>[**06:24** — Juan Guillén: Dai to xDai is not one-to-one, right?](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=379)







>[**13:54** — Question in chat: Even if gas is payed in Dai, which is stable, what prevents gas from increasing over time, so breaking the stable property of xDai?](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=834)
>[**16:56** — Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think xDai is like a sidechain which is PoS instead of PoW, so we have these validators and it's cheaper to process these transactions. And I find it really cool that my address on Ethereum is the same address on xDai](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=1016)



>[**24:46** — Tim Black: Did we cover how much STAKE is needed to become a validator?](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=1486)
>[**27:15** — Juan Guillén: Regarding the rewards, are the fees that are consumed distributed among validators?](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=1635)
>[**30:23** — Payton Rose: I was curious about the cost for using the bridge between the two](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=1823)
>[**35:20** — Question in chat: Will STAKERers eventually be able to get rewards from using the tokens [...] ERC20 locked in the bridge for some extra profit?](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=2120)





## Special Guest Patricio Worthalter


>[**58:43** — *Free discussion*](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=3523)
>[**01:06:40** — Juan Guillén: L2 chains do settlements every couple of weeks or so. If a mint a POAP in xDai, am I supposed to receive it after two weeks on Ethereum?](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=3999)

## Closing Comment

#### Outro

- Patricio, how can people learn more about [POAP](https://www.poap.xyz/) and find you and follow you et cetera? [(01:10:28)](https://youtu.be/C1dbId69vJo?t=4228) I actually wrote a tiny [tutorial on how to create a POAP](https://definotes.com/Create-a-POAP-for-your-Event-5af06cdfb7c24286ac3d31b0f0a47c40) for your event; it's on [definotes.com](https://definotes.com/) — and yeah: it's super straightforward. Let's keep the discussion in the forum. Looking forward to see how this evolves. Thank you for joining us.
