  <description>&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Amir Taaki, founder of DarkFi, an anonymous DeFi network bridged to Ethereum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DarkFi is an anonymous DeFi network. Its objective is to offer flexible private primitives that can be wielded to create any kind of application. DarkFi uses advances in zero-knowledge cryptography and creates a contracting language and developer toolkits aimed to make anonymous engineering highly accessible to developers. Anonymity as a design space has been hitherto unexplored. DarkFi is blowing the door to this wide open. In the open air of a fully dark, anonymous system, cryptocurrency has the potential to birth new technological concepts. This can be a creative, regenerative space – the dawn of a Dark Renaissance. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;We spoke to &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Narodism" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Amir Taaki&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;a href="https://dark.fi/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;DarkFi&lt;/a&gt; and:&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is DarkFi&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cyberpunks &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Digital dictatorship&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Passion &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RegFi and DarkFi&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gambling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The modern political system&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Social credit score &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
