Over the past several months there’s been a growing debate around NFT property rights that has (once more) divided CT: CC0 or copyright? Questions over publication, distribution, and monetization rights for NFTs have existed since the very beginning of the space, but have heated up especially in the past year as blue-chip collections have exploded in value. At the center of the closed IP camp is Yuga Labs, the juggernaut behind BAYC and recent acquirer of CryptoPunks and Meebits from Larva La...

WTF can be built on Verse? Since unveiling Verse, I’ve received a ton of enthusiastic interest to build with the protocol. At the same time, I’ve also noticed a question repeatedly come up in conversation: “Verse is a cool idea, but what are some use cases?”.

Hopefully this will help to answer some qu...

A few weeks ago I introduced Verse, a protocol I’m working on to solve the problem of legitimacy-constrained social networks. At that time, I described Verse as a protocol for “multiplayer cryptomedia”. Some things have changed. While Verse is still focused on building an exponentially better model for multiplayer networks, it won’t be implemented through creating a new cryptomedia standard. But more on that backstory in a future post. While building Verse, one of the fundamental building blo...

Or, an introduction to Verse The internet is filled with games - and I'm not talking about ones that are streamed on Twitch. The best internet games are the ones that are hidden in plain sight. Framing the internet as a collection of games, or even as a giant infinite game in itself, isn't a new idea. Numerous people have discussed the implications of internet games and how winning strategies can produce outstanding real-life rewards. Social media stands out as perhaps the most anal...
