We’re seeing teams enshrine specific and differentiating parts of UX into the network itself which is super promising!

Every cycle in crypto promised community ownership. But most delivered the opposite — NFTs and memecoins turned communities into consumers, not owners. Dreamchain from @dreamcoins breaks that pattern. A chain run entirely by AI agents, owned by the people who stake into it.

Launching a chain will soon be as easy, fast, and cheap as deploying a smart contract Docs are rolling out. CLI/dev tools coming. DMs open

The first wave of Syndicate's developer docs is here. If you’re building an appchain, this is where you start. Clean. Clear. Made for builders who want to customize, control, and own their networks.

Every (app)chain will end up being five things at the core: + native asset generation + identity/reputation + oracles + incentives/rewards + exchange/payments We've been seeing this across every vertical and implementation—all enshrined into the network and sequencers

What’s the problem you can’t stop thinking about? @boysclub asked founders, and their answers aren’t about the tech. They’re about better economic systems, aligning incentives, and people being rewarded for the value they create. This is why they’re building in web3.

In 1929, just 13% of rural homes had electricity. By 1944, it was 94%. How? "Electric cooperatives" owned the infrastructure they built. But today, blockchains with programmable sequencers can make any piece of infrastructure community owned and controlled.

Decentralization is often seen as the ultimate goal, but what if it's not always ideal for community-owned networks? Syndicate Appchains enable networks to evolve across a spectrum of decentralization models by updating their sequencer’s permissions.

i think revenue or fee sharing tokens are orthogonal to appchains - you can do both

We need to realign incentives so that infrastructure, apps, and users win together. New approaches are emerging: app-specific chains where value more directly flows back to the application's community. When users and communities have skin in the game, they’re more invested in a platform’s success. The next wave of web3 growth will come from networks with economic models where value flows to those who use and help contribute to them. Infrastructure should serve the apps and users, not extract value from them.

I see something special in @zora's new app/path. I think people are trying to box it into something like a "token launcher" that it is not. If you look at the user experience and behavior it is very different. Optimistic and hopeful it breaks out. Would be huge for crypto apps.

yea... Fat Apps are web2 if they actually read the Fat Protocol Thesis tbh, it's weird to me that people don't realize this when they say "Fat App"

So apparently the GTM now is to launch a token then convince someone to launch an ETF for it?

Most builders plug into existing infrastructure. But what if you could design your own? Here’s how to go from idea to appchain ↓
