Onchain systems that facilitate royalties and IP licensing are wildly undervalued - and the pressure is only increasing with AI

Why crypto could solve AI's challenges:

[Tara Harris @tarasharris]

@DarenMatsuoka @a16zcrypto Totally agree - the growth is wild, but the story is really in that decoupling.

[Tara Harris @tarasharris]

Some good stuff in the @a16zcrypto report, but this chart really jumps out - stablecoin activity ripping while broader trading ebbs and flows. Wild growth in 2025.

Our latest State of Crypto report is here.

The main theme for the year is the maturation of the crypto industry:

• Traditional financial institutions and fintechs launched crypto products
• DeFi and stablecoins went mainstream
• Blockchains got faster and cheaper
• The regulatory shift in the U.S. revived builder confidence

Interesting piece from @coincenter on the privacy implications of stablecoins- worth a read: https://t.co/HtFpQbAkAd

[Neeraj K. Agrawal @NeerajKA]

Forcing the square peg that is traditional AML surveillance into the round hole of public stablecoin transactions creates a financial panopticon that's just as bad, if not worse, for American's privacy than a hypothetical CBDC could be.

Ben Horowitz says a famous Hollywood friend told him half the movie they’re making is AI.

It’s collapsing the cost of filmmaking, and when creation gets cheap enough, entirely new mediums could emerge.

BREAKING: @Gemini HIKES ITS CREDIT CARD ANNUAL FEE TO $0, UP $0

[Tara Harris @tarasharris]

@niftygateway devs been busy!

[Sam Spratt @SamSpratt]

A mess of additions to the Masquerade and Mask Market we announced in Toledo are now live.

I walk through them in the video but the purpose is to continue to close the distance between each mask from one another and close the distance between each mask and the Masquerade itself, creating many tunnels to slip between Mask, Masquerade, Observation, Response, and back, burrowing between the links in the network.

Changes to the Mask Market:

Masks are now sorted by Chroma in a long gradient
Masks can now be sorted by Region where its Observation was placed
Masks can now be sorted by their adornments such as which Masks have horns or tusks
Masks can now be sorted by their materials such as wood, stone, ebony, or feather
Reserved Masks for the Exhibition Winners have been given a new Rank
A strip of other Mask thumbnails if viewable when you go to each Mask page
Sped up the page performance to load much quicker

Changes to the Masquerade:

All Masks are now viewable within the Masquerade viewer
Masks can be viewed by hovering over each, or enlarged and cycled through in a gallery viewer
The default ordering of observations is now randomized, making each time you revisit the page surface someone new.
Replies are now collapsed helping with legibility
Added Rank badging from the Market to the Observation panel (Finalist, Seer, Council, etc)

There are some additional changes and tweaks from our Toledo experience which will be making their way in soon as well but I hope you enjoy the changes. My deep thanks to @niftygateway for continuing to support this as a living and breathing record of this gathering rather than a “drop” or marketplace and to @musicalnetta for surfacing and working with us to make it better through her amazing Mask deep dives. The work continues.

The Key by @SamSpratt

"A private key was hidden, scattered in fragments across The Monument Game."

More than two years later, @0xHyla has solved the puzzle and claimed a 1/1 key artwork.

[Tara Harris @tarasharris]

Excited to see the upcoming events at @ToledoMuseum coming to life - another step in an epic journey for some incredible artists. @SamSpratt @MrsRachelSpratt wish I could be there in person - will be there in spirit, trusting @redbeardnft to carry that forward.

[Nifty Gateway Studio @niftygateway]

Happy IPO Day! We are thrilled that @Gemini is officially listed on Nasdaq!

[Tara Harris @tarasharris]

An unforgettable day for @Gemini. Honored to be on this journey with you, congratulations @cameron and @tyler!
