Public Assembly was created to explore what happens when you take concepts like hyperstructures and headless brands literally. Spun out of ZORA (where I currently contribute towards engineering + devrel), PA has learned a lot very quickly by grounding our approach to organizational development in these theories. 143 days into the experiment (and with some hours to kill in Narita Airport), the time feels right to share some observations we’ve made so far.What’s Changed Since 2019"BRIDGE SZN II...

Exploring Onchain Curation
What Does Onchain Curation Mean?Onchain curation is an enormous topic that I think may end up underpinning how all information + content is distributed across the internet. Without getting too technical, here is a brief explanation of what it is and the types of ecosystems it can help flourish. Let’s start with a question: how do you decide what content is displayed on your website? Are you uploading specific files, pulling in data from a private content management system, or following an IPF...

Experiment Log 21-35 Recap
Start of Phase 2In my last Mirror post, I talked about having just started to learn React, with my eyes set on the web3con hackathon at the end of the week. Fast forward 21 days and I have since progressed from basic React, began/finished the hackathon working on ecodrips, learned a ton about solidity and the EVM, failed to fully deploy my team’s project, and took a week off to explore Chile. It’s been a little crazy to say the least. That being said, I am feeling ENERGIZED having taken a sho...
