The Internet Computer Protocol is not another L1. When I realised this, I thought it was important to share more. I create "cheatsheets" for protocols I learn about. It helps me consolidate what I learn, and form my opinions. Here it is for @dfinity . #ICP (+ 🧵)

1/ The Internet Computer (IC) aims to create a new paradigm for the web: to enable our web systems and services to run entirely on-chain and using smart contracts, to make it more secure and decentralised, without compromising speed, execution, or cost. how?

Reading this tweet prompted the Q: is this thesis really conducive to what we really want to achieve? Putting token monetisation (or incentives) before value delivery does not seem favourable on the LT - neither for the creator, the audience, or the market. Thoughts💭:

Just as web3 networks can leverage tokens to bootstrap growth and overcome the cold start problem, a new playbook is arising for web3 creators to leverage tokens to bootstrap audiences in advance of actual content creation.

(3) Tokenisation can enable new expressions of value by providing us with a vehicle to represent it, and a way to interact with it through smart contract code. examples: 👇

(6) Tokenisation makes it possible to exchange different forms of value with one another based on personal relative valuation - bypassing an intermediary medium of exchange. A technological barter renaissance.

Everything that needs to be created needs to be designed: organisations, products, processes, materials, interactions.. Good thread by @felixleezd on design principles that can be applied to more than just UX.

feature disclosure in product should be algorithmic and dynamic: UI/UX that adds and removes features based on user proficiency, behaviour, and intent detection. the default version can be determined by the weighted average based on user value.

@gabrielanderso Have you ever seen a case study in your accelerator or other where a team that started with design or tech worked out?

the problem: streamlined UI kits and design systems displacing first principles. the result: new products and technologies built on old (and incompatible) interface paradigms. the consequence: undermining innovation's potential, use, and adoption.

Great UX and design seems like a bit of a lost art in 2024 for new builders and founders. What can we do to fix this?

@naval Disagree - We remain primarily visual beings. AI has the potential to express itself visually as much as other modalities. One button can encapsulate multiple sentences. A well-designed visual interface remains the most efficient way to communicate and interact with software.

@levelsio That’s because AI is not the product. It’s the tech stack. And people buy products. We conflate the 2. (Unless you’re building foundation models)

Such a cool example of how good UI/UX can make powerful technology invisible, and (more importantly) useful. Congrats to @lassogg for bridging real-world language to democratise understanding and access to on-chain data. (a step closer to crossing the chasm!🏃‍♂️)

A missing piece to crypto adoption is a culture of ownership. Not ownership in the sense of asset or value ownership, but of radical personal responsibility. There is an unspoken discomfort and reluctance to transition from a culture of blame to systems of direct attribution. 1/

developers pay for process. users pay for outcomes. developers want custom. users want defaults. developers go for utility. users go for emotion. developers like complexity. users like simplicity. tldr: if you are a developer who wants users, don't build for yourself.

(2) Tokenisation enables value to be recorded, transacted, programmed, and verified on-chain. What we value encompasses more than productive or tangible assets and mediums of exchange. What we value can be intangible: our relationships, reputation, knowledge, etc.

@scottbelsky Yes - which also puts apps that require active engagement at a disadvantage vs passive. e.g. amo is super creative, but requires spending time without getting any outcome from it - vs twitter where you can get value from the content you read. probably need to think more about
