Sharing a recent article I wrote on some of my thoughts around the current and future state of onchain agents

Have never been more pumped for a new book than this behemoth of a book
Variant's hosting a small dinner next week in NYC for top builders and researchers exploring the world of onchain agents. Interested in attending? Reply below or DM me for more details 👀
Frontrunning this before everyone's spotify wrapped posts tomorrow. Someone needs to create a Farcaster wrapped.

Your complete year in crypto and Farcaster highlighting every moment. From every trade to NFT mint to DEX trade. Every like, who you interacted with the most of Farcaster, favorite channels, etc.
Think this is more relevant today with everything happening with Agents as to why decentralized social is a killer combo for new AI applications and experimentation

@dbarabander and I very excited about onchain Agents.

We are very very excited about what Agents built on Farcaster can enable.

More to come and reach out if you are building in this space
Had an awesome night @variant's Crypto x AI demo night. Check out what some of the builders are up to below.

Zora has distributed over 10k ETH via protocol rewards

Creators win, Minters win, and Referrers win through participating on Zora
What are you most excited about in crypto right now?

Encourage anyone to chime in.
Is there a way to create an NFT open edition using python? Not very familiar with typescript and would like to hook into Zora or something similar to quickly upload and create an NFT project
Excited to participate in this AMA. Come ask me any questions you have!
Really want to see more projects experimenting with AI agents on Farcaster
Minted my first Dune Dashboard NFT!

One of the biggest shifts in NFTs is that Ethereum mainnet is down to creating to only 0.5% of all new collections in August

Layer 2s are now in control with Base leading the way with ~67% of new collections and Zora in second with 29.4%
What are some under the radar trends happening in NFTs? A few that I can think of:

- More NFT trading volume is happening outside of Ethereum
-NFTs are getting more liquid (Zora, ERC404s,etc.)
-New utilities (Blackbird NFTs, Helium Mobile Subscriber, etc.)

What else?

Prediction: Decentralized Social Applications will grow due to Decentralized AI
What are the most novel and interesting new things happening in the NFT space?
In times of chaos, DEXs thrive

Yesterday was the 3rd highest day for DEX volume with over $20.2B in trading volume.

The only other days to surpass this were the SVB Bank Run ($23.1B) and the 2021 May Flash Crash ($22.8B)
Onchain data is cool, but I also like to compare web traffic as another way to measure usage. In June, the top crypto apps were:

1) Dexscreener - 26.9M
2) Pump Fun - 8.46M
3) Uniswap - 4.5M
4) Jupiter - 4.6M
5) Polymarket - 1.4M

Yet the top site was Coinmarket Cap with 88.8M
Curious to hear what people’s favorite thing to do onchain is

Signifcant L2 Adoption Milestone:

During the week of 7/8/24, L2s accounted for 50.4% of total DEX volumes, surpassing Ethereum in volume for the first time.

The rise of Base has been a major driver becoming the largest chain by DEX Txs with ~57% of the total ETH/L2 market share
Really cool frame! Would be awesome to be able to mint NFTs based on your onchain behaviors similar to Spotify Wrapped.
Ever wonder what the most expensive fee on Ethereum was?

This simple transfer of .55 ETH (~$136 at the time) had a whopping 10,668 ETH transaction fee attached to it, costing $2.6M.

If they did not send this transfer, the owner would now be holding over $41M 😵‍💫
What are the best frames/projects on Farcaster centered around using AI?
/AI
A great feature to add to Dune would be to automatically assign hex colors based on the chain/project. Wold save me hours 🙏 🙏
Today I learned that after close to four years people are still claiming the Uniswap Airdrop.

In 2024, 251 addresses have still claimed over 100k of UNI this year (~$929k)
