Welcome to the new season of The Digital Gold Podcast. This is season two and I'm sitting here today with Stefan Russ, the founder of Laguna. Stefan, welcome to the show. Super excited to be here. I'm excited to launch it again, especially with you, man. It's a great story you have and I'm excited to dive into it for everyone.Yeah. So tell me more about Laguna Labs. How did you, when did you have the idea that we needed the products that you guys set out to build? So, it was started off a while back, right when Covid hit government, shut everything down. What are we gonna do? How are we gonna live with. we'll print a lot of money, but it's not gonna have any impact on no impact.No impact whatsoever. We can shut down old economy, it's not gonna have any impact, and we'll just print money anyway. And I just felt something's gotta give. Right? And then, and ultimately it was inflation, right? And so all I, well, I was also intrigued by terror, the stable coin that they launched. And so how can we build an inflation protected stable coin and then ultimately provide more governance on chain as it relates.quantitative easing, quantitative tightening. Mm-hmm. . And that there's a transparent, you know, not curated, immutable, visible, participatory sort of way of supporting the economy and opportunities. And so you mentioned a way that couldn't be obstructed or manipulated, so you had to build your own data source, right?Yeah, yeah. So we, we looked at how the data source is being aggregate. We noticed that it was like more than a hundred years old, right? So they built this back in 1920s. Wow. So it was like on paper and pencil, on paper and pen surveys, you know, And now they do the same surveys and they do it with iPads,That's the innovation. And so we just felt, let's take a developer mindset to do this. Um, how do we aggregate some, I think we've sourced from 50 million different source, 50 different sources. Okay. 18 million items that we track on a daily basis. 18 million. That you guys track all via programmatic, all programmatic, all on chain, visible for free to anybody that wants to go look at a dashboard and you can see.12 indexes at the moment, but we'll have about 50 in about a week's time. Wow. So these indexes, what, What are they? What everyday? Household goods. Household goods, rent, you know, is it rent that you're paying? Is it a mortgage you're paying? The prices of housing. is it food? Is it in food that you eat in at home and you cook grocery store food?Or is it food you eat out at a restaurant? Your utility bills, your the cost of electricity, because ultimately that's influencing the amount you transport, right? Your transportation costs the cost of everything. The cost of everything, right? Electricity, I mean gas. It's like we got these two building blocks of our lives and we don't realize how much the cost affects exactly. that's really just, we've just been focused on that and try to identify all new sources. So just before I got, we started this podcast, I had a call with a entity outta Switzerland that are aggregating environmental data. Okay. And so they've hashed it all on the blockchain. And so we are working with them to put that and make that available to smart contract developers so that smart contract developers then can build product.Financial instruments that allow anybody to hedge themselves and protect their purchasing power. So what type of environmental data are you talking about? Like is this temperature, is this humidity, or is this, So it's less climate data. So we have another partner that we're working with, and we'll be announcing that next week as well, where we're actually bringing to market climate data.So old temperature, uh, hyperbaric pressure. Wow. , we're bringing. Historical weather data, you know, floods, warnings, , et cetera. So when you start bringing this data to the Oracles, yeah, that means people can build markets on top of this data that then they can make synthetic like purchases or decisions or bets effectively.Exactly. Okay. Exactly. And so if you look at the derivatives market worldwide, it's a quadr dollar size industry. You look at the commodities industry, it's another trillion couple of trillion dollars. I mean, we can't even fathom those numbers because there's so many zeros . , but I mean, I think, , realistically, it's, it's just, , yeah, it, everybody's gonna be building off the back of this, and we want to allow that creativity to flourish.To flourish. And I think that's one of the important things is you need to have the right data set to understand how you're being impacted by these decisions that are so far out, that are so, , abstract for most people. Like what is. What does a quarter basis point rate increase look like? What does a one basis point rate mean to you?Yeah. You have no way to correlate that to your day to day life. So you guys are helping bridge the gap. Exactly. And we're not already doing that, so we're also allowing, we're building a personal calculator. Okay. So what is per, what is inflation to you? Because your spending might be different to my spending.Yeah. Might be different to, , anybody else's spending. Right. Mail spending or whatever. Right. And so as a result, How do we deal with that? Right? Yeah. And, and, and how do we calculate inflation? To me, because I'm driving a lot. You know, Oh man, I, I have a high cost of transportation. So the inflation to me is 12%, right?Mm-hmm. , But somebody in the UK that's staying at home, working from home has to use air con during the day because it's so hot. Heating in the winter at night, they're suffering 88% inflation on utility costs. Yep. So for them, inflation's gonna be slightly. How do you aggregate that number? Do I save, do I put that into my own spreadsheet?I can upload a CSV file. Do I use Mint to be able to track all my expenditure and my budget? I can import from Mint, Can I have it on MasterCard? I see all my MasterCard expenditure and it import that and it then calculates my personal inflation. So, and that's also gonna be for free. So anybody can, That's an amazing tool.Yeah. Cause that's one of the things I think is in part with inflation is how does it affect me versus how does it affect you? As you mentioned, electricity in UK is going crazy. So that is, that's such a cool tool. Yeah. So what are the numbers you guys are seeing at Reflation versus the numbers that are being reported or the numbers that have been reported?Is it a small difference? Is it magnitudes of a difference? Um, or is it pretty similar? No, I mean, we had a magnitude, a much bigger difference earlier on. Um, and it seems to be plateauing at sort of a level of eight to 9%. Okay. Um, we are reporting 9% on reflation for the. And the government's reporting 8.2%.Mm-hmm. . And so there is a bit of a discrepancy about by 1%, but it was greater. Earlier on, we were in double digit. We had recorded double digit, uh, inflations at the peak. Wow, up to 13%. We were just shy of 13% inflation. And so when you're calculating the number, and also the government is like a six months of like lagging data, is there like a, is there a string to it or is it just today the present moment?Like how does that work? Yeah, so we, we do it on a daily basis. We can't get it right now to have it real time. Yeah, we want to get it to real time, but in order to do real time, we need to have more predictive, uh, capabilities in terms of taking into account future pricing. Of specific commodities. Uh, and, and that will then ultimately also then have an impact on today's prices that we experience.Yeah. Um, but we do it on a daily basis. In contrast, the government is about 30 days, um, late. So we're 30 times faster than the existing reporting mechanism. And do you guys only doing US dollar inflation domination, or is there. Currency nominating inflation. Yeah. So people have asked us, so we listened to the community and what they ask us, so they asked us to then go to the uk.So we launched inflation calculator for the uk. Okay. Um, and we leverage the same architecture that we have. And so that was very easy. We're now getting asked to have it in different denominations. So we, at the past or so far to date, Only do US dollar denomination. Mm-hmm. . And we're looking to sort of see what other we've been actually been asked, Can you put it in BTC and E terms?Right. Ooh. Okay. So I can then see how it ranks against that. And so we want to then have a widget that we can then add and you can have compare versus Bitcoin versus E, and then you can then actually US dollar and see what inflation looks like. I think this idea that, you know, we changed the base denominator currency is completely new over the next, the past 20 years.Like, okay, you know, first year the four x currencies dollars, ster. Euro, but now it's like, Oh wait, you can have any asset underneath there really, or any type of currency in Bitcoin, Ethereum. So that, that's, that's huge for the, for the future. Um, let's see. So we mentioned, you talked about personalizing inflation data.Yeah. What type of actions can someone take when they have that personalized information? , Let's, let's hear about that. Yeah. So how do I hedge myself, right? If I know I'm experiencing a 10% inflation, how do I hedge myself against that? What do I do? And those are questions. We're now trying to identify products associated with that.And that's what we do at Laguna Labs. We're building and we specialize in tools and protocols that enable inflation protection, inflation proof, economic opportunities, right? Yeah. And so what do they look like now that we know what inflation is or true inflation, then how do we now build these products?One of the products that we fir...
