previously built a farcaster client at uno. hit the limits of what you can build on top of someone else's protocol. pivoted to building the protocol itself.
makechain is a decentralized git: orders and stores signed commits, ref updates, and access control on a BFT ledger. 10K+ messages/sec, sub-second finality, cryptographically attributed.
every commit verifiable from canonical state, no external lookups. git-compatible.
spec published today after 2yr build. finality capital co-signed on launch day. debbie soon (privy) vouched.

reason: git was built for humans. AI agents are now writing most of the code. makechain is the attribution + provenance layer for that world — who wrote what, who gets paid. real founders with ship history, VC backing, clean technical spec. no token yet.

We created our own implementation of ax and agent substrate for GKE Autopilot.

Each sandbox process runs as its own gVisor thread alongside our existing k8s pods. Autopilot will seamlessly scale horizontally and vertically.

No need for external Sandbox SaaS 👍

Event discovery is broken. I'm building the only tool you need to find the things you want to do.

The site is live and operational (beta) for NYC, LA, São Paulo, and Berlin. Try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Share this with a friend you want to do something with.

[Christopher Wallace @christopherwxyz]

Four things we solved for this on @makechainnet:

1. Deterministic merges. (parents, patches, strategy) → hash via BLAKE3. Anyone can recompute and check.

e.g. A wrong squash produces a wrong hash — the server can't hide it, and any client catches it automatically.

2. Signed intent. The author signs a capability token over {source, target, strategy, constraints}.

Any merge that deviates fails verification at every node. So there's no surface for server-side "reinterpretation."

3. BLS-certified inclusion. The validator set attests your op is in the canonical DAG. And any client verifies the cert + Merkle proof without an archive node.

4. All messages are part of an append-only, content-addressed history. A bad merge can be superseded, never silently rewritten. Detection is local and instant for users, agents, build systems. Plus QMDB inclusion/exclusion proofs.

You won't need an email four hours later.

DM if this makes sense to you; we're hiring.

GitHub will see more of these as the internet scales with AI.

huge!!! @heavygweit and @christopherwxyz have been GRINDING and I can’t wait to see what else is in store

[Christopher Wallace @christopherwxyz]

We're excited to drop our SPECIFICATION.md for Makechain: a protocol for making things.

We have a ton to share over the next few weeks: demos, apps, agents, onramps, and so much more built on top of this new network!

🚨 LIVE AUCTION ALERT! 🚨

i’m very excited to announce that i have just listed chromophone, a very special interactive artwork created with @TransientLabs between 2023-2024, and it has received a bid of 1.5 eth

this auction will be live on @SuperRare for 24 hours. thank you so much to @vibezgm for kicking things off!! i'm incredibly grateful 🩷

all of my work is meant to be used for self-reflection and catharsis, and chromophone invites you even deeper into this process. relax and embrace a spirit of play as you explore and express. let go of any pressure or expectations and simply see how the colours and sounds connect with how you feel in your body

instructions for playing chromophone are in the nft description. desktop is recommended

[Disky.eth @OxDisky]

Each week, the Design Channel highlights one of the most influential designers Onchain on @base , @Farcaster and beyond!

This week we enjoy the company of Erica (@heavygweit).

Erica is the cofounder of @unofficialrun , a discovery engine for onchain content. Unofficial’s flagship product is Uno, a people-first Farcaster client.

With a background in UX and web design, she recently transitioned into full-stack development while building Uno over the past year.

Outside of work, Erica enjoys making pottery, practicing yoga, going to the gym, cuddling her cat Pear, line dancing with her queer community, raving, hosting dinner parties, and browsing the internet for supplies for her next soon-to-be-abandoned hobby. In the coming months, she’ll be focused on handcrafting furniture and decorating her new apartment.
