NETWORK STATE NEWS I've thought about starting Network State News on Farcaster. We'd start with $1000 in prizes each day for content broadly related to startup societies and network states. For example, "generate a 60 second vertical video review of the top 10 startup societies", where the grand prize winner gets $500 and five runner ups get $100 each. But we'd also issue prizes for open source code, for book reviews, for politics and history, and for breaking news. It'd be social-native, because content would come fundamentally as public casts on an open social protocol rather than posts on a closed website. It'd be AI-native, because everyone would use AI tools like Claude, Midjourney, Runway, and Suno to compose every post. And of course it'd be crypto-native, because every post would be digitally signed, all payments would be in crypto, and everyone here would know how to cite blockchain evidence. Most of all, it'd be an experiment in decentralized global citizen journalism. Should we do it?

Interesting experiment to say the least. Another core area, if I may suggest, could be culture. We're an incredibly diverse community here in web3 and have an wonderful opportunity to lean into collective culture elements. From a journalistic perspective culture lends itself perfectly to current geopolitical environment. It being on-chain and preserved is the icing.
