ABOUT

On “Carpe Consensus,” hosts Ben Schiller and Danny Nelson dive into the latest crypto news.

[1:15] Ben kicks off the show by recounting his time on the (muddy) playa of Burning Man 2023. Are some foundational ideals of the festival harmonious with the crypto ethos?
[6:07] Inside the Desk: North Korea-linked hacker collective Lazarus Group has been linked to yet another crypto hack.
[12:06] Danny’s Dungeon: NounsDAO is the latest decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to undergo a so-called “rage quit.” The mechanism for this particular treasury split is relatively new and allows disaffected investors to, potentially, exit peacefully.

“Carpe Consensus” is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl.
