Our LK99 hopes are pretty much dashed, Grimes has earned more money from her NFT work than her entire music career, Coinbase's L2 has launched (and the launch event was streamed using the Livepeer network), Paypal has announced a stablecoin with some unsurprisingly shady features, GPT5 is coming and so Gensler has shifted focus to AI and despite earlier headlines claiming otherwise, SBF will still be facing campaign finance related charges.
-
Welcome to the weekly web3 wrap up with Amy & Devon!
LK99 just might be the biggest discovery of the 21st century so far, if it's proven to be real that is.
Twitter... er, rather, X, is really leaning into its support for creators, just as Patreon's systems are failing.
Some OG BitFinex users are about to see a huge windfall thanks to "the Crocodile of Wall Street"
Solana has a ChatGPT plugin that might become a new model for block explorers, Coinbase alleges that crypto falls outside of the SECs oversight and two US Representatives are pushing back on Apple's anti-crypto App-Store policies! -
Welcome to the weekly web3 wrap up!
In news about the walled gardens of web2, Twitter has been rebranded to X (and took someone's username in the process).
In web3 DePIN news, a new AI image-generation model has been released and it was quickly deployed to the Akash network, as was Facebook's open-source LLM "Llama", Akash's GPU rental market is going live on mainnet soon, Livepeer has been added to TurboETH, and DePIN networks now have their own category on Coingecko!
In broader web3 news, Worldcoin has launched and lots of people are getting their eyeballs scanned to get their hands on some, despite Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin sharing concerns about its privacy.
And finally, in US policy news, four cryptocurrency focused bills have been voted out of committee and will be voted on by the whole house soon! -
GM & welcome to the web3 weekly wrap up!
In news about the walled gardens of web2, use of Meta’s Twitter clone Threads is dying even faster than expected, while WB has attempted to save The Flash by releasing it “on blockchain”
In web3 DePIN news, Arweave hit 1 billion transactions, The Graph’s substreams-powered subgraphs dramatically boost performance, Filecoin lowered storage costs by 40% and Akash enables generation of the beautiful stable diffusion QR codes Amy likes so much.
On the AI front, studies have proven what everyone has been speculating about for the past month, ChatGPT is indeed getting dumber. Meanwhile The Simulation released research on generative TV & showrunner agents that can write, animate, direct, voice, and edit TV shows with a prompt.
In policy news, US house republicans have introduced a new draft of their market structure bill, the federal reserve has launched FedNow while helpfully reminding everyone that it’s not a CBDC, and presidential candidate RFK Jr has unveiled his plan to back the US dollar with Bitcoin.
