Rebuilding the Creator Economy coverart

Rebuilding the Creator Economy

For centuries, creators have given up a big share of their earnings for a chance to reach audiences. In 18th century England, authors’ desires to break free of censorship and exercise the power of the written word led to the growth of modern copyright law, a key pillar of the creator economy. But to this day, publishers and distributors of content have enormous power over how creators make money and grow with their audiences.What if that didn’t have to be the case? What if, by “going onchain” through blockchain-based apps and platforms, creators could gain complete ownership over their content and create new revenue models, where they (not publishers or platforms) could set the terms?We’ll examine what it means to create, consume, and connect onchain — and find out how this next evolution of the online world could rebuild the creator economy as we know it.

Removing barriers to art with Gaetane Verna

Born in the Congo and raised in Montréal, today’s guest both embodies and promotes the cultural diversity of her new hometown, Toronto, where she is the Director of The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Canada’s leading public gallery. Without a permanent collection, Gaetane isn’t bogged down by the past and instead keeps her finger on the pulse of the contemporary art world AND current issues in society. It is her job to find and present a wide array of diverse artists who often question history, challenge injustice and inequities while also producing works that transcend the mere materials being used. She and the art presented at the Power Plant are always looking forward and staying relevant to the issues of interest to both artists and audiences alike, and in the process, prompting a more constructive conversation around cultural change.

How Omni Network Will Unite All Rollups and Unf*ck Ethereum

Austin King is the CoFounder of Omni Network and CEO of Omni Labs. In this episode, we discuss how Omni Network is reuniting Ethereum's L2 scaling ecosystem. With Omni's Core Mainnet live, we explore how Omni empowers developers to access users and liquidity across all rollups, without smart contract upgrades. This conversation covers why Austin's team at Omni believes the solution is more obvious than ever to fixing what's been broken for DeFi users navigating L2s and what we can expect from a more united Ethereum UX in 2025, while maintaining the benefits of maximum decentralization. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ♦️ REDSTONE ORACLES | THE FASTEST GROWING ORACLE FOR DEFI https://redstone.finance/ 📈 iYIELD | YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://go.iyield.com/edge 🧪 MANTLE | START YOUR RESTAKING JOURNEY TODAY WITH CMETH https://meth.mantle.xyz/restake 🐡 PUFFER UNIFI | A BASED ROLLUP TO ETHEREUM WITH NATIVE YIELDS https://unifi.puffer.fi/ 🌔 MOONWELL | THE LEADING LENDING AND BORROWING APP ON BASE https://moonwell.fi/ ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 5:01 - What is Omni Network? 6:15 - Austin’s previous work and how it led to Omni 8:13 - Ethereum is scaling but “in an uncomfortable stage” 9:54 - Ethereum’s vision is clearer than CT gives it credit 11:54 - Unf*ck Ethereum campaign 13:16 - How does Omni unf*ck Ethereum? 15:18 - Reception to this campaign 17:16 - Maximalists are loyalists and why we need them 20:33 - How Omni Network works? 24:16 - Incentivizing Omni Network solvers 25:18 - Example how DeFi users will benefit from Omni 26:34 - How will Omni solvers serve larger liquidity 28:43 - What’s live with Omni Core Mainnet? 29:39 - Benefits of Everclear and Omni working together 30:47 - What if EF enshrined infra overlapping with Omni? 32:55 - Mantle mid-roll 33:36 - How could/will Uniswap participate in Omni? 36:12 - Thoughts on based rollups vs Omni Network scaling solution 39:10 - When will the benefits of Omni be obvious to DeFi users? 41:32 - OMNI token utility 42:03 - Addressing cynics of Omni Network 48:16 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Omni Network Website: https://omni.network/ ► Omni on X/Twitter: https://x.com/OmniFDN ► Austin on X/Twitter: https://x.com/0xASK ------ If you're a DeFi/Web3 builder, contact our team at: https://fourthrevolution.capital/ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions and not necessarily those of Fourth Revolution Capital.
