backed by folks including Patron.fund, SV Angel, Samsung Ventures, and leading angels

entrepreneur in residence at the largest decentralized venture fund

born out of ByBit, bitDAO aka Mantle has $3B AUM and governed by a decentralized group of holders

learned a ton about decentralized coordination, tokenomics, onchain incentive models, met great people, some who I’ve invested in since then and some who’ve invested in our latest venture

in August 2021, I was fell into an onchain gravity well, nerdsniped by the idea of a sci-fantasy world owned not by Disney/HBO/Random House, but owned by the internet.

Loot is an internet-native, decentralized, open source, infinitely-expansive world of interconnected sci-fantasy stories, games, art & multimedia, released to the public domain by its original creator dhof.

along the way, I've found myself as one of the defacto leaders of the Lootverse, aka Loot's unpaid intern, alongside folks like Loaf, LootHero, Devon, Raul, and Caygeon

here's a speedrun on Loot, the on-chain scaffolding for a massively-multiplayer collaborative world-building experiment

• Built Loot.foundation, the first LDK (lore development kit)

• Organized an onchain writing grants program for sci-fantasy writers, funded by Loot contributors, Figma CEO Dylan Field, and other notable leaders.

• Leading the effort to publish a book of short stories, emergent lore built up from Loot's onchain canon

• Shepherded 3 rounds of Gitcoin grants for Lootverse builders

Loot is what opened my eyes to the power of multiplayer media and decentralized worldbuilding.

2008-2021 - was the cofounder & ceo of a top 5 independent ad exchange until we were acquired a few years ago by a PE firm

got to solid scale ($100M rev // 200 employees)

broke a bunch of things, created a category, learned a ton

shed my meatspace IRL skin and was born onchain as Timshel

Scrips are dynamic onchain time capsules that contain recursively-rendered emergent art, words and more — preserved in a networked graph onchain for excavators of the future to find, inspect, and learn about our world.

Chainspace is among the earliest generative art projects inscribed to Bitcoin in Feb 2023

live demo, directly rendered from BTC transaction data into your browser*

each “portal” is an infinite art machine that transforms the viewer into generative art

in chainspace, you are the art

*if you have a local Bitcoin node synced, you can even turn your internet off and this still works, because it's being directly rendered from Bitcoin transaction data — meaning Chainspace will live forever, with no dependence on Amazon/Google/web hosting/etc, or for at least as long as Bitcoin survives

built The Eye with a ragtag group of collaborators — it’s a collectible artifact that contains an infinite library of on-chain stories, an onchain canvas for sci-fantasy storytelling

a worldbuilding primitive for the Lootverse, driven by a trustless, collaborative character-building game

learned a ton, met a bunch of anon people who became real friends, still can hear the whispers of the genesis adventurers on the edge of the mist

"Like a Web3-native Snapchat filter or ASCII-based video feed, this experimental art project is minting NFT-based apps across chains."
