On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle do NOT talk about Rizzlefest. Promise.
Instead, the conversation focuses on the shifting of the guard that's taking place from builders to collectors and artists and beyond and what that means for those of us focused on a particular mission and align with a specific type of building ethos.

Matthew & Rizzle pour one out for the legendary Toxsam and his team at Polygonal Minds on this week's episode of MARS.
It's tough out there on the streets of the metaverse for early founders. Last week it was KO, this week Polygonal Minds called it a wrap. But don't despair! These things happen in the early days of any new space. Lessons will be learned. And you better believe Toxsam and fam will return with something fresh and new once they get some much-needed rest.
The landscape they'll return to is already so much more fertile than when they originally started their metaverse tinkering, as evidenced by projects like Base Colors and ColorPunks along with a whole slew of other new ventures spinning up basically in a fortnight over on the purple app. The first day of the metaverse may be ending, but a new era of the metaverse is dawning.

Matthew & Rizzle are back from summer vacation and immediately went into the TokenSmart studio to record a new episode of MARS.
The two discuss touching grass, kbbq, and the joys of taking a proper break before trying to catch up on the century's worth of events. Before talking about the explosion of prediction markets led by Polymarket and the shuttering of KnownOrigin, the two talk about the Rizzlefest alpha leaks that came out of last week's WIP Meetup and tease tomorrow's WIP featuring Jake of Base Colors and the legendary JOYWORLD.

On this weeks episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off shouting out Ash, creator of Hyperfy, and the latest works in progress he recently tweeted about. After that the duo zoom out and talk about the differences emerging in the independent crypto-powered VR space versus specifically gaming focused VR space citing a recent cast over on the purple app by JK over on the purple app sharing some surprisingly strong revenue numbers projects like Gorilla Tag have been doing.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off showering Sho in shoooo [sic] much praise.
Matthew specifically shouts out last week's Afties soliloquy about the "Infinite Pause" it felt like the majority of the crypto space was stuck in.
The conversation jumps into a preview of the WIP this Thursday featuring the Italy-based metaverse project DVERSO that the Vipe crew introduced to all of us last month. DVERSO has been cooking up a cool metaverse project under the radar of a lot of folks, which led Matthew & Rizzle to ponder how (and if) all the metaverse projects that are currently out there can differentiate themselves and strategies that others can adopt in a world of ever increasing same-same-but-different metaverse projects.
Right before signing off, Matthew downloads Rizzle on the latest crypto drama courtesy of Yuga Labs and their bungled attempt at launching the Larva Labs Artist Residency (that may have already been sunset?) that was set to feature a paid drop by the stellar artist Nina Chanel exclusively open to Punks holders, that, apparently, most Punks holders neither wanted nor appreciated.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle recap last week's WIP Meetup featuring the Vipe squad and a whole gang of freshly minted Grifter Squadies kicking ass, taking names, and racing one another over in DEVERSO, an immediately playable metaverse project that many found out about for the first time in real time during the WIP.
That conversation transitioned into a meta discussion on the state of metaverse projects and demand, which in turn expanded into a (scary) discussion led by Matthew on potential threats facing crypto broadly that ended with Rizzle saying some magic words to minimize the Matt's worries. For now.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle talk about the Grifter Squaddies drop on vipe.io brought to the metaverse by the legendary Toxsam. Fun fact: Matthew, Rizzle, and NonFunGerbil Luke all got a similar (but actually rather rare) Grifter Squaddie.
After red-pilling Rizzle into scooping his squaddie, the conversation shifted to talking about a Brookhawk-inspired topic: Interface. The app that launched in 2023 is still around and pushing out updates, but many other projects have largely incorporated it's main functionality of following other wallets and tracking onchain transaction history as a feature.
That led into a reflection on Cent, being too early when building something net-new in a burgeoning sector, the hair width's difference between succeeding and failing, and how we are ALL hoping the purple app doesn't eff it up.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off talking about the background of the $SAFE airdrop and how folks can look into if they received an allocation (just check https://app.safe.global) before diving into a brand new experiment from the Cent team called Up.Army, or just Up for short.
After giving a so-so breakdown of what Up and bonding curves are, Matthew called an audible and brought Cameron, co-founder of Cent, to give a better overview of what Up is and how to think about it.
To round things out, Matthew & Rizzle give folks a quick preview of tomorrow's Cyberbrokers-themed WIP Meetup. Pro-tip: make sure you sign up to https://www.paradigmfound.com/ ahead of time.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle reflect on everything that happened outside and around (i.e. not at) the NFT NYC conference last week. The vibes were reminiscent of a 5 year class reunion. Everyone is in a better situation, successful, and still very much friends. For everyone that we met there, it was a pleasure, and everyone we missed, make sure you hit up Rizzlefest in the fall.

What. A. Tuesday. Sheesh.
On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle try to unpack all the big things that went down on Tuesday March 26th in Cryptoland starting with the sold out CENTS release over on sovrn.art. Matthew explains the nuance and artistic intent behind the project before touching on the $200k "Vampire Kiss" DRAKULA is currently carrying out by offering video content creators up to $1000 in $DEGEN a week to take their Tik-tok talents to the Farcaster protocol powered video sharing app.
Before getting to the third big news event of Tuesday, Rizzle jumps in to give an up date on Rizzlefest 2024 and sings Charl3s of Nifty Island's praises for absolutely crushing the WIP last week and previewing tomorrow's WIP featuring the spectacular Bay Backner who will be taking the WIP Fam into Decentraland to tour the MESH Fair Art Week build out.
On the way to wrapping up, Matthew gives a quick overview of the $62M Munchables hack that happened on the Blast shitchain before highlighting the badass SEAL 911 Team that appears to have swooped in to save the day, $62M, and somehow and extra $35M in the process.

This week on MARS, Matthew & Rizzle talk about working in web3 - some red flags, good signs, and other things to be on the look out for as you interview with various teams and projects in the space based on their decade plus experience working in crypto full-time.
That conversation (somehow) ends up becoming a vibe check on the overall state of the blockchain that examines the past week of memecoin shenanigans as well as million dollar mints by XCOPY x Neonglitch on Farcaster along with other artists mints from folks like Fabiano Speziari and neurocolor.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off with some WIP News (ty Drago for the new intro music). Big things coming for the WIP.
After that, the conversation shifts to the latest meta in the crypto space: MEME COINS before wrapping up with a brief chat about the burgeoning communities building out in the EVM hinterlands of Base, Optimism and beyond aided by the amazing NFT focused guide by William Peaster for folks curious, but unsure where to start.

This week on MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kicked things of discussing the latest "Rizzle News."
After that the conversation shifted to reflections on the last two weeks of minting the show on Pods.Media and how much more meaningful mints have felt compared to generic listens. Check out the Dune Dashboard for Pods to see all the onchain data for all the pods minted through it.
Go mint this episode on Pods right HERE.
Speaking of onchain, a large portion of the show focused on the "gentrification" and history of the term 'onchain' in addition to discussions covering last week's WIP featuring Elated Pixel, tomorrow's WIP featuring Stina Jones, Marble Cards and the WIP Tower Tournament designed by Paradoxx and feat. prizes from Misfit Pixels, the lag between the latest market cycle focused on coin-focused investing and cryptoart collecting. While the latter may feel more muted, some major lightning strike moments have occurred recently that have seen high value acquisitions that only help illuminate artists and collections also on the market.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle take it back to the summer of 2020 when the late great Alotta Money became the very first sponsor of the WIP. Rizzle talked about the footage Paradoxx captured live during that WIP and the response it elicited when Rizzle re-shared on Twitter a few days ago.
That led to a deeper reflection on how everyone who has been minting, collecting, and building on the blockchain up until this point can better preserve and re-tell all of those tokenized stories that exist across the crypto space.
Towards that end, more consciously minting ephemera published around tokenized objects onchain (e.g. just like we've been doing by minting this very episode onchain on CollectPods HERE) is one major way we can help weave individual threads of history into more complete historical tapestries.
