We are incredibly proud to introduce THE INDEX, a new independent publication covering technology, culture, new media, and everything in between.
Visit: theindex.site/
The Index is for stories we think deserve to exist and we’re bringing together journalists, experts, and contributors with distinct points of view to tell them.
Our first four stories are:
PROFILE: “@azeemk: Crypto’s Renaissance Man Can’t Stop the Hustle” by Jeff Benson
TECHNOLOGY: “‘They Don’t Want Our Loser Dollars’: Why OpenAI’s New Model Has Companion Users at the Breaking(-Up) Point” by @Ryan_S_Gladwin
CULTURE: “OpenAI Sold Infrastructure Like a Lifestyle Brand. It Backfired.” By @AmandaSWriter
OPINION: “Ethereum Is Better Off With a Smaller Foundation” by Jeffrey Albus
And we’re just getting started.
We’re always looking for new voices and would love to grow our Opinion section with perspectives from people across emerging tech, AI, crypto, and beyond. If you have something to say, we want to hear it.
Reach us at [email protected]
Our first issue is better than we could ever imagined, and are so grateful to everyone who trusted us enough to be part of it.
The media landscape is changing. Instead of being discouraged by that, we think it makes this an incredibly exciting time to experiment, collaborate, and build new things.
So that’s what we’re doing.
Welcome to The Index!

Cork has raised $5.5M to build the missing tokenized risk infrastructure for digital assets.
Led by @RoadCapMgmt and @a16zcrypto CSX, Cork has raised from investors who recognize the market opportunity of introducing tokenized risk into the digital asset ecosystem.
In the AI era, product advantage lasts months, not years.
Distribution advantage through ecosystems is one of the few durable moats left.
After deploying $70M across 250 startups, I've seen companies grow 10x faster with ecosystem strategy than single sales channels.
The pattern: 👇

the first killer app of web3 was speculation.

If you've used CoApp to start your portable profile for @base and @farcaster_xyz, yes you can have another.
Now our A.I. agent Shaazam420 will re-scan your profile on a weekly cadence, so you can get more vibes just by returning to the app.

It's great seeing more reputation-based primitives going live onchain. 💪
Big congrats to our friends at @coordinape & @the_CoDAO!
Coordinape and CoDAO are excited to introduce $CO

These wallets are shaping how we see talent onchain.
Here are the Top Social Oracle contributors as we end our first week ✍️
Want to write to the Oracle? You’ll need $CO.

codao.fun #5 in the top Mini Apps on @farcaster_xyz
❤️🔥 Thank you to everyone who has installed CoApp. If you haven't yet, visit codao.fun and start sending and giving onchain reputation.

1,000+ GIVE have been sent via CoApp since the DAO launch yesterday.
And, the mini app's accidentally (and irrevocably) named "Shazaam420" AI agent has created no fewer than 300 unique tags for people on @farcaster_xyz ... sometimes they are very unique.
We're off to the onchain reputation races fam.

My contrary opinion: Sports betting doesn’t have to be lonely and sad. It can be social and fun.
@BrackyHQ will go massively mainstream in the next year.
Just give believers a "Buy Now button".
I’ve changed how I think about tokens. ( I think? )
TL;DR: Buying > Getting.
If you want true alignment, let your earliest supporters buy your token early (low valuation) and take them on a wealth-generation journey with you.
Airdrops and token incentives change the social contract. They're costly and tough to measure the impact of, and often reward those offering the least value and the most desire to sell (sorry airdrop hunters).
I still dream of an elegant way to perfectly match contribution to rewards, but I’m not convinced it’s possible.
Just give believers a "Buy Now button".
Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

Several years worth of expertise are going into CoDAO and Coordinape's full launch of $CO and CoApp - the Social Oracle finally has its utility token, and the largest EAS attestation hub on @base next to Base themselves is now writable. Not only that, but the Based Creators Directory runs on Coordinape Stack, so we're going to see the Recommendations and Skills used on Creator Profiles become more accessible now thru ownership of the open reputation graph.
The permissionless human-to-human reputation and trust signals earned thru CoApp will serve to qualify creators and builders on @base for new and exciting decentralized coordination and collaboration opportunities! This is how we lead innovation in the space as Base Ecosystem, by investing in the future of human coordination, and maximizing what's possible when a group of people come together to achieve great things online and onchain.
Congrats @Zemm_NFT @defiginger & the rest of my CO brothers and sisters. A New Day One for onchain coordination is here! Absolutely thrilled to see this launch and support with @BasedCreators @TheCreatorsCom (check that sleek launch animation!)

Hey @bankrbot please use my ETH buy me $6.9 worth of $CO on @base to commemorate Coordinape and CoDAO taking this big step forward today.

Replying to @coordinape
CoDAO voted earlier this year to make $CO a transferable token, as a first step toward decentralization.
Now it has been bridged and made available on DEXs and wallets so everyone can use it.
