AutoPGF Episode 3 - Funding Climate Action with Crypto: How Stablecoins are Powering a Greener Future 52:39

cách đây 14 ngày trước52:39

52:39

Welcome back to AutoPGF: Funding Impact with Glo Dollar —a special podcast mini-series from Crypto Altruists that explores the future of Automatic Public Goods Funding , or AutoPGF for short, and the incredible organizations leveraging this new mechanism to scale their impact. For Episode 3, we welcome Jon Ruth , Co-Founder of Climate Coordination Network —a Web3-native climate impact collective that has distributed over $4 million in funding to climate solutions—and Lana Dingwall , Partnerships Lead at Glo Dollar and an OG in the Regen & Web3 public goods funding space. In this episode, we explore how AutoPGF can help climate organizations escape endless grant cycles, lessons from building in Web3, and how the future could look if climate finance scaled with the power of crypto and community. We discuss: Why traditional climate funding models are falling short—and how Web3 public goods funding mechanisms like AutoPGF could unlock sustainable, scalable climate finance. How Climate Coordination Network has distributed over $4 million to Web3-enabled climate projects and what they’ve learned along the way. And how holding a stablecoin like Glo Dollar can help fund real-world climate solutions—without donors needing to spend a dime or their time. --Key Takeaways-- 💡 From Grant Chasing to Impact Creation : Traditional funding models often force impact organizations to focus more on chasing grants than creating impact. AutoPGF flips the script—offering a path to sustainable, unrestricted funding that empowers teams to spend less time finding money, and more time putting it to work. 🤝 Web3 Is About People, Not Protocols : In the regenerative space, collaboration is everything. This episode highlights the shift from competition to community, reminding us that Web3 isn’t a zero-sum game—and when we build together, everyone wins. 💸 Reclaiming the Stablecoin Narrative : Despite the turbulence of the past, stablecoins remain one of Web3’s most powerful tools. Glo Dollar shows how, when done right, they can offer a secure and frictionless way to store value and fund public goods—restoring trust and driving real-world impact. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-autopgf-episode-3-funding-climate-action-with-crypto-how-stablecoins-are-powering-a-greener-future Thank you to Glo for their support in bringing this series to life! 🙏 --Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution-- Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus --DISCLAIMER -- While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

Episode 198 - Pesabase - Revolutionizing Remittances: Delivering $8.5M to Last Mile Communities with Stablecoins 48:23

cách đây 21 ngày trước48:23

48:23

For episode 198, we’re excited to welcome Eric Alsop , Chief Technology Officer at Pesabase —a blockchain-based remittance platform making it faster, cheaper, and more secure to send money to South Sudan, with over $8.5 million transacted to date. From mobile agents to full-service banks, and from smart contracts to stablecoins, Pesabase is a masterclass on accessible UX & meeting users where they are—without compromising on security or speed. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why traditional remittance systems are failing those who need them most—and how one startup is using crypto rails to deliver $8.5 million in remittances to last-mile communities. How Pesabase has cracked the code on Web3 user experience by abstracting blockchain complexity for seamless, real-world adoption. And how stablecoins and smart contracts are reshaping the future of cross-border payments and financial inclusion. --Key Takeaways-- 💸 Remittances Are Broken: In many parts of the world, sending money home comes with painful costs—averaging around 10% and sometimes reaching as high as 30%—and delays that can stretch for days. This burden is especially heavy in places like South Sudan, which has the lowest GDP in Africa and limited financial infrastructure. 🤝 Web3 That Works Without Saying 'Web3' : Users shouldn't have to know they’re using blockchain. By blending familiar tools like mobile agents and local banks with crypto, they’ve created a seamless user experience that meets people where they are. ⚙️ Smart Contracts + Stablecoins = Instant, Low-Cost Transfers: Pesabase has harnessed the power of crypto rails to make cross-border transactions nearly instant and far more affordable. Their smart contract system automates every step—from fiat conversion to stablecoin transfer to local currency withdrawal—creating an efficient end-to-end flow. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-198-pesabase-revolutionizing-remittances-delivering-8-5m-to-last-mile-communities-with-stablecoins Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

cách đây 26 ngày trước45:26

45:26

Welcome back for episode 2 of AutoPGF: Funding Impact with Glo Dollar —a special podcast mini-series from Crypto Altruists that explores the future of Automatic Public Goods Funding and the incredible organizations leveraging this mechanism to scale their impact. Today we welcome Ilan Wallentin from GiveDirectly and Garm Lucassen from Glo . GiveDirectly was the first-ever cause supported by Glo’s AutoPGF model—and for good reason. With over $800 million delivered directly into the hands of people living in poverty , GiveDirectly is proving what’s possible when we lead with trust and dignity. In this inspiring conversation, we explore: How one of the world’s most innovative nonprofits is transforming humanitarian aid by giving people cash directly— with no strings attached How Glo Dollar’s AutoPGF model, at scale, can help these organizations like GiveDirectly maximize their impact while building trust with donors And how new models of automatic public goods funding could offer hope for the global aid sector amidst deep funding cuts --Key Takeaways-- ❤️ Cash with Dignity - Direct cash transfers give people in poverty the power to choose what they need most—whether that’s food, education, medicine, or starting a business. Backed by numerous studies, cash transfers are the most researched—and misunderstood—form of aid, consistently proving that people use the money wisely and impactfully. 🔎 Trust Through Transparency - In a world where donor skepticism is rising, transparency is everything. From tracking every Glo Dollar to showcasing the real-world outcomes of GiveDirectly’s work, building transparency and trust ensures donors know exactly how and where their money is making a difference. Blockchain can be a key tool in making this a reality. 💸 Passive Giving, Massive Potential - AutoPGF flips traditional philanthropy on its head by making impact effortless. Just by holding stablecoins like Glo Dollar, users can passively fund life-changing causes. And with the stablecoin market booming, the potential to scale this model—and fund the future of humanitarian aid—is enormous. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-autopgf-episode-2-can-stablecoins-end-extreme-poverty-inside-glos-partnership-with-givedirectly Thank you to Glo for their support in bringing this series to life! 🙏 --Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution-- Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus --DISCLAIMER -- While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

Episode 197 - Xcapit - Crypto for Global Impact - Blockchain, AI, & the Future of Sustainable Development 48:49

cách đây 28 ngày trước48:49

48:49

For episode 197, we’re excited to welcome José Ignacio Trajtenberg , CEO and Co-Founder of Xcapit. Based in Argentina, José leads a powerhouse Web3 R&D firm using blockchain and AI to build digital infrastructure for inclusion and impact. From tokenizing renewable energy, to designing wallets that function offline in low-connectivity regions, to partnering with UNICEF for financial inclusion , Xcapit is redefining what’s possible when tech is designed with people—and the planet—in mind. If you're building or dreaming of building a Web3 project with real-world impact, this one is a must-listen. In this episode, you’ll learn: How blockchain and AI can work together to supercharge sustainable development initiatives. Why real-world asset tokenization could be the next trillion-dollar frontier—and how it can be used for good. How decentralized tech can unlock financial inclusion, even in the most remote communities. --Key Takeaways-- 💡 Start with the problem, not the tech: Users don’t care if tech solutions are built on blockchain or magic—they care if it works. José reminds us that impact-driven innovation should focus on solving real problems first, not showcasing the tech behind it. 📱 Abstract away the complexity: Web3 adoption won’t scale unless builders meet people where they are. José shares how Xcapit designs solutions that keep the blockchain behind the scenes, empowering users without expecting them to understand blockchain. 💸 Designing incentive-aligned ecosystems: To drive real-world sustainability, we need real-world economic incentives. Xcapit’s renewable energy platform tokenizes energy generation and invoices, enabling transparent traceability and tradeable rewards onchain. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-197-xcapit-crypto-for-global-impact-blockchain-ai-and-the-future-of-sustainable-development Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

AutoPGF Episode 1 - Funding the Future: Optimism, AutoPGF, & the Rise of Deep Funding 43:51

cách đây 5 weeks trước43:51

43:51

For today’s episode, we’re excited to kick off a brand-new series - AutoPGF: Funding Impact with Glo Dollar. Public goods funding has long been an unsolved challenge in both traditional and Web3 ecosystems. But Glo Dollar is pioneering a new model , using stablecoin yields to generate impact funding—without any extra cost or effort from users. This concept, known as Automatic Public Goods Funding (AutoPGF) , has the potential to unlock scalable and sustainable funding mechanisms . Through this series, we’ll spotlight the organizations receiving funding through Glo , explore the broader landscape of Web3 public goods funding , and dive into the innovations shaping the future of funding. For episode one, we welcome LauNaMu, Founder of Metrics Garden and a true leader in the Web3 public goods funding space. She’s also played a pivotal role in Optimism’s governance, and RetroPGF . We discuss: How Automatic Public Goods Funding (AutoPGF) is transforming impact funding How the Optimism ecosystem is laying the groundwork for sustainable, scalable funding models The biggest emerging trends in decentralized funding, from deep funding to pluralistic programs --Key Takeaways-- 💸 Sustainable public goods funding requires automation & pluralism: Web3 has the potential to create automated funding streams that allow impact makers to focus on creating change rather than chasing grants. By combining pluralistic funding approaches like AutoPGF and deep funding, we can build a future where public goods are sustainably funded with minimal manual intervention. 🔎 The rise of deep funding: To truly scale public goods funding, we need to understand how projects rely on each other. Deep Funding utilizes dependency graphs that help visualize these relationships, and AI agents can analyze data to optimize funding distribution. 🧪 Optimism’s ecosystem is a hub for Web3 public goods innovation: Optimism has led the charge in experimentation with public goods funding, ensuring that builders, educators, and contributors receive meaningful support. Its governance model, commitment to retroactive funding, and embrace of bold new ideas make it one of the most exciting spaces. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-autopgf-episode-1-funding-the-future-optimism-autopgf-the-rise-of-deep-funding Thank you to Glo for their support in bringing this series to life! 🙏 --Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution-- Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus --DISCLAIMER -- While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

54:13

Today, we’re doing something a little different, and breaking from our regular production schedule to release a special live bonus episode. This episode is a recording of a live twitter space, where we wrapped up our Trailblazers of Octant series with an open discussion, community reflections, and ecosystem updates. Since it was recorded live, the audio quality might not be what you're used to from our usual episodes, and there were limited editing and production options. But you know what, that’s part of the fun of a live conversation—it’s raw, unfiltered, and community-driven. For this conversation, we were joined by folks from Octant, Climate Coordination Network, Protocol Guild, Greenpill Dev Guild, CryptoConexión , and friends from the community. In the community discussion we reflect on key themes and highlights from the Trailblazers of Octant podcast, some of the most exciting aspects of Octant’s approach to Public Goods Funding, and what’s next for Epoch 7 and Octant V2. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-bonus-live-episode-exploring-the-octant-ecosystem-community-space --Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution-- Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus --DISCLAIMER-- While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, do not take any of this as investment advice and make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

Episode 195 - Molecule - Decentralizing Science - How Web3 and Crypto are Reshaping Scientific Discovery 50:50

cách đây 6 weeks trước50:50

50:50

In episode 195, we welcome Benji Leibowitz, COO at Molecule and Co-Founder of pump.science. Benji is at the forefront of Decentralized Science (aka DeSci), a movement using blockchain to democratize research funding, unlock new discoveries, and shift power from big institutions of funders, and into the hands of scientists and the community. In this episode, we explore: How Decentralized Science (DeSci) is revolutionizing scientific research and funding The potential of IP tokens and crypto-powered science to unlock new medical breakthroughs And why now, amidst NIH cuts and a challenging funding environment in the US, presents a unique opportunity for DeSci to fill critical funding gaps, empower independent researchers, and accelerate scientific innovation beyond traditional institutional barriers. --Key Takeaways-- 🔬 The Problem: Science Funding Is Broken: Traditional scientific research is highly centralized, with funding controlled by large institutions like big pharma. This creates funding biases, forcing scientists to chase grants instead of pursuing the most important research. With NIH cuts and a shifting political landscape in the U.S., this problem is only getting worse. 🧪 DeSci Unlocks Open & Engaging Science: Science has traditionally been opaque, limiting public participation. DeSci changes this by making research transparent and engaging—allowing anyone to support, follow, and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries. 💡 IP Tokens & NFTs: A New Model for Science: DeSci empowers researchers with IP-NFTs & IP tokens, protecting their work while enabling community-driven funding and governance. Molecule’s tiered approach allows anyone to engage with and fund research at different levels, creating a more open and dynamic scientific ecosystem. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-195-molecule-decentralizing-science-how-web3-and-crypto-are-reshaping-scientific-discovery Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

Episode 194 - ZkCloud - Decentralizing the Cloud: Blockchain and Zero Knowledge Proofs for a Fair Internet 43:34

cách đây 7 weeks trước43:34

43:34

In episode 194, we’re excited to welcome Norbert Vadas , Head of Product at ZkCloud , a leading platform building the first truly decentralized cloud for Zero-Knowledge proving . Before diving into blockchain, Norbert spent over a decade working with global organizations like UNICEF and FAO, navigating the intersection of finance, governance, and emerging tech. He later transitioned into Web3 as part of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship, where he explored ZK proving’s potential to transform how we validate and secure data. We explore: How Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proving is revolutionizing blockchain scalability and privacy. Why decentralized cloud computing could be the key to a an inclusive, fair, and accessible internet powered by the people. How Norbert’s journey—from working with UNICEF and FAO to becoming an Ethereum Fellow—has shaped his mission to leverage ZK proofs and Web3 tools for real-world impact --Key Takeaways-- 🔍 Privacy & Security: Why ZK Proofs Matter - Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs allow verification without revealing underlying data, making them a game-changer for privacy. Unlike optimistic rollups, ZK rollups provide built-in cryptographic guarantees, reducing trust assumptions and enhancing security. 🌍 ZK for Impact: Humanitarian & Ethical Applications - From identity verification and proof of aid distribution to decentralized voting and supply chain transparency, ZK proofs can power more ethical and accountable systems. 💰 Unlocking New Use Cases by Reducing Costs - ZK proving is currently expensive with traditional cloud providers, limiting adoption. Decentralized proving solutions make proving more cost-effective, opening the door to new economically viable use cases. 🧠 ZK Proofs & Artificial Intelligence: A Critical Tool for Truth Verification - As generative AI becomes more powerful, the need for cryptographic truth verification grows. ZK proofs can play a vital role in distinguishing real from synthetic content, ensuring authenticity in an era of deepfakes and AI-generated info. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-194-zkcloud-decentralizing-the-cloud-blockchain-and-zero-knowledge-proofs-for-a-fair-internet Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

Episode 193 - Vechain - From Greenwashing to Proof: Tokenizing ESG and Real-World Impact with Blockchain 51:07

cách đây 8 weeks trước51:07

51:07

In episode 193, we’re excited to welcome Sunny Lu, Founder of Vechain , a pioneering blockchain ecosystem that has been demonstrating the power of crypto to drive sustainability efforts since 2015. In this episode, you will learn: How blockchain can eliminate greenwashing and build trust in ESG & environmental initiatives. How Web3 empowers individuals, organizations, and businesses to create real world climate impact through VeBetterDAO. Lessons from Sunny Lu’s journey building a multi-billion-dollar, sustainability-focused cryptocurrency ecosystem. --Key Takeaways-- Transforming Small Actions into Collective Impact with Blockchain: Web3 enables the digitization of positive actions, bringing them onchain to showcase collective impact. This creates a powerful marginal effect, where even small individual efforts contribute to a larger, verifiable movement toward sustainability. Fixing the Trust Deficit in Sustainability with Web3: A major issue in ESG initiatives is the lack of trust. Blockchain solves this by ensuring transparency—bringing sustainability data onchain, making it accessible, verifiable, and resistant to greenwashing. Ignore the Noise - Stay True to Your Vision: Web3’s fast-moving nature is both inspiring and overwhelming. Many founders get caught up chasing trends instead of sticking to their mission and making sure they have a solid product. Success comes from staying focused on your long-term vision, and user-growth, rather than jumping from fad to fad. 2025 - The Year of Enterprise Adoption in Web3: Sunny predicts 2025 will be a breakout year for enterprise blockchain adoption. Expect to see more major partnerships between corporations and Web3 projects, as well as increased use of crypto rails for ESG initiatives and sustainability efforts. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-193-vechain-from-greenwashing-to-proof-tokenizing-esg-and-real-world-impact-with-blockchain Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

Episode 192 - Mercy Corps Ventures - How Web3 & AI are Transforming Humanitarian Aid with Anticipatory Action 50:42

cách đây 9 weeks trước50:42

50:42

In episode 192, we’re excited to welcome Sandra Uwantege Hart , Humanitarian Lab Lead at Mercy Corps Ventures , to explore how blockchain, AI, and innovative funding models are helping to get aid to the right people—before disaster strikes. In this episode, you'll learn Why the humanitarian aid sector is due for a fundamental shift, and how Anticipatory Action is flipping the script on disaster response. How blockchain and Web3 technology are transforming the speed, transparency, and efficiency of aid delivery. The role of Mercy Corps Ventures' Anticipatory Action Accelerator in funding groundbreaking solutions to build climate resilient communities. --Key Takeaways-- Traditional humanitarian aid is reactive and inefficient – Most aid is deployed after disasters strike, leading to delays, high costs, and logistical challenges. A system designed around rapid response often fails to prevent suffering before it happens. Anticipatory Action + Web3 = Gamechanger – By using predictive analytics, data oracles, smart contracts, and decentralized funding, anticipatory action enables aid to be pre-positioned and deployed before disasters occur. Blockchain enhances efficiency, transparency, and trust in these life-saving interventions. The biggest barrier is mindset, not technology – Despite the clear benefits, anticipatory action struggles with adoption due to its complexity and the global tendency to prioritize reaction over prevention. Web3 can shift this dynamic by creating automated, transparent funding models that incentivize proactive aid. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-192-mercy-corps-ventures-how-web3-and-ai-are-transforming-humanitarian-aid-with-anticipatory-action Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

In episode 191, we’re excited to welcome Elizabeth Kukka , CEO of Purpose for Profit , the world’s first tokenized lending fund and on-chain endowment for ESG initiatives. With a bold vision for reimagining impact investing, powered by crypto, Purpose for Profit is tackling one of society’s most pressing challenges: affordable housing. In this episode, we explore: How blockchain can fuel impact investing and drive capital allocation to affordable housing projects. The power of tokenized lending to drive real-world ESG initiatives. Key lessons from Elizabeth’s transition from traditional tech and VC to crypto, and her advice for mission-driven web3 founders. --Key Takeaways-- Tokenized Impact Investing Opens New Doors: Web3 is breaking down barriers in impact investing, allowing individuals to earn while driving positive change. By fractionalizing assets, tokenized lending makes it possible for retail investors to participate in ESG markets that were previously only accessible to institutions. Rebuilding Trust and Breaking Down Greenwashing with On-Chain Transparency : Bringing transactions on-chain enables real-time tracking of funds, ensuring every dollar is accounted for. This transparency not only builds trust but also allows investors to see the tangible impact of their contributions, addressing one of the biggest challenges in ESG investing - greenwashing. Active Participation in Impact Investing : Unlike traditional investing, where shareholders often have limited insight into operations, decentralized, tokenized impact investing can offer a direct connection to impact projects. Investors can engage more meaningfully, gaining visibility into decision-making and progress, fostering a deeper sense of ownership and accountability. --Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-191-purpose-for-profit-tokenized-lending-real-world-assets-and-onchain-impact-investing-for-affordable-housing Thank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!

In episode 153, we’re excited to welcome Professor Tonya Evans, an author, law professor at Penn State specializing in Web3, sought-after consultant, and award-winning tech leader. Oh, and she even testified in front of congress about Web3 regulations. We discuss how Web3 can be key in building more equitable institutions, staying agile in challenging regulatory environments, building inclusion in Web3, and much more. --Three Key Takeaways-- Historically, economic institutions have not been equitable, with certain individuals and groups disproportionately extracting value at the expense of others. By creating a new rules-based economic system, it can help level the playing field by ensuring everyone plays by the same rules. By intentionally including diverse voices in important spaces and conversations, it can go a long way in building a more inclusive Web3. Diverse perspectives bring diverse lived experiences which provide incredible value to projects and organizations, especially in the early stages of building. It can be difficult to stay on top of regulatory challenges in a fast-moving sector like Web3, especially for smaller organizations that don’t have their own legal departments. Thankfully, there are many fantastic free resources online. Although these may not cover everything, the important thing is to start learning now, and to try and stay on top of developments as best as you can. The longer you wait, the harder it will be. -- Full shownotes with links available at-- https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-153-levelling-the-economic-playing-field-with-web3-featuring-prof-tonya-evans -- Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution-- Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus --T his episode was recorded on Zencastr!-- Interested in starting your own podcast?
