We've been (quietly) cooking - quick 3 min demo of what we've built recently. We're focusing stability/bugs/etc for a bit, which means I have more bandwidth to bring more folks onto the beta - your feedback will help shape the product!

I haven't been around for the whole ride, but it's been interesting to learn from @abram + @w how the initial idea for Splits — sharing money onchain — was originally expressed in a very concrete, limited tool: the simple splitter contract ...which soon unfolded into a philosophically driven mission to enable productive collaboration (which is what finance is *for*), on the scale of the firm but also the scale of civilization https://splits.org/blog/unbreakable-agreements/

Project coins are capital formation at internet speed and scale. Okay, first: what is capital formation? It's when money becomes machinery for making more things happen. Various funding sources are combined into a single "pot of gold" dedicated to a particular purpose. Before capital formation, you have disparate financial resources sitting in different accounts, proverbially twiddling their little money thumbs. After capital formation, you have a Real Thing: a startup with runway, a factory with equipment, etc. For example, two founders might combine $50k personal savings, a $100k angel check, and a $25k customer pre-order. Before: hobbyists with a side project and day jobs. After: they can quit those jobs, hire another developer, and focus full-time on executing. Same people, same idea — but now they have the economic ammunition to make it real. That's capital formation. 1/2 👇

Why are project coins so interesting? They're kind of like seed funding. And kind of like crowdfunding. But also kind of like bootstrapping. But *also* kind of like public stocks... without being equity. Token holders "are the financial equivalent of social media followers." Because it's crypto, investing is open to anyone with an internet connection. Anywhere in the world. At any time from launch onward. Instant liquidity for all. Following up on our investigations of @betrmint and @tipn, the latest @splits report from @w @abram @matthew and myself is a deep dive into project coins — how they work, and what it means for the startups of the future. https://splits.org/blog/project-coins/

and maybe the @w-coded way to say it is: Ethereum is the internet-native, 21st century substrate for business

"The foundation upon which you build impacts not only what you build but who can access it." — @abram on why Ethereum is the necessary for Splits Teams doesn't seem like an cypherpunk / cryptoanarchist tool at first glance... but look a little deeper. It's more radical than you realize

"Customers don't care about solutions, they care about problems. Rather than picking between the next dozen 'obvious' features to ship, we try to figure out which of our customers' problems are most immediate and painful." @abram and @w on earning the right to keep building https://splits.org/blog/earning-the-right/

Deciding what to do next is *the* hard problem for builders. Every decision creates the foundation for the next one. If you start tackling tomorrow's problem today, you don't have the information to solve it properly. Solution: "earn the right" to build the next feature, with ✨ commitment engineering 🛠️ You'd be surprised how many feature requests disappear when you ask users to commit their own time and resources! The ideas that remain are actually worth the effort. https://splits.org/blog/earning-the-right/
