Without decentralized infrastructure, agentic gameplay risks becoming a centralized walled garden where progress is temporary, creations are locked in, and experience is limited.  Read more

Not headlines. Just clarity. Butchers journey didnt start in the meme coin trenches. It began in the agencies of London and New York where he cut his teeth as a commercial designer.  I bounced around the agency scene for about 10 years. I basically worked in every commercial application of design you can think of, Butcher says.  Read more
