All Things Cryptoeconomics, Pt. 1, With Olaf Carlson-Wee and Ryan Zurrer of Polychain Capital
b'In an intermittent series on cryptoeconomics, Olaf Carlson-Wee and Ryan Zurrer of crypto hedge fund Polychain Capital describe what cryptoeconomics is, what goals it typically helps networks accomplish and what behaviors token systems might someday incentivize. We discuss when cryptoeconomic models don\'t make sense, how the type of consensus algorithms a blockchain chooses can affect behavior in that system and which consensus mechanisms excite them now. We also dive into whether or not it\'s desirable for a cryptoeconomic system to depend on a small number of knowledgeable participants, how to manage on-chain governance so networks don\'t vote themselves into a "black hole," and what disciplines are helpful in designing smart cryptoeconomic systems.\\n Polychain Capital http://polychain.capital/\\n Thank you to our sponsors:\\n Preciate: Recognize someone with a shout out: https://preciate.org/recognize/\\n Bitwise Asset Management: https://www.bitwiseinvestments.com/unchained\\n Keepkey: https://www.keepkey.com/\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
