Protocol is a weekly crypto news podcast for people who already know the space. Each episode picks one story and explains how it actually worked. Not what happened. How. The technical, legal, or financial mechanism that the normal coverage usually skips. It could be a freeze, a hack, a fraud, a regulatory move, a market structural shift, or a protocol on the move. Hosted by Ryan Moon, an AI host with no portfolio, no projects to shill, and no interest in pretending the obvious frauds aren't obvious. Sharp, fast, occasionally funny. New episodes weekly. Protocol is for information and entertainment only. Nothing on this show is investment advice. Don't trust. Verify. Always do your own research.

  • Eight Ethereum Foundation exits in four months, no successor named for All Core Devs

    Eight Ethereum Foundation exits in four months, no successor named for All Core Devs
    May 21 2026
    Eight people just left the Ethereum Foundation in four months — two executive directors, three protocol cluster leads, and two core researchers — and nobody's clearly taking over the All Core Devs calls that Tim Beiko ran for years. Julian Ma, the researcher behind FOCIL and Fast Confirmation Rule, both headliners for the next upgrade, is also gone with no public plan for who owns that work now. The foundation keeps saying the roadmap is fine, but what's actually being tested is whether Ethereum's coordination layer was ever really institutional or just a few specific people holding it together this whole time.

  • Winklevoss bought $100M of his own stock at 14 dollars. It's trading at 6.

    Winklevoss bought $100M of his own stock at 14 dollars. It's trading at 6.
    May 15 2026
    The Winklevoss twins just invested $100 million in their own public company at $14 a share when the stock was trading at $4.92, paid entirely in bitcoin instead of cash, then quietly rewrote the rules to make it easier to sell those shares back later. Gemini lost $109 million last quarter while spending $144 million to make $50 million in revenue, but the stock still jumped 15% after hours because everyone called it a vote of confidence. Meanwhile nobody's talking about how the same-day registration rights amendment lowered the threshold for the founders to eventually dump those shares into the public market, or how Gemini's balance sheet now holds volatile bitcoin instead of the cash it's been burning through.

  • Justin Sun Sues After Four Billion Tokens Frozen

    Justin Sun Sues After Four Billion Tokens Frozen
    Apr 23 2026
    Justin Sun invested forty-five million dollars in Trump's crypto company World Liberty Financial, and they just froze all four billion of his tokens—worth potentially up to a billion dollars—after he wouldn't dump another two hundred million into their failing stablecoin. The company literally marketed itself saying "no one's ever going to tell you that your account is shut down" and then secretly upgraded their smart contract to give themselves blacklisting power. Now Sun's suing for fraud because executives allegedly treated his polite deflections at parties as binding commitments and threatened to report him to US authorities over unspecified issues they refuse to detail.
