Ana Konda Has a Picture of a Menacing Individual

Ana Konda is a Macedonian born musician based in Toronto. She’s an odd jobs-woman, a daughter and a friend, currently 27 years old. Her no-f*cks-given attitude has earned her a reputation as someone to not f*ck with. Raised in the Balkan organized crime underbelly known as East York, she is no stranger to salacious scandals and disturbed individuals. The dimly lit alleys and dubious characters make for an atmosphere so deeply unsettling, Kafka-esque, and Lynchian, that even huge dudes feel unsafe. For Ana, though, it's no big deal. She's never felt fear. I asked her if she knew what fear meant and she said she'd never heard that word before. Her upcoming solo EP, Trauma Porn, is a coming-of-age narrative-based exploration of sexuality and violence in early womanhood. Her sound, which is unique as hell, weaves together Euro-style beats, intricate guitar riffs, and deeply personal lyrics. The EP will be dropping this summer but if you listen to this episode, you can hear a sneak preview (which is exclusive, by the way.) When she's not making music or strolling through the east end, Ana is likely hanging with her fabulous group of girlfriends who text regularly in an iMessage group chat. They like to share and describe their dreams with one another and hardcore analyze them. The dreams that these gals are having at night are extremely vivid, much more so than my dreams or yours. Like, super vivid...

A Beginner’s Guide To ETH Treasury Companies

Kyle Reidhead is the Founder of Impact3 and Co-Owner of The Milk Road. In this episode, we provide a comprehensive guide on ETH treasury companies, publicly traded firms focused on acquiring and staking ETH for their balance sheets, while tapping into DeFi to earn yield. We explore how these firms raise capital to buy more ETH, how staking/DeFi differentiates them from BTC treasury companies, why metrics like mNAV, share count, and ETH purchase-to-issuance ratio matter, and how this new Wall Street phenomenon is driving an outsized bid to buy a shrinking supply of ETH. ------ 🔗 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 | THE LEADING MODULAR BLOCKCHAIN ORACLE https://www.redstone.finance/ 🥞 SYRUPUSDC BY MAPLE | DEFI'S PREMIUM YIELD ASSET https://app.maple.finance/earn?referral=Mig0gHP59IYC 🦅 ⁠FALCON⁠ | OVERCOLLATERIZED SYNTHETIC DOLLAR - POINTS PROGRAM NOW LIVE https://app.falcon.finance?r=0ec4ccafcd94a7756710278ebfd7dd4b ⚡ ⁠SPARK⁠ | THE ONCHAIN CAPITAL ALLOCATOR https://link.spark.fi/Defi_Dad 🏦 MANTLE | INNOVATING THE FUTURE OF ONCHAIN FINANCE https://group.mantle.xyz/ ⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED https://gearbox.fi/ 🐡⁠ PUFFER UNIFI⁠ | A BASED ROLLUP TO ETHEREUM WITH NATIVE YIELDS https://www.puffer.fi/unifi 📈⁠ RUMPEL⁠ | TURN POINTS INTO PROFITS https://www.rumpel.xyz/ ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 6:49 - Kyle, Impact3, and The Milk Road 12:00 - Why Kyle’s team is so long ETH 18:17 - Is it a DAT or ETH treasury company? 19:23 - What is mNAV and how the premium trades 23:54 - How publicly traded companies pivot to ETH DATs 29:11 - Importance of share count 31:26 - Sponsor break 32:36 - How ETH DATs raise money to buy more ETH 39:02 - Staking and DeFi yield for public markets 43:50 - Picking winners among ETH DATs 49:20 - The shift with ETH price leading sentiment 56:21 - ETH purchase / issuance ratio 59:29 - Sponsor break 1:01:05 - Key takeaways from recent talks with Joe Lubin 1:05:17 - BTCS is a standout as an operator 1:11:28 - Ethereum DeFi 2.0 comes next 1:17:20 - Risks 1:27:06 - Recent OTC ETH buy from EF 1:29:52 - When will the market top out? 1:31:03 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Strategic ETH Reserve website: https://strategicethreserve.xyz/ ► Crypto Treasuries website: https://cryptotreasuries.com/ ► Milk Road website: https://milkroad.com/ ► Milk Road on X: https://x.com/MilkRoadDaily ► Impact3 website: https://impact3.co/ ► Impact3 on X: https://x.com/Impact3Growth ► Kyle on X: https://x.com/kyleReidhead ------ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions.

How Revnets Are Rewriting the Rules of Onchain Businesses With Jango

This week we sat down with Jango, the creator behind Juicebox, to dive deep into the world of revnets—a novel approach to tokenizing business models and aligning incentives across builders, investors, and customers in Web3. We explore the shortcomings of traditional business models and typical tokens, and how the revenant model turns the tables by making your customers true stakeholders in your success. You'll hear about the origins of Juicebox, the journey from experiment to essential DAO fundraising tool, and how Jango's obsession with programmable business models led to a whole new way of thinking about revenue, loyalty, and transparency on-chain. If you’ve ever wondered how a modern on-chain business can sustain itself, align all parties, and drive collaborative growth, this conversation is for you. Jango unpacks how revnets work—think automatic, immutable, revenue-backed tokens—and shares practical examples, including his own experiences launching projects like the Banny PFP collection. With insights into decentralized governance, the future of open-source funding. 00:00 Discussing Juicebox's Accidental Origins 10:00 Token Fundraising and Governance Challenges 13:57 Token Incentives and Revenue Growth 20:22 Towards Inclusive Consumer Engagement 23:16 Decentralized Business Funding Evolution 29:38 Revnets: Launching Omni-Chain Tokens 34:47 Banny Revnet: DAO Cartoon Shopping Experience 44:26 Perpetual Halvening and Revenue Shares 45:33 Revenue Redistribution Strategy Evaluation 54:32 Token Loan Network Cashout Dynamics 58:45 Revnet Platforms and Tokenization 01:03:55 Debate on Token Structure 01:07:01 Exploring Tech Trade-offs ___ CastOff/Episode Discussion, here (https://t.me/+oy6j0NBQObsyZjEx).

OBUSD: Stability for Builders, Backed by Grants.

Imagine a world where building on a blockchain doesn’t mean waiting forever for money. Meet OBUSD, the big helper for builders in 2025. Instead of making developers wait a long time for grant money, OBUSD offers a smart way to get needed money quickly.Here's how it works: Builders put in stablecoins, like USDC, into OBUSD. It’s not just about keeping money safe—it’s about making more money through DeFi lending pools. The extra money made is shared with projects that need it, giving builders money when they need it most. "You don’t have to wait anymore – OBUSD makes it automatic," says Ruben from OBUSD.What makes OBUSD special is how it uses attestations and endorsements. This makes getting money simpler. When a project gets a grant okay and some thumbs-up from Optimism citizens, it gets monthly money, making things much easier for builders. But OBUSD is more than just a tool—it’s a team builder. By sharing money among projects, it turns tough times into team efforts. Builders aren’t alone; they're on a team, sharing ideas and help through the OBUSD platform.In a world where old ways of grants can’t keep up with fast changes, OBUSD gives a new way that isn’t just about hope, but real support. It’s a step to a better, friendly future for building on blockchains.Is OBUSD the future of getting money? Its smart way makes it a question worth thinking about.
