I’ll preface this by saying that any number needs context for sense-making.

Not sure I have *the* metric, but the following are ingredients to consider:

- reach/flow: how far into farcaster can you reach? How quickly do your opinions travel from one end of the ecosystem to the other? (borrowed from epidemiology)
- how many “digital twins” do you have that could take over your work (the more the better for the system with some ceiling level)
- how often do you bridge disconnected people/clusters

more complicated:
- how often do you seed vs water vs harvest conversation liquidity

I’d also have a general health ecosystem score and make the total reward pool depending on it. This will act as a counterbalance: individuals improving their position    is a trade off as someone will be worse off*

*the tragedy in the tragedy of the commons is ppl not cooperating with each other & personal greed ruling actions

"How often do you seed vs water vs harvest conversation liquidity?"

~ @kbc in a great thread spawned by @adrienne's idea of Warpcast rewards based on a "conversational liquidity provider" score.

Love the gardening metaphor.
