**Basics of RAIR**

3 years

building RAIR from scratch since 2020. Full blown NFT marketplace, minting engine, royalties, engine, patent pending DRM engine.

2.3m raised

dedicated entirely to product/dev with minimal burn outside making the best possible product.

Thinking about

ways to leverage this technology as the yang to the AI yin. Creating authenticity on-chain so we don’t lose touch with base reality.

Moving thoughts on-chain (off Substack, Medium) Why dogfood web2 when you can dogfood web3

Explaining RAIR in increasingly eloquent ways

Reimagining a book I wrote on blockchain in 2017 for 2023 and beyond

**Addendum: Web3 Jank**

Still early days in this primordial web3 soup but happy to dogfood Mirror.

IDK why our GIFs pinned to IPFS always time out - Alchemy? Pinata gateway timeout??
