A reflection on profile photos

March 5th, 2022
The most popular NFTs are ones that are classified as profile picture (PFP) collections (Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, World of Women, Doodles). For many holders of these NFTs, having the artwork be your profile photo across traditional social platforms has become a norm (Twitter & Discord especially).

On-chain identity landscape

February 28th, 2022
In this article, we provide a meta-review of innovation focused on putting work, professional identity, and reputation on-chain. For the purposes of this article, we will not be including services that focus on cataloging our non-professional affinities and identities. On-chain identity is a digital representation of an individual, with the data being housed on blockchain services.

Decentralized investing in high-risk high-reward projects with retroactive funding models.

February 16th, 2022
Quadratic funding favours projects that are voted on by the greatest number of people. High-risk high-reward projects are less likely to be funded in a model where funding is dependent on consensus from the most number of people. It is far worse to fund projects that seem obvious to work on, then to not fund high-risk projects that can shift the way humanity operates due to risk tolerance.
