We just shipped major improvements to our voting infrastructure on @ponder We've significantly enhanced our transaction handling, making voting much more reliable for both EOA and smart wallet users Error rates are expected to drop from ~3% to <1% with our new tracking and recovery system External wallet flow now uses a streamlined approval process that's more consistent and predictable Here's what it looks like in action 👇

We've just processed refunds to all 22 wallets affected by failed ponder votes. Every user whose onchain vote didn't complete but who spent USDC has been refunded. Data transparency: - 22 wallets affected (accounting for 1.6% of 3,324 total votes since May 17) - All affected USDC has been returned to wallets - Notifications sent to all affected users We've also implemented major technical improvements behind the scenes that should reduce these issues significantly going forward, official announcement coming later today We'll continue monitoring throughout the week to catch and refund any additional failed votes If you received a refund notification, check your wallet. If you believe you're still missing funds, please DC us with transaction details.

First (re)impressions of PostHog after using it for the first time in years: - auto event tracking is so good once the boilerplate is set up - enriching users with identities is absolutely necessary - importing data was much easier than expected (manually inserted 2 million synthetic events from an old provider in minutes w/ a simple python script) - PostHog > Sentry for error monitoring - I forgot how good session replay is - startup program gave us $50k in credits immediately after applying (plus they sent free swag of a hedgehog, hell yeah)

We’ve added a dialog for both new and existing users that talks about how we’re protecting vote integrity We’re continuing to invest in anti-collusion and finding better ways to keep ponder fair for everyone participating Expect to see many improvements in this area over the coming months

We'll be experiencing some downtime this morning as we wrap up our migration work and move to a new database provider This will be the last of the major backend upgrades that are going to allow @ponder to scale much more rapidly in the coming months (and beyond)

Grouped notifications help curb mini app fatigue, but the current "most recent on top" approach can bury critical notifications in the stack Simple fix: let mini apps pass an importance flag so high priority notifications gain visibility in the group preview instead of the most recent

It's hard to overstate the impact that the flashblocks upgrade will have for anyone building on top of base Suddenly transactions won't just be fast for crypto standards, they'll basically be comparable to traditional web app database operations This is a total paradigm shift for consumer apps in the space and may actually shift the adoption curve

We're seeing occasional payout issues for a small subset of users who have voted correctly but are getting notified that they were awarded $0 We're investigating the issue and sending refunds in the meantime to anyone affected
