The Future of Crypto Insurance With Hugh Karp and Robert Forster

David Johnston discusses the Morpheus project, which aims to build a free future by providing individuals with their own personal AI. The project attracted significant interest and support through a fair launch, where users could stake their ETH and contribute to the project in exchange for tokens. The Morpheus network acts as a coordination platform between personalized AIs and a global network of services. The network uses a smart agent rank algorithm to recommend the best smart agents for specific tasks based on factors like reputation and usage. The fair launch model and token economics of Morpheus have attracted attention and may inspire other projects to adopt similar approaches. Morpheus Network has different buckets for rewarding contributors, including the code bucket, compute bucket, community bucket, capital bucket, and protection fund bucket. The code and compute buckets are important for providing value to the network. The code bucket rewards those who build the platform, while the compute bucket rewards those who provide computing resources. The community bucket rewards the builders of smart agents, and the capital bucket rewards those who provide capital. The protection fund bucket is for handling audits, bounties, and recovering from attacks. The network aims to strike a balance between proof of stake and proof of work.

GRASS (GetGrass.io) is a viral crypto AI project built on Solana that aims to scrape and validate internet data for AI training. The name 'GRASS' was chosen for its memeability and metaphors. The project addresses the scarcity of quality data and the control of web data by a few companies. It also tackles the unfairness of companies scraping data from residential networks without compensating users. GRASS is a network of 2 million devices that scrape and clean web data in real-time. The data collected by GRASS can be used for training specialized AI models, fine-tuning models, and real-time inference. GRASS is a web scraping protocol that aims to democratize access to public web data and enable the creation of AI models. The protocol allows users to download a browser extension or mobile app that scrapes data from websites and contributes it to the GRASS network. The data is then validated and stored on a decentralized network of nodes. GRASS aims to provide transparent and verifiable data, ensuring fairness and preventing bias in AI models. The protocol is built on the Solana blockchain for its speed, scalability, and innovation.

Josh, the co-founder of Astria, discusses the journey from data availability layers to building a shared sequencer network. He explains the concept of shared sequencing and its advantages, such as amortizing the cost of engineering and providing a competitive experience for rollup developers. He also addresses the trade-offs and constraints of using a shared sequencer, including the block time and potential lock-in. Josh highlights the target market for shared sequencers and the potential value accrual in a world where multiple rollups tap into the same shared sequencer. Astria is focused on building a shared sequencer for rollups, which allows for faster and more cost-effective transactions. The market is still evaluating the cost and security trade-offs of shared sequencers versus centralized providers. The architecture of a shared sequencer relies on a distributed network, but it remains to be seen if it can be cost-competitive in the market. There is also an ideological question of where to draw the line between a developer building an app-specific rollup on a centralized sequencer and writing to a base layer. The landscape of optimistic rollups versus ZK rollups is constantly evolving, with ZK technology progressing significantly. Base sequencing refers to rollups that are purely dependent on the block producers of the L1, while shared sequencing involves a separate sequencing layer. Astria's go-to-market strategy involves vertically integrating and building their own rollups on top of the shared sequencer to demonstrate its viability. ⁠Josh's Twitter - https://twitter.com/Jskybowen Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 17:14 Target Market for Shared Sequencers 25:11 Value Accrual in a World with Shared Sequencers 32:41 The Evolving Landscape of Optimistic Rollups and ZK Rollups 44:11 The Definition and Challenges of Base Sequencing 50:41 Astria's Go-to-Market Strategy: Vertically Integrating and Building Their Own Rollups Disclosures Disclosures: This podcast is strictly informational and educational and is not investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any tokens or securities or to make any financial decisions.

The conversation explores the concept of Layer 3 (L3) blockchains and their potential impact on the crypto industry. L3s offer unlimited customizations with near-zero gas fees, allowing for limitless creativity and experimentation. The discussion focuses on Degen, a community built on the L3 chain, and its journey from a tipping functionality on Forecaster to launching its own L3. The founders of Syndicate, the team behind Degen's L3, explain the need for L3s and the benefits they provide to different types of applications. The conversation also touches on the future of L3s and the potential for further customization. Degen Chain, an L3 solution built on top of Ethereum, offers low gas fees and customization options for developers. The ability to customize blockchains is seen as a powerful feature, and Degen Chain aims to pull customizations from startups specializing in that space. L3s are designed for customized functionality, while L2s are for scaling. Interoperability between L3s is a vision that many in the space are pursuing, and there are different approaches to achieving it. The security and value capture of Ethereum are important considerations, but the focus should be on usage and adoption. Degen Chain is just the beginning, and there is excitement about the future development and growth of on-chain communities.
