## Description

Talk about alignment of interests between users of a protocol and how it's now technically possible (with EIPs and tokenomics). Would be wonderfull with Abdelhamid Bakhta from Starkware. The video features Alita Kalbatai, who has 11 years of experience in cryptocurrency and has been involved in non-profit activities in France and business for several years. She discusses the concept of alignment in cryptocurrency, emphasizing its importance for the sustainability and robustness of systems. Alita argues that aligning individual interests with collective goals is crucial and explores this idea through the lens of game theory and the concept of "conscious agents" who prioritize a common objective over self-interest. She suggests that by changing the agents rather than the game, more effective economic interactions can be designed within cryptocurrency systems to achieve strong equilibrium between self-interest and communal benefit.
