A few hours ago wallets tied to crypto influencer JRNY saw ~$4M worth of crypto assets suspiciously transferred out and sold indicating a potential private key compromise. Theft address 0xc467150582cfc8eec4132a483c76101d3636f598 0x6fd6c8fd64c7efdb8eec902161d3bbc035430456 0xa2dd5e2ab84240cbecc7beaca9946afef97ae74a

Today we’re announcing that @a16zcrypto is leading an $80M Series B financing of PIP Labs, developer of @storyprotocol. Story is a blockchain protocol that allows creators to register their IP so they can track and monitor use, protecting their legal and economic rights. The goal is to create foundational infra that can underpin a new economic covenant between creators and platforms. The team behind Story has deep tech and creative expertise. CEO/cofounder @s-y-lee has impressed us with big-picture vision and world-class tactical execution. Cofounder @jasonzhao studied CS at Stanford, dove deeper into AI at DeepMind, and now leads technical development on Story. For AI systems and creative people to happily co-exist, creators need a modern way to ensure they get compensated for their work. Story takes a proven approach — IP law — and updates it for the age of AI. We are excited to support the Story team on this important mission. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-story

Farcaster has less price chatter because the user base is a higher % builder / creator than CT. It’s a high agency mindset.

Why are Farcaster builders so optimistic when X, Y, and Z bad things exist? My brother, bad is the default. It’s entropy. Failure is the most likely outcome when building something new. If you’re not a definite optimist, you’ve got no chance in making it happen. Even if you’re a rational person, you have to be willing to suspend belief just enough to make the bet despite all the bad. And then it’s just week of week progress and try not to die (mostly figuratively). For years.

A lot of chatter recently about Farcaster, marketing and expanding beyond crypto I have yet to see a crisp definition of: 1. What problem does Farcaster solve for people outside of crypto today? 2. What evidence exists that existing at-scale free social networks and paid creator tools / platforms are insufficient in serving these people? 3. Assuming this population exists, what channel (i.e. tactics) do you market Farcaster to said people? I'm not asking for free work, fwiw. It's our job to figure to this out (we don't have an answer for this question ourselves). But hiring a "marketing team" when you don't have an answer to this question is not going to solve the problem. Marketing works great when you have a clear value prop and target market and channel.

Frames now support Polygon PoS transactions. @polymarket is a great example of this. @0xpolygon is also offerring nearly $250K worth of grants for developers who build Polygon frames.

"Warpcast should do X." I agree with you. "Great, then why haven't you done it?" Because there's everything else to do as well.

My hot take re "too much investment in infra": there's too much investment in *some kinds of infra* and not enough in others, and what's actually going on is, people want to invest in "the casino" but still feel good about themselves, so they invest in the subset of infra that gets spillover profits from the casino.
