Updraft🪁

Been in crypto long enough to know: Projects can go from low-key to titans in no time. It's true for small projects and it's true for the whole ecosystem. Build the right tech, create the right spark, and then...magic.

@EliBenSasson Updraft doesn't need wallets, just create a passkey, and you can get free tokens to use it. You don't need to understand: * transactions * gas * wallets No additional software required. You can take your free tokens and start earning with them if you provide value to the network.

Mass adoption will come when crypto will be effortless.

New version out. updraft.fund You no longer need a wallet. You can just use a passkey, making it much easier for people new to crypto. As always, you can get free UPD to use Updraft from the discord faucet. discord.gg/mQJ58MY6Nz

I just signed the Trustless manifesto. My favorite part is that if we use incentives, we incentivize neutrality. As per the manifesto, Pure altruism will fail, as will incentivizing control. I built @UpdraftFund to work this way, and pledge to continue. etherscan.io/tx/0x15294bbe0…

I'll be speaking at @gitcoin 's @schellingpoint_ conference in Buenos Aires on Thurs, talking about how to break down barriers to participation and reward people for recognizing good ideas, through @UpdraftFund

@0xNairolf Please build a wrapper for updraft.fund . the smart contracts and subgraph are the best parts. the ux leaves a lot to be desired.

you can build a wrapper with a nice ux on top of any good crypto app and win (big)

@jessepollak @base Will you audit my smart contracts if I switch to base? I deployed on arbitrum first but I'm beginning to think it was a mistake after they rejected my application for a smart contract audit through a program they're running. Here's my code: github.com/UpdraftFund/up…

if you work hard and make an impact on @base, I will back you to the end of the world

People act like the tragedy of the commons is a law of the universe, but if you invite someone to a series of potlucks and they repeatedly don’t bring anything, you can just stop inviting them to potlucks. This is commons governance. #GraduatedSanctions

@nicrypto Not paying attention to the market at all; building a better one where getting paid to create value is decoupled from selling.

Just so you know, there are projects that aren’t even paying attention to what the market is doing. They’re literally just building. Who’s doing this?

I'm updating the @UpdraftFund contracts to allow the withdrawal address for a Solution to be set immutably in the constructor. This lets Solutions integrate with components for streaming, clawbacks, escrow, rent payments to UBI, etc.

I'm Updating the Solution contracts for @UpdraftFund to support Dependency Chains (similar to what @VitalikButerin calls "Deep Funding"). You can read about how it will be implemented in this Idea. app.updraft.fund/idea/0x621bb24…

@DisruptionJoe Please tell your DAO to start using @UpdraftFund . I launched it in June, and am trying to make it easier to use. You can read about it here: github.com/UpdraftFund . One thing I'm trying to do with it is help the DAO participation problem. Happy to answer questions.

One of the quiet privileges of academia: you spend your days surrounded by some of the brightest people on the planet — all trying to understand something deeply. Not to sell it, not to exploit it, just to understand. That changes you.

@kimmonismus Work in the future will mean helping to prioritize humanity's goals at all scales. AI will be doing this, too, but many people will want to contribute, and AI will learn what it should be doing from their contributions.

We often talk about AGI as if it were just a technical race. But what happens when machines can really do everything that is currently considered work? A new NBER paper shows that in a world with AGI, human labor will no longer be the bottleneck for growth- only computing power will be. This means that jobs that are the basis of our prosperity today could become economically irrelevant. Those who own the computers will determine prosperity. The question remains: What does work mean when it no longer has economic necessity. We are not talking about the distant future, but rather a very recent historical development.

@djxiostudio @a16z @pmarca By putting an idea on a blockchain, there's an immutable record of who created it and who supported it. Co-ownership is possible but not theft. On updraft.fund you can get paid just for posting an idea or for supporting one and multiple people can submit solutions.

@a16z @pmarca @pmarca Except in so far as a toxic culture takes that idea, claims it as their own and then remove the person who originated it. Some people don't like ideas that they can't claim as their own.

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca): The person who writes down the plan has tremendous power, regardless of their role. Very few people actually do it. Yet, that's the question: who wrote down the plan?

@a16z @pmarca Very few people write down plans, but if you're one of them, put your plan on updraft.fund . If you can recognize a good Idea when you see one, support it on updraft.fund .

@rand_longevity I built @UpdraftFund to manage the post-jobs economy.

@hthieblot Earn by posting or finding ideas that turn out to be popular. updraft.fund

@ Founders under 200 followers, what are you building? If it's cool, I'll invite you to our 40k sqft lab in SF Bonus point if it’s hardware

@buildwithDB Put them on updraft.fund . Maybe someone will want to run with them.
