@nickysap writes about the emerging symbiosis between AI and blockchain, particularly through the development of AI agents on decentralized social platforms like Farcaster, and how it could drive crypto adoption but requires careful prompt engineering and community guardrails to ensure responsible growth. "The real innovation isn’t going to come from simply slapping AI onto existing crypto projects – it will emerge from the unique possibilities of onchain-native ecosystems." https://paragraph.xyz/@48hrs/bot-swarm

"Quiet photography is more than an art form; it’s a way to connect with ourselves and the world." https://paragraph.xyz/@badgerdnft/storytelling
