Hi, I'm Andrew. After spending the first decade of my adult life as a music entrepreneur, and then stumbling into a blockchain obsession in 2017, I am now a technical writer and product owner with a commitment to facilitating builders and realizing the potential of decentralized money and power. My vision for the future is that all industries will encapsulate the business logic and value streams of their respective products into automated contracts that adequately reward each participant based on the value they create. These contracts are published open-source, and anybody who thinks value should be rewarded differently can publish their own version and compete in the marketplace based on the results of their theory of value and the behavior it incentivizes. Decentralized organizations will compete on which supply chain participants are most rewarded, what governance structure the organization uses, whether to offer voting rights for tokenized customer rewards, and so much more. It all stems from the central theme of blockchain: Money is power. We can now create our own money. We can now create our own power. We must use it wisely.
Use subgraphs, Substreams, and APIs from Pinax. Blockchain technology holds promise as a neutral layer of the internet. Web3 is a place where code establishes trust without intermediaries. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others have delivered on a piece of this promise. Blockchains store data immutably across countless decentralized nodes. However, direct access to this blockchain data can be complex and resource-intensive….
