34 Onchain Culture x Nouns Builder with ERC-6551 — Jayden Windle, Isaac, Neokry Jayden Windle is a developer from Future Primitive. Isaac is a product manager from Zora working on Nouns Builder. Neokry is a resident engineer from BuilderDAO and Nouns Builder. We join for a conversation about the new NFT standard ERC-6551 which Jayden is working on with Future Primitive, including our friend Benny Giang. Any NFT that has previously existed or will in the future has now become a wallet. NFTs can now hold other NFTs. It’s turtles all the way down. We talk about Nouns Builder and what’s happening in that ecosystem. The state of DAOs in 2023, opportunities we see going forward. Manifestations of onchain media. Collective creation as DAOs form around NFTs. Web3 social and how it relates onchain across ecosystems — with new possibilities for building communities and releasing creative works. How ideas like these and many others are forming a new lifestyle for the internet. As the town square we’ve had on twitter seems a little under siege, experiencing some tremors. As individuals break off to all corners of the internet. We can stay connected with our friends via onchain actions. listen — https://ufo.mirror.xyz/_FgEgWCk3AYP-cAGxVIZcBLZuMzheAJBz0e9q86lwqs sponsors — @lensprotocol @zerion @interfacelabs.lens
