In this new episode, we not only break down the recent Compound “governance attack” -- including discussing whether that's the right label for it or not -- but also cover online vs offline governance attacks in general, possible solutions to such governance attacks in the specific, and more.

Great podcast, we've discussed SBT tokens a good way to protect governance. As well as preserving permission-less aura of governance by splitting DAO voting among 2 different tokens.

Also a threshold for amount of votes so that spam votes and attacks aren't possible on a smaller level. And on a larger scale we shrink the council.

It's still decentralized, but also more protected than a sybil attack. Also selling SBT Tokens for voting but only at the larger level.

We back bold entrepreneurs building the next internet.
