Kevin Owocki | Layer Zero

Kevin Owocki is the leader behind the Gitcoin project, but he is also a husband, a father, an ultimate frisbee player, and a self-described hippie. As one of the most compelling individuals in the space, for Kevin it all boils down to coordination. In this episode of Layer Zero, we focus on Slaying Moloch, Incentivizing Public Goods, the Solarpunk aesthetic, and much more. Dive in and find out why we're optimistic about the future of society. ------ 📣 TracerDAO | Perpetual Pools are now Live on Aribtrum! https://bankless.cc/Tracer  ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR https://bankless.cc/Matcha  🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS https://bankless.cc/Ledger  🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING https://bankless.cc/UniGrants  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 4:00 Kevin Owocki & Gitcoin 9:12 Public Goods 13:05 Open-Source Business Model 19:59 Kevin’s Start 28:02 Who is Kevin? 35:00 Running on the Shoulders of Giants 42:00 Solarpunk 50:00 Nightmare Fuel & Branding 54:58 Ethereum vs Moloch 1:00:55 Regen Finance 1:06:24 Optimistic about the Future ------ Resources: Kevin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/owocki?s=20  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
