Introducing Gas Pass
Gas Pass is a new reward primitive built on ERC-4337 & ERC-6551 that lets protocols and apps sponsor gas for selected users.
@LineaBuild
use Gas Pass to boost usage across dApps in the ecosystem.
When traditionally underrepresented groups choose to hide their identities, skewed perceptions of who's contributing to the space can be strengthened.
This is an issue rapidly unraveling in web3 communities.

Last week, we hosted our inaugural Onchain or Nowhere salon, in collaboration with friends at

Web3 UX is no longer about interfaces. Net new experiences will be unlocked by net new infrastructure.
In crypto, proposals can literally make and move markets.
Contributors create proposals to:
↳ elect new officials or make key hires
↳ update core parameters of a protocol
↳ make large fiscal allocations for new initiatives
and many more...

To attract workers who're departing from "meat"verse jobs, employers of the pluriverse need to provide not just stories, but also higher net economic opportunities to newcomers.

Imagine a world in which the power of narrative rests within the blockchain. All of your actions are recorded for posterity.
What new societal and individual behaviors might emerge?
Proposer now supports Advance Payment.
Pay a percentage of the funds upfront — then pay the rest when the work is done, in USDC, ETH, or any ERC-20.
As simple as that.
In the Fall, we’ll begin the ride.
Together we’ll explore protocols, NFTs, tokens, and foundational ideas of our decentralized future.
By the end, you’ll be ready to begin your life in Web3.

The viral emergence of DAOs signals a new genre of work.
But the crucial questions remain unanswered. How can we empower each other to work flexibly and autonomously, while fostering a sense of security, belonging, and identity?
The promise lies in self-governance.

Session II of our Onchain or Nowhere salon: Data Composability, in collaboration with friends at
@privy_io
and
@turnkeyhq
Crypto rails offer unprecedented access to cross-app, globally composable datasets.
How can anyone tap into a shared fabric without starting from scratch?
The conversation was initially done on a participatory document where friends visited our shared space.
You can participate in the original conversation here:
Armed with god-like technologies such as generative AI and crypto, our collective ability to create, interpret, and monetize information has increased by orders of magnitude.
Web3 has enabled us to reexamine the building blocks of an organization from the bottom-up, and to question the relationships between capital, contribution, and power.
Understanding these relationships will pave the path for a fundamental redesign of value distribution.
However, the gained productivity doesn’t always translate into the most aligned outcomes for creators, participants, and users of Internet products.
We are designing new value and social rails for the new networks forming at lightning speed.
We’re still early in exploring the use cases of GroupOS.
Beyond the immediate application for collective coordination and incentive distribution, we’re envisioning new forms of digital collectives to emerge.
After someone submits interest in an initiative, they enter the Waiting Room.
Contributors can influence decisions on who should get onboarded through endorsements.
🌐 CONTRIBUTOR IDENTITY NFT 🌐
Contributor Tickets represent contributor status in a community. Invited contributors can mint their own NFT with a pre-assigned role.

Put simply, TBAs allow you to have hyper-personalized/new "utilities" and interactions with dApps/platforms.
Your NFT won't be a static JPEG whose value is derived from speculation.
It will become more valuable depending on its stored assets and past interactions.

However DAOs in their current state, often don’t adopt blockchain tools other than the financial primitives, leaving them largely open to speculation and the corruption of bad actors, perhaps even similar to those we often see in the traditional corporation.
