recently one of my favourite things about the onchain objects i create is the ability to update them after release. coming from physical media, where the point of publishing and sale is the end point for creation, this is huge.
in the software sector, this is of course nothing new, and utilised on the protocol level. so why not bring it to the media level too?
there are lots of potential unlocks here. for example, increasing the lifecycle of a mint. currently, when i mint work, it often ends up in an “archived” state, both as a consumer and producer. i rarely revisit what i collected, effectively reducing the lifecycle of the work to the point of minting.
this is partly a browsing and display issue in wallets, and partly a lack of incentive to revisit. introducing periodic novelty can foster a more continued engagement with a piece, similar to how games or other software are patched, and new content is added.
onchain but cryptoless
form follows token
where screens serve as portals
where the ephemeral becomes eternal
a garden of whispers
personal sites, networks without engagement focus, single purpose pages. they help decentralise the internet and move it closer to its original vision of an open world, choose your own adventure gameplay.
we’ve been touching grass lately.
a smaller internet is like touching grass
minting is my love language

patching onchain media
the new luxury
part of me thinks "this sounds like faux therapy talk"
for web3 social to have longevity, it will eventually have to depart from mirroring web2 frontends
a new set of economic relationships requires a new product experience
the feed as a corporate tool
the software unfolds itself before you as your needs and ambitions with it expand
progressive software experiences
we're focusing on health, scaling back, slowing down
all done with accelerating ai hardware
these things make me so excited to not use an iphone
