Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

TLDR - Exploring conflict and trust in DAOs and decentralized communities

For episode 4 of the Impact on Optimism miniseries, we’re excited to welcome Juan Carlos Bell, Project Lead at Gravity DAO, a conflict management DAO that offers alternative dispute resolution and community building services for web3 projects. We’ll explore the origins of Gravity DAO, dive into the unique challenges DAOs face when it comes to conflict resolution, and learn more about the services they offer to help Web3 projects foster trust and resolve disputes. Juan will also share insights into their experience receiving funding through Optimism’s RetroPGF and how Web3 can help advance conflict management as a public good.

--Key Takeaways--

One of the foundations of Web3 is this idea of trustlessness. However, behind every DAO is people, and the community needs to trust in the reputation of DAO members, especially those in leadership positions. As such, it’s important to focus on activities to intentionally foster trust within your decentralized community.
When compared to traditional organizations, DAOs have added layers of complexity that come with tokens, online communications, and collaboration digitally across borders. With this added complexity comes unique conflict management challenges. DAOs are still very new, so we are still figuring out and experimenting with conflict management, and it’s important for DAO leaders to take regular temp checks in their communities.
Many Web3 projects rely solely on grants in the early days, but grants can be very time consuming and unreliable. Optimism’s RetroPGF, on the other hand, gives projects an opportunity to focus on building, rather than seeking out funding. This was essential in helping Gravity DAO grow and succeed.
If you are in a Web3 community experiencing conflict, reach out to Juan and the Gravity DAO team for support!

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

10 weeks پیش52:39

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.

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!

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.

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!
