The biggest problem in coins today is the burden of growth. Devs and artists on @clanker, creators on @zora, and others are trying to solve a single problem: how do I grow my coin/token? Hot take: maybe it should be up to the app/protocol, not the creator. Let's unpack.

First, it flies in the face of everything I believe. I believe in hard work. I believe that ideas are useless and execution is everything. No free lunch. But that's in a pre-AGI, capitalist society. The most fundamental question to me: what does post-AI work look like?

We're already seeing glimpses of this. The primordial ooze for protocols taking on the burden. @jessepollak's passion for helping folks grow on Base. @zora’s algorithm putting creator coins in front of others. @proxystudio.eth helping builders like me gain & retain attention.

Part of the opportunity is a value prop of the chain itself. In the offchain world, the burden of growth is on founders, on monetary policy, on markets, etc. But onchain, particularly when combined with agentic actors, allows for some amount of *automation* of value accrual.
