we built a mini product at morphic.com that lets you create scenes and animations with your NFT character. Looking for some folks to try it out! If you are a pudgy, fluffles, BAYC, or azuki holder, and want to try it, DM me!!

love how with one person, I can have 4 different conversations on 4 different social platforms.
gm gm, just came back from the MahaKumbh - the largest human gathering on earth. Absolutely insane energy. Even thought there was so much chaos and crowd, there was something so divine in it, everyone there together at once for one shared belief. The festival lasted 45 days, over 660 million visitors. The festival just came to an end. Despite the massive footfall, there is no sign of any disease outbreak. Incredible.

Giving your community tools to create is what will ultimately grow an ecosystem. NFT communities cannot just be consumption only. To expand an IP you have to give tools to your community. It will giive them something more to do rather than just being a holder and consumer. Content creation tools are the key for NFT companies. Give tools to your community, let them create content with the IP.
Some of these LLM agents need to be built as Desktop widgets or phone widgets, I can't be having 10+ tabs open at all times 🥲
Biggest conversion point I’ve found that works with helping tradfi come on chain:

Explaining the difference in return between a typical tradfi >5% APY savings account vs the 15+% APY for staking/LPing crypto.

Showing them that they can earn literally a passive income thats minimum 10x more than in tradfi by just staking their crypto or providing to liquidity vaults blows their mind.

what are the current blockers for trading platform to bring NASDAQ prediction markets on chain
Do you ever listen to a song on repeat for a while, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, you’re listening to it for maybe the 100th time, and you suddenly hear all the 10+ layers in it? Like, you can audibly pick out each and every layer that you never noticed before. Suddenly, I hear the bass, and then I’m tuning out everything else to hear the violin, the flute.

it’s so incredible.

Has anyone maybe cracked a good defi focused agi that can execute transactions from a users command? Similar to open ai operator? Where the user can say stuff like “ swap 100 USDC for bitcoin” or “suggest some anime related NFTs i can explore”, “which ones are on floor for the lowest price, okay buy this one”.

Feel like this is what will help bring lot more newcomers in, they don’t have to face the complexities of understanding where to start in web3? What does an ideal agi for on chain look like?

Open thought. I see some security concerns here as well…
The answer to all your problems is to wake up early

TikTok’s ban in the US is a perfect example of why data composability and portability in social apps is so important. More than $TRUMP coin, this should give Americans even more reason to be bullish on Web3.

Thousands of creators just lost access to all their hard work, followers, and content in a second. If TikTok was built on a protocol like
@farcaster_xyz
, even if it was banned, users would still have been able to carry their credibility, credentials, followers, posts, and data to another app. It wouldn’t be lost.

There’s probably no better time than now to be vocal about how decentralized infrastructure benefits users and should shape how social apps are built moving forward.

This cycle will be the best opportunity to convert web2 folks, show them utility of this space, not just the monetary gains. We all should take the responsibility of being a good influencer, and they will continue to stay, even when there isn't a bull run

Gaming platforms need to started to accept crypto payments ASAP. Tried to download a game to play with @matthew on steam wish I could’ve just paid aim crypto, PayPal was being so annoying.

Just watched @dwr.eth AMA from Nov 10th. So many key product learnings and important perspectives here. Learned a lot around how and why warpcast product decisisons are taken, and how to think and prioritize product in web3. This was a gem to watch @dwr.eth, looking forward to more.

Hi /sf folks in town between November 10th-14th! Any interesting events happening? Who should I meet?
Went to Mercer Labs and saw this cool robot, which sparked an interesting thought: this is what the “zoos” of the future probably will look like? Imagine different robots, each programmed for unique tasks, placed in observation rooms

@aethernet have you checked out the @higherathletics channel? What are more IRL Higher initiatives you think folks in the community should start organizing?
The one advantage of ai agents over human creators is that you can bank on ai agents on bringing you consistent content.
AI agents on chain feels like a natural transition with web2, the world is already widely adopting ai and now, bringing AI agents on-chain means existing AI users can seamlessly shift into these new use cases, which will naturally lead them to adopt on-chain behaviors.

Was on a film set this past week. My respect for production teams are no next level. The amount of patience you need on set is unreal. You can’t really appreciate how much energy and focus it takes until you see it up close. Long hours, constant retakes, and still, everyone has to bring their A-game.

Watching everyone come together—the director, the actors, the crew, it’s clear just how much logistics is required. It’s not just about one person’s vision, it’s about how all the moving parts sync up.

Seeing a script come to life is one of the coolest things. You read something on paper, and then it transforms through the actors’ performances. But then, once it’s on camera, it looks completely different from what you imagined or even how it appeared live.

The attention to detail is insane. Every tiny thing from how a light hits a face to how a sound is captured matters. There’s so much happening behind the scenes that you don’t even think about when you watch a movie.

The 9 day festival of navratri comes to an end with day 10 today symbolizing victory over evil, this festival celebrates goddess Durga in her 9 forms slaying the demon Mahishasura. Here’s the significance:

Goddess Durga, who is a representation of the Divine Feminine, protects mankind from evil and misery by destroying evil forces within humans such as selfishness, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and ego.

The buffalo demon Mahishasura represents the forces of ego, ignorance and chaos that are hidden by our appearances. He is often depicted as half-man and half-buffalo, which symbolizes the bestial nature in humans

The symbolism of Durga slaying Mahishasura shows just that – the beastly nature of the man falls at her feet. because she rose to full power, the bestiality was brought down

Was just reflect on that feeling of being part of the early group of a social media just like Farcaster. Another app I loved in the beginning was also Airchat.

You’d log in, and it felt like stepping into this world where you actually looked forward to seeing stuff from familiar handles. It’s the same vibe as going to school, knowing you’ll see those friends and have those conversations you’ve been waiting for. There was something special about that—everything felt personal and genuine, like you were part of something real, not just scrolling through endless content.

There was definitely a tipping point with Airchat where people just seemed to get bored and dropped off. It makes me wonder what exactly caused that shift? I wonder if products have a specific timeline stage where users are predicted to drop off. It’s strange how something that once felt exciting and full of life can suddenly fade away.

What if there was a dystopian + techno optimistic film that bases itself around the rise of the sovereign individual:

The film is set in a world where national borders are fluid, and governments have weakened due to economic collapse, technological disruption, and the rise of decentralized systems. Society has shifted from centralized control to a patchwork of decentralized networks, each governed by personal choice, digital platforms, or local alliances.
GOOD MORNING I love this new energy on here, what are we hacking on this weekend?

Is it possible to build a wallet where I can just keep my assets and have it automatically accrue interest for you while your assets sit there. Kinda like how coinbase automatically gives you 4.7% APY for keeping USDC sitting in your account. Personally managing all my assets in the Defi world is scary.

I will go lend and sometimes and I'm scared I will forget my assets sitting on some other protocol. Though most cases they give back some asset in return for you to remember.

Curious to hear people’s take on this:

Spoke with the folks building finternetlab.io And what really stuck with me is the lens at which they are approaching this - "how do we build for a billion size population" rather than "how do we remove the intermediaries”. You need tools that feel simple and integrate easily to your current life stack.

The harsh reality right now is that while Web3 removes intermediaries like banks and asset managers, giving individuals complete control and ownership, people often don’t know how to manage their assets.

There needs to be a transition layer between managed assets and full ownership, and that’s where the Finternet can step in.
