Open source the dApp layer
Why dApps are closed source, and how opening them up will drive 10x web3 adoption15 years into this great blockchain experiment, and most enterprise builders in Web3 are still using Web2 business models. This makes total sense. Building software is hard. Finding VC to scale said software is harder. Especially when you need to show recurring revenue growth month-over-month. So what happens. We all sell access to our blackbox APIs and UIs. Pay $49/mo, $.0002 per compute, whatever the going take...

The Amazing Power of Account Abstraction
Welcome to 2024, the great Web2 to Web3 unlock is here. Billions of new users will pour into web3 using their existing social logins starting this year. Deep down we in the Web3 community know blockchain has the potential to solve the internet's toughests problems. Namely the need for provenance, interoperability, and true ownership. Yet until now, one critical flaw has prevented the masses from using this revolutionary new system. The friction to setup then remember Web3 passwords was s...

Harnessing the Power of Metadata
Let’s explore how harnessing the power of metadata can upgrade our relationship to truth by imbuing onchain assets with meaningful ancillary data. If harnessed correctly, non-fungible serial numbers + truthful metadata can shift the fundamental power balance of who keeps track of the world’s assets from corruptible ledgers to the blockchain.If NFTs are just: serial numbers pointing to something important on the blockchain..And Metadata is: the structure of what the serial number is being poin...

Framework for the Next NFT Unicorn
Let’s dive into the core components needed to reimagine NFT serial numbers away from monkey pictures, and towards representing all value on earth with real world assets.“Tokenization” of real world assets requires 3 thingsBlockchain: - a (protocol) to securely store and share information in an incorruptible trusted way with a path to scalabilityNFT: The ability to create and record discrete units aka (non-fungible) serial numbers onto a blockchain that represents something in the real worldIn...
