The Matthew and Rizzle Show Matthew & Rizzle

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle talk about the Grifter Squaddies drop on vipe.io brought to the metaverse by the legendary Toxsam. Fun fact: Matthew, Rizzle, and NonFunGerbil Luke all got a similar (but actually rather rare) Grifter Squaddie.

After red-pilling Rizzle into scooping his squaddie, the conversation shifted to talking about a Brookhawk-inspired topic: Interface. The app that launched in 2023 is still around and pushing out updates, but many other projects have largely incorporated it's main functionality of following other wallets and tracking onchain transaction history as a feature.

That led into a reflection on Cent, being too early when building something net-new in a burgeoning sector, the hair width's difference between succeeding and failing, and how we are ALL hoping the purple app doesn't eff it up.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle kick things off talking about the background of the $SAFE airdrop and how folks can look into if they received an allocation (just check https://app.safe.global) before diving into a brand new experiment from the Cent team called Up.Army, or just Up for short.

After giving a so-so breakdown of what Up and bonding curves are, Matthew called an audible and brought Cameron, co-founder of Cent, to give a better overview of what Up is and how to think about it.

To round things out, Matthew & Rizzle give folks a quick preview of tomorrow's Cyberbrokers-themed WIP Meetup. Pro-tip: make sure you sign up to https://www.paradigmfound.com/ ahead of time.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle reflect on everything that happened outside and around (i.e. not at) the NFT NYC conference last week. The vibes were reminiscent of a 5 year class reunion. Everyone is in a better situation, successful, and still very much friends. For everyone that we met there, it was a pleasure, and everyone we missed, make sure you hit up Rizzlefest in the fall.

What. A. Tuesday. Sheesh.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle try to unpack all the big things that went down on Tuesday March 26th in Cryptoland starting with the sold out CENTS release over on sovrn.art. Matthew explains the nuance and artistic intent behind the project before touching on the $200k "Vampire Kiss" DRAKULA is currently carrying out by offering video content creators up to $1000 in $DEGEN a week to take their Tik-tok talents to the Farcaster protocol powered video sharing app.

Before getting to the third big news event of Tuesday, Rizzle jumps in to give an up date on Rizzlefest 2024 and sings Charl3s of Nifty Island's praises for absolutely crushing the WIP last week and previewing tomorrow's WIP featuring the spectacular Bay Backner who will be taking the WIP Fam into Decentraland to tour the MESH Fair Art Week build out.

On the way to wrapping up, Matthew gives a quick overview of the $62M Munchables hack that happened on the Blast shitchain before highlighting the badass SEAL 911 Team that appears to have swooped in to save the day, $62M, and somehow and extra $35M in the process.

This week on MARS, Matthew & Rizzle talk about working in web3 - some red flags, good signs, and other things to be on the look out for as you interview with various teams and projects in the space based on their decade plus experience working in crypto full-time.

That conversation (somehow) ends up becoming a vibe check on the overall state of the blockchain that examines the past week of memecoin shenanigans as well as million dollar mints by XCOPY x Neonglitch on Farcaster along with other artists mints from folks like Fabiano Speziari and neurocolor.
