Behind the Mic
We’ll get into some real talk here, Wab. Why are you here? I guess that’s a good question. The way I see it, it’s a changing space, right? I feel like the NFT sort of scene, what I was compelled by initially was this idea of a new internet. I feel like many of the founding pillars laid as to the direction it’s headed, we’re in a transition. It’s exciting yet perilous, right? There’s so much to navigate, and so many new angles to look at things from. Do you see IP as a big part of the future? Absolutely. I think it’s already shown to be critical in defining how projects want to present themselves. Look at things like what Disney’s done or any major IP holder, Marvel, etc. These are blueprints now for how people within NFT communities can channel something that feels bigger than just speculation and market pumps. It’s storytelling, it’s value accrual through narrative and shared vision. How do you balance community with IP control? That’s the thousand-dollar question, right? Balancing demands of community ownership with a coherent, guiding vision. I think it’s about tapping into people’s talent pools, letting them participate in ways that feel genuine, but also understanding there needs to be a north star for the project. Leaving space for organic micro-communities to form under a bigger umbrella, guiding them but also learning from them. Speaking of evolution, where do you see the tools or, more importantly, collectors or creators using these tools? How do you see this evolving? Yeah, that’s a good question too. Tools are only as valuable as the people using them and the culture around their use. Over time, I see enhanced interoperability between platforms and just more polished, user-friendly interfaces. More dynamic, adaptable use-cases, allowing creators to tell intricate stories and build value within their ecosystems, and those stories becoming more interconnected as part of larger narratives. What do you think is missing right now? I definitely think it’s infrastructure. Simplifying user experiences while retaining the power of what blockchains enable. We’re at a point where most things are still pretty technical, and it’s intimidating for many. Real mainstream adoption will come when we flatten the learning curve, making it second nature for people to engage. How do you ensure the long-term sustainability of these projects? Creating value beyond just the token price is where it starts. Fostering community-driven growth, making sure the roadmap is solid, and leaning into the creative wins. Also, keeping communication transparent, sometimes over-delivering on promises helps build trust sustainably. And how do you see the capital flowing in the next few cycles? It’ll be about consolidating knowledgeable investors who understand the potential beyond surface-level trends. I think we’ll see funding mechanisms evolve, with more inventive structures for seed rounds and subsequent raises that align investor interests with community values. What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned so far? That patience and pragmatism win over hype. Short-term excitement is great, but staying anchored to a clear, long-term vision will give you a solid foundation to weather volatility. It’s about being adaptive, listening to your community, and making informed pivots when necessary. Yeah, I think there’s a lot of substance in what you’ve been building so far. I just want to say thank you for sharing so openly. I think it’s super valuable for everyone listening. Thank you. I appreciate it. I think we’ve covered some really interesting ground here, so I think we can probably wrap up. I just want to encourage everybody to follow Wab. If you’re not already doing that, follow Sappy. Just try and explore some of these different themes that we’ve talked about, some of the IP stuff, some of the gaming. They’re one of the teams that I admire most in the space. Lots cooking up over the next little while. And yeah, I also just want to extend a thank you to everyone for listening to another episode of Liquid Culture. Again, this is a production of the Seed Club media network. We have a little bit more information in this pinned tweet if you want to follow along for other episodes in the future. And yeah, thanks again so much, Wab. Appreciate you taking the time, man. Likewise. Thank you for having me up here as well. It’s good to chat. Awesome, guys. Well, take care and have a good rest of the week. Bye now.
