On September 4, 2025, I had the privilege of sharing a conversation with plor during Chones Party!
plor is Chones’ Technical Weaver and an expert in composability, like the Onchain Lego Master Builder. You can follow him on GitHub.
He shared about tinkering with distributed systems, new forms of collateral and agile kool-aid.
Here are some highlights!
03:20 Tinkering with operating systems
I’m always tinkering to figure out how stuff works and how to make stuff work together. plor
05:54 Different benefits of open source
Someone who’s running an open source project usually gets credibility from the community to do what they want with it, but if they make a mistake, then the community can fork it. plor

Crypto is one of the distributed systems, played out. plor

12:10 Gears of cloud systems
13:46 Blockchain vs cloud permissions
16:39 Peer to peer systems, smart contracts and DAOs
With DAOs, the theory can be tested by trying to govern some group and see where that fails, and different failure conditions. plor
20:11 Onchain credit and more forms of collateral
Make more types of collateral that people can borrow against. plor
23:00 Access to capital
Take pools of capital, or things that are unutilized resources, and give them to people with ideas who can execute on them to basically get profits, and then that helps the whole system. plor
24:37 Agile methodologies
Do more of what worked and less of what didn’t. plor
28:29 Don’t throw away the vision
