i think a farcaster GDP metric would be so much fun for the community / users / pro users to north star on

ie. 3214 people earned $431,353 via farcaster last week 

> agencies who found clients 
> people who found jobs on farcaster
> traders who made monies from fc wallets 

so on so forth 

superteam did this v well back in '21 & it did unite everyone towards one common community goal of sorts

cc: @ted could be a good marketing angle for X / CT 

also, the onboarding guide on: how to earn your first $ on farcaster is a good thing to have

albeit that's a derivate task post increasing TOFU

I am not sure why the idea of the “farconomy” was abandoned. There clearly is a social-economy happening here and that economic activity is a draw in my opinion.

Farcaster

this summer,

 $7M of p2p money has 
circulated among 

~25K active users of farcaster

⚙️ $4M is volume swapping/ wash trading (traders likely)

👥 $3M is the organic p2p economy of farcaster (tipping, commerce etc)

there is an attempt to quantify this by @luc Farconomy.com

any updates u can share about faircaster?

need to make a pus to include all the tipping (both native and external - will have a crack at it over the weekend)

this is now quite outdated

Superteam nailed that energy back then.
A weekly GDP dashboard could spark the same movement here.
