Episode Notes

"What were trying to do is complement that [proof of humanity] with proof of contribution. The way you prove your contribution to the collective knowledge commons is by getting attention from other people who have a higher reputation."

Koii is building out what they see as core infrastructure for the future of the attention economy. Al Morris, founder of Koii, shares his background exploring robotics and blockchain before finding Arweave and recognizing its massive potential. This interest has ultimately led to the building of several components of what Al and team call, "the web 3.0 attention economy".  A primary thesis for this vision is that creators deserve more equitable opportunities for the attention they generate. Current web2 companies exploit these creators for their own revenue and benefit, part of Koii's message is to do the opposite - enable creators to earn directly from the attention they create and generate from their work.
