| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Layers0. Layers0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that |
| 0:11.9 | make up the Ethereum community. Crypto is built by code, but it's composed by people, |
| 0:16.1 | and each individual member of the crypto community has their own story to tell. |
| 0:20.3 | CypherPunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it, and Layers0 |
| 0:24.4 | focuses on the people behind the code, because Ethereum is people all the way down, and |
| 0:28.4 | it always has been. Today, on Layers0, I'm talking with MetaDreamer out of the MetaFactory |
| 0:33.6 | DAO, but MetaDreamer, he's a DAOer, so he's a bar of many different parts of the Ethereum |
| 0:38.7 | ecosystem. And every time I talk to MetaDreamer either through Zoom or on Discord or in real |

| 1:18.8 | these systems correctly. And so he's very tapped into the whole point about crypto is |
| 1:23.4 | to change culture. The whole point about this whole revolution in digital money and digital |
| 1:28.2 | finance is to have a better society. And I think a lot of people when they come into the |
| 1:33.3 | crypto space, they feel that, but they're in my mind is not enough conversations explicitly |
| 1:38.5 | talking in that direction. And so that is what bankless station you are about to listen to |
| 1:43.4 | right after we get to some of these fantastic sponsors that make the show possible. |
| 1:47.1 | Polygon is Ethereum's largest and most vibrant scaling solution to date with millions of |
