A Digital Incubation Space

“We wanted to provide a new way to incentivize readers or curators for sharing content, while rewarding them for doing so... Crypto is uniquely suited to solve this, because it allows easy and immediate transfer of value – no signup or setup needed."

One writer’s starter wish list for an ideal web3 publishing home for long-form writing and microblogging. Bonus: creative process nerdery and an intro to the Watcher at the Gate.

Introducing a collection of mints on the Zora chain to represent the early Farcaster Scenius Lexicon: 1) conversational liquidity providers; 2) before/after Farcaster; and 3) benevolent dictator.

What if more web3 projects took a page from Zora's playbook and developed positive-sum mechanisms that reward creative labor as wealth generation?

A "word collage" of bite-sized nuggets on creative labor and value flow. All snippets were rescued from in-progress but long-unfinished drafts before they landed on the scrap heap.

It’s Zorbsplaining time! What are Zorbs? Why are they magical? Can Zorbs serve as attractors for real positive-sum value? Join in for a deep dive into the Zora meme and the Way of the Zorb.
