ETHDenver

A fantastic week hanging out in Denver and meeting tons of new faces. Excited to expand the @metacade experience through farcaster via frames in the coming weeks. Now time to hit the slopes.

Aggregate data is the way. We’ve seen that with Google and now OpenAI it’s all about talking to what we (in my team) call an “Aggregated Entity”. What an individual listens to on Spotify has indeed little to no value to the artist but its critical when its coellesed into a larger data set that marketing folks use for trends or targeting campaigns.

I disagree with the distinction between user owned and public data being negligible, this difference is critical if we want to create a world where individuals own their data and are incentivised for creating it. For example, what people are posting about on twitter SHOULD be incentive and verifiably cited.

Aggregated entity via AI interfaces is da way

Why do testnet faucets exist? The owner company can just act as a paymaster and sponsor all transactions (see base smart wallet). What am I missing here?

EthCC

Looking forward to being in Brussels for EthCC next week. See you there fellow hackooors. 🇧🇪

This week we shipped update 6 of Gangs of Metacadia (GoM) - we have built out an items and inventory system to the game where we dynamically generate items (images/stats) with AI on the fly using Claude Sonnet 3.5. Getting closer to beta testing phase now.

I will be in Prague for Eth Prague talking about Gitpaid and how we’re reinventing open source contributions. If you’re interested in catching up and having a beer hit me up! 🙌

Amsterdam

Morning all builders!  We will be hosting baseDAM -  a meetup to celebrate all things based (we will be having speakers & project demo's). If you are *based* in Amsterdam, please feel free to join.  Beers & Pizza supplied. And if you are building a project and would like to speak just  HM

I’ll be talking at BASEdam about how to build an on chain strategy game. You can also follow my journey on YouTube

This week I started building Gangs of Metacadia - a strategy game where
rival gangs fight for control of a cyberpunk inspired neon futuristic city.

Building an onchain strategy game at the moment and I must say it’s an incredibly fun journey. imagine world pvp but with a rich story and more game theory applied.

No Channel Channel.

Uniswap needs to come up with some sort of verified token, I’ve monitored PairCreated events the last 3 days and they are 99.7% automated rugs that fund with a few dollars, hope someone buys in, then remove liquidity. Over and over again. Probably makes up for a lot of “fake” traffic on L2s.

This week I built the last features for closed-beta testing GitPaid - after winning the Eth Global hackathon in London with our idea it’s now getting to see the light of day. GitPaid is simply the easiest way for developers to earn while contributing to open source software on GitHub. Hit me up for a demo 🍻

This is what peak performance looks like.
