TLDR: To bring the world onchain, we’re rebuilding the Coinbase Wallet app to be 10x faster and easier to use, plus boosting app discovery by leveraging Farcaster Frames and their onchain social graph.

Remember when a single neural network completely rewired how people play the thousand-year-old game of Go? In just a matter of weeks, agents like Truth Terminal, Aethernet, and Flavia is Online have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers, grew their net worth to tens of millions, and subsequently changed the way we experience the great “online game”, which in its simplest form is an endless effort to capture attention and accumulate wealth. The next iteration of agents, just like AlphaGo, are about to reveal a series of insights about the collective game we all play in the pursuit of creative expression, attention capture, and making money.

Maybe blockchain is forever, but the dApps die fast.

After 3+ years of hard work, Talent Protocol is in its strongest position ever. With over 1M+ passports issued, we are quickly becoming the industry standard, adopted by major players like Base and Etherscan, even catching the attention of Coinbase's CEO. But we’re just getting started.

Introducing a new protocol for attribution of sampled AI models and media, creator earnings on mints, and add-as-you-go collection folders

Yup is starting a new phase in its existence, doubling down on creator features and rewards. We’re working hard to make Yup the best place to post from in web3 social, and we’re excited to do it on the most consumer-aligned chain in web3.

FarCon was a whirlwind of excitement and optimism. The energy IRL was electric and paying for everything on-site entirely onchain felt magical. I was also shocked by the tremendous quality of projects that I had the opportunity to judge at FarHack. It’s clear that talented builders of all types—from Farcaster-native founders to freelance developers to media enthusiasts—are eager to build on Farcaster;\* that excitement is infectious and not to be underestimated.

You might be curious as to what a “regen” is. Well, it’s a play on the word “degen” (short for degenerate), a popular meme in crypto communities. A regen stems from the same degenerate crypto shit, but we tell ourselves we’re doing it for the planet.
