In this Friday episode of the Sloika Darkroom, CEO and Co-founder, Ev Tchebotarev leads us in our regular tech talk to bring everyone up to speed on recent events and issues in the web3, crypto, and NFT photography space. Our talk covered the news of Coinbase bankrolling the lawsuit, Tornado Cash, Sloika’s first uniquely non-upgradable smart contract and how it delivers benefits compared to other smart contracts and platform contracts like those on OpenSea, SuperRare, Foundation. How collectors like AlphaTrilogy prefer "frozen metadata", Sloika grants for female photographers, young photographers, and photographers in emerging markets, the ETH merge and its relationship with TTD (Total Terminal Difficulty), and Ultrasound.money to track the Merge. We also brought several speakers to the stage for a conversation about building integrity and credibility in the web3 space especially surrounding the definition of 1/1 NFT art and editions in light of a thread highlighted by the collector Ashtar. Recorded September 9, 2022.

Speakers included Ev Tchebotarev, Subodh Shetty, Pelin Genc, Ashton Tekno, Dave Yoder, Thérèse B, Polly Pierce, Steve Bennett, and Pam Voth.
