working on @brackyHQ - bet sports against AI in-feed (currently on Farcaster, X soon) | playing @bracketHQ - live sports markets on @base | tldr.base.eth
Joined July 2012
If you're making an App without a Frame . then you're insane. Shipping on @farcaster_xyz (1M+ users) will now distribute off-the-shelf to @CoinbaseWallet (10M+ users) with pipelines to @coinbase + @base (100M+ users). The next @bracketHQ Inflection Point is gonna sennnd. đ„.

âšThe Farcaster Entrepreneurial Stackâš. Through its first two weeks, my crypto app @BracketHQ has done ~$2,000,000USD in volume (~$80K in revenue). One. Hundred. Percent. On @farcaster_xyz:. âŸïžEarly adopters = FC users.âŸïžPower users = FC group chat.âŸïžFirst-hire engineer = FC

I just attended Farcaster Dev Day. The level to which Dan & Varun have (1) thoroughly navigated the idea maze + (2) developed a strong hypothesis for a net new social platformâŠ. âŠItâs something special. I have high conviction about betting big on FC as we build @BracketHQ.
Yesterday, we hosted our first ever Dev Day with 50 ecosystem developers. We walked through our developer roadmap for channels, frames, direct casts, cheaper sign ups, Hubs and more. A huge shout out to @tednotlasso for organizing another great Farcaster event!

Attn: This is not your grandma's March Madnessđ. We've got an Agentic Intelligence running a live prediction market in his own native token ($BRACKY) . DM me if you want to use @BrackyHQ on @farcaster_xyz before he takes his talents to X. Be early.
Base is for sports. @BracketHQ is bringing competition onchain. Build brackets and track results, starting with a new onchain agent-powered experience for March Madness

It's the perfect moment to join @farcaster_xyz đ. 1. New users can instantly earn. 2. New devs can instantly distribute. (Lmk if you come over, I will follow and boost you.).
fav things about @farcaster_xyz rn:.1. new Warpcast Rewards* leaderboard is mostly women (!!) + new accounts are rising to #1 bc its follower-adjusted. 2. new v2 Frames (in-app apps) make it 5x easier to discover + try new apps AND has built-in notifs. *$10k in rewards this week

@levie The @moxie article is thoughtful and interesting but imo continually mistakes what *is now* (generally shitty root-access-UX) for what *could be* (a generally seamless root-access-UX). See @albertwenger for a VERY powerful counter to this very pt:

Crypto Twitter: âPublic narratives will drive Ethereumâs mass adoption.â. Farcaster: âBuilding things people want will drive Ethereumâs mass adoption.â. ^These two things are not mutually exclusive. So letâs let each other cook?.
I'll say the awkward part out loud. A lot of the Ethereum community leaving for Farcaster has been a big detriment to Ethereum's public narratives and to an extent, price as well. Hate on this take all you want but it's true.

#permaweb. Everyone should learn the term. To users the permaweb feels just like the normal web. But behind the curtain is a big difference: . Permaweb sites are not served up by company-owned servers, but rather by a decentralized blockchain (Arweave). Why does this matter? 1/n.
Want to see something cool?. This is 1 of 10,000 files (metadata for @SollamasNFT on @solana) written to the Arweave in a single base layer TX đ€Ż. It cost $0.37 and synced atomically, in just a few minutes. How? A deep dive 𧔠on storage scalability đ.

Why @BracketHQ â€ïž @farcaster_xyz . As a new app, weâre competing hard for peopleâs marginal attention. On FC, our users never break flow:. in-feed -> in-app -> in-feed -> in-app. Meeting people where they are + minimizing friction is the difference bt success and failure for us!.
Introducing Minimized Mini Apps. - You now have the ability to minimze your mini app just above the navigation bar at the bottom of your app. - Sound stays on while minimizedâprobably some alpha for audio / livestreaming / WebRTC developers

@yekiM_o really good take. the reality for most of us is that achieving long term goals requires conviction, but staying alive requires flexibility. the nuance is that conviction and flexibility do not *have* to be contradictory. you flex with interesting trends as fuel toward The Goal.

@Rodairos @farcaster_xyz Mini app literally as easy as building a website (we ported our site into a mini app in a day). Everyone gets wallet off the shelf. This makes transaction friction for users INCOMPARABLE. Most important, distribution to early users is easy. Culture that likes to share new apps.

Study @anoncast_ â leading rainbow use on base without mobile working yetâŠ.
This is insane considering mobile anoncasting doesn't really work yet. Zk proof generation is too much for phones to handle right now. This is literally cutting edge tech and not been done before. Imagine the bangers once the sloth solves mobile. The spice will flow.

If this isn't mind-blowing to you, think about what it is like to use the web in non-democratic countries (which, over a long-run, we are all at risk of becoming). Globally â and temporally â this is a really, really, really big deal. @samecwilliams @ArweaveTeam are geniuses! n/n.

@0xadriamasnou @chironchain @aixbt_agent @BracketHQ Tldr:. Make a token lots of people want by making experiences lots of people love. Vast majority of $bracky is out there in the open. Rest is used by Bracky and Bracket to provide liquidity to the social markets and onboard new people. Anything more at this pt is theatrics.

This debate bt @JackRhysider + @kevinrose abt Squiggles reminds of the furor Andy Warhol caused w his "Brillo Boxes" piece in 1964. Applying Arthur Danto's classic philosophic defense of Warhol to NFTs:. Snowfro : Warhol ::.Squiggles : Brillo boxes ::.CryptoTwitter : Art critics
@kevinrose @_Raster_Eyes_ @trueventures @artblocks_io Yeah I had no idea these were animated. Thanks. I just wonder if Snowfro wasn't part of the cryptopunk community and was just some outsider he probably wouldn't have had the same impact. I think it was his connections to the NFT space that really made this project go anywhere.

Bounties to "reveal" your anon posts. @anoncast_ keeps innovating, stay tuned đ.
Now that you can opt to take credit later for bangers you write zk-anonymously on @anoncast_, I would love to see this: . Someone with a big audience here on X makes a post using anoncast dot org and a couple days later, challenges their followers to try and guess which one was.

3. Permaweb users can profit from sites .(you could earn NewsCoinâą through, for example, a great commenting reputation or a letter to the editor). 4. Permaweb users can micro-pay to sites .(you can easily pay NewsCoinâą by the article or word!, instead of monthly subscriptions).

1. Permaweb sites are permanent .(even if NewsCo changes a story or even UX, you can go back and access old versions!). 2. Permaweb sites can not be censored .(if you can always access an old version, attempted censorship is never effectual!) [corollary to #1, but worth saying].

Synthesizing stuff Ive seen via @albertwenger / @balajis / @cdixon / @FukuyamaFrancis . hunter-gather = public land = decntralzd, small. agriculture = private land = cntralzd, small. industry = private capital = cntralzd, scaled. web[3] = public capital = decntralzd, scaled.
humans started off "decentralized," forming into tribes. autocracies represent massive centralization. feudalism introduced some federation, but to reinforce centralization. democratic nation-states founded on shared identity moved us closer back to decentralization. what's next?.

Crypto's signal to noise ratio can get depressing sometimes. That's why it's v inspiring for me to watch @base lean so hard into one of crypto's few truly unique value props:. Base is Global. @jessepollak's image of Base as "an app store that anyone anywhere can use" is fire.
This segment was just broadcast to 8,000,000 homes in Kenya this week featuring @jessepollak and based builder @ChrisKinya. Itâs time to bring the world onchain.

Web3 = Web2(Sovereignty, Access, Incentivization). The last pt does not get enough attn: Crypto can 100x incentive design, which 10,000x's everything else. Arweave's @samecwilliams is simply brilliant on incentives. Here's his 101 for @a16z "Crypto School"
Fascinating. Decentralised governance alone does not help. We need to _incentivise_ good governance. Profit sharing communities on Arweave use locktime weighted voting and distributing the app's profit to token holders to start to address this. Better governance => higher APR.
