Every crypto cycle proves the validity of one or more new use cases (DeFi, NFTs, Farcaster, memecoins) by absolutely beating it to death, hooking a handful people who commit to studying and applying them, and then build real things with them

I’m playing with the UX of the Chonks marketplace to make it feel incredibly fast and hide some of the clunkier parts of crypto UX to go along with @base’s fast block time. Liking where this is headed

Took a break from twitter this weekend and it’s so clear how unhealthy of a network it is. Beyond its own social scalability.

A few more features of the Chonks Marketplace: - Bidding requires you bid 5% over the previous bid to avoid minuscule outbids - There’s a 50 block cooldown on the Chonk each time a Trait leaves its Backpack, to avoid you buying a Chonk with fewer traits than you think - Getting outbid auto-refunds you and if that transaction fails for some reason, you can always withdraw from the contract Big thanks to @nix for the feedback here.

On the Chonks marketplace you won’t *ever* have to: - refresh the metadata to see the latest Traits on the Chonk or in their backpack - worry about the seller front running your Chonk buy by moving all the Traits to a different Chonk right beforehand

We’ll write a full post on this when we release it but the reason the marketplace has taken so long and why we can’t use something off the shelf like existing white label marketplaces is because we have to account for the security and behavior around trading an asset that owns other assets as well as the underlying asset itself. For example, what should happen to listed Traits owned by a Chonk when the Chonk gets listed too? How can you collect more Traits for your Chonk while the Chonk is listed for sale? What role do transfers have in relation to listings when one asset owns another?

Happy to announce that the Chonks marketplace is code complete and has been sent off for audits. Hope to have it live next week! Thank you all for your patience while we got this right.

Today I released a repo that generates Merkle trees in Solidity using @dmfxyz’s Murky and verifies them onchain and offchain using Merkletreejs This is part of some work we’re doing on the Chonks marketplace and thought it could be useful to others https://github.com/backseats/merkle-example
