China’s lockdown censorship inspired Ethereum ‘based rollup’ Taiko

Taiko Labs co-founder Daniel Wang first wanted to make an “unstoppable” social network and found his way to an Ethereum “based rollup” in the process.

Creators’ IP rights must be protected in the age of AI — Tracverse founder

Traverse founder Amos Thomas believes stories are the foundation of everything, and that humanity must do everything in its power to protect them.

Human stories and knowledge are the lifeblood of civilization and must protected at all costs in the age of artificial intelligence, according to Tracverse founder Amos Thomas.
