Farcaster

This is the idea I’ve been working on for the past ~2 weeks.

I'd love to get as much feedback as possible before shipping the MVP so any input would be highly appreciated!

To test the concept: anyone with an active badge + >10k followers can earn $5 by recasting. (budget is $100)

100%, when shipping the first version ideally there won't be a minimum follower parameter but rather a system that evaluates a creator's recast based on their reach (+ hopefully filters out bots/spam) and rewards them a dynamic amount based on that.

Something I've seen on the tipping side are cyclical, closed networks. If you had a way to measure how "open" a person's reach is, that might be a good signal for general receptiveness, quality, and more likely to be organic user. Bots and farmers share amongst themselves in a tight loop.
