Review of Decentralized Society and Soulbound Tokens Paper by Vitalik (Teaser)

The Blockchain Socialist | 2022-09-12 | 3:31

In this bonus episode I give my review of the recent article published titled Decentralized Society: Finding Web3's Soul written by Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, Glen Weyl, and Puja Ohlhaver. The paper received a bit of attention as it goes into some high level details about how the authors view a potential future with the use of blockchains for more non-financial uses. This includes in particular leveraging what Vitalik termed as "soulbound" tokens, or largely non-transferrable NFTs which has been controversial for many.  Instead of taking pundits for their word I took a deep dive into the paper myself and share some of my thoughts on what is being presented in it.
