Stay ConnectedDAOn the Rabbit Hole is the official RabbitHole podcast and is the go-to podcast for people to learn about Web3.
By going down the rabbit hole with experts on a variety of topics like economics, psychology, politics, history, art, technology, and more, we hope to help crypto natives and crypto-curious individuals think about how they can contribute to the Web3 ecosystem while simultaneously helping our Web2 listeners become interested in learning more.

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking to Cherie Hu, Co-Founder of Water and Music, a research publication focused on the intersection of music and tech which has recently undergone the process of becoming a DAO.
We kicked off the conversation discussing the state of the web2 music industry today and how blockchain technology and NFTs offer an alternative business model for musical artists and their fans.
We discuss how digital scarcity is possible in the music industry, which is typically thought of as not scarce at all, with unlimited music streaming virtually for free. Cherie says that what is scarce however, is the relationship between artists and their fans, and it is this scarcity that NFTs can monetize. Cherie also lays out for us her definition of a music NFT and shares how these NFTs can be used to enhance the relationship between artists and their fans.
Next, we break down some big topics into simpler terms. We go over the ways in which fans can acquire NFTs from their favorite web3 music artists and ways that artists can start onboarding themselves into web3. We dive into the complicated topic of DAOs and break down some possible definitions of a DAO. We discuss the creator economy and how NFTs can benefit not only artists, but their fans as well.
Finally we wrap up our conversation by leaving you with some advice on how to onboard into web3 and get started with music NFTs. We hope you enjoy this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole!

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re chatting with Aditi, who initially became enthralled with blockchain technology after witnessing Vitalik himself in a green cat shirt, command a sea of financial businessmen in suits. Today she works for the first modular blockchain network, Celestia.
Aditi dives into how Celestia differs from traditional layer 1 blockchains, how it separates consensus from computation and the difference between data availability and data storage. We discuss rollups and their compatibility with Celestia as well as the kinds of applications that Celestia could benefit in the future.
Finally, we look forward to what 2022 has in store for Celestia and what you can expect to see from them in the year ahead.

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re chatting with Station founder, Tina He. Station is a hub where DAO contributors can come together, discover, and participate in the most exciting places in web3.
Growing up in China, Tina was always a writer and creator who looked to challenge the current system. Her status quo-challenging nature and entrepreneurial spirit led her to both journalism and the USA. After a stint writing about AI at Bloomberg, Tina discovered that her true love was for technology and narrative design.
In this conversation, Tina tells us all about how web3 brings together so many things that she is passionate about. We talk about the power of web3 and to allow new forms of work and coordination, the problems that arise alongside these new opportunities, and some possible solutions. We also discuss systems for incentivizing and rewarding DAO participation, and the impact of web3 on digital identity.
Speaking on Station, Tina explains how she wants to bring the open-source nature and interoperability of web3 to human data and operations. She believes that Station will not only be a one stop shop for employee onboarding in web3, but a robust discovery platform that DAOs and contributors can leverage.

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re chatting with Cryptnotiq, founder of Fraktal. Fraktal is an NFT fractionalization ecosystem consisting of the Fraktal Protocol, their native governance token ($FRAK), and the Fraktal DAO.
Cryptnotiq brings us back to the first days of Fraktal - a project that began as a workaround for sharing revenue generated from music NFT sales. The result is a protocol that allows many people to share ownership over one NFT, opening the doors to all types of new applications.
Cryptnotiq explains the many use cases for fractionalizing NFTs, including increased liquidity and co-ownership. We also discuss the advantages of NFT fractionalization as well as some common misconceptions.
The Fraktal Protocol is entirely governed by Fraktal DAO - a decentralized community of $FRAK holders that protects against any wrongful extraction, and gets rewarded in the process.
Cryptnotiq looks to the future of NFTs and DAOs with optimism, and shares his thoughts on the potential impact of this new technology.
To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things DAOn the Rabbit Hole, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and RabbitHole @rabbithole_gg. You can learn more about Fraktal on Twitter @FraktalNFT and on their website https://www.fraktal.io/.

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking with Evin McMullen. Evin is the co-founder of Disco, a company working to bring decentralized identifiers to the web3 party.
Evin has long understood the value of data and the role it plays in our daily lives. In the web3 space, we finally have the opportunity to take control of that data and use it in new and exciting ways. Evin explains how all of this data comes together to create our digital identities and reputations, and explains how we can better organize and use the data that we choose to put on-chain.
Evin talks about what types of information should and shouldn’t be put on-chain, and how a more robust reputation system can help us solve more interesting coordination problems. She also dives deep into decentralized identifiers and the important role they can play in aggregating the many names, accounts, and wallet addresses we use on a daily basis.

On this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re chatting with Marta Belcher. As a cryptocurrency and civil liberties attorney, Marta wears a lot of hats. She is General Counsel at Protocol Labs, Special Counsel at Electronic Frontier Foundation, and President of the Filecoin Foundation. She focuses a lot of her time on DAOs and policy issues around digital privacy and civil liberties
To kick off our talk, Marta tells us how she initially found crypto through her work with copyrights and patents back in 2015. Even before that, Marta actually crowd-sourced her graduation speech at Stanford. She’s always been interested in how we can make collective decision making stronger and more efficient. So naturally, she sees a lot of potential for web3 and DAOs.
That being said, Marta explains some of the potential legal liabilities that DAOs need to be aware of. She gives us some advice on how to more safely structure these new organizations, and talks about the pros and cons of incorporating as an LLC or similar business entity.
And while Marta certainly is a lawyer, she’s not your lawyer — so please do not take anything in this episode as legal advice. As always, DYOR.
