Frames on Farcaster are a powerful new primitive not just for decentralized social, but for the web overall. Going beyond previous web2 attempts at open graphs and "embeds" (a la Facebook), Frames are a simple way to bring interactivity into posts -- turning posts into various applications. Importantly for web3, Frames are portable across clients (i.e., interoperable): Since the logic of the Frame lives split across the Farcaster protocol, and the server running the Frame, they are totally independent of any one client (e.g., Warpcast). For developers, this means you can create a consistent experience that can be shared all across the web. For users, it makes possible "a real and universal graph of user actions across consumer apps” (as @antoniogm put it well in a recent post). Another thing that makes Frames exciting in a way web2 couldn’t is that, because they use your Farcaster signing key, the Frame user is automatically authenticated into the Frame... So no matter which client they’re using, you know who interacted with the Frame straightforwardly. Anyway, here are a few posts from a16z crypto engineering playing around with frames in just a couple hours (they're that easy to make!)

@0xsmallbrain @farcaster_xyz Could I get the source code for this please? @0xsmallbrain

The last three replies were about origami, dogs, and football This is absurd

Which one’s the prequel and one which one’s the sequel? @NFTbark @skominers @cdixon

@cdixon Can’t wait to dig into this 😭🙏🏾 Amazon’s not letting me preorder in the U.K. so looks like a trip to the bookstore on launch day

Whoops, that image was missing Part 4. :) Here's the correct one. Pre-order link: readwriteown.com

I’m attaching the table of contents of Read Write Own below. I always like to scan through the table of contents of nonfiction books to see what, if anything, interests me, so I thought people considering the book might want to do the same. The best way to read it is end-to-end, but it’s also broken into 3-4 page chunks to allow you to skip around. A few comments: I present a series of frameworks throughout, some of which readers might have seen me discuss before. In the book, I develop these frameworks in greater detail, and illustrate them with stories and examples. Most of the frameworks apply not just to blockchains but to software and internet technologies generally, including both classic internet services and emerging areas like AI. Some of the frameworks in the book: → The platform-app feedback loop → Networks: the attract-extract cycle → Skeuomorphic vs native applications → Squeezing the balloon → Come for the tool, stay for the network → The next big thing starts out looking like a toy → Inside-out vs outside-in technologies → What the smartest people do on the weekend is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years → Internet media: the attention-monetization tradeoff → Computing cycles: Incubation vs growth phases In terms of structure, the book has five main parts: 1/ Briefly covers the history of the internet, focusing on the two most recent eras from the early 1990s through today. 2/ Dives deeper into blockchains, explaining how they work and why they matter. Shows how blockchains and tokens can be used to construct blockchain networks (aka protocols), and explain the technical and economic mechanisms by which they work. 3/ Shows how blockchain networks empower users and other network participants, answering the “why blockchains?” question people often ask. 4/ Addresses controversial questions head-on, including policy and regulatory topics and the harmful casino culture that has developed around blockchains that hurts their public perception and undermines their potential. 5/ Presents a vision of promising blockchains applications in areas like social networks, video games, virtual worlds, media businesses, collaborative creation, finance, and artificial intelligence. Whether you’re a tech veteran, a startup founder, an everyday internet user, or just someone who’s curious about the systems that govern our digital lives, I hope there’s something in the book for you.

Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself. Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has. I’m pleased to announce that @_RichardTeng, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today. Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth. Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore. With Richard and the entire team, I’m confident that the best days for @Binance and the crypto industry lay ahead. As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions. What’s next for me? I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years. After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi. I can’t see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do. On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they: - do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and - do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation. Funds are SAFU! With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion. Onwards! CZ

I upgraded how-is-this-not-illegal.vercel.app to use partial-prerendering. The speed is absolutely nuts. I see as low as 15ms TTFB from my home Wi-Fi in SF. The final result streams from us-east, where the core pokemon database is. Speed *and* code simplification. Let's dive in 🧵

I’ve been a non technical founder in the crypto space for nearly 2 years. It’s about time I learn coding to push forward my vision. 1. JavaScript or Python > before I jump into Solidity? 2. Anyone you can connect me with, or any school/bootcamp you would recommend to speedrun? Bonus thought = a16z should start a coding school like crypto summer school! Would be really helpful for non tech founders like myself 😁

Ask Me Anything -- please send questions for new podcast episode with @bhorowitz and me -- post as replies to this xeet -- thank you!

@sriramk @liz_harkavy @jay_drainjr Can’t seem to dm @liz_harkavy - just wanted to inquire about how to stay in the loop for a16 events. Or should I just stick to X/Twitter and keep an eye out?

Pretty good so far. Good to know I also didn’t waste 140 hours on playing Elden Ring until 5 in the morning 🙃 ⁦@elonmusk⁩ #downtime amzn.eu/d/dYn9XzT

The long awaited conclusory statement from UK HMT on its crypto asset regulatory regime has arrived. And it is wonderful. gov.uk/government/con… EST @griffitha could not have been more decisive in declaring the government's interest in embracing blockchain and crypto innovation: "The government’s ambition to make the UK a global hub for cryptoasset technologies remains steadfast...With the future regulatory framework now taking clear shape and the Financial Services and Markets Act now passed, the UK is the obvious choice for starting and scaling a cryptoasset business." Specifically, HMT's response: 1) Excludes airdrops from the token issuance regulatory perimeter for now, recognizing that they do not constitute a public offering. 2) Clarifies that NFTs are out of scope, specifically citing in-game purchases and sales of digital items as an example of non-financial services activity. 3) Reiterates a go-it-slow approach on DeFi, and officially recognizes that: "...DeFi may play an important role in financial services as the cryptoasset sector becomes larger and blockchain-based solutions continue to be adopted by financial markets. As such, and in line with the government’s innovation-forward approach, the government does not intend to ban DeFi." 4) Strongly disagrees with the suggestion to regulate crypto trading as gambling or an outright ban crypto, citing such approaches' divergence from international regulatory workstreams and the associated detriment to crypto-based innovation. There is more detail required, especially around concepts of decentralization to ensure the core benefit of the technology is recognized regulatorily and customers are adequately protected from legacy risks of centralization. We remain optimistic on HMT's or the regulator's interest in further exploring and highlighting this issue. The UK is taking a giant leap forward to establish itself as the global web3 centre. We couldn't have chosen a better time to be here. It's time to build!
