We built a 15k sq ft Founder Lab at Fort Mason in SF where 100s of emerging tech founders are creating the future.

If you're building in AI, VR, Blockchain, Robotics or Drones and you're at the start of your journey we have space for you!

DM me with what you're building and why you'd be a great fit for our community.

I love how easy we've made Account Abstraction at thirdweb, just add a line of code and every connected wallet is a smart account!

By far the easiest to use SDK to enable gas sponsorship and other smart account features.

s/o @joaquim @gregfromstl
5M+ sponsored transactions this week from 400k+ unique smart accounts. thirdweb Account Abstraction is on fire!

Devs: Offer frictionless onboarding now, stop stitching together complex user flows.

Better onchain UX is here, AA simplifies using blockchains for the entire internet user base.
It's cool to see apps taking advantage of Account Abstraction, last week we had over 2M sponsored transactions through the thirdweb AA stack!

For everyone building in crypto: talk less, do more!

*now* is the moment when the next unicorns are being built.

What's everyone building tonight?

I'm on a 6hr flight, will be working on an AI agent for a few frustrating personal workflows!

I got into blockchains for permission-less, decentralized tech. No platforms controlling what we build.

So when someone tries to dictate how we do things, what we can say or 'vibes', I ignore the fuck out of them.

At thirdweb, we build without permission. Our software empowers devs to create apps and games however they want.

Our philosophy is to build open source, self-hostable and fully customizable software. You own your platform without any lock-in.

If you're building in web3: define your own terms and build things your way. Don't let someone else gatekeep your creativity.

Midnight hits and it’s finally time to write some code!

Will be in NYC next week, would love to meet up with any builders or founders.

DM me if you're around, bonus if you're building onchain!

It's really cool to see how easy it is now to build web apps with blockchains as public API servers.

Here's a simple onchain game @joenrv built without a backend server: https://catattack.thirdweb.com

Its just a web app and a blockchain. Signing in with social and having gas paid for you makes the experience like any other web app.

The combination of this UX and cheaper blockchain transactions is making it possible for every internet app or game to start adding onchain features.

We're already seeing a huge increase in the number of apps at thirdweb and the rest of this year will likely multiply it.

If you're building something onchain, i'd love to chat!
What's the best new ui framework I should be using for web apps? I used to like chakra-ui and tailwind never really clicked for me.
Reminder thirdweb gives up to $2.5k in free gas for devs building on the superchain!
What are your favorite open source blockchain projects? Shill some repo's, want to check out some new tools!
thirdweb team is in SF this week for a product / engineering onsite.

As a digital first company its been instrumental to find these moments to unlock our team. We're using this week to hack on our platform and bond as a unit.

The team I'm on will be building "onchain" Supabase and a web3 AI agent framework.

Will share links to try in the next few days!

“Build what you want” << love this
Onchain apps won't hit mainstream until mobile is the default platform, if you're interested in helping make this happen DM Joaquim!

He's looking for talented mobile devs to help build tools that make it easier to build mobile onchain experiences.
Unfortunately didn’t make it to farcon, what was the best part?
I'm in NYC this week, would love to meet up with founders building in web3, AI, VR or any other emerging tech.

Will be around manhattan and brooklyn. Feel free to DM if you want to connect!
A simple framework for building startups: Build cool shit and tell people about it!

Nothing else really matters.
Our mission at thirdweb is to enable any onchain capability on EVERY evm chain.

The beauty of this is we don’t have to force devs down 1 path. There’s so much to build and no singular way to do it.

This allows us to focus on what’s actually best for devs and not just what’s cool this month.

The best thing about building onchain is no dev ops!
What’s everyone building tonight?

After a few weeks off finally getting back to some dev time, hoping to finish a web3 AI project I started some time back!
I recently gave a lecture at Buildspace for the students in SF2.

Got a lot of positive feedback, so sharing here in case its useful for anyone else.

If you find this talk interesting, let me know!

Not surprised about the xz situation but it’s still insane to see it play out. Wild it was caught because of micro benchmarking.

Makes you wonder how much is out there and not caught.
Who are the best non-crypto follows on fc?
