Uneasy Money: ICOs are back and why airdrops are instantly dumped

On this week's episode of 'Uneasy Money', Unchained's new livestream series, hosts Kain Warwick, Luca Netz and Taylor Monahan dive into the most significant news stories from the week.

In this first episode of Uneasy Money, hosts dig into the Balancer hack, Berachain’s centralized response, the sudden return of ICO-style distribution, and why some new drops give away so little.

Luca explains why he thinks generous airdrops are essential for building a real “army,” Taylor breaks down MetaMask’s own thinking on token incentives, and Kain questions whether any of these models still make sense in a sentiment-driven market.

Plus, Uniswap's fee switch proposal and the 'tea' on Velodrome and Aerodrome. Watch the full episode of Uneasy Money. 

Kain recently joined Uneasy Money to co-host with Luca (CEO of Pudgy Penguins) and Taylor (Security at MetaMask), creating a powerhouse trio that brings together DeFi innovation, NFT ecosystem building, and wallet infrastructure expertise.

Laura Shin said, “When things move onchain, these are the voices you’d want to hear.” This blend of perspectives promises rich discussions about where crypto is heading.

Uneasy Money streams from Kain's X every Wednesday at 3pm ET.
