Spent an epic week at Frontier Tower participating in ETH SF and
@protocollabs + Funding the Commons’ weekend festival “Intelligence at the Frontier”.
So much happened in parallel across 15 floors – a product design thinking workshop hosted by
@ethereumfndn + IDEO Labs, two hackathons, a funding allocation experiment involving all the floor leads, live arts and music performances, and dozens of talks and panels discussing how humans can leverage AI agents as financial actors, the data, harnesses, and crypto-native primitives needed to build and coordinate them, and the state of mechanism design for common goods funding and impact tracking.
On Saturday the tower was packed so full that waiting for elevators became wholly impractical. I personally recorded 37 flights of stairs climbed on Apple Health just hopping between events and discussions 😮💨
