Bringing our conferences onchain OR From IRL vibes to Onchain love
Global coordination and open knowledge production are two of the most powerful characteristics of the crypto space.
Ethereum conferences, like ETHDenver, are the epitome of that. This is where you find the highest concentration of builders and visionaries; the highest ratio of signal to noise.
This melting pot of great ideas and knowledge is, for the moment, mainly accessible offchain. And for many people, that means it is simply inaccessible.
Our mission is to bring all of this non-financial information onchain. The knowledge we produce as a global community, the levels of engagement some ideas or people receive during a conference, the v✨i✨b✨e✨s, the connections made between people, the notes and memories created, and much more.
This app is only the start of that mission.
This is an experiment to capture the dynamic engagement ongoing at ETHDenver, beyond just social media likes and posts. Translating IRL vibes into onchain interactions and vice versa!
It is a way for people to show–onchain–how impactful they think a talk or person was at ETHDenver and beyond. The app allows people to find talks and speakers and share their Heartbit with them.
Heartbits are a provable, time-based representation (erc1155 token) of someone’s appreciation. If you loved Vitalik’s talk, you can show it to him by converting the time you spend on his profile into your own unique Heartbit.
By the end of ETHDenver we will have a mind-map-like graph showing how much each talk and speaker impacted people. How much people engaged with each other. How much love is shared at the conference and finally captured onchain.
The app was put together in 7 days of building.
This would have been impossible even a year ago at ETHDenver 2023. It shows how much progress has happened on Smart Accounts/AA (Safe, Pimlico), Scaling (Base, Gnosis), Native Distribution Channels (Farcaster, Lens), Content Addressing (IPFS, Arweave). The stack has matured, onboarding has never been easier, and the design space at our disposal is now limitless.
