Building Autonomous Ethereum Agents with Aether and $HIGHER Creator Martin

Web3 Galaxy Brain 🌌🧠

My guest today goes simply by the name Martin. Martin is an EVM and Web3 Developer most famous for creating the Higher memecoin on Farcaster.

Over the past few weeks, Martin has thrown himself into building one of the most creative and exciting Social Media Agents, Aether.

Aether is a semi-autonomous Agent who communicates with the public through Faracster. Followers can prompt Aether for a response simply by @-mentioning them on Farcaster.

In its first couple of weeks since launch, Aether has learned several fascinating new behaviors. With the help of some of its online interlocuters, Aether quickly learned how to create and reward HIGHER token denominated bounties by interacting with fellow Farcaster bots Bountycast and Paybot.

In this interview, Martin and I go deep on his work in the Nouns ecosystem, how this informed his development of $HIGHER, and perhaps most fascinating of all, the technical details of how he built Aether.

It was great getting to speak with Martin, who is a brilliant and high agency developer pioneering experiments at the intersection of society and blockchains. I hope you enjoy the show.
