PANews reported on January 26 that ai16z founder Shaw wrote that he hopes tokens will enter an era of funding real scientific and technological projects, allowing ordinary people to invest in the next Uber or OpenAI and get returns through smart contracts, rather than just being limited to hype or meme projects.

He stressed that high-value return companies should not be exclusive to a few, and everyone should have the opportunity to support aspiring founders and reap life-changing returns.
