If you’re building a mini app for Farcaster, $DEGEN should be the default token. It’s widely held, fun to use, and drives way more engagement than USDC or WETH. We dropped $100M+ in $DEGEN airdrops last year to Farcaster users. Happy to support you and help amplify, there's no downside to trying it.

First Polymarket / X integration launched today. Provides context to markets with Grok analysis and X posts natively in app. Killer feature imo and another step in the right direction of Polymarket eating the news.

im using desktop and came from twitter link. Connected Warpcast but it wasn't clear that this is a Farcaster client and not mentioned in how it works section. Not sure if this is a bad thing though

Still early not many. Ampleforth, flatmoney, Nuon, Silk, reflexer. Honestly have to go deeper myself, just feels like stablecoin hype is kinda euphoric and was trying to think of second order effects (good and bad)

USDC today buys you ~20% less than it did in 2020 ~98%+ of stablecoins are backed by US dollars Trust in the dollar isn't collapsing but it's slowly diminishing. Onchain stability is clearly in demand. Feels like doomerism and inflation tail risk is low probability, but the consequences are high impact. BTC, ETH and others serve as long term hedges, not short term purchasing power assets. Flatcoins are still very early and have their own problems. But I'd expect to hear a lot more about them over the next 12-24 months.

Would love to try this. Random but reminds me of Onoir in Montreal. Eat in the dark and wait staff are all blind: http://www.onoir.com/en/about

https://archive.is/hMdsn basically using AI for targeted ads. For example: Im in boston, after NY won the series i got an ad from tommyjohn with josh hart and brunson. They should know im in boston and what ads to show me. i think it can go deeper where ads use your name, or kids names etc. more personalized. i think there is an opportunity for something crypto native using social graph and wallet information. I try to explain it a little bit in the comments of my original cast. ive been trying to create a miniapp to somewhat explain my thinking in simplest terms

Original cast should say “context aware” Meta introducing phase 1 of this imo https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-aims-to-fully-automate-ad-creation-using-ai-7d82e249

Didn’t we have this discourse when Procreate brushes basically got big? I remember a lot of artist Discord discussion about social rules allowing/banning certain brushes due to making it too easy to digitally generate art textures and effects. Then artists adapted and stopped fighting change because they realized it meant more art and more markets that didn’t even exist before. Like how artists also used Telegram, Twitch, and so on to make sticker packs as a major product branch in digital artistry. We’re humans. We’ll evolve with the tools we evolve.
