Highlights
Dylan Field (@zoink) and I (@matthuang) have an idea for a Neopets-inspired crypto game, and we’re looking for 1-2 people to come build it with us.
We have fun ideas for crypto-native game mechanics, and crypto infra has improved to the point of enabling them.
Eg: High throughput and low cost L2s or app chains, better onboarding (Privy embedded wallets, Odyssey experiment-001), anti-sybil mechanisms (zkpassport, Worldcoin), NFT minting mechanisms (such as VRGDAs), and NFT-fi (marketplaces, lending, etc).
We’re excited for what this could unlock for crypto gaming.
If interested, please reach out. (Application form in next tweet).
Side project idea: a "disinformation" tracker website that evaluates the truthiness of statements made by politicians (community notes style).
