happy to be partnering with @eli_schein on making punks more accessible to people and institutions that need a hand getting onboarded 🤝

Finding the perfect Punk isn’t always easy. We are partnering with @canonpunks for Punks that aren’t listed on the open CryptoPunks Market. Tap “Inquire” on any Punk and Canon will reach-out to help you find it.

Excited to help more collectors find their forever Punk.

💸 Today I invested in a new thing:
Ethereum is essentially a public spreadsheet with every transaction being visible for everyone forever
But that makes it impossible to use for banks because it's not private. Imagine you buy something and everyone in the entire world can see it? That'd be never be accepted
So my friend @oskarth has been working on a new thing called @eth_systems that lets banks use Ethereum but while keeping transactions private
Before this he was working for 10 years on stuff like zk-SNARK (math tricks that let you prove something is true without revealing the details) and advising the Ethereum Foundation, he's the most high IQ person I know, so when he started something that's for-profit (after lots of non-profit work) I asked to invest immediately
YC always taught me to invest in people not companies, the companies (and product) can change (and should) and it can pivot into lots of other things, but if you trust the person you can estimate a higher likelihood of it (and your investment) working out
If you like to see what they will make, follow @eth_systems 😊😊😊

Yesterday was my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today we are launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. I've spent close to a decade building privacy infrastructure in crypto: p2p messaging at @ethstatus, developing Waku protocols at Vac (both now part of @logos_network), mobile proving tooling with @zkmopro, teaching zero-knowledge proofs with my zkintro primer, and advising @ethereumfndn on privacy and access layer strategy. Most of that was aimed at individuals. The past year at EF's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) we've been looking at privacy for institutions. On the surface this might seem different, but there are a lot of similarities. There's also a very strong market need for it, and the timing is right. I've written in the past about the tension and overlap between cypherpunks and institutions. Twitter is not exactly the best medium for nuance, but right now we are at a sensitive point in time: the defaults for the next generation of financial infrastructure are being set, with or without us. I believe we need cypherpunks in the room when that happens. Excited to start @eth_systems together with my co-founder @motypes and @_rymnc as part of the founding team. See quoted announcement thread for more details. x.com/eth_systems/st…

AI writing is so good now, there are only a handful of idiosyncrasies left to point out. Those will vanish shortly.

Yes and no. Legacy institutions today look more like influencers, VCs, TikTokers, marketplaces. Someone still needs to validate the importance of the object, either through transactions or a constant push of a narrative. For culture to form, we still need institutions; we are just have different names...🤔
English
The ground truth here is that today’s most desirable culture assets form around shared experience, networks and community - not what legacy institutions tell you is important and valuable.

Alexis Ohanian (@alexisohanian) says collectibles are his generation's contemporary art: "Having an '86 Fleer Jordan rookie card in mint condition on my desk is a more satisfying flex for me than having, like, a Warhol." "I'm a big fan of collectible video games, match-worn athletic apparel, etc. All these things are culture assets for us." "I think this is our contemporary art. Especially for a generation of us who grew up collecting and idolizing [these athletes]."

@awrigh01 did not sleep well after the robot hand demo. @ChrisF_0x slept great. 😅

@delta_alpha_ohm Institutions meaning = entrenched system of value creation, not literal institutions
English
institutions have still paved the way/have precedence - metmuseum.org/exhibitions/bu… - like NFT’s sports cards offer better varying degrees of entry as you know and it’s good for institutions to collect a range of objects whether we want to call it art or not - the creator economy really muddies this previous bifurcation

Today is my birthday!🥳🎂🎈
I usually don’t announce it on socials, but this year I’m launching my new Chikai Films website!
My birthday wish is for you to subscribe to my new YT channel!🙏 (link in comment below)
The new site is where my film work will reside. I’ve found that my film practice is very distinct from my art practice and it needed its own home. I’ll be posting new short films on the YT channel and the vertical shorts that you may have already seen here on X. I’ve realized that the characters I’ve created in my shorts is a direct reflection of my inner monologue and they also happen to be AI agents that I’ve created within my cinematic AI workflow that I have given names too. It should be a fun way to see what is going through my mind as I make my films.
Thanks for all of your support!

🍾 ANOUNCEMENT 🥂
I’m incredibly proud to share that William Mapan’s Sketchbook A #64 has been acquired by the @v_and_A museum, and that Sketchbook A #55, Sketchbook B #60, Études #336, #337 and #360 have been collected by @arabbankCH. Both series were released via @solos_gallery.
For those unfamiliar, SOLOS is a gallery specialising in releasing curated projects on Verse.
Alongside our online programme, we’ve curated IRL exhibitions, produced short films, participated in art fairs, and published monographs.
We’ve also commissioned curators from institutions including the V&A, Whitechapel, Serpentine, ZKM and The Photographers’ Gallery to write about our artists and their work.
We’ll continue to work with artists whose practices we believe in and whose work we feel deserves a place in the history of contemporary art.
The biggest thank you to our collectors and artists. Your belief in us and what we’re building is what makes all of this possible.
And of course, a very special thank you to @williammapan for trusting us with two extraordinary series. It’s been a privilege, and something we’re incredibly proud to have shared. ❤️

I’m very grateful to collect this new personal commission from ACK today that began more than seven months ago. He had complete creative freedom with this incredible work and the monumental physical will soon be displayed at the Carl Sagan Art Residence project.
Thank you ACK for your true friendship and allowing me to steward this epic piece. I couldn’t be happier 🙏
