Meta Pool's Co-Founder will participate in the prestigious event in Buenos Aires, consolidating the protocol's position as a thought leader in public goods financing and real financial infrastructure

Meta Pool DAO, a key player in DeFi and liquid staking infrastructure, is proud to announce that its co-founder, Claudio Cossio, will be speaking at the 14th global edition of Funding the Commons (FTC). The event will be held in Buenos Aires on November 19.

Cossio will share the stage with some of the industry's brightest minds, including Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum Foundation) and Juan Benet (Protocol Labs). This invitation positions Meta Pool at the center of the global debate on sustainability and the future of decentralized finance.

A Global Agenda in Buenos Aires

Funding the Commons is recognized as the leading forum for builders, researchers, and philanthropists dedicated to creating sustainable funding models for public goods in the Web3 space. The Buenos Aires edition is inspired by the ingenuity of open source and grassroots crypto adoption in Argentina.

The conference will focus on the concept of "RealFi": financial infrastructure designed for real-world coordination, access, and financing of public goods. Meta Pool's participation in this dialogue is critical, given its focus on creating sustainable value for its community.

RealFi and Ecosystem Sustainability

Claudio Cossio's presence at FTC Buenos Aires 2025 underscores Meta Pool's relevance in the conversation about how DeFi tools can and should be used to generate tangible, positive impact. Liquid staking, Meta Pool's specialty, is itself a form of digital public good that provides liquidity and security to the network.

The conference will highlight tools designed for usability, interoperability, and long-term impact—principles that are at the heart of Meta Pool's philosophy.

Meta Pool's Vision for a Sustainable Future

As co-founder of a DAO-governed project, Cossio's perspective on resource coordination and community governance will be invaluable. His participation is expected to shed light on how protocols can design mechanisms that incentivize the funding of public goods, ensuring the long-term health of the open-source ecosystem.
