I've been working on a protocol/idea with some friends for the last couple months that will be really interesting for "creative people."

Tomorrow I'm dropping a new product but this won't be that "big idea" rather an idea that came from time I've spent in "the trenches" since I've started working on that "big idea."

TBH I haven't been this inspired by something in a long time, all the crypto ideologues will tell you the trenches are the death of crypto and it's all extraction and brainlessness but they're wrong (obviously).

From my POV "the trenches" are a lot of people making very rational decisions about how they should spend their time and energy to create the best outcomes for themselves and their loved ones.

I also think they're underserved, lots of people building for Devs, Creators, Vibe Coders, whatever but not a ton of people building for someone trying to turn 20$ into 40$ to buy chipotle.

So we've spent some time sketching out some things that we think could help evolve the ecosystem based on some convos we've had.

We're gonna drop an ugly (but fun) very early version of something so we can build in public and be trencher focused while working on "big idea" in parallel.

If you're interested reply here and I'll DM you a sneak peak before we kick things off tomorrow!
