Hi, everyone. Welcome to the A6 and Z podcast. I'm Sonal. Today's episode is on analogies between

crypto networks and cities, covering everything from where the analogy works and where it breaks

down to how communities emerge bottom up, but also at top-down vision and design. And what happens

when we have mass coordination at unprecedented scale? The discussion is moderated by guest host Devin Zougal in conversation with Dennis Nazarov,

Jesse Walden, and Ali Yaya, all of the A6 and Z crypto team.

So for starters, Ali recently had a great tweet about how crypto networks are similar

to cities and not so much like individuals and firms.
