Revisiting "What I'm excited for this build cycle" Two years ago today, I wrote a post on what I was excited for during the newly begun crypto winter (post-Terra, pre-FTX, most people were in denial). I wanted to revisit the list to see if / what progress had been made. 1. The Merge is successful and energy use meme goes away. It happened. It was and the only people who are complaining are intellectually dishonest members of Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto army. 2. One of the Ethereum L2s breaks away from the pack, de-risking tech choice for builders. It happened. @base was the clear break out but I would say there's progress in the @optimism @arbitrum and Polygon ecosystems. 3. More practical implementations of zero-knowledge proofs (e.g. Dark Forest) enabling consumer use cases, e.g. trustless anonymous polls or token-enabled experiences. Not yet. There have been a few interesting experiments from Personae and Opacity, but nothing break out. 1/ https://danromero.org/excited-for-this-build-cycle.html

4. A 0-to-1 new game that’s fun first and uses a novel, on-chain mechanic second. (Again, similar to Dark Forest, but with a more consumer-friendly experience.) I’m bearish on existing games adding crypto. Nothing yet. Definitely a lot of building happening right now. @amitt @russia @skyoneer are all building here. I did a podcast on this a few months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_APKKbq1Tg 5. A vertically-integrated DAO mobile wallet (think the Nouns app) with UI-tailored for governance, social, messaging, custody, etc. Not yet. But /nouns is funding multiple Farcaster clients and @party is an interesting primitive and app for people to experiment here. 6. A winning ERC for soulbound NFTs, de-risking tech choice for builders and increasing composability. Not yet. EAS is the closest thing to this, but hasn't really broken out. Coinbase is running an interesting experiment with it. coinbase.com/onchain-verify 2/

7. Emergence of a credible, centralized startup that issues and maintains on-chain and off-chain credentials that dramatically pulls forward adoption by a few years. Not yet. Clear opportunity if you can get a flywheel going. Centralized oracles that compound a trusted brand will work well enough for most developers. Some progress with Gitcoin Passport, EAS, Coinbase's Onchain Verify and @icebreaker. 8. Sufficiently decentralized social networks like Farcaster If you're reading this far, well... :) Still a lot of work to do, but we've made some progress. 3/

We have a few mechanics now in PN that are onchain native: Our shipwright building lets players own a business that gives them a portion of all fees from others using their shipwright to upgrade their ships. Because the game is a protocol, players even built their own “yellow pages” style app to find shipwrights that aren’t being utilized. https://www.piratenation.info/shipwright_dashboard

4. You should look at the Redstone ecosystem and especially games like Primodium

Define winning. We've been using our Non-Transferrable ERC-6454 on our NFT marketplace for over a year now. https://evm.rmrk.app/soulbound

4 sounds like what we are building at Project Mirage:) https://x.com/mirage_game_/status/1800597324097617998?s=46&t=L-KwJNJNFYLnU8jTk1NFhA
