Wrote something nifty about DA. Check it out and let me know what you think! Huge thanks to @ncitron.eth and @eulerlagrange.eth. Stay tuned for more writing coming out soon.

boostyblast

Building a bridge to connect OP chains for reading contract states across them. 

This bridge enables users to promote content on /boostyblast using $DEGEN, allowing the reading of Farcaster contract states on Base from Optimism.

PS: BoostyBlast is a content promotion platform for Farcaster that I'm building by myself

Yes, I know about it, and I like the concept. Just a question: who inserts a proof into the MMR? I understand that everyone can do it, but it seems difficult that many people would push a proof there without an incentive.

I'm optimistic about zk proofs, but imho, they aren't fully ready yet due to proving time and costs. In the short to medium term, I would bet on TEEs, which also allow off-chain execution and on-chain verification via attestations.

Is anyone going to ZK Proof 6 in Berlin tomorrow?

I don't know @witness, but yeah, hubs should agree on a state and post its hash on Ethereum.

IMHO, @farcaster should follow this approach. Having the network's state committed to Ethereum is very useful and can open up many new use cases.

In the future, on-chain light clients might no longer be necessary. Thanks to zk proofs, the integrity of any block could be directly verified by tracing it back to the genesis block. Although this approach may appear to be futuristic, it is rapidly approaching feasibility.

Will we see feed-algorithms-as-a-service (FAAAS) someday? Whereby any FC client allows the user to select their preferred algo from a list of open-source options published in a standard format to GitHub.

Various algos would offer followers only, followers + their followers, language-specific, zero-censorship, OGs, etc

Farcaster should define a standard for feeds, and clients should offer users the ability to switch feed providers based on their preferences. This approach could also give rise to a "feed economy," where creators pay a fee to the feed provider to have their content displayed.

I proposed the same thing a few days ago

Thoughts on this rather critical - but perhaps not wrong - take? https://x.com/peter_szilagyi/status/1788145447099355301 (read the entire thread)

imho the model itself is not wrong. The feed simply needs to be improved.

Check this: https://warpcast.com/allemanfredi.eth/0xc8d3ebb5

this would be the start to the creation of well-constructed feeds

But the model itself is not wrong imho. The feed simply needs to be improved.
