Internet Explorers

In episode #51 of Internet Explorers, Jess and Nicholas dive into Moxie, a financial protocol on Farcaster that allows users to create fan tokens and earn rewards through engagement, with Moxie's founder, betashop.eth. They explore how Moxie is reshaping decentralized social economies and becoming one of the most used protocols on the Base blockchain.

The hosts also take a deep dive into Comm with Comm's founder, Ashoat. Comm is a privacy-first messaging app built to compete with giants like Discord and Telegram, offering a more secure, decentralized way for communities to connect with the unique ability to host your own keyservers - meaning only your community can read your data.

The discussion then shifts to WorldCoin’s rebrand and big event, where they break down the potential impact of biometric identity verification and its role in the future of decentralized finance. They also touch on the growing trend of AI Memecoins and what the recent a16z State of Crypto Report reveals about the current health and trajectory of the industry.

The episode wraps up with a fast-paced Lightning Round, covering the $DJT Token, the Praxis project, and why ZkTLS could be having its big breakthrough moment, merging web2 APIs with web3.
