Hey all. We are shutting down the company behind DNS.xyz. We had a good run. Founded in 2020! We started with an AI to automate email, then build the first social profiles for DIDs, then an NFT platform, then a music platform. And a bunch of cutting edge tools.

End of an era. I appreciate everyone who spent time with us and tried what we built. We really poured our hearts into it for six years.

Fun times

Let's take a craftsmanship lens on those 9 games: 1) Breath of the Wild: It knows exactly what it is - recreating the feeling of the original Zelda: adventuring in the woods as a kid. Be a hero. Fight monsters, solve puzzles, explore, cut a tree, climb that mountain. At every beat, there will be something there waiting to delight you.

I think one aspect of AI that resonates with people is how it gives them hope. You can code, design, build a business. Now the onus is on you. It’s very liberating. People feel like they can be lifted. That kind of empowerment is very important when crafting a product.

With the Internet becoming more and more “by AI, for agents”, there is a real possibility that the current web, made of human content and pages, is on its way out. Much like Geocities, or how older consoles are completely backed up and archived (you can download the whole set in a few gigabytes and run it on your computer). It’s quite possible that in 20 years, the human made, public elements of the web are just another platform that is backed up and an interesting moment, before everything became dynamic and generative.

Most people think AI can vibe-code commerce: make a page, throw in Stripe, ship it. Commerce is not a payment button. It is: Fulfillment. Tracking. Email. Contacts. Comments, ratings. Inventory. Access. Support. Trust. The hard part isn’t code. It is making a coherent system.

Our founder is visiting Paris. Do we know any respectable VCs and AI startups?

Our team is adapting what we learned over the years to AI. Watch @PageDotApp for updates soon.

We are now DNS Media. Watch this space.

We shut down the NFT platform. We will open our dev studio at DNS.media

Almost there

Funny how a year ago we were working on supporting Farcaster frames. It seemed promising

Best thing to happen to NFT games is a lot of people who worked on them are out of jobs
