Join Tommy Shaughnessy as he dives into the world of Dev.Fun with founders Devlord and Robi. Dev.Fun is revolutionizing app creation by enabling anyone — regardless of technical background — to build and launch applications using AI-powered vibe coding. Learn how the team is merging Web3, tokens, and consumer apps to create a decentralized ecosystem of user-generated tools, games, and communities. They cover technical architecture, distribution strategies, monetization paths, and why Solana is their chain of choice. Explore how Dev.Fun is pushing the boundaries of app creation, developer incentives, and decentralized attention markets — and why streaming, tokens, and memes might be the next big unlock.
