Here's an idea for a Farcaster startup: 

- Sell labels for Farcaster accounts 
- Accounts can have multiple labels (e.g. airdrop farmer, onchain transctor)  
- Labels can be either binary or a confidence score (0 to 1) 

Warpcast would pay to use this service if you did a good job.

I think this is a very interesting problem space. It’s similar to some work I was doing at Google: labeling & predicting abusive behavior for millions of SMS messages across 1b phone numbers a month. 

We would:
- manually label millions of spam reports 
- create heuristic rules & train ML models using labeled data
- deploy heuristics & models to the device and on the server (bc different access to signals on each)
- rinse & repeat 

Heuristics got us surprisingly far. 

The vast amount of accessible onchain and FC data (metadata, behavior, content) should make it much easier to build decent classifiers.

Was it specific words used that you were able to highlight these SMS as spam

Cause the algo seems to be weird when it comes to spamming on farcaster
