Today, we released a major upgrade of the @zora protocol.

We are bringing secondary markets onchain with @Uniswap to unlock more value for creators and collectors after a mint.

When the mint ends, the market begins.
It's like magic. Image Our goal is to build the most rewarding place to create and collect on the internet.

This means pairing the most efficient minting models with the most simple user experience possible.

This requires constant iteration and evolution at the protocol level. Image

New essay: Hyperstructures

The nature of crypto protocols opens up expansive new models to create free, invaluable and unstoppable public infrastructure.

I define Hyperstructures, and why they will form the basis of the internet for decades to come.

jacob.energy/hyperstructure… Hyperstructrures are crypto protocols that are:
↳ Unstoppable
↳ Free
↳ Valuable
↳ Expansive
↳ Permissionless
↳ Positive sum
↳ Credibly neutral

Hyperstructures run entirely onchain, and can operate for as long as the underlying blockchain they're deployed on.

Loving the @cent tweet experiment play out. It’s another great NFT reference point.

They’re very clearly not the “original” because that is the live and working tweet on twitter.

The framing that most resonates is that they’re 1/1 autographed posters by @cent. The Cent Tweet NFTs are a “weaker” form of ownership compared to an artwork that’s created on @SuperRare or @niftytime

It's a cultural idea that shapes modern identity, work and life. Similar to Romanticism in the 19th century.
