Design

New metamask branding verdict?

I love that metamask is finally investing in design, but imo missing the mark - their new website is too esoteric & hard to use now, and the logo feels dated - doing the weird Ms isn't worth the fox between them

frames-v2

PSA

you can debug your frames v2 locally using the frames.js debugger (even without using frames.js)

$ npm install -g @frames.js/debugger
$ frames

the simplest way to make /frames.
Ask for help in /frames-devs.
Docs at framesjs.org

almost every frame should show on the first page (especially if it requests a signer) which of the closest friends + people they follow of a user are also users of it, to increase social proof

can we just call it minting coins as well? 

swap feels too transactional

Berlin

Going to any interesting events this week in Berlin?

in most startups, who you're working with matters more than what you're working on - the latter often changes

pure memecoins are a pyramid scheme that will collapse as soon as 

A) the same people keep winning (as this means the average person is losing $ consistently)

and

B) new buyers entering the system are exhausted (there's a limited amount).

A is already happening (KOLs are driving token prices top down) & not sure how much of B is left.

History rhymes - exact same thing happened with NFTs.

A) and B) happening

pendulum will likely swing back from pure coins to revenue backed + community first + fair price discovery without speed advantages (where A) isn't possible) after a couple months of lull

did Meteora (one of the largest Dexs on solana, where trump coin was launched) just copy paste Meteor.js's logo and rotate it? 

How stupid is this industry

this aged well - having little integrity across the biz it seems

funny how every chain is now "the chain for AI"

onchain loyalty programmes that know when you've been unfaithful 😂

if you did this, say goodbye to your opensea airdrop 😂

LLMs reduce the cost of complexity

ethereum is full of complexity (layers of abstractions + standards + upcoming standards + history)

kinda a meaningful tailwind for builders to navigate it

sequencer profits as a good business model feel somewhat misaligned with interoperability. 

Would be better if value accrued to building contracts people actually use
