The Dharma wallet just unveiled the ability to buy ETH thanks to an integration with Uniswap! Dharma is one of our favorite self-custody Ethereum wallets because it's dummy-proof and such a pretty user interface. With Dharma, you are 100% in charge of your assets like ETH and DAI, which means this is a reliable fiat on-ramp that results in ETH (or DAI) that you 100% own and no one can ever take custody of once confirmed on the blockchain. As of June 3rd, 2020, another advantage is Dharma does not charge you gas (transaction fees) to send ETH or DAI to another Ethereum wallet. It does cost 2% in fees when you buy or sell ETH in the Dharma wallet.

The magnitude of crypto gaming is increasingly clear, for those paying attention. For Bryce Johnson of Loot Squad, Gabby Dizon of Yield Guild, and Kieran Warwick of Illuvium, crypto gaming is inevitable.
Existing at the intersection of finance, gaming, and culture, this sector has a gargantuan addressable market. Axie Infinity has tapped into the passion and potential of dedicated communities, building an entire economy around its protocol. As the traditional gaming market flounders, new strides are being taken to revolutionize how we game, how we work, and how we own.

Aztec Protocol | Meet the Nation
Guests: Joe Andrews (CPO) and Zac Williamson (CTO)
Aztec recently rolled out zk.money, a Layer 2 private payments platform on Ethereum. Aztec's mission is to bring privacy to Ethereum while remaining decentralized, permissionless, and scalable. Joe and Zac argue that having self-sovereign custody of assets shouldn't require public disclosures. When you pay someone using Venmo or Paypal, you can't see their net worth.
Current consumers invariably demand privacy and security in their transactions. This trend will continue as blockchains become increasingly integrated into legacy systems. Public blockchains are inherently transparent, and although you can hide behind your public keys, true privacy is elusive.
Aztec is solving this problem on Ethereum through Zero-Knowledge (zk) Cryptography, which can provide for both privacy and scaling. Blockchains are secured through validator nodes, and this cryptographic technology allows nodes to validate transactions without having to see their details. zk.money is live now as a demonstration of their technological innovations.

Jeremy Jenson (@JeremyJenson_) & teMpo (@_teMpoFU) are the Co-Founders of DeadHeads, a multimedia NFT project that’s disrupting Hollywood. How? You might be wondering. One of the many ways is via the technical innovation behind their animated series that allows for distributed IP!
Imagine minting The Simpson’s couch on episode one and holding that digital prop for all these years. Might resell for a pretty penny nowadays! Now stop imagining because this is exactly what the DeadHeads community is doing with their animated series. They’ve differentiated themselves like no other project in the space.
Web3 is coming for Hollywood just like it has for pretty much every other industry thus far. In this episode, you’ll learn firsthand what it takes to decentralize Hollywood, key insights in building IP that lasts for the long term, and how Jeremy & teMpo are thinking about the future of the space.
