Leviathan Livestream: feat. The Llamas

Summary The conversation features the llamas, a group of developers working on projects for the crypto and blockchain industry. They discuss the role of llamas in job placement, the demand for crypto and blockchain skills, and the process of obtaining a grant from the Curve Grants Council. They also talk about the LARP pass and their collaboration with Blockmates, the micro grants app and job board they are building, and the expansion of the llamas ecosystem. The conversation touches on the JPEG DAO hack and a controversial curve proposal. They also discuss potential partnerships and issuing llama badges. The conversation covers various topics related to the deployment process, opportunities for different types of developers, automation of the badge system, improving talent sourcing, updates on FFX Protocol, borrowing and lending on Aladdin and FX Protocol, support for new talent and developers, grant funding, community engagement, and appreciation for Polygon and Cryptovestor. Takeaways The deployment process for badges and lounges on Aladdin involves a manual process, but the plan is to automate it in the future. There are opportunities for frontend developers within the llama community, and there is a diverse range of skills needed beyond smart contract work. The goal is to automate the badge system and make it permissionless, allowing anyone to deploy a badge and create a lounge. The talent sourcing process in the crypto industry can be improved, and the llama community aims to provide ongoing support and opportunities for new talent. FFX Protocol is launching new products, including FX USD, and there are plans for further development and integration with other projects. Aladdin and FX Protocol offer borrowing and lending capabilities, providing opportunities for leverage and yield generation. The Leviathan News Network encourages support and engagement from the community, including subscribing and following the channel. Frax has launched Frax bonds, offering access to US treasury yields, and Ondo has launched its token. The llama community aims to be a conduit for grant funding and support smaller developers. Community engagement and participation are important, and the llama community encourages voting and enjoying the outdoors. The conversation concludes with closing remarks and appreciation for the support from Polygon and Cryptovestor.
