We've shipped a bunch of fixes recently and wanted to drop an update on what we've been working on and what's coming next. Voting issues are fixed. Some users were hitting various wallet errors when trying to vote. We completely rebuilt critical parts of the external wallet flow to be even more reliable and secure. All votes currently running at a >99% success rate. Comments recently got a major upgrade with full threading, inline replies, and less limiting spam guards. Early data shows people are actually using it - engagement is up over 3x since we shipped it. The sponsored votes program has given out 15,000+ free votes over 4 weeks. They also come with exclusive badge NFTs that you're going to want to keep collecting. More on that later. Our AI agent is about to get so much better. We're hooking it up to some exclusive data feeds that's going to take the content quality to a new level. Understanding what groups of people are thinking is about to get way more sophisticated and there are going to be tons of interesting social dynamics to explore every single day. New web app dropping soon. Farcaster mini app is still our primary focus but we're expanding. The web experience will unlock a ton of new experimentation outside of Farcaster and into other ecosystems. What's next: Cross-platform expansion, exclusive data pipeline for much more interesting up-to-date content, and social gaming mechanics that'll turn reading crowd sentiment into something you actually want to explore with friends.

Some users are occasionally experiencing a sign in or load failed error when opening the @ponder app. This appears to be a connection issue with either farcaster or one of our providers. If you get this error, restart the app and it should work as normal

This week we made the requirements harder for sponsored votes, including a minimum of 1 paid vote in addition to the 5 weekly votes And it looks like we still blew through the limit in under two days... For users who have already claimed, you can still use sponsored votes on featured ponders this week. New users will be eligible to claim once again next week. https://farcaster.xyz/ponder/0x2c5ebcc5

In addition to the new format, we've also upgraded the artwork for the week 3 sponsored vote NFTs You can get your hands on both of these once you become eligible and redeem a sponsored vote (also h/t @miguelgarest.eth for the original designs we've been working off of, so fun seeing these in action)

Looks like we had an unplanned incident with one of our providers between 12:25pm-1pm causing some voting errors and ponders taking longer than expected to end / payout Everything is now stable once again, we're investigating on our end now to make sure all previous votes are processed correctly

Reminder: if you try to organize a bunch of voters to select the same option, our anti-collusion guard will detect it and you’ll just be adding more funds to winnings pool

Well it looks like we had more demand on sponsored votes than expected, we just blew through the allocated funds for these in under a day Some users have experienced voting errors in the past 2-3 hours when redeeming sponsored votes because of this, rest assured your votes are being accounted for Just topped it off with more funds and will add even more later to account for the traffic

Looks like we just had an oopsie where a bunch of users got falsely tagged by our new tagging notification No I did not tag you on a ponder (but that's our featured one so go vote while you're at it)

Go vote on our first ever $1k USDC gigapool It's about superpowers, clearly the most important thing we could've asked for such a large pool size (more prizes dropping throughout the week too!)
