He is the CTO at crypto game studio Blockade Games, developers of Neon District, and principal developer on Josie Bellini's CyberBrokers, a massively on-chain SVG NFT collection that has been in the works for over two years.

Ben is a Solidity developer who has been building crypto puzzles and games for several years. My guest today is Ben Heidorn, better known as on Twitter. It was great getting to know Treppers better. Genesis Loot is one of the coolest onchain composable games, where NFT trading, cross-contract composability, and lorebuiling are the game. By coincidence, Treppers and I spoke while he attended a Divine DAO builders meetup, and I can't think of a better example of the collaborative energy surrounding Treppers work and the Lootverse that he's so deeply involved in. I had a wonderful time chatting with Treppers about his approach and the lessons he's learned along the way. Finally we discuss bottle.to, an onchain SVG NFT messaging dapp that emerged to fill a need amongst Genesis Mana traders seeking to communicate with anon Loot and Mana holders on Ethereum. We chat about two lesser known Genseis Loot contracts, Loot Classification, and Loot Stats, which are onchain utilities that expose data from the original Loot contract that was previously unavailable for composition. We also discuss Adventure Time (or $ATIME), the Genesis Loot ERC-20 token, and its present utility. We discuss Genesis Mana and Genesis Adventurers, which were Treppers' very first Solidity contracts deployed to mainnet, and how each of these made reference to and expanded upon the data in the original Loot contract. Treppers then walks me through the many contracts that make up the Genesis Loot ecosystem. In today's episode we discuss Treppers background in startups, and how he fell down the crypto rabbit hole.įirst, Treppers and I discuss the core mechanisms in Dom Hoffman's Loot (for Adventurers) contract, and how onchain composability enables permissionless collaboration on the blockchain. My guest today is Treppers, developer of the Genesis Loot contracts, Genesis Mana and Genesis Adventurers.

In this episode, we discuss Will's background researching mesh networks prior to getting involved in crypto, and how he came to learn about community management through a side project running Minecraft game servers.īitcoin White Paper and Ethereum Yellow Paperĭata Separation vs Delegate Call upgradeability (Trail of Bits)ĮRC721ATM.sol by disposable cross-chain governance tokens Will is a Solidity developer, co-founder of Syndicate, a platform for creating crypto investment clubs, and the creator of Adventure Gold, better known as $AGLD. This conversation was an inspiring reminder that blockchains give superpowers to optimistic devs willing to make new discoveries through playful experimentation. I had a great time chatting with Will as always. Will explains the lessons he and his team have learned about smart contract upgradeability patterns, and what makes managing solidity engineering teams different from their Web2 equivalents. We also discuss Will's main project, Syndicate, the crypto investment club tech that's already been used to launch thousands of daos since it launched only a few months ago. We discuss his aspirations for the project, the mechanisms he included in the code, and what he might do differently with what he's learned since then. We dive into the Adventure Gold contract, and Will shares the story of writing $AGLD in four hours while stuck at an airport.
