Asking Farcaster. How do you gather information and context about a new trending smart contract?

Would love to see a feed of newly deployed contracts (last 30 days) that have a large number of unique addresses interacting with them.

Does off-chain context matter to you? How do you go about finding out who created this contract, why they created it, and why people are ignoring high gas price to interact with it?

BAYC ERC721 was a pretty generic NFT contract if you didn't know about the social hype surrounding it.

Yes. Am super curious about how people find off-chain data to smart contracts right now. From chatting with folks, their "DYOR" starts with the links on the collection's page on OpenSea  or the coins' page on CoinGecko.

What would you do with the smart contract info without off-chain context? Seems like the off-chain data is the only thing that matters? But I’m non-tech so would love a tech’s perspective
