John Adler On Proof Of Goverance, TIA Staking, and New Tokenomics

Proof of stake might not be the endgame we thought it was.

In today's episode, we sit down with John Adler from Celestia to explore his controversial "proof of governance" proposal that's been ruffling feathers in crypto Twitter.

Let's get into it.
