We dive into the Adventure Gold contract, and Will shares the story of writing $AGLD in four hours while stuck at an airport. We discuss his aspirations for the project, the mechanisms he included in the code, and what he might do differently with what he's learned since then.

We also discuss Will's main project, Syndicate, the crypto investment club tech that's already been used to launch thousands of daos since it launched only a few months ago. Will explains the lessons he and his team have learned about smart contract upgradeability patterns, and what makes managing solidity engineering teams different from their Web2 equivalents.

I had a great time chatting with Will as always. This conversation was an inspiring reminder that blockchains give superpowers to optimistic devs willing to make new discoveries through playful experimentation. I hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome to Solidity Galaxy Brain. My guest today is Will Papper. Will is a Solidity developer, co-founder of Syndicate, a platform for creating crypto investment clubs, and the creator of Adventure Gold, better known as $AGLD.

In this episode, we discuss Will's background researching mesh networks prior to getting involved in crypto, and how he came to learn about community management through a side project running Minecraft game servers.
