16/ KV: What led you to build @LightyearBuild?
M: @LightyearBuild is building on a simple observation: unique assets - whether digital art, collectibles, or tokenized real-world items - don’t have the pricing infrastructure that fungible markets take for granted. If you’re trading ETH, there are a hundred places to get a reliable price. If you’re trading a Punk or a tokenized graded card, you’re mostly guessing. This will be even more important in the coming years as activity shifts further towards the agentic economy.
We’re building that missing layer, starting with digital assets because the data is on-chain, permissionless and we have a lot of proprietary data to apply on top. Punks Terminal is our first product, built on top of existing CryptoPunks infrastructure, with an API for agents coming next. The same engine that prices an NFT can price any asset.
