The Chopping Block: Aave Civil War + Flow Hack + Coinbase Super-App - Ep. 993

In this episode of Choppin' Block, Haseeb, Tarun, and Robert (though Robert is mostly absent) delve into current crypto dramas. They dissect the "DAO civil war" within Aave, discussing the conflict between Aave Labs and the Aave DAO over IP control and revenue streams, and debate the fairness and implications of Aave Labs monetizing the Aave.com website. The panel then shifts to the Flow blockchain hack and the potential rollback, examining the security models of interconnected blockchains and the custodial role of bridges during forks. Finally, they analyze Coinbase's new system updates aimed at becoming an "everything exchange," questioning whether these additions will attract new users or simply upsell existing ones, and contrasting Coinbase's approach with that of Robinhood.
