The Inaugural Protocol Townhall! Designing Digital Physics is Serious Business.

Bitcoin showed how to create Digital Matter people value more than its real counterpart (gold). Ethereum showed how Programmable Economies let anyone evoke massive coordination with 1-deploy. Biomes uses Programmable Economies on Digital Matter to birth the Metaverse.

THE WORLD COMPUTER IS FOR WORLDS

On January 20, 2025 I will be stepping down as @SECGov Chair. A thread 🧵⬇️

Biomes is an autonomous world project and major onchain challenger to Minecraft It's also readying for domination @wmpeaster has the op-ed ✍️: ----------------------------------------------------- @redstonexyz, an Ethereum Layer 2 centered around autonomous worlds and onchain games, has experienced a recent activity surge, much of which can be explained by the rise of @biomesAW. An autonomous world project, Biomes is a fully onchain virtual environment, and its alpha release kicked off in October 2024. The vision? Become the virtual world with the largest GDP, i.e. economic activity. Built atop @latticexyz's MUD onchain app framework, Biomes is still early in its development, but it aims to achieve its ambitious economic goals through a trio of fundamental pillars: Digital Matter, Smart Items, and Infinite Expansion. The basics worth keeping in mind here: 🧱 Digital Matter makes up the resources, like wood and beyond, of the Biomes world. ⚗️ Smart Items allow in-world objects like chests to function according to customizable smart contracts, paving the way for a wide range of economic use cases. 🌌 Infinite Expansion refers to how the world’s growth is open to all—anyone will eventually be able to run nodes to expand and help steer the project. Taken altogether, these pillars point to a future where people will be able to lean on the mechanics and asset system of Biomes to run actual virtual businesses. In other words: making money will be possible in many different ways here. The project still has plenty of things to build and touch up before it goes all-out on its planned vampire attack on Minecraft. Expect more announcements and rollouts in 2025 accordingly. That said, though you can still get an early taste of the vision by checking out the alpha release at biomes.aw. Upon signing in, you’ll receive a dedicated wallet you can deposit ETH into to cover your in-world transaction fees. 0.01 ETH is enough to cover 1,000s of transactions, and I recommend opting for the Relay option for fast transfers. After this, you can press the “Play” button to dive in. If you do start to explore Biomes, you’ll be prompted to complete a series of initial quests by the Settlers Union, a player-created organization. These quests will help you become acquainted with the world's basic mechanics and earn your first in-world items. Once you’re done with your initiation events, the name of the game is mining and trading resources and making and protecting new builds. Think Minecraft, right, but with all the wide open possibilities that come with being fully onchain. To be sure, things are super early around Biomes right now, but it's got serious long-term potential. Down the road, the project can even tap synergies with other technologies, like AI agents and trusted execution environments (TEEs), to unlock new kinds of interactive onchain social experiences. cBiomes is an autonomous world projetc and major onchain challenger to Minecraftrd.

"Biomes feels like Ethereum but more playful" - @DittoJoBrr Smart Items present a new vision of smart contracts. Digital Matter presents a new vision of blockchain-created scarcity. Biomes is Embodied Ethereum. It will be a long road with many cycles - but it is inevitable.

Sad to see the terrible CT sentiment around ETH when there are so many cool apps being built in the ecosystem FOCGs like @PirateNation @kamigotchiworld @biomesAW @primodiumgame @RealmsEternum are all built on L2s/L3s & pushing the boundaries of what you can do onchain The community needs to stop talking about infra all the time and get WAY louder about projects like these

@pet3rpan_ What’s even more interesting is how the financial systems might evolve to be native to these sandboxes, with players creating their own markets.

Blockchain experiences open up the intersection of play between games, computational sandboxes, and financial systems.

Everyone will eventually be pilled on onchain media

@BiggBillBrasky @Ethprofit Evolution is inevitable, no matter how resistant

@Ethprofit In a situation like this would miners ever be profitable without the additional network activity and subsequent collapse? I feel like this will spur BTC to upgrade accordingly or die.

$BTC will only be used on #Ethereum
