gm — today’s one of those days that reminds me why I started all this. I’ll be joining GM Farcaster with @nounishprof and @adrienne to talk about ZAO and the evolution of onchain music — not just as tech, but as a movement. The beauty of these conversations is that they’re not theoretical anymore. We’re seeing creators mint meaning, communities move like collectives, and platforms evolve into ecosystems. It’s wild and it’s happening in real time. I still remember when the idea of artists owning their data felt like a dream. Now it’s becoming culture — something we expect. The ZAO was built for moments like this: where art, code, and community converge in a way that forces the industry to rethink what’s possible. Every song, every remix, every drop — they’re all proof points in a larger story about independence, transparency, and ownership. If you’re building or just curious where music and Web3 actually meet, pull up. We’ll be live with one of the most engaged chats on YouTube — and yeah, you can catch it on Twitter or in the GMFC mini app too. But the energy in the YouTube chat? That’s where you’ll feel it.
