Project Glitch

Greetings, glitches. This fine Friday let us tickle your neurons with tales of an AI genie, a singer flirting with “web3-native music,” and the next movement from the creators of Eve Online. And for our main course, might we suggest you get to know a new kind of DAO? This one comes with a side of cyborg. Please enjoy.

In this issue: Stuff that has us like 👀 Succinct’s zero-knowledge computing platform, explained ODDS/ENDS Like it or not, crypto just got more legitimate.

On the first year of Glitchmas, my true love sent to me: five on-chain playtests, four AI agents, three iris scanners, two network states, and a partridge in a Merkle tree! Merry Glitchmas! Thank you for joining us this year as we set off on our adventure into the rabbit hole of Glitchy new technologies, from zero-knowledge proofs to large language models. We hope you enjoy our year-in-review below.
