Imagine, these types of tokens in a galaxy not far away: - onchain content is a growing asset class, with the zero-sum memecoin lottery we have today being only a fraction of this total growing market cap - a new asset class ill call "onchain securities" are bringin silicon valley startups onchain thanks to a lighter compliance framework (open source code, open source cash flows, open governance processes, tokenholder recourse, and accompanying lightweight disclosure requirements) - this asset class enables founders to make true economic ownership a keystone of user experience in products pepople use every day - sufficiently decentralized protocols enter their prime as clear definition enables more efficient governance -- the best version of this will "DAOs 2.0," or organizations that minimize governance overhead via automation (AI) and with active founders/contributors/humans at the edges who contribute the value that can't be automated.

thank you to @horsefacts.eth for giving this update on Farcaster at @variant's investor day in November. he discussed why programmable social is a "big idea," product-led protocol development, what drove 30x DAU jan-july, frames, membership-based channels, AI agents and a bunch more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfKqRKkLNW8

at our team meeting yesterday, we were talking about a shared memory layer for agents as an enabler of composability—and therefore, more specialized/simple agents to work together to accomplished more complex tasks, towards "DAOs 2.0"

Squinting at the crypto x AI Agent hype theres a kinda new, kinda old, still fuzzy angle on a "big idea" I've been excited about for over a decade: all the world's media onchain. something like... AI agents form the demand side of a market for onchain media. Agents "mint" to own media for training or some other objective. This demand for low-value mints drives onchain as the standard "port of entry" for all internet media hard part is thinking through which agents/media types to start with, and what that market/standard looks like. if you have thoughts please HMU :) A few blog posts on this topic below from @fredwilson, @jacob, yours truly.
