Adams also offers insights into setting technology boundaries in his personal life and expresses his interest in bringing blockchain technology to blue-collar industries.

Chewing Glass - Nick Frostbutter (Solana Foundation, Solfate Podcast) - FINAL EPISODE!

In this episode, Austin chats with Kollan House, cofounder of MetaDAO, the first project to put the concept of futarchy into practice since its conception in the early 2000's. Put simply, futarchy is a system of governance that uses market mechanics to make decisions. MetaDAO provides a platform to create, manage, and participate in futarchies, and is itself governed by a futarchy. Kollan breaks down how market-based governance works, gives real-world examples of futarchic voting proposals, and addresses the viability of futarchy's economics and ethics. 

0:00 - What is futarchy?
3:14 - How does market-based governance work?
5:33 - Risks of market crashes in futarchy
8:46 - What happens when futarchy participants run out of money?
11:04 - Dealing with market capture in futarchy
12:45 - Handling votes on highly specialized issues
18:43 - Where does the profit come from in futarchy?
21:36 - Examples of futarchic votes
26:14 - The difference between prediction markets and futarchy
29:09 - Proposals that have gone through MetaDAO thus far 
32:31 - Why futarchy is more than buying votes
36:54 - MetaDAO's tooling
38:55 - PMF for futarchy
41:17 - How do you avoid the capture of governance by social sentiment?

Solana Changelog Jul 17 - More deprecated removals, precombiles, web3 developer bootcamp, and more

In this episode, Austin chats with Ray Jacobson (Audius) about what decentralization unlocks for the music streaming ecosystem. In contrast with legacy streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, Audius leverages blockchain to increase accounting transparency for artists. The platform allows artists to have more control over monetization methods, helping to build deeper and more direct relationships with fans through tools like remix competitions, pre-release options, and more. The conversation further dives into Audius' partial migration from Ethereum to Solana, the integration of traditional music licensing with decentralized systems, product-market fit, and more.
