Morpho had a non-transferable token onchain for 2+ years. Not points, the actual token. More teams should do this. Self-selects for users who care about ownership and are more long-term.
Media sites blocking LLMs from summarizing full articles

What’s the best hack for this currently?
Variant had its annual investor meeting on Tuesday. This is the gist of what I told LPs about the last few years and where I hope we're going:

Phantom is #5 in the App Store
Rare: engineer, former founder, lawyer, investor

Ask a team in our portfolio and I guarantee they’ll share my experience that working with Dan is energy inducing.

Will AI model tokens be one of the dominant, native token types on public blockchains in 5 years?

I think token launchers for agents are super cool; curious if anyone is working on one that’s opinionated about the initial relationship between the token and the agent?
Startups monetize by selling shares of themselves. Why wouldn't agents do the same?

Proliferation of generative (AI) media tools is the best ‘why now’ for putting media onchain. Not just for verification, but so value can flow directly to those who create the inputs that get remixed.

For this to take off, a distribution is wedge is everything, and a wedge is much stronger with a closed monetization loop.

Would love to hear ideas on how to wedge the habit of making onchain the port of entry habit/default for creators and their tools.

The next ten years of smart contract blockchains
incredibly fun/proud to see friends realize their vision on one of the biggest stages in the world. last night Charli xcx x Troye Sivan sold out MSG; each artist is creative directed by a different old friend and while they loosely knew each other prior, it was the artists’ friendship that brought them together to collaborate on one of the biggest pop productions of the year. great example of how relationships can have a long arc + most overnight successes are anything but.

Its time to run back DAOs, but with the "A" being AGI :p

I want to meet more projects with AI at the center, humans at the edges (e.g. @botto)
