I've heard "find great people and figure out how to pay for them" from one of my friends, but I think a lot of that can actually come from storytelling

I’m a fan of passkeys but they require a lot of re-education for users. Like they still don’t move well between Apple/Google ecosystems and can be accidentally overridden

Have you tried using @ to index documentation for things like Viem? That’s probably my favorite part, a lot of the LLMs aren’t up to date on newer or niche packages

Swapped over to defined.fi which has a similar GraphQL request endpoint for search that takes 200 ms but gets us exactly the information we need. At the moment, it seems to be the best token pricing API out there since a lot of other products like CoinGecko and Coinmarketcap aren't designed to handle the random memecoins that pop up every hour

We were originally using CoinGecko token APIs which have a search function that returns in about 50 ms. But it required a lot of post-processing such as roundtrips to RPCs to get critical data such as token decimal places which would add another 800 ms of latency. This ended up making our user experience too slow.

Back from vacation and back to shipping at /frens! Got in a refactor that speeds up searching for tokens from 1000ms to about 200ms. Shoutout to @wijuwiju.eth for helping me out with recs, some learnings below 👇

T-minus ~20 hours till scoop goes live players will be let in to the app based on their position in the leaderboard — so the higher you are on the leaderboard, the earlier your cohort to climb the leaderboard, deposit more funds into your scoop wallet

after more testing and bugfixing (pls update to the latest version!), we've opened up invite codes again 🎉🎉 to make it fair for people who couldn't get in and ensure the game starts smoothly, we're pushing back game start one more week (to Wed the 26th). we're excited for everyone to see what we've cooked for phase 1 🔜🔜 p.s this is a boosted cast, so +250 points is up for grabs if you like and recast 🫡

@paulcowgill not sure if you guys already do this but I need CAIP-19 token identifiers from APIs. Context is here: https://warpcast.com/bli.eth/0xf17c6d58

This works for chain names that are fairly standardized like "base", but can get very frustrating when new L3s emerge and one platform chooses to represent it as "degen" and another chooses to use "degenchain".

APIs should do more to simplify this for developers. Below shows the id for $DEGEN on Base across APIs: Zerion: "0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed-base-asset-asset" CoinGecko: "base_0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed" SimpleHash: "base.0x4ed4e862860bed51a9570b96d89af5e1b0efefed"
