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
