"Taming the Wild West" with Serpin Taxt, founder of Ethos | ZEROPOD S2 E14
Welcome back to another episode of ZEROPOD, this one featuring Serpin Taxt, the ambitious young founder of a new protocol called Ethos, which aims to help solve the age-old problem of who to trust (and who not to) in the onchain space. Host Toady Hawk talks about his childhood, his career in web 2, and his goals for Ethos, namely, to tame the wild, wild west of the crypto space… just a bit. So without further ado, let’s go learn about the mythos behind the Ethos. —- Timestamps: 00:00 - The $9B Problem: Scams, Trust, and the Wild West of Crypto 02:25 - Welcome to ZEROPOD: Meet Serpin Taxt, Founder of Ethos 05:00 - Inventor Dreams and Web2 Career 08:00 - Escaping B2B SaaS 11:00 - Discovering Ethereum: Interoperability and Smart Contracts 13:30 - When Crypto Finally Clicked 15:00 - Inspiration from Friend.Tech and the Birth of Ethos 17:00 - Reputation is Everything: Why Trust Signals Matter 19:10 - Realizing a Bigger Vision 21:00 - A Wild West Without Accountability 24:00 - Proof-of-Stake for People: Ethos’s Core Mechanism 26:30 - Avoiding Mob Rule: Risk, Reputation, and Social Slashing 29:00 - Open Moderation and Algorithmic Challenges 31:00 - Reviewing ETH Wallets, Twitter Accounts, and Beyond 33:30 - Identity, Anonymity, and the Risk of Sockpuppets 36:00 - Using Ethos in the Wild: Kaito, Bots, and Reputation vs. Attention 39:00 - Why It's Hard to Call Out Scammers (but Why We Must) 42:00 - The Power of Named Reviews vs. Anonymous Drama 44:00 - NFT Ethics, Gotcha Culture, and the Chaos Incentive 46:00 - Social Slashing 101: How It Works in Ethos 49:00 - Toward Financial Slashing: The Next Big Risk Layer 51:00 - Onboarding: Slow Growth 53:00 - Staying Power: What Keeps Users Coming Back Daily 56:00 - Finding People to Vouch For (and How to Ask for Vouches) 58:30 - Using the Chrome Extension for Discovery and Reviews 1:00:00 - Integrations 1:02:00 - Building Influence Onchain: Ratings for Businesses, Not Just People 1:04:00 - Alpha Drop?

How to Break Through the Noise: Get More Views, Engagement & Reach
This is a recording from "The Secrets to Content Discoverability and Virality" panel that was hosted at Onchain Creator Summit, presented by CryptoSapiens with support from Unlock Protocol, Own The Doge, The Creators during ETHDenver 2025 This panel brings leaders from the web3 space to provide insight for creators looking provide visibility and engagement for their content using Web3 tools. Speakers include: - Russ: CVO, Proof of Vibes - Naomi Metzger: Professional Athlete - Smoke: CEO, Own the Doge - Chris Eberle: CEO, SparkHouse The discussion focused on virality onchain, content creation, and the power of decentralized platforms in building creator-driven communities. Key Takeaways: Creating Viral Content Onchain— - Make content that is worth collecting, treating collectors as early supporters of a creator’s journey. Memes, Virality, and Community Activation— - Memes must be viral to remain relevant and that community-driven storytelling fuels their longevity. Lessons from Traditional Social Media— - Virality principles haven't changed—authenticity, consistency, and audience engagement remain key. - The difference now is creator-owned audiences in Web3, reducing platform dependency and increasing content portability. Cross-Promotion & Audience Engagement— - Adapt content per platform: - Farcaster → personal & community-driven - Instagram → personality-focused - Engage by replying to comments; make the audience feel valued. Collaboration & Growth Strategies— - Engage in deep networking and partnerships to drive virality. - Community-driven amplification (e.g., Farcaster, Base, Clanker) helps creators scale organically. Advice for New Creators— - Don’t fear cringe. Virality often comes from persistence. - Web2 creators are in demand—brands need content, so reaching out can open opportunities. - Consistency isn’t just about posting daily—it's about maintaining a recognizable style and personality. Underrated Niches in Onchain Content— - Comedy is underrepresented but could be a strong onboarding tool. - Innovative storytelling formats (e.g., meme-driven narratives) have untapped potential. Final Thoughts— - Keep building. Even if engagement is low initially, one person can change everything. - Own your content, own your audience. Web3 enables true creative independence. The panel ended with a call to action: embrace Web3, experiment, and collaborate to push the boundaries of onchain creativity.
"Take It To The BANKR" with TN100X & BANKR Founder 0xDeployer | ZEROPOD S2 E13
Welcome back, fearless Ethereum enjoyooors to another episode of ZEROPOD. And this episode is a special one because it is actually the very first podcast appearance by the elusive figure known only as 0xDeployer aka Big Daddy Ham, the creator of so many things but most recently the breakout success Bankr, an in-feed ai agent that can trade for you using natural language on X and Farcaster. Hosts Toady Hawk and JackWyldes dig in with Deployer to hear about his childhood, his crypto journey and the exhaustive lineage of all his projects leading up to Bankr, including The LP, TN100X, Hamchain and more. We learn that he taught himself to code from a book at Barnes & Noble, we hear about how he first bought Ethereum at $80 (and sold it at $90), and we get some exclusive alpha like the fact that he has a secret Bankr cofounder and fancies himself a glamper.

Solana Insiders Wanted to Reduce Inflation, but It Failed. Here’s What the Proposal’s Author Thinks
The proposal to significantly reduce Solana's inflation didn’t pass.

Ethereum Is Winning—So Why Is ETH Still Undervalued?
Vivek Raman and Danny Ryan are the CoFounders of Etherealize. In this episode, we speak with Etherealize about their highly touted team focused on marketing, business development, and product on behalf of Ethereum. Despite Ethereum's dominance as the most trusted and secure blockchain for DeFi, tokenization, and institutional adoption, ETH remains undervalued so we get right into the weeds about how they believe we can fix the disconnect between Ethereum the network and ETH the asset.

11: Eugene Wei - Amusing Each Other to Death
Eugene Wei is a writer, product thinker, and cultural observer best known for his essays on technology, media, and social networks, including “Status as a Service”, “Invisible asymptotes”, and “TikTok and the Sorting Hat.” Eugene spent seven years at Amazon in its early days before following a brief detour to pursue filmmaking at UCLA. He then led product, design, editorial, and marketing teams at Hulu, co-founded Erly, and worked at Flipboard and Oculus. Today, he works on his own ideas at the intersection of media and technology while advising and angel investing. This conversation explores the evolving landscape of entertainment, social media, community, and humanity in our digital age—topics Eugene has examined deeply. We revisit some of Eugene’s greatest hits on how platforms like Twitter and TikTok shape society and also get into fresh ideas he’s yet to share publicly. We start by discussing how today’s social media world compares to the television-centric world that Neil Postman lamented in “Amusing Ourselves to Death,” and how entertainment-maximizing, adversarial, algorithmic social platforms might lead us to “Amusing Each Other to Death.” Eugene unpacks TikTok’s profound impact on our “digital nervous system,” differentiating between social networks and social media—highlighting the latter’s emphasis on frictionless positivity rather than meaningful connection. Amid rising nihilism among young people, Eugene analyzes how cultural and economic structures contribute to lost hope, exploring social media’s role in exacerbating these trends. We discuss power laws influencing tech, media, sports, and finance, and how that drives pervasive speculation across culture. Then, he traces these themes through American television, from 1960s-1990s sitcoms to shows like The Sopranos, Succession, and Industry, revealing how they reflect the erosion of community and purpose in late-stage capitalism. Throughout, Eugene offers nuanced observations on how technology’s removal of friction has paradoxically weakened our sense of meaning and connection. We wrap up with how AI might shape media and creativity, what elements of humanity may be valued in the future, learnings from Bezos and film school, and a movie recommendation for anyone trying to make sense of it all.

Bits + Bips: Trump Has Spread Uncertainty Across All Markets. What’s Next?
The market is a wreck, and nobody knows where it’s going next. With Trump’s unpredictability, Fed policy on edge, and crypto in limbo, the gang examines what could turn this around—or make it even worse. The markets are a bloodbath. If you’re feeling lost in the markets right now, you’re not alone. Stocks are getting crushed, bonds are sliding, and crypto isn’t escaping the carnage. The question is: why is everything selling off—and where does it go from here? One thing is clear: the next market move is extremely hard to predict. Between Trump’s economic policies, inflation worries, and DOGE’s cuts, there’s a storm of conflicting signals. So, is this pain temporary? Or are we looking at a long trend downward?

White House Crypto Summit: Two Attendees Share Why It Matters
The White House just sent its biggest pro-crypto signal yet. What does it mean for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and U.S. financial policy? The election of Donald Trump marked a sea change for U.S. crypto policy. The symbolism of that transformation was on full display at the White House’s first-ever Crypto Summit, at which President Trump met with several crypto business leaders. But what was actually said behind closed doors? And does this mark the beginning of a truly pro-crypto shift—or just another short-lived political move? In this episode, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe and former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo break down what really happened at the summit, whether the proposed Bitcoin reserve is a smart idea or a political gimmick, and why some believe the U.S. dollar could one day be backed by BTC.
The Gameshow that Pays to Play

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today's GM Farcaster kicks off with time-change-induced chaos, as the crew tries to shake off the Monday fog and dive into the latest Farcaster updates—including the slow but inevitable phase-out of warps in favor of USDC. Meanwhile, Dan Romero's 'office phone booth' meme takes on a life of its own, Farcaster Fridays go global with meetups from Seattle to Madrid, and the battle over what to call mini-apps (Frapps? Frames? Just ‘apps’?) proves once again that crypto people love making up new words.
