Mint & Burn

This episode introduces the concepts of 'cryptoeconomics' and 'the digital economy' with Professor Jason Potts and Professor Sinclair Davidson from RMIT University in Melbourne, hosted by Kelsie Nabben. 'Mint & Burn' offers an academic analysis of the decentralised digital economy, including blockchain and other decentralised technologies. We interview academics, discuss interesting publications and denote academic rigour to ideas and issues surrounding decentralised digital infrastructure. This podcast is for academics, industry, policy-makers and anyone interested in a deeper understanding of the digital age.

In this dynamic episode, we discuss engineering methods in Web3, algorithmic systems, what are DAOs, the governance of algorithmic processes, and applied examples of governing machine learning processes in a sub-DAO of GitcoinDAO with engineering expert Danilo Lessa Bernardineli from BlockScience.

In this episode, we're joined by PhD graduate Zane Griffin Talley Cooper to discuss his research on BIT, COIN, RARE EARTH, blockchain and the environment, and what sustainability means in Web3.0. A not to miss episode!

In this episode, we're joined by RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub economist Dr Peyman Khezr to discuss cryptoeconomics and game theory. We explore the utility of blockchains, how to think about how to choose governance mechanisms in blockchain systems, and some specific mechanisms, including quadratic voting, time, and bond voting. By analyzing relatively new mechanisms in blockchain governance, we see how blockchains are evolving in the pursuit of reducing transaction costs.

Episode 2 covers 'blockchain code as antitrust law', including how the law can supplement competition to enhance competition in technology and other markets for a healthy society.
