🎙Episode #7: OSS & Blockchain: Communities & Progress

Oct 17, 2023•2 min read

This edition of the Social Block might just be slightly more interesting for those who code.

Magy sat down with Max Howell, creator of Homebrew and CEO of tea.xyz – a decentralized technology protocol that enables open-source software (OSS) developers to be rewarded for their software contributions.

The topic of the conversation? The interplay between OSS and blockchain, of course. Even if you’re not a developer (which Magy, for one, most certainly is not), the episode has plenty for listeners of all backgrounds, so tune in.

Episode #7: OSS & Blockchain: Communities & Progress

Magy and Max break down the connection between open-source software and blockchain, digging into the nuts and bolts of how community-led software development has been the linchpin in the innovation and ethos of many chains and decentralized ecosystems. In this episode:

🤑How blockchain can change the way open-source devs are compensated for their work.

🐝Why the “hive mind” community thinking inherent in OSS skyrockets progress in blockchain.

🌱How open source and blockchain developers’ non-financial impetus for creating software has shaped the decentralized ethos of our space.
