After Consensus in Austin last week one thing is clear: the world needs fewer crypto/web3 conferences and more crypto/web3 people attending other industry conferences.
we're breathing our own exhaust if we aren't using web3 to solve real problems in existing markets.

Met a ton of people in Denver today who are connected to

Now that we're opening up dev tools many of them are kicking the tires and starting to build apps on the network.

There's a funny moment that happens over and over with many crypto VCs I've talked with:
When they realize the success of

It's a great filter

"Data Isn't Oil - data is Sand"
Can't build much with a few grains, but get enough of it and mix in the right ingredients and you've got a building block for some useful infrastructure.
DIMO has great ground truth data on charging networks. We see how fast they're putting electrons into batteries - here's the average KM added per minute at every charger in NA over the past month.

This is why we’re building DIMO. Small apps for cars & other IoT devices can actually be quite big businesses due to the size of the insurance, finance, maintenance, and used car markets.
Small Apps that recognize their fleeting nature can team up with protocols that are built to last to build something bigger and more durable collectively.
