@wennmachers· 8 days agoTime for a Margit update! Here is the news: I’m “graduating” from operating partner to partner emeritus @a16z. First, let me back up. It seems that I do things in decade and a half increments. I got to the US in 1991 (October 19 is like a sort of birthday. Ask any immigrant and they will know their US birthday!). There was a tech recession at the time. Also, no American resume. Nor academic credentials. But this is America! And it came through for me. I spent a few years trying to get a job. I got a temp job at a tech PR firm. Then I got my first real break. A huge thank you to @simonecoxe and @maureenblanc for giving me my first real job and a shot at an actual career. That was a job as Account Executive at Blanc & Otus. I worked there for 4+ years. Then the talented @carynm650 and I started The Outcast Agency, which turned out to be the very best tech comms firm in the world. We built Outcast into the most sought after firm for tech franchises for over a decade and a half. We sold it to Nextfifteen (thank you, @timdyson . So that house was built; it’s still around and has amazing clients. @bhorowitz and @pmarca came calling. Before they ever raised money. These guys were ballsy. It was the height of the financial crisis, there was zero liquidity. Ben and Marc wanted to raise $300m. Just the two of them. When probed on this, Marc just said, “Let’s assume success, shall we?” Despite the risk…. It was a chance to build the top brand in venture capital. Period. Mind you, back then no VC firm was doing any marketing at all. It was seen as almost unseemly! I love building so I took a chance. The founders made me - I think - the first VC firm CMO. Now every firm has one of those, and that’s a good thing. Over the last 15 fabulous years, we’ve done so many things: - We marketed ahead of any result. We had to. So we marketed people and their ideas. - We invented going direct, creating a powerful content operation that allows us to communicate on our terms. - We produced events where people tried to crash multiple times and had to be escorted out by security. - Literally so many firsts and big things, there are too many to list them all. Now we actually have results! And we’re still the most exciting brand. a16z is full of talented people giving their best, full of amazing portfolio companies, and a very large and powerful network that everyone in our orbit can plug into. I can’t possibly thank every single person in the firm here, so I will keep it to the founders for being committed to building the top brand, and to @garcegarce of course. She was my first hire - she also took a chance on me and our entire project. Finally, a heartfelt thanks to the indefatigable @Mili10 , who has made my life easier and more productive for a decade. My sincerest thanks. Many more of you deserve a thank you, I’ll ping you directly. What’s ahead? I will be an active advisor for the next 6 months. We all want to make sure the change is smooth, in particular for the folks in our network who have a long-standing relationship. After that, I will not be gone and dead, haha. While I’ll take a nice break, I’ll also be looking for what to build next. My number won’t change. So feel free to reach out if you need anything. The house is built. I will forever bleed a16z. Here’s to more building!

When our legal frameworks are designed to foster innovation and protect consumers, America leads, and the world benefits. Here’s more about CLARITY and why it matters.
@garrytan· 17 days agoRT @julesyoo: The Medicaid world needs @hifortunahealth more than ever: because of the relentless pace of federal and state Medicaid policy changes over the last few years, Medicaid eligibility is getting way more complex. A lot of the chatter has been focused on reduced eligibility, but there's an equally important challenge associated with those who are eligible but lose out on coverage because of administrative process complexity - in the U.S., losing health coverage can boil down to something as simple (and unfortunate) as missing a letter in the mail. Fortuna is fixing this. The company launched in the throes of redeterminations to make Medicaid eligibility determination and enrollment clear, navigable, and reliable. We couldn't be more excited to lead Fortuna's Series A (after also leading the Seed) and continue backing this incredible, run-through-walls team - @singareddynm, Cydney Kim, and @ben_wesner - as they build clearinghouse infrastructure and consumer co-pilots for Medicaid – and beyond.

@_vshapovalov· 24 days agoRT @TheDRC_: The industry has made it clear: effective blockchain policy must incentivize decentralization. DRC and 50 other leading stakeholders in the crypto industry just delivered a joint letter to @SpeakerJohnson, @RepJeffries, @LeaderJohnThune, and @SenSchumer in support of the CLARITY Act’s robust, control-based decentralization test for digital assets. This is the largest coalition of organizations in agreement on a particular test for decentralization. The CLARITY Act establishes a much-needed standard for evaluating when a digital asset has met a threshold to justify its transition from security to commodity — an essential step for effective market structure legislation. We look forward to engaging further to ensure that blockchain legislation supports decentralization, responsible innovation, and consumer protection to further establish U.S. leadership in blockchain technology.

With 1.2M+ users, 140k+ 3D maps, and 60M+ images, Over is building the world’s largest crowdsourced 3D map, a permissionless spatial layer powering: ↳ LGM Models ↳ Data Sales ↳ Robots that understand the 3D space ↳ Visual Positioning System (VPS) secured by Trusted Execution Environments ↳ XR content anchored to physical locations Through our Map2Earn™ program, Over turns anyone with a smartphone into a data contributor, crowdsourcing the real-world inputs that AI and embodied agents need to operate outside the lab. While decentralized compute democratizes training and inference, Over democratizes physical context, the map that intelligent agents and robots will use to move, localize, and interact. Over is the spatial infrastructure for Physical AI.
@TheDRC_· 24 days agoThe industry has made it clear: effective blockchain policy must incentivize decentralization. DRC and 50 other leading stakeholders in the crypto industry just delivered a joint letter to @SpeakerJohnson, @RepJeffries, @LeaderJohnThune, and @SenSchumer in support of the CLARITY Act’s robust, control-based decentralization test for digital assets. This is the largest coalition of organizations in agreement on a particular test for decentralization. The CLARITY Act establishes a much-needed standard for evaluating when a digital asset has met a threshold to justify its transition from security to commodity — an essential step for effective market structure legislation. We look forward to engaging further to ensure that blockchain legislation supports decentralization, responsible innovation, and consumer protection to further establish U.S. leadership in blockchain technology. Want to add your voice? DM us to join the coalition in support of decentralization.

@Dune· about 1 month agoRT @immrape: The Rise and Fall of SocialFi 1. The Boom Phase of SocialFi In 2023, SocialFi emerged as a breakout trend in crypto, promising to revolutionize how users interact and monetize social engagement. Unlike traditional platforms, SocialFi integrates financial mechanisms, allowing users to earn income through activities like posting, interacting, or building communities. Q3/2023 marked a surge in user growth, trading volume, and capital inflows. SocialFi attracted not only crypto natives but also Web2 users, thanks to its ability to turn passive consumers into value-generating content creators — such as selling posts as NFTs. However, this explosive growth quickly lost steam as platforms failed to innovate or retain users beyond the simple "earn token" loop. 2. Why SocialFi Failed? a, Farcaster: Lacks Content Appeal and Strategic Direction Backed by Vitalik Buterin, @farcaster_xyz maintained stable growth at ~500 new accounts per day, once even peaking at 15,000. However, daily revenue stayed low ($500–$2,000), and the platform struggled to retain users due to shallow content. Founder @danromero focused heavily on technical updates instead of creator value. His algorithm prioritized his own posts, sparking concerns that Farcaster was evolving into a tech-first network rather than a creative space. Moreover, its early access paywall and abrupt end to the points farming system alienated power users and eroded community trust. Despite potential for a token launch via the Base ecosystem and backing from top funds like Paradigm and a16z, Farcaster has yet to break out meaningfully. b, Lens Protocol: Sharp Decline and Unsustainable Strategy @LC once peaked with 37,071 new users in February 2024 — but now sees only 2 profiles created daily, signaling a massive drop. Lens profile NFTs fell from $200 to just $0.80, reflecting lost user confidence. The main issue: an unbalanced growth strategy. Lens overpromised on airdrops and expanded too quickly without building core product value. As a result, content remained shallow, and the platform stagnated in saturation mode, unable to maintain momentum. c, Friendtech: Unsustainable Speculative Model @friendtech initially exploded on Base with over 1M transactions, nearly 100K users, and 36,500 ETH (~$62.4M) in volume in just 10 days. But the key-price model relied heavily on speculative “buy-ins” from later users, with little linkage to actual content value. As KOLs failed to deliver engaging content, liquidity dried up and key prices crashed — collapsing the entire system. The dev team, overly confident, failed to innovate or ship meaningful updates. Even airdrops and a V2 launch couldn’t revive the platform. Eventually, they relinquished control of the smart contract, effectively abandoning the project. The downfall of prominent users like Machi Big Brother — whose holdings plummeted to $438K — illustrates the inherent fragility of the model. 3. Core Reasons Behind SocialFi's Collapse Competing with Web2 Giants SocialFi platforms struggled to attract and retain users due to complex UX and unfamiliar Web3 mechanics. A staggering 92% of users churned within 30 days. The steep learning curve — involving wallets, tokens, gas fees, and clunky interfaces — alienated mainstream Web2 users. Fragmented Interoperability Unlike Web2, where content can seamlessly flow across platforms (e.g., TikTok ↔ Instagram ↔ Facebook), SocialFi suffers from blockchain fragmentation. For example, posts from Warpcast (Farcaster) can’t be shared to Lens because they run on different chains. This lack of interoperability stifles user experience and limits virality — a crucial driver for social platforms. Focusing on Quantity Over Quality While airdrops and token incentives drew initial waves of users, these communities often lacked cohesion, creativity, and meaningful engagement. When financial rewards faded, users quickly left — exposing the brittle nature of the ecosystem and lack of long-term stickiness. Conclusion SocialFi faltered due to complex user onboarding, fragmented blockchain infrastructure, and strategies that prioritized user numbers over content quality. For the next wave of SocialFi to succeed, platforms must offer better UX, cross-chain interoperability, and community models rooted in real value — not just short-term financial rewards.

But don't know how the token and equity interact here -EIGEN: Don't know the exact price paid, but a16z is probably down on the $100m check it wrote in '24 -FTX: Raised $400m at $8bn in '23 and it went to zero, but already very well covered -OpenSea: Raised $300m at $13bn in '22 and did not launch a token, just went straight to zero basically -OP: Raised $65m at $3.2bn in '22 and then a16z bought $90m more in '24 which they are also underwater on but I don't know by how much -ZORA: Raised $50bn at $600m (or $1.2bn FDV?) in '22 and trades at $80m FDV. Biggest percentage loss that isn't a zero Hyperliquid

@BTW0205· about 2 months agoa16z 加注 $Eigen 是更宏大的愿景—— 从 Staking 协议 → 演化为 AI 时代的“可信云” 这背后是 EigenLayer 叙事的巨大升级： 再质押（Restaking）：是 Eigen 的原点，是为以太坊生态中提供安全与去中心化验证的机制； EigenCloud：是叙事进化的未来，把再质押的信任机制外溢给 AI 服务与链下计算，成为“链上可信执行”的基础设施。 把“AI 模型调用”与“验证机制”结合 —— 通过 AVS（主动验证服务）、ZK、加密经济，构建 链上可信执行与可验证调用。 一句话总结就是：原本是“保护以太坊的信任层”，现在要成为“整个去中心化服务生态的信任底座”。 那么问题来了和 @KuiGas 老师提出的问题一样—— 谁会是第一个部署可信 AI 应用的项目？ 谁会给已经是 $EIGEN 参与者、质押者的第一批大空投方？ 说实话，之前没卖，一直抱有较大期待，我还有一麻袋 $Eigen 这个周期苦恼不已！
@KuiGas· about 2 months agoa16 再次加注 $Eigen 7000万美金。 继去年 2 月份的 1 亿美金融资后，a16z 连续重注，押注的是一个更宏大的愿景： ✨EigenLayer 正式进化为 EigenCloud @eigenlayer 一个由 $EIGEN 保护、支持 AI 与可验证服务的“可验证云平台”， 主打口号：“云级能力 + 加密级信任” 重大变化：再质押变成作为底层信任机制，AI API 成为可验证资产， $EIGEN 叙事也从再质押代币升级跃迁为 AI Infra 的原生信任资产。 仔细看了官方文章，其主要是为了做 AI 与服务的以太坊信任层，让开发者部署可信应用如部署智能合约一样简单。 相比，当 EigenCloud 构建起可验证 AI 服务平台之后，我更关注的，是接下来的生态“空投机会” 谁会是第一个部署可信 AI 应用的项目？ 谁会给已经是 $EIGEN 参与者、质押者的第一批大空投方？ 有没有深入投研的老师聊聊
