Here’s a recap from this episode where we talked about Rare Evo highlights, Hydra utility, governance challenges, and Catalyst proposals.
We interviewed :
Rare Evo Highlights – Discussion on the success of the event, featuring a Hydra-powered vending machine that distributed items like laptops and luxury purses. The machine used NFC tokens for engagement and points collection, showcasing Hydra’s scalability and real-world utility.
Governance & Proposals – Focus on the challenges of Cardano governance. Key points included the need for a review period before proposal voting (with comments and edits allowed until the 18th), and debate on the concept of an “executive function.” Concerns were raised about centralization of power, with strong emphasis on community input, decentralization, and the role of DReps. The group also noted the importance of transparency, accountability, and a non-executory communication body to streamline decision-making.
Privacy & Usability – Highlighted the importance of privacy in financial transactions, better user interfaces, and the potential of Cardano Cash for offline payments.
Catalyst – Reminder about the upcoming Catalyst proposal submission deadline and the need for active participation from the community.
