some of the shit im reading on the TL today

Ethereum

You don’t get it. This isn’t just another upgrade.
The zk future we thought was 10+ years out?
It’s almost here.

Ethereum is becoming a zk-rollup... on Mainnet.
Soon your phone can be a node.

More scale. More decentralization. No compromises.

🤯 real-time proving is here 🤯

Mainnet EVM blocks proven in under 1 Ethereum slot (12s). Goosebumps.

Succinct proves every Ethereum L1 block:

→ 94% in &lt;12s
→ 99% in &lt;13s
→ 99.9% in &lt;12s, soon™

Yesterday RISC Zero unveiled a $120K home GPU cluster—proofs expected in

I am fearful that my subscription fees will go to support serial builders making vaporware and that it will incentivize people to make more low quality apps 

I am also fearful that as these funds continue to go towards these people, it will drive an even larger wedge between “builders” and everyone else on this app 

It’d be cool to be able to use your subscription fees to “sponsor” a channel or something and instead keeps your money strictly in that ecosystem 

For ex. What if we were able to say, okay, I’d like all my fees to go toward /replyguys, and every week they have their own leaderboard that pays out based strictly on who/how many are sponsoring

We’re planning to launch a new, optional “Pro” protocol subscription

1. At launch, subscribers will have a Pro badge on their profile

2. Subscription will be onchain and part of the protocol. 100% of the proceeds go to casters / developers in weekly rewards. This in addition to the existing $25K+ a week in rewards. 

3. Planning to add longer casts (10K characters) and up to 4 images per cast for pro subscribers (needs a protocol change). Additional features over time.

4. $120 a year / $10 a month 
Why are we doing this?

- The protocol needs to find long-term revenue source that can continue fund caster and developer rewards beyond any one company.  
- We originally thought storage fees could be that, but we’ve realized that storage fees should be essentialy free to help growth. 
- So we’re trying an opt-in pro subscription as another model

Why now?

- Figuring out a long-term revenue model that works will allow us to double down on investing in growth

Music

Had a convo with some friends this weekend and it got me thinking...

What are your all-time no-skips albums?

The ones you throw on and just let ride because every track hits.

ChatGPT and I like to shoot the shit about socialism. It’s kinda our thing

Clearly I’m not anybody’s favorite caster

Ethereum is the internets greatest settlement layer.

🚨 Big news!

We’ve been collaborating with the legendary Tanner Linsley and the TanStack team to build something new:

TanStack DB — a reactive, normalized, transactional state engine that extends TanStack Query.

The next upcoming airdrop offer to Farcaster users is @walletconnect! It will be 50k $WCT total to ~3.5k users (factoring in mix of # of onchain txns, mini app usage, and non-spam follower count)

The token is on OP mainnet. You can learn more about it directly here and can stake it for more rewards and participate in governance!

Super excited to welcome our new UI/UX designer tomorrow. He worked directly with Polish billionaire Maciej Kiciński (cofounder of CD Projekt, behind The Witcher) and was lead designer at XTB’s top crypto trading app. Rare talent. Now building with the Degen tribe. 🔥
