INTRODUCTION


Joshua Dávila, The Blockchain Socialist: Hi everyone! You're listening to The Blockchain Socialist Podcast. I am here at Offline, which is a very neat space in Berlin. I highly recommend people check it out, if you're in the area they have really great events. We are here because of my comrade Giulio from the Crypto Commons Association, who has been working on a project called the Commons Economy Roadmap, which he'll explain to us, and together we're going to speak to Chris Goes, who is the co-founder of Anoma.

So maybe to start off I'll let Giulio explain a bit and introduce the Commons Economy Roadmap, and how this all relates to all the neat stuff that is going on at Anoma.

Giulio Quarta: Yeah. Thank you, Josh. Excited to do an episode together, finally, after three years of events and knowing each other. First of all I want to mention that the Crypto Commons Association is a member of the **Breadchain Cooperative.**

So yeah, the Commons Economy Roadmap, briefly, is a research and promotion project. We selected 20 projects that we considered the most interesting and relevant and commons-oriented of the alternative economics space, but not only blockchains, and we are generating basic knowledge on them. We call them project cards and you can look at them in our website, and then extra materials like articles and interviews like this.

This is the first podcast interview with a media partner, which is The Blockchain Socialist. Anoma is one of the 20 projects, thank you for contributing to this first iteration. In this episode, we will dive deep into Anoma, try to understand it better.

The 20 projects featured in CER’s first iteration.

TBS: So maybe Chris, if you want to just introduce a bit of yourself and what Anoma is. Then we'll start digging into a lot of the really interesting and crazy technical innovations you guys are working on and what the socio-political implications are.
