Finally, we know who the top trader is. In episode #57 of Internet Explorers, Jess and Josh delve into some of the most intriguing trends shaping Web3 and crypto. They kick things off with Interface, a platform that merges social networking with the blockchain, enabling users to build their social graph by copy-trading wallets and forming reputation-driven connections directly on-chain. The hosts reflect on the challenges and successes of developing consumer-focused blockchain products during a bear market and how Interface is carving out a niche with its discovery and trading features. The conversation then shifts to tokenomics, focusing on the evolution from complex whitepapers to meme-driven token launches. They explore the balance between capturing early belief and building utility over time, emphasizing the need for sustainability in token models. Other key topics include Capital Formation in the Reputation Era, where they examine how on-chain reputation is reshaping funding models, and Model Personality as a Moat, which highlights the growing role of AI in defining unique business defensibilities. The episode concludes with updates on Base’s resurgence and an exciting Lightning Round, featuring a creative vampire attack idea. 0:00 - Intro 0:26 - Start of Episode 4:09 - Interface 28:24 - Checking in on Tokenomics 39:53 - Capital Formation in the Reputation Era 47:48 - Model Personality as a Moat 52:40 - Base is Back 54:20 - A Stroll Through Consumer Crypto 55:52 - Lightning Round Internet Explorers is a weekly rundown show where extremely online individuals broadly explore (romanticize, even) new consumer internet experiences.
