. Really brilliant guests and strong interviewing. I daresay this show fills the most important niche in the space.
