  • Today’s episode is about exploring the frontier of tokens on Bitcoin with guest Casey Rodarmor. Casey is the creator of the Ordinals Protocol, a harmless protocol that simply allowed for arbitrary data to be inscribed into individual Bitcoin UTXOs, creating what are called Bitcoin NFTs. He is now also the creators of Runes, a second protocol, working to bring fungible tokens to Bitcoin.

    Bitcoin is changing and Casey appears to be one of main reasons for the change. Soon he’ll be unveiling a new protocol standard for Bitcoin - called Runes, which wants to be a bitcoin-native version of fungible tokens, on the Bitcoin L1 - which is going to be the topic of the show today.

  • Welcome Bankless Nation, to the Summer of Protocols!|

    Summer of Protocols is an ongoing research and evangelism effort that aims to catalyze broad interest in the study of protocols as a first-class concept for thinking about the world.

    To explain a little more about what Summer of Protocols is all about, we brought Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation and Venkat Rao of the Ribbonfarm blog on the podcast. Additionally, this episode contains three short interviews with three of the 35 total Summer of Protocols researchers.

    You’re going to experience something a little different here on the show today. Some more storytelling, a different kind of frontier exploration, but all around the idea of protocols.

  • Earlier this month the largest asset manager in the world released its first tokenized fund on Ethereum called the BlackRock BUIDL fund.

    We knew this was big… but after recording this episode we’re realizing this is an even bigger deal than we initially thought.
    Tokenized treasuries on chain
    Tokenized securities on chain.

    The largest institutions in the world are here and they’re tokenizing their assets.

  • Today on the show we have two guests debating the merits and costs of crypto memecoins. Ledger (Brian Krogsgard) from the UpOnly podcast thinks that memecoins are financial nihilism that creates room for bad actors and grifters. Stephen Cesaro, from the Alfalfa Podcast, thinks memecoins are something to appreciate and celebrate.

    Which side are you on?
