Builder AMA with @seb the cofounder of Zapper in 10 min, get your questions ready!

gm! AMA about Zapper, building onchain for the past 5 years, founder life, or anything else!

1. What's the biggest difference in how you approach building onchain in 2020 vs 2025?  How does that inform where Zapper is heading?  Obviously, the tooling has gotten much much better but more interested in non-obvious differences

2. What do you have strong conviction in across crypto?

3. If you weren't building Zapper, what do you think you'd be doing?

Great responses!  Thanks for sharing and very much agree on #2 

I've always felt that onchain networks are very similar to social networks and we're finally building better ways to message each other on them in addition to transacting on them

Update:  Very close to launching this.  We've been testing out the contract functions and frame mint.  Few tweaks the we go higher

Btw I got a pretty fun onchain art project that's launching very soon that I think you'll enjoy

1) I'd say 2020 and 2025 will have more in common than 2021-2024 in how we're approaching building onchain. Basically want to take more risks, it's tempting to prematurely see areas of the market consolidate and make "safer" bets, but in crypto specifically, the foundation is quicksand and need to be hyper agile and keep trying new things. The most important thing for us to achieve is understanding our market and its problems intimately

2) Social, have always had the belief that ethereum is just one big social network that connects people across what we value, and so building a social layer on top of it helps accelerate genuine connection, formation of new startups, achieve global distribution, etc..

3) Problem making onchain art, a clanker but for deploying NFT collections, or some sort minting protocol
