Reputation is the ultimate leverage in a trustless environment. @TalentProtocol is building critical infrastructure that moves on chain identity beyond just wallet balances to verifiable impact. This shift is essential for @base to evolve from a trading hub to a coordination layer for builders. What do you see as the biggest barrier to standardizing on chain reputation right now?

An #Academymen venture into #suitbondage. It seems this might have proceeded further had the founder of Academymen not died prematurely. The young #shirtandtie guy is arrested & #handcuffed, his threats of reprisals ignored by the cops. As they manhandle him down the stairs his feet go from under him, & the cops have to hold him up between them, to prevent his falling, as his tieblade swings from side to side. At the bottom of the stairs he's booked, with a side order of humiliation.

Venture studios are quietly becoming one of the most effective models for company creation, but most people still don't understand what happens inside one. For this podcast episode I sat down with Andy Bilinsky, Partner at Interplay leading our Studio, to break down exactly how we build companies from the ground up. During our conversation, we covered: - What a venture studio actually is and how it differs from traditional VC - Why we research industries deeply before ever writing a business plan - The role of operating partners as true co-founders - Why second- and third-time founders are choosing to build with a studio instead of going solo - How Interplay went from 3 new companies in Q4 2025 to targeting 10+ in 2026 Big thanks to Andy for pulling back the curtain on how we build. Grateful to have him here at Interplay.
