Anyone as confused as me with what the commotion was about $fair?

it's late but I wrote a short article that unpacks the $fair launch and the presale controversy that followed. will post a thread tomorrow with a summary.

Skimming through the clanker post, I see a lot of the same initiative!

I checked out of clanking earlier this year so I have indeed wondered what's changed with them.

You're doing a great service, so much is changing here and it's hard to keep up with the details.

appreciate that, steve!

yeah, I couldn’t get a handle on everything between a million different quote casts and subcasts. too hard to follow, so I made this.

Great write up!

We could all benefit from more factual breakdowns like this whenever a breaking story comes up fragmented on the timeline.

Building /veil -- ZK Privacy Protocol for Base

I’m trying to make a habit of writing some shorter form stuff that isn’t hyper detailed and “perfect,” so tried to make this a minimum viable article haha. appreciate you reading!

Great summary. I like you just kept it to the point rather than picking sides. Collected.

Great write up thank you! Not having a way to directly lock up the tokens as part of the distribution also really muddied the waters. Can see the Basil pointed out that Sid opted out of the lock to tip out his allocation instead. I’d seen some links to X mentioning Azflin bullposting the token then dumping his clip (I still have yet to see the Basescan of a $80k clip)

That said I don’t suspect any foul play here, but a good opp to learn from the launch

this is just helpful information and insight, and also a great piece of farcaster lore.

this is why purple beats blue. any day. glad to be here.

will study $fair now bc i want exactly that: easy access w/o the need to be terminally online.
