Due to @quotient sunsetting their farcaster reputation system, we have adjusted the reputation scores on Empire to utilize @neynar scores combined with @inflynce to recreate a robust Farcaster reputation system. Shout out to @alitiknazoglu and @rish for making this possible ❤️ And a big thank you to @ruminations for the quotient support over the past months - legendary builder and can't wait to see what you ship next 💪 cc. @yerbearserker

Some perspective on yesterday's SEC/CFTC crypto classification release, because I think both the hype and the skepticism are missing pieces. What makes this structurally different from past guidance: The SEC and CFTC issued this jointly. Those two agencies have been fighting over crypto jurisdiction for years. Them aligning on a single document, with the CFTC agreeing to administer the Commodity Exchange Act consistent with these classifications, is new territory. They named assets. Page 14 lists BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE and others as explicitly not securities. The SEC has never done that before. That's very hard to walk back and becomes exhibit A in any future defense. It explicitly supersedes the 2019 staff framework that was the basis for most Gensler-era enforcement actions. The old weapon got replaced. It's designated a "major rule" under the Congressional Review Act, giving it more institutional weight than typical guidance. The caveats are real though. This is interpretation, not legislation. It hasn't been court-tested. A future administration could theoretically shift direction, which is why the Clarity Act still matters to harden this into law. But dismissing this as "just guidance" misses that it's the most specific, jointly-issued regulatory position on crypto asset classification that's ever existed in the US. The path is being drawn. It hasn't been paved yet. But the direction matters. https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/interp/2026/33-11412.pdf 🏛️ That said... open to thoughts/feedback! What do you think about it? cc: @nounishprof @adrienne @bradq @diviflyy @garrett @toadyhawk.eth @kylepatrick.eth @bribe

Feels like a big day for builders working around tokens! The SEC and CFTC jointly released an interpretation that classifies crypto assets into five clear categories and actually names which ones fall where. Meme coins, NFTs, community tokens? Digital Collectibles. Not securities. Functional chain tokens like ETH, SOL, XRP? Digital Commodities. Not securities. Membership and coordination tokens? Digital Tools. Not securities. Staking (including liquid staking), airdrops, wrapping... all addressed as non-securities activities. And the "investment contract separation" piece is worth paying attention to: tokens can start with development promises attached and shed that classification once those promises are fulfilled. This is guidance, not legislation. Hasn't been court-tested yet. But the direction is being drawn clearly. Worth a full read if you're building anything onchain. https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/interp/2026/33-11412.pdf And.... a good day for building Empire Builder with @diviflyy! 🏛️ cc: @nounishprof @bradq @dish @rish @bizarrebeast @bribe @push-

Beautiful supportive cast & news from @mfbevan.eth re: $Farverse on & beyond Farcaster 🫡 "While many projects are shutting down I intend to keep building as long as people keep playing. I'm not leaving Farcaster. I will continue to support existing apps. I will continue to build new apps. So long as Farcaster lives, so does the Farverse. TL;DR is Farcaster, Base and Web support for all Farverse games. Happy slaying, hunting, petting, warping, collecting and more to come…" cc: @toadyhawk.eth @bradq @nounishprof @statuette re: Builders committed to still building 😊 🫡

pedantic adjective Obsessed with minor details or rules Often at the expense of the bigger purpose. Pedantry argues over commas. Builders move mountains. Pedantry debates endlessly. Builders ship. Do not become so pedantic that you forget the work. Progress favors the Builder who acts.

Always appreciate my co-founder @diviflyy doing our weekly meetings in his Australian evening so we can have real time catch ups. No clue how he manages to go to sleep after because I'm always so fired up after we talk about the week that was and the one inbound, plus the longer term vision and ideas! Empire Builder v3 looking good, and ... the 3.1, 3.2 etc as more functionality comes online! Excited. To say the least! Glank Glank from Dreams to Empires! 🏛️ $glanker
