If you read content online you’ve probably at least heard of publishing services like Medium and Substack. These are centralized, web2 companies that make money with views; subscriptions, ads, etc. Thankfully, as we transition into the web3 space we are already seeing some promising alternatives. The largest of these web3 publishers is Mirror. The beauty of protocols like Mirror is that they don’t own any of the data. They still have a login, a clean text editor, and shareable links just like...

We’ve talked previously about Ethereum Name Service and how to get started with your own ENS name (original post here). In that post we touched very briefly on the concept of text records and being able to tie information beyond a wallet address to your ENS name. By adding data points like email addresses, avatars, Twitter addresses, etc to an ENS name, we can effectively start crafting what we’ll call an “ENS Profile”. Because these profiles are stored on-chain, they’re publicly accessible y...

By all measures, Devcon VI was a huge success. Over 6000 participants from around the world met in Bogota, Colombia to build, network, and celebrate together in the official Ethereum conference. This is coming about a month after The Merge in which Ethereum switched from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS). That transition worked far better than any could have hoped and has lead to ETH even being deflationary at times 🔥https://ultrasound.money/So what’s next for Ethereum and its ecos...

This is an entry in our long running series, “Accessing Data 3.0”, where we talk about the “whats” and the “hows” of working with data in web3. Enjoy! There’s an often forgotten question in Data 3.0 - where do we actually put all our large data? That image of your favorite cat, videos from the last family trip, the unpublished book you’re working on - what is “home” for all that data? It’s easy to think “well if it’s web3, then it must be on-chain”, but that’s not always true, nor does it nee...

Mint to the Future: Breathing New Life into NFTs https://www.flowcapacitor.xyz/ In the ever-evolving world of Web3, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have taken center stage. But as with any gold rush, there's an inevitable oversaturation. Many NFTs now sit dormant in digital wallets, their value diminished or even non-existent.

Welcome!If you are reading this, congratulations on being a part of the next generation of innovation we like to call “Web 3.0” (or simply “web3”). You could be an artist looking to leverage the decentralized economy via an NFT launch, a builder working to further on-chain protocols with smart contracts, a business looking to leverage blockchain technologies to level up your internal logistics, or even just an innocent bystander looking to learn more about the next big thing - whatever the re...

So you’ve made it to this site and this particular blog post. Great! But do you know how you actually got here? (For those wanting to dive in, feel free to scroll past this to “The DIY Section” below) The internet today (web2) works, and more importantly gained adoption, in part thanks to the magical world of the Domain Name System (DNS for short). At the highest level, DNS effectively allows users of web2 to say “I want to visit longdogechallenge.com” and reliably be taken to the content (we...
