Metaverse travelling with Trippyogi from MetaTravellers

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off talking about the background of the $SAFE airdrop and how folks can look into if they received an allocation (just check https://app.safe.global) before diving into a brand new experiment from the Cent team called Up.Army, or just Up for short. After giving a so-so breakdown of what Up and bonding curves are, Matthew called an audible and brought Cameron, co-founder of Cent, to give a better overview of what Up is and how to think about it. To round things out, Matthew & Rizzle give folks a quick preview of tomorrow's Cyberbrokers-themed WIP Meetup. Pro-tip: make sure you sign up to https://www.paradigmfound.com/ ahead of time.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle reflect on everything that happened outside and around (i.e. not at) the NFT NYC conference last week. The vibes were reminiscent of a 5 year class reunion. Everyone is in a better situation, successful, and still very much friends. For everyone that we met there, it was a pleasure, and everyone we missed, make sure you hit up Rizzlefest in the fall.

What. A. Tuesday. Sheesh. On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle try to unpack all the big things that went down on Tuesday March 26th in Cryptoland starting with the sold out CENTS release over on sovrn.art. Matthew explains the nuance and artistic intent behind the project before touching on the $200k "Vampire Kiss" DRAKULA is currently carrying out by offering video content creators up to $1000 in $DEGEN a week to take their Tik-tok talents to the Farcaster protocol powered video sharing app. Before getting to the third big news event of Tuesday, Rizzle jumps in to give an up date on Rizzlefest 2024 and sings Charl3s of Nifty Island's praises for absolutely crushing the WIP last week and previewing tomorrow's WIP featuring the spectacular Bay Backner who will be taking the WIP Fam into Decentraland to tour the MESH Fair Art Week build out. On the way to wrapping up, Matthew gives a quick overview of the $62M Munchables hack that happened on the Blast shitchain before highlighting the badass SEAL 911 Team that appears to have swooped in to save the day, $62M, and somehow and extra $35M in the process.

This week on MARS, Matthew & Rizzle talk about working in web3 - some red flags, good signs, and other things to be on the look out for as you interview with various teams and projects in the space based on their decade plus experience working in crypto full-time. That conversation (somehow) ends up becoming a vibe check on the overall state of the blockchain that examines the past week of memecoin shenanigans as well as million dollar mints by XCOPY x Neonglitch on Farcaster along with other artists mints from folks like Fabiano Speziari and neurocolor.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off with some WIP News (ty Drago for the new intro music). Big things coming for the WIP. After that, the conversation shifts to the latest meta in the crypto space: MEME COINS before wrapping up with a brief chat about the burgeoning communities building out in the EVM hinterlands of Base, Optimism and beyond aided by the amazing NFT focused guide by William Peaster for folks curious, but unsure where to start.

This week on MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kicked things of discussing the latest "Rizzle News." After that the conversation shifted to reflections on the last two weeks of minting the show on Pods.Media and how much more meaningful mints have felt compared to generic listens. Check out the Dune Dashboard for Pods to see all the onchain data for all the pods minted through it. Go mint this episode on Pods right HERE. Speaking of onchain, a large portion of the show focused on the "gentrification" and history of the term 'onchain' in addition to discussions covering last week's WIP featuring Elated Pixel, tomorrow's WIP featuring Stina Jones, Marble Cards and the WIP Tower Tournament designed by Paradoxx and feat. prizes from Misfit Pixels, the lag between the latest market cycle focused on coin-focused investing and cryptoart collecting. While the latter may feel more muted, some major lightning strike moments have occurred recently that have seen high value acquisitions that only help illuminate artists and collections also on the market.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle take it back to the summer of 2020 when the late great Alotta Money became the very first sponsor of the WIP. Rizzle talked about the footage Paradoxx captured live during that WIP and the response it elicited when Rizzle re-shared on Twitter a few days ago. That led to a deeper reflection on how everyone who has been minting, collecting, and building on the blockchain up until this point can better preserve and re-tell all of those tokenized stories that exist across the crypto space. Towards that end, more consciously minting ephemera published around tokenized objects onchain (e.g. just like we've been doing by minting this very episode onchain on CollectPods HERE) is one major way we can help weave individual threads of history into more complete historical tapestries.

This week's episode of The Matthew & Rizzle Show is onchain thanks to the strong team over at Collect Pod! If you're in crypto (and we know like 99% of you are) and are familiar with minting mirror articles, you will have no problem minting and collecting MARS episodes right [here]. Big shout out to Jess from Seed Club for the Twitter assist and 0x_Lucas for getting us setup. After breaking that update down, Matthew & Rizzle delve into the crypto social off-season that suddenly emerged on Farcaster following their viral boom, the emergence of afk'ing as a social ill on Nifty Island, and tomorrow WIP set to feature Russ Franky and their project Hubzz HQ.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off with an onchain history lesson courtesy of Psycho Killer's must-read thread breaking down a large array of the historic onchain pixel art minted between 2020-2021 over on Pixelchain, an early NFT Studio's project when they were still originally known for their first project, CryptoMotors. Check out the full thread here. After that, Matthew shills his extra dank cryptoGAN pfp gif by Pindar Van Arman over on his Farcaster profile [follow him HERE - and maybe give Rizzle a follow here, too] before him and Rizzle shower FC with flowers, try to summarize the ecosystem sprouting around the FC protocol using the super useful Farcosystem Map⁠ created by none other than Coopatroopah, and throw a strong dash of criticism at folks who may be over-exaggerating the benefits of Frames, at least in their current state. They wrap the show up with a preview of tomorrow's WIP set to feature the legendary artist A.L. Crego along with a Snail-designed Pirate Adventure.
