In a sufficiently decentralized network, we should expect more value (social, financial) to flow to network participants compared to a centralized alternatives.    

Gonna fire up Cursor and build earnonfarcaster.com with the call to action it Pays to create

Okay here’s what we’ve got thus far - focusing on Warpcast Rewards, Amps, and Morpho frames. 

Want to add a 101 section on frames / starter packs then will ship to Twitter and see how it performs 

Heavily inspired by Ramp and Robinhood - let me know your thoughts!

've officially been priority ordering pilled. Why? Two words:

MEV Taxes.

What the hell are MEV taxes, and why should you care?

After reading through 
@paradigm's 'Priority Is All You Need' article by @danrobinson and @davewhite it’s clear:

- MEV taxes capture a cut of extracted MEV and redirect it to the app layer.

- Protocols can start leveraging this today. Especially with @unichain's launch.

To understand MEV taxes, we first need to look at how MEV is extracted when priority ordering isn’t enforced.

Here’s a classic example: An MEV searcher sandwiches a victim’s trade by placing a buy order before and a sell order after their transaction.

Notice how the block isn’t ordered by priority fees.
Instead, the block builder reorders transactions to maximize MEV profits.

Ever wondered why @safe uses a linked list for storing owners in their multisig?

I've worked with this data structure a bunch of times and it always makes me do a double take. 

This diagram will help...
