A few of the things we’re excited about in crypto (2025)

→ An AI needs a wallet of one's own to act agentically
→ Enter ‘decentralized autonomous chatbots’
→ As more people use AI, we’ll need unique proof of personhood
→ Going from prediction markets… to better information aggregation for everything
→ Enterprises will increasingly accept stablecoins for payments
→ Countries explore putting government bonds onchain
→ We’ll see greater adoption of the ‘DUNA’, a new industry standard for blockchain networks in the U.S.
→ Liquid democracy online goes physical
→ Builders will reuse, not just reinvent, infrastructure
→ Crypto companies will begin with the end (-user experience), instead of letting the infrastructure determine the UX
→ ‘Hiding the wires’ helps usher in web3’s killer app
→ The crypto industry finally gets its own appstores, and discovery
→ Crypto owners become crypto users

In 2025, the U.S. will become one of the best places to build in crypto and the DUNA provides a great tool for startups here. 

We've seen lots of companies working with the structure and are excited to see how they put it to use this coming year.

Happy to help any DUNAs looking to get tax exemption through fiscal sponsorship. My dc's are open!

To our knowledge @Endaoment is the only 501(c)3 doing this kind of work. See /advocacy for an example.

A New Jurisdiction: OtoCo goes live with its UNA/DUNA in Wyoming - fully onchain!

A legal test tube perfect for projects starting small but aiming to grow into a legally-recognized DAO!

Thanks to @a16zcrypto, @milesjennings, & David Kerr for spearheading this!

Let’s chat DC open!

We just went live with OtoCo’s UNA/DUNA engineered to be created fully onchain using just crypto wallets. It tracks the projects governance token to see if this can click to a DUNA
