Impact

how would we know if we have an effective way to reward quality content (and not just engagement) on Farcaster?

Turning likes into money since April 2025 | Created by @kompreni & @niftytime.eth | Mini app: tipnearn.com | PFP by @ekaitza

how do @noiceapp and @tipn align tipping & value creation?

(that those who contribute the most to Farcaster have more tips flowing to them)

curious what percent of mini apps are open sourced

trying to confirm a thesis..

what is crypto's greatest point of leverage?

(something that, if it were built, would make the most impact in the world)

I disagree w the premise that "content is valueless"

that may be true in web2, bc centralization prevents credible value consensus, but it doesn't have to be the case in web3

we just need to develop better value capture models, instead of relying on web3 models (ie Attention Economy) 

this can actually be our value proposition - in web2 your content has no value beyond how many eyeballs.. get to see the ad next to your content

in web3 your contribution is valued based on its impact on the community/network

what's the first thing  you think about when you hear the word "content"?

shitposting? memes? slop?

the thing is that "content" is also scientific research. it's also journalism, and books

these things are not "valueless"

they just lost a lot of their value in the Attention Economy, where the key to monetization is attention creation - not value creation

this is what web3 can change

(and it won't come from attention-based mechanisms)

the Farcaster UI isn't great for calibrated tipping (but it could be)

Published an absolute banger of a post today 🔥

It's my most comprehensive retrospective in some time focusing on @base and their history of grants and incentives programs.

I'm biased but I think it's worth the read 

https://sovereignsignal.substack.com/p/based-grants

"Ecosystems with slow, formal grant processes risk losing builders to those offering more responsive support."

lesson in there..

testing something..

when you hear "value capture for public goods"

what (if anything) does this mean to you?

I have a friend who runs an animal shelter in Varna, Bulgaria. Today, I want to reach out to - the web3, Farcaster - to share their story and ask for your support.

They’re facing a truly difficult situation: the shelter is down to just 40 Bulgarian leva - that’s less than $20. With so many animals depending on them every day, this is a heartbreaking and urgent moment.

If there’s any way you can help - by donating, spreading the word, or simply showing solidarity - it would mean the world to them, and to me.

Thank you for taking the time to care. 

their website in English if anyone is interested and their Facebook group in Bulgarian.

Farcaster

You build. You ship. You grind.
Yet you're still stuck chasing likes, fleeting trends, and short-term hype.

This isn't what decentralized creation was supposed to feel like.

There’s a better way.
One where 
“impact = real value = real profit”

Let me show you how 🧵👇🏽

overwhelming feedback from new users is that the content on farcaster is often too farcaster-centric.

sharing a few topics i would love to read more on farcaster (and please lmk if any of these are in your wheelhouse bc i would love to help amplify!):

1. popular culture! trend analyses and insights on culture (and not crypto culture). tell us what do gen z and gen alpha (and sure, millennial) consumers care about. i know "men in tech" may not care about this, but plenty of women *do* and there's a lot of us here!

2. start ups! tell us which startups are hitting milestones, getting funding, growing exponentially — and tell us whether you think they are worthwhile businesses or not.

3. data-centric information about technology, the economy, psychology, and everyday life. i love seeing data visualizations behind things that we know and love.

4. more SCIENCE! tell us how pigs could solve the organ donor crisis or why sunshine is good for the immune system. anything!

what do you want to read more of here?

I had an idea once of building an FC client for normies that initially filters out all crypto references for new users but over time the user sees more crypto stuff. 

at the end of the day people are gonna cast whatever they care about (..& what the incentives are)
