My guest today is Jango, co-founder of Juicebox Protocol, Revnets, Defifa, and Bananpus.
Launched in 2021, Juicebox is a programmable fundraising protocol that has processed more than $180 million of contributions to over 1000 projects, from culture DAOs to open source projects. Most recently, Juicebox Protocol facilitated over 300 ETH in donations to the legal defense fund for Tornado Cash developers Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm.
Juicebox's core mechanic issues receipt tokens for each contribution to a given project, which can be redeemed at a later date for a portion of the remaining treasury. Issuance schedules can be defined onchain up-front, making possible trustless token launches and clear onchain relationships between project founders and contributors.
On today's episode, Jango joins me to discuss a bunch of new projects that have emerged from the Juicebox ecosystem. Bananapus, Juicebox's much anticipated cross-chain evolution, will enable contributing funds to a project on any L2, while maintaing Juicebox's trustless receipt token mechanics. Revnets, a fully automated form of Juicebox project, will replace DAO governance with predefined and immutable token issuance rules, simplifying project diligence and ongoing maintenance for project creators and contributors. Finally Bannyverse, a new NFT project, will bring Juicebox's beloved Banny the banana mascot onchain with a plethora of customizable accessories, with unique wearables for each L2 chain.
It was fantastic catching up with Jango about all of the exciting projects he's been working on over the past year. I hope you enjoy the show.
