KO³ | Paradise Engineering

I am dedicating my design career to advance decentralization. So today I am launching Paradise Engineering, a subscription-based design studio to support projects built on the blockchain.

@localcryptogod Hallelujah 😎

NFT twitter is SO back!

@shynrz007 Unemployment Ftw

@ParadiseEng_ the rate of skill acquisition is getting terrifying

It's INSANE what you can learn with AI in such a short amount of time.

What if you could direct a $500 trade on Solana with just a $10 bond? - No liquidations. - No funding fees. - No margin calls. Watch to see how it works on @ridemarkets 👇

@shynrz007 Absolutely genius

@ParadiseEng_ and then charging premium for the dipping sauce

Most of product design is to reinvent a 5-course meal into a mass produced chicken nugget

@TheCryptoBlade Yeas that’s the goal

@ParadiseEng_ True but nuggets sell way better than steak

@NADEAU__ Wtf is Bike Air?

Some new pick ups

It's insanely impressive that @realmsdaos manages over +4k orgs on @solana and had billions in TVL while being truely decentralized.

This is without doubt the most interesting thing in crypto you can participate in making history with just $1 or be an active caller with the bond threshold of $250

@doomerfied You fuck

I think ambient intents are going to be a big deal. There are so many intentions we have that would make our lives better, but the cost of surfacing them to a market it too high, so they never become legible to the world. You want a better job, you want to swap your couch, you would apartment-swap with someone in your web-of-trust, you would upgrade from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom if there were some graceful way to find the person who wants to size down, and you would love to sublet you place in New York without posting on Instagram and making 95% of you friends read a logistical errand that has nothing to do with them. Right now, the cost of expressing these intents is high. You have to remember the want, decide it is worth acting on, find the right channel, phrase it socially, tolerate the inbound, filter for trust, negotiate details, and then keep the whole thing alive in your head. So most of the long tail dies. Agents change this because they can keep the low-grade, half-formed wants running in the background. They know your calendar, your travel plans, your music, your reading, your friends, your constraints, and maybe your willingness to be interrupted. You listen to a band on repeat on Spotify and your agent notices they are playing 20 minutes from where you will be in California next month. You highlight a book you love in Readwise and it tells you that your friend is reading it too, and you will both be at the same dinner next week. You mention wanting Berlin in June and it quietly checks whether any trusted people from there want to apartment swap in New York then. The magic is lowering the cost of noticing, holding, matching, and negotiating these things. It will feel like a higher level of serendipity. This will require a web-of-trust that has yet to be built because there is an important privacy aspect to this. The dystopian version is "AI companies capture your intentions and auction them to whoever wants to manipulate you." The useful version is user-owned intents, where your agent can prove enough to match or negotiate without dumping your private life into a marketplace. Some of this already has been solved in cryptography: private set intersection for finding overlaps without revealing all non-matches, secure multiparty computation / homomorphic encryption for computing matches or scores over private inputs, zero-knowledge credentials for proving things like membership, attendance, reputation, or trust path without exposing everything underneath. If this works, a lot of modern life gets more liquid. Idea sharing, couches, apartments, reading groups, dinner plans, travel overlaps, introductions, tiny labor exchanges, borrowing a camera, finding the one person at an event who cares about the same weird thing. All the stuff that currently relies on posting into the void and hoping the right person happens to see it. The hard parts are real: consent, spam, weird incentives, agent loyalty, social context, and making sure this becomes a tool for people rather than a new ad exchange with better vibes. But I increasingly think the big unlock is giving our unexpressed intentions a safe place to live, and giving our agents permission to help them find each other. I know of @indexnetwork_ working on this. Anyone else?

@islanddao Really dig ze banner

fun math from our internals on @ridemarkets: $100k treasury = up to $3M/mo of call volume capital here is inventory, not fuel it rotates ~30x a month instead of getting burned we're currently using ~8% of that capacity. the bottleneck was never money — it's how fast we can onboard callers 🤝

@0XCyborg_Web3 Hope to soon, need to start paying bills first 💵

@ParadiseEng_ Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on building better decentralized systems

@MaelieLusson The best ones are always rejected 😢
