How we build it, written down.

Alex and Vincent, the founders, on the apps a decentralized, worldwide studio ships and how they work inside. Each article comes with a print, marbled on the same bath as the plate on our home page.

  1. No. 11Who can touch the potAlex wrote about how Solucky draws a winner. This is the other half: where the players’ money sits until then, who can move it, and who cannot.Vincent Porret4 min read
  2. No. 10A card hold for every promptIn X by Nexow, a widget costs credits, and nobody knows the bill until the model stops writing. So we borrowed from card payments: authorise before the call, capture after it, never more than was authorised.Vincent Porret4 min read
  3. No. 09A signature instead of a passwordBeenzer has no passwords. You sign in by signing a message in Phantom, and you pay for a mint with a transfer the server reads back from the chain before it mints anything. Here is what each check stops.Vincent Porret3 min read
  4. No. 08A microsecond is 200 metres of fibreBefore Nexow Studio, I co-founded Nexow Systems, a trading firm in Barcelona. What studying high- and ultra-high-frequency trading taught me about latency, and why its fast path is written in C and, now, in Rust.Alex Colls Outumuro6 min read
  5. No. 07The shape of a voiceKwami’s default body is a sphere pushed in and out by 3D noise. This is how the agent’s voice becomes that motion, from the bins of a Fourier transform to every vertex, on every frame.Alex Colls Outumuro6 min read
  6. No. 06A dice roll every validator agrees onSolucky draws one winning ticket a day on Solana, where every validator must compute the same answer. Here is where its chance comes from, when it is read, and who could still bend it.Alex Colls Outumuro6 min read
  7. No. 05A Bitcoin miner in a browser tabMini Miner hashes real Bitcoin block headers in WebAssembly. The part worth writing about is what the browser checks before it hashes anything.Alex Colls Outumuro3 min read
  8. No. 04Two phones, ninety secondsIn DNA Seed you swap your DNA in person. Here is how the app asks for a meeting rather than a link, and what it does and does not prove.Vincent Porret3 min read
  9. No. 03From a sentence to a live widgetIn X by Nexow you describe a widget in plain words. The model writes a small program, and the canvas runs it in a box it cannot climb out of.Alex Colls Outumuro3 min read
  10. No. 02Letting software hold moneyDarwin Agents earn, spend and reproduce on their own. Before any of that, we wrote down what they can never do, and made sure code, not a prompt, enforces it.Vincent Porret3 min read
  11. No. 01The ink on this siteThe plate on our home page is not a video. It is marbling maths: every drop moves every ring already on the bath, and no two rings ever cross.Alex Colls Outumuro3 min read
