Context S4: The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Most Visited Museum in America Dives into NFTs

Blake speaks with The Metropolitan Museum of Art team who recently released Art Links, marking The Met’s first foray onto the blockchain. Art Links is a 12-week game that invites you to connect the dots between seeming disparate art works (whether centuries apart, completely different mediums, etc.) according to different themes, rewarding you in the form of NFT badges and IRL prizes. Blake has played religiously every week, and has learned a tonne! 3 of the project leads are here to talk about the game: Destinee Filmore, Assistant Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Met, Brett Renfer, The Met's Senior Project Manager for Emerging Technologies and Audrey Ou, co-founder and CEO of TRLab. They dive deep into the project, from how long it took to plan and launch, to the intended audience, to why they chose Base, to the art they included. Blake also couldn’t resist asking Destinee about if (and when) the Met will collect their first crypto art works. If you want to get a read on the traditional art world and how they are engaging with NFTs…you can’t really get bigger than this. The Met is the most visited museum in America, and one of the most important cultural institutions in the world.

GM Farcaster ep234 Wednesday April 9, 2025 with @dwr Dan Romero Farcaster cofounder  Thank you @dwr.eth Dan Romero for stopping by GM Farcaster to chat about the latest happenings in the Farcaster ecosystem. Always a great to have you on!  Thanks to our premier partners Octant – and be sure to check out Octant’s Degens & Dragons minting now! AND if you catch the mint during the live show, look for our sponsorship and mint for free!   From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster welcomes DWR for a power-packed update from his new call booth (decor TBD), as he walks through Farcaster’s Gen Z-coded Twitter strategy, SnapChain scaling goals, and the eternal struggle of explaining what a mini app actually is without sounding like you’ve lost your mind. Between Crypto: The Game flashbacks, mini app dev wishlists, and a deep dive into Snapchat scaling that somehow ends with Mike Tyson, it’s clear the only thing scaling faster than Farcaster is the meme-to-feature pipeline.  Full show notes available on YouTube.

"Take It To The BANKR" with TN100X & BANKR Founder 0xDeployer | ZEROPOD S2 E13

Welcome back, fearless Ethereum enjoyooors to another episode of ZEROPOD. And this episode is a special one because it is actually the very first podcast appearance by the elusive figure known only as 0xDeployer aka Big Daddy Ham, the creator of so many things but most recently the breakout success Bankr, an in-feed ai agent that can trade for you using natural language on X and Farcaster. Hosts Toady Hawk and JackWyldes dig in with Deployer to hear about his childhood, his crypto journey and the exhaustive lineage of all his projects leading up to Bankr, including The LP, TN100X, Hamchain and more. We learn that he taught himself to code from a book at Barnes & Noble, we hear about how he first bought Ethereum at $80 (and sold it at $90), and we get some exclusive alpha like the fact that he has a secret Bankr cofounder and fancies himself a glamper. All this and more, we hope you enjoy!
