1/ Update on @todaydotfun! Lessons from Wednesday’s launch and how we're iterating on the token + curation mechanism. It was a blast to put the experiment out in the wild and get some buzz around a token-powered social account that rewards creators. Some quick stats: - over 500 people claimed the airdrop - ~10k visitors to the site throughout day 1 - 8 rounds elected winners and distributed token rewards to ~100 people What went well: - the app and contracts worked as advertised! (pending some minor bugs) - dozens of submissions per round and hundreds of thousands of tokens voting for content - creators, curators, and voters earned fresh tokens each round What needs work: - slop! — as the rounds progressed, the majority of submissions turned into slop that shilled tokens, self-promoted low quality posts, or shared low effort AI art

Excited to see folks playing with @todaydotfun! I'll be sharing some thoughts and casting throughout the day about observations and improvements we're making. Overall, super cool to see users claiming their airdrop and participating in submitting and voting! Here are some improvements we're making RN: - preventing self-voting—a lot of users are submitting "test" content and then voting it to the top, clogging up the leaderboard, going to prevent this. - exposing FC usernames— today was initially conceived as an anon-adjacent experiment, but based on feedback exposing usernames will add another stamp of quality What are your thoughts so far and what do you want to see improve? Thanks for playing! 💣
