Evolving Influencers
It’s clear that influencers have come a long way from their traditional roots. Gone are the days when only a few voices dominated the conversation. Now, online, each emerging ecosystem entirely shifts the way we connect. The evolution of influence is not just about who is speaking, but about how their community is amplified by the ever-changing tools at their disposal. Over the coming weeks, we hope to explore the ways in which new infrastructure and products, enabled by web3, are transformin...
Everything Connects
Novel standards and new combinations of tokens always seem to energize digital assets. ERC-721s achieved mainstream attention shortly after the 2017 release and trickled into the NFT mania of 2021, ERC-1155s enabled a more semi-fungible experience and encouraged “casual” minting with open editions..etc. Just a few months ago, we explored 404s as they revealed a blend of ERC-20 and ERC-721 features. As it becomes clear that both NFTs and memecoins are the in-game currencies of the internet, ex...

Things are changing fast in crypto. Much like the early internet, it's an ecosystem where growth often defies expectation, potentially mirroring Moore's Law in its exponential trajectory. Consider the example of semiconductors and Moore’s Law: for decades, chips became twice as powerful for the same price every two years. Is it possible that there’s a similar natural rate of growth for digital assets? “Meme it to existence” has become the modern mantra. Cultural forces and technological advancements are in a powerful alliance, fueling this proliferation.

Imagine a scenario where the market size for these assets doesn't just grow every four years—it quintuples. This could be a tangible future, drawing ever closer as costs fall and accessibility rises. The cost of creating and distributing digital assets is on a steep decline. On the creation side, AI is a testament to this trend - slashing the traditional media creation fees (and time) to a fraction of their former selves. Tying back to crypto, distributing digital assets is also much cheaper than it was in past cycles.
This trend is sweeping across all forms of media as they merge with new technologies and begin the path to tokenization. With alternative blockchains and L2s reaching a critical mass, reducing costs and streamlining interactions, it would seem we're at the cusp of a digital asset boom. This could very well rival the fervor of the mobile revolution. As we lay the groundwork for this burgeoning ecosystem, anticipation builds.
What happens when we actually move beyond the infrastructure phase? When every link on the internet becomes a token, the lines between digital and non-digital assets may blur into obsolescence. Is it possible to just embrace this optimism and trust in Moore's Law - as the tokenization of everything reshapes our understanding of value in the digital age? In a world full of endless tokens, is nothing or everything valuable?
The implications are vast and varied. For creators, this means an unprecedented democratization of content creation and distribution. For consumers, it brings in an era of unparalleled access to a global marketplace of digital goods. And for investors, it signals a shift towards an economy where digital assets hold as much weight—if not more—than their physical counterparts.
The future is bright for digital assets; the tokens we’re familiar with are just the start. With each passing day, they weave more deeply into our daily lives. The potential for growth is staggering, and the opportunities for innovation are boundless. As we stand on the brink of this new era, one thing is clear: the tokenization of everything becomes more and more of a possibility.
