so many early-stage projects to be excited about. think we see a new wave of category defining teams coming out this cycle, many of which are uniquely "consumer" facing and could inspire true mass onboarding. some highlights just from the last two weeks on @monad_xyz @monad_eco.

Being a brand “for the culture” is not the same as being truly of / from the culture. The former commercializes culture and exploits the audience that novel ideas came from. The latter creates new forms of identity and helps culture evolve. e.g., Nike emerged from the true.

the most important aspect in brand building is authenticity. if your marketing is overly commercialized or isn't truly in the culture, people can tell right away. consumers are smart and know when things feel right or if they're cringe.

A billion agents onchain. IMO the next wave of consumer crypto may not even be built for users, but rather UI + use cases entirely for agents. Would look into who’s building for agent-to-agent interaction vs human-agent.

The thesis for 1 billion agents on Monad is simple: . Parallel execution + EVM's data richness = ideal environment for agent development and coordination.

We have more blockspace than we have apps. 1. Not all blockspace is made equal. 2. Demand comes slowly, then all at once. We’ve seen this play out before, and it’ll happen again.

IP and data ownership remains a compelling use case in consumer. We saw the first iteration of this with NFTs last cycle, where value prop = own your own data, identity, and internet sub-culture. Two areas here that still feel ripe for disruption:. 1. Creator economy: everyone.
Consumer crypto will lead for the next decade and outside of just buying and holding BTC and ETH, building, investing and using new products is the best way to spend time. Recently shipped products worth checking out: . @LolWildcard: Farcaster client that lets you bet on people.

Wonder if the new meta for protocol growth teams moving forward will be to deploy an AI agent with a CA as the evolution of the "intern" accounts.

Wrote a month ago about AI + agents as a sector that’s here to stay. Things still feel like they’re ramping up. Agents 2.0: Infra + agents that capture real revenue. Think this happens in 3 ways:. 1. Infra: launchpads + frameworks are / will continue be the easiest way to bet on.

One of the biggest themes across Madness teams was the focus on UX and simplifying onchain activities. A pre-req to have millions/billions onchain is to have the lowest friction UX possible. Users should not have to take 7 minutes to bridge across 2 chains, find a protocol that

Virtuals going up as a launchpad bc of reflexive token dynamics is nice, but it is ultimately valuable based on the success of its agents. Similar to the way L1 landscape vs consumer apps is evolving, there is more and more of a premium on the apps who own the end consumer.

@cryptopunk7213 I think what makes gaming x metaverse more interesting now is the rise of AI companions. There are young people spending more time in relationships with agents on than with IRL friends. Now spend time with that agent in a digital world with shared.

Protail trading terminal space is becoming increasingly saturated. In a field with relatively commoditized features / products, two things matter most. 1. How well can you define your “core thing”? Focused and strategic building. 2. How much do you talk to users, and how quickly.
