The Crypto Altruism Podcast explores the intersections of cryptocurrency, blockchain, and social impact, and covers inspiring use cases, new technological breakthroughs, and mission-driven projects hoping to change the world for the better.

In episode 124, we’re excited to welcome Chadd Weston, Chief Design Officer at Calaxy, a next-generation social marketplace that is using blockchain to usher in a new era of Creator monetization and fan engagement. We discuss how Web3 can help build a fairer creator economy, restoring authenticity in the creator-fan relationship with on-chain provenance, combatting AI deepfakes with blockchain, building on Hedera Hashgraph, and much more. 

--Three Key Takeaways--

‍
• Blockchain can help restore trust in the creator-fan relationship through on-chain provenance and decentralized identification, allowing creators to prove, without a doubt, that they are who they say they are, and allowing them to engage in more authentic interactions with followers.
• In a world where the signal-to-noise ratio is all off thanks to AI Deepfakes, the transparency and immutability enabled by blockchain will be a gamechanger in helping social platforms address AI deepfakes and restore a more balanced signal-to-noise ratio.
• Web3 enables ownership in the creator economy in a way that hasn’t existed before. Creators can now have true ownership over all their content and the network they spent years building, while having a greater opportunity to monetize their content and build a career as a Creator.
