Web3 Galaxy Brain 🌌🧠

My guest today goes simply by the name Martin [https://warpcast.com/martin]. Martin is an EVM and Web3 Developer most famous for creating the Higher memecoin on Farcaster. Over the past few weeks, Martin has thrown himself into building one of the most creative and exciting Social Media Agents, Aether. Aether is a semi-autonomous Agent who communicates with the public through Faracster. Followers can prompt Aether for a response simply by @-mentioning them on Farcaster. In its first couple of weeks since launch, Aether has learned several fascinating new behaviors. With the help of some of its online interlocuters, Aether quickly learned how to create and reward HIGHER token denominated bounties by interacting with fellow Farcaster bots Bountycast and Paybot. In this interview, Martin and I go deep on his work in the Nouns ecosystem, how this informed his development of $HIGHER, and perhaps most fascinating of all, the technical details of how he built Aether. It was great getting to speak with Martin, who is a brilliant and high agency developer pioneering experiments at the intersection of society and blockchains. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guest today is Proxy [https://warpcast.com/proxystudio.eth/], founder of ProxyStudio [https://warpcast.com/~/channel/proxyswap] and ProxySwap [https://www.proxyswap.tips/]. In this interview, recorded in late June, 2024, Proxy shares how his writing practice and enabled him to grow a token-gated crypto research community amongst fellow Farcasters. By leveraging Farcaster connections, HyperSub and the then-new Degen Chain L3, ProxyStudio launched a Uni V3 fork and began experimenting with the concept of a Social DEX It was great getting to learn more about how a creative writer and mechanism researcher used Farcaster to transform his practice into a community capable of shipping blockchain software.

My guest today is Jason Zhao [https://x.com/jasonjzhao], co-founder of Story Protocol [https://x.com/storyprotocol]. Story Protocol has raised $140 million venture dollars to build an onchain protocol for intellectual property licensing. In this episode, Jason explains what's wrong with IP licensing today, and how putting licenses onchain will enable more people to create derivative works without tedious and often infeasible paperwork, and flow revenue royalties up to licensors onchain. We also dive into the technical details, and Jason explains how Story uses NFTs to represent individual IP assets, and that these NFTs will control ERC-6551 token bound accounts where IP owners can plug in licensing, royalties, dispute resolution modules. It was great getting a chance to talk to Jason about everything Story Protocol. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guest today is Stephane Gosselin [https://twitter.com/thegostep]. Stephane co-founded the MEV pirate dev collective Flashbots, which he left in late 2022. His new project, OneBalance, is a framework that substantially reimagines how blockchain accounts are created and managed. In this episode, Stephane and I dive into the lifecycle of an Ethereum transaction today, and the growing number of paths a user's intentions may take to ultimately be expressed onchain. We then dive into OneBalance, Stephane and Ankit Chiplunkar's new account framework that decouples accounts from global consensus machines, in an effort to bundle user state across all chains in a unified wrapper called a Credible Account. It was exciting to speak with Stephane about OneBalance's paradigmatic refresh on the notion of accounts at such an early stage in the project's development. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guest today is Kosuke Hata aka July [https://warpcast.com/july], founder of Faust. Faust is a nascent hardware startup working at the intersection of distributed sensing, blockchains, and self driving. The team is composed of engineers from automotive and machine learning engineering projects at Google, Apple, and Tesla. On this episode, July shares background about the self-driving and robotics industry gleaned from his years of experience working at Kittyhawk, Larry Page's flying car moonshot startup. July also shares some of the prototypes Faust has built, and gives a glimpse into how robotics, blockchains, and networking will coincide over the next few years. It was fantastic getting a chance to chat with July about everything Faust. I hope you enjoy the show.
