still believe in music, art, culture, and communication riding free on open protocols and the internet generally moving into new paradigms for how we do this kind of thing
2026 will be a time of rapid evolution in these areas. the past few have seen progress, forward and back, but we’ll move faster when we decouple from the idea that we need wait for new platforms to launch and be the home for all this
we’ll do it ourselves. build our own worlds and scenes. dark forests and billboards. distribution via open protocols to all the apps at once
signals include @xmtp as an open messaging protocol. @ensdomains and @privy for ID and auth. Arweave for provenance
we’re in the lab
