Data

Experimenting with token utility at @quotient - just accepted $CREDIT as payment for a sizable reputation data export.

The customer originally offered an NDA to assure me that they wouldn't resell the data, but I liked the feel of aligning incentives via token better.

The Graph had some success with this approach but their interface for purchasing API credits via token is a bit clunky.

Is there an existing solution where people can pay via an accepted crypto (i.e. ETH, USDC, DAI) and have their payment automatically buy the specified token?

I wonder if this is the first private data deal on Warpcast? I was the buyer btw.

I'm actually really excited to start analyzing and processing farcaster data, because there will be a lot of opportunities in marketing and products that can tap into the farcaster graph. We're already seeing mini apps grow, but at some point those apps will need better ways to target and acquire users.

The great part about this is the platform can't rug you, which is exactly what happened with Twitter and Facebook data. In 2015 those companies woke up and instantly turned off their APIs, and all the builders products went to zero overnight.

I'd rather work on this than on products in Facebook or any other big tech, because I can just build without being permissioned.

Defi. Ethereum. Physics.

Data at @quotient.

Also by private data deal on warpcast, I mean it in the most raw sense.

We communicated on warpcast, used the warpcast wallet, to buy warpcast data.

The warpcast economy.
