Protocols without a token will eventually die. For a protocol to be aligned with its network participants, grow and maintain adoption long-term, there needs to be a way to share value with the network. A token is the best way of doing this.

This is an exciting moment! This is the second token merger I'm aware of (First being Rari Capital and Fei 3 years ago) I think we'll see a lot more token mergers to come. Projects can concentrate liquidity, talent and tech to have a real chance at competing with trad companies https://shorturl.at/kySX5

This reminds me of Chris Dixon’s quote “The Next Big thing will start out looking like a toy” A large % of launched memecoins end up obsolete. Some become toys & a select few go beyond Not an easy task to level up from a toy but there’s immense upside for those that pull it off.

One of the features in Noggle is the Social Credentialing System that uses onchain and social data to award badges to users. These badges help users showcase their involvement in the Nouns ecosystem. Check out the frame to dive deeper into why we love badges! https://frames.neynar.com/f/66fe8cd6/22ce2e05

How do people discover new music? It seems like my major sources are Spotify Discover Weekly and TikTok/IG Reels.

Two types of clients that could potentially be built: 1. Client that generates ad revenue to help subsidize costs and make it free for the user 2. Client that requires a deposit of ETH which can be staked to generate yield. This can pay for the fees and the user can withdraw anytime https://warpcast.com/dwr/0xa44bf2
