why are there mini apps on the top ten trending list that I’ve never seen a single person talk about using? which metric are they optimizing for and how? 🤔

Ah ok, I figured that was one but wasn’t sure if there were multiple factors. Might be worth considering since tx volume seems maybe easier to prop up than other factors.

yeah, I'm sure we will evolve the algo as with all rewards. we incentivized txs and we got 'em!

The aggregate dollar value was added to give a boost to apps that had larger value transactions, but were not as frequently used. We wanted to make sure that all kinds of apps were being rewarded for building on Farcaster!

Morpho is a good example of an app that would score higher in this new system.

...in fact we reweighted recently to count aggregate dollar value instead of raw tx count, but some of the top apps have a ton of volume. The "lil chogstars" mint had 4.5 million mints on Monad. Warpslot puts up insane numbers every day with very small txs.

Oh Warplsot very deserving of its slot (heh), that one didn’t seem out of place at all. Could just be that other apps are being used in circles I don’t frequent also. But either way it could definitely be interesting to incorporate other factors into the ranking algorithm in future, or even have different types of trending lists for users to toggle and browse, discovery being the biggest blocker for new mini apps.
