"WORKSHOP IN A BOX" is a special concept that I've been thinking about for years, combining my work across furniture, music, and technology. Tap in tomorrow at 1pm ET to come vote for me: lu.ma/ptusp9qx

A blockchain-based identity structure that has the ability to obscure any arbitrary action from public view should be the goal An account with “personas” or the ability to segment actions meant for different audiences (ie. public, “close friends”, the self)

What products come to mind when you think about zk for consumer use cases? Specifically focused on getting up to speed on what’s possible *today* (esp from a UX & cost perspective)

Credible neutrality is important for certain things, but I feel like we've applied it widespread throughout crypto and its directly fueled much of the annoyance around simple things like connecting a wallet. Very happy to see more experiments that add constraint and bias at the connection layer

Insane arbitrage opportunity over the next 18 months if you're fluent in building secure wallet products and have the DNA for banger consumer apps

For embedded wallets that claim to use MPC with some version of SGX, a TEE, or Shamir's Secret Sharing... what happens if the value secured by the vendor ever exceeds the cost to hack?

Speaking as an artist myself, I'm having a hard time navigating the tradeoffs of building a body of work on Zora vs Base Zora - Culturally aligned - Protocol rewards Base - Liquidity - Distribution potential The "superchain" idea resonates, but it's not actionable nor conceivable for artists who want to mint today

Is the primary criticism against the paymaster design in ERC-4337 that it's centralized and thus a single point of failure? afaik the standard expects a redundancy strategy by building a paymaster network at scale so I'm curious what other foundational criticisms might be out there

Why aren't there more teams in crypto that are experimenting with using Passkeys to sign transactions onchain? Seems like you could maintain interoperability and improve UX pretty meaningfully if the UI is simple + portable Have only seen Turnkey use them for their signature product. Anyone else?

I’d bet that most people on the internet would happily sell their data to companies for advertising if they were paid somehow A well-targeted ad is a great product for most people

"File over data" is the most concise language that I've come across recently to capture the current zeitgeist in software. It's the rallying cry for privacy, self-custody, and to fafo what happens post-saas

Surely we've moved past the point of building crypto products as if they're something separate from simply using the web
