I met a D2C and an AI founder yesterday in Bangalore. Both run VC backed fast growing companies. Both are streamlining workflows to bring efficiency in their businesses by using AI. - They didn't care about what's possible onchain - They thought web2 and web3 should be seperate places. Very 'keep your cult away' vibe. I think we need to collectively fix this impression and actively educate founders and builders in our circlers with what's possible onchain. Onchain does 2 things phenomenally well: 1. It unlocks global access to capital instantly without brokers. Just basic capital coordination is global, cheaper, faster, and efficient. 2. Anyone can build on top of an existing data or logic stack. Allowing for vertical specialization. It may be non-obvious right now but both these aspects are powerful individually and are a superpower when combined. If the payment company giant they both use sees a billion dollar value in an onchain company, maybe there's some merit to the onchain economy afterall.

If chatGPT has taught us anything it’s that it takes one breakout application to fundamentally alter an industry and eventually the world. The onchain economy is looking for that breakout application. Polymarket is now mainstream and that’s led to a whole chunk of prediction market companies. Stablecoins make obvious sense especially in high inflation economies and that’s led to more and more countries launching stablecoins. But that’s just the beginning. If you’re a founder or builder looking to build in the onchain economy I urge you to think about consumer usecases. The infrastructure is ready, what will you build?

@proxystudio.eth literally coined the term a social dex on Base. So thrilled to see it! The future of trading and investing is social.

To push this space forward we need to create more meaningful onchain consumer experiences. If you’re a builder, I’ve put down some thoughts on how to think about problem statements and solutions. https://paragraph.xyz/@saxenasaheb/building-meaningful-onchain-experiences

Think it’ll be cool to highlight a global based builder across the globe as part of onchain daily. Have people mint builder cards of sorts. Wdyt? @toadyhawk.eth @macedo @jessepollak

The first value that the Base team wrote was- ‘Base is for everyone’ That value has helped people connect with Base across continents. We’ve built culture. We’ve built community. Now it’s time to build consumer products that solve problems in our local communities.

@base came in and reimagined how builders felt supported onchain. - @seneca and base build rounds. - @macedo @juampi and $Build. - @yele.eth, @sir-damilare @kokocodes with Base Africa. @kabir and their grants team used creativity (universal builder income) and won. From Mr beast’s playbook:
