This miniapp is getting so close.

We're not perfectionists but the features we've decided to have ready for first launch have to be working really well

$PRO

First of many $ made from the new protocol

feedcoins.

wow, just read this whitepaper.

brought to my attention by @mjc716's bid on today's QR auction ofc.

disclaimer: i just bought a bunch of $PRO as the coin doesn't seem to have priced this paper in at all - not financial advice, dyor, etc.

while i won't recommend the token, i do recommend reading the paper

We were previously calling our new protocol and token model "content staking"

We made a few enhancements and $PRO staking is now wrapped into the larger protocol and is more powerful than before

Aiming to publish the litepaper today

Excited to publish our litepaper this week

have written a few of these threads but might f around and write a whitepaper for the PCP

it used to be that you needed a whitepaper for any onchain protocol. but then everyone stopped caring. and then people stopped writing them.

but now no one expects it so it may be intriguing

Spotlight

Why is everyone pissed about the feed? And what can we do about it?

🔔 🔔 🔔 🔔 😡 📝 👙 🍲 🔔 🔔 🔔 🔔  

A lot of people have been remarking recently that they’re not seeing the content they want to see on the home feed.

At the core of this issue is that Farcaster is experiencing a “thirst trap” meta. 

Said another way, there’s a lot more multimedia lifestyle content now.

As a share of total engagement, the old guard of nerdsniped text-based content is at an all time low. 

On top of this, Merkle may be intentionally boosting this kind of media content as a bridge to a forthcoming video pivot. 

Some of it is good content, some of it is superficial fluff. But overall it sometimes makes the feed harder to filter and parse. 

Before this shift, there was a feeling that you could open the feed and learn something from a curated network. 

Now the content feels scattered and fragmented in a way that can add mental overhead and detract from the experience.

Okay, time for the shill. 

We actually started working on the new @procoin release before people started hardcore hating on the feed. 

The core hypothesis of the new protocol and miniapp is that there is now quite a bit of really good content on Farcaster, spread across a wide variety of subjects. 

But there isn’t a great mechanism for people to discover it

The Procoin Curation Protocol (PCP) proposes a new primitive called “Feedcoins” that incentivizes curators to curate the best content around their theme of choice.

Enough creator tools! In light of recent feed changes  — and even before them — we are in desperate need of better curation.

We’re harnessing the speculative instinct of crypto to spark a curation renaissance.

I’m attaching two recent posts I’ve written about the PCP, but if you’re short on time, it’s Friendtech meets Tumblr.

We’ve already got a core community of early curators preparing their feeds in our groupchat for the upcoming launch. 

If you’re interested, reply here with the kind of subjects you like to curate around.

There are two kinds of people in this world

People who are starting to understand feedcoins and people who have not yet started their journey

The $PRO-volution will be tokenized

Launch approaching.

Sick of the content on the home feed?

We're cooking up a solution

First, the Procoin Curation Protocol (PCP) which rewards curators for their hard work

Alongside it, we'll be launching the Feeds miniapp, the interface for engaging with the PCP

This new launch will turn some heads

Our early batch of curators have started submitting the themes behind their feeds...

It's gonna be Curator Summer

What do you curate?

What subject or theme do you have a unique point of view on? 

What sort of content to do you discover and share?

ICYMI yesterday, we've been slowly putting out more info on our upcoming release

More details on the Procoin Curation Protocol here:

🚥  Let's talk about the Farcaster feed 🚥

It delivers highly relevant content to users. It does this job well.

However, it also narrows and flattens the experience.

It results in much highly relevant content *not* reaching users.

It makes valid assumptions about what you want to see and who you want to engage with and takes that to the extreme. 

With some exceptions, it progressively homogenizes your content consumption, unless you make specific efforts to break the pattern. 

It does this for a completely sensical reason. People are lazy and unwilling to put in serious work to curate their own experiences.

How do we break that mold?

Channels were an attempt at this. Segment content by subject or community and users have alternative feeds to consume.

One challenge with this approach is that people remain lazy. They just scroll the main feed anyway.

An additional challenge is that curation-by-commitee removes agency. If twenty people have channel-posting rights, the whole network might as well. No one feels personal ownership over curation quality.

With that in mind, we're introducing the Procoin Curation Protocol (PCP) as an alternative to the main feed.

We think Farcaster deserves its Tumblr era -- an experience with 1000 feeds managed by 1000 curators, each with their own quirks and creativities. 

But as we know, no one in crypto raises an eyelid without profit motives. And why should they? Curation is hard work. And consumption is a zero-sum endeavor.

The PCP provides a path for curators to earn from their hard work from day one. It creates a system for speculators to earn profit by discovering and amplifying good curators. Finally, it facilitates broad buy-in among creators by giving them upside in curators' feeds. 

The contracts are in audit. The miniapp is deep in development.

We have a community of curators in a groupchat learning about the system and preparing the themes they plan to curate around. Let me know if you're interested in participating.
