We built Votecaster.io, the first universally verifiable poll system for Farcaster, using @vocdoni's voting infra and Frames v1. — Vote directly from any Farcaster client. — Supports multiple censuses: all Farcaster users, followers, channels, NFT/ERC20 holders — Used by DAOs and communities for internal governance, like @thehaberdashery, ProxyswapDAO or BLEU. — Besides community governance, Votecaster also hosted hundreds of polls with thousands of verifiable votes — Features include liquid delegation, DM notifications, voter tracking, and onchain verifiability While not our current focus, we’re seeking support to evolve Votecaster into a Farcaster miniapp and eventually integrate it with our next-gen protocol DAVINCI.vote, enabling onchain-grade, gasless, anonymous governance. 🔗 Votecaster.io #farcasterrpgfspring2025

I found this rabbit crossing the road today while I was driving and I had to keep it. Named it Bad Bunny right away. I took it to the vet, did X Ray. They say nothing is broken but it can’t walk and doesn’t seem to have sensitivity in their legs. Got antiinflamatories, now let’s see how it develops in the next hours.

1/2 My forecast for 2025 is that the integration of Farcaster’s social layer in Coinbase Wallet will be a spectacular failure. We'll probably see a spike when it comes out of beta (after all, there’s a segment of Coinbase Wallet users who enjoy trying out new things and if they do it well people will try it out) but I predict that by the end of summer, no more than 5% of messages will come from there, and DAUs via Coinbase will be negligible. The reasons? Current Farcaster status quo simply isn’t appealing outside an extremely narrow niche. People don’t want a social layer tied to their wallets. And 99% of people don't give a fuck about financial incentives (basing a significant part of your growth strategy on that is shooting yourself in the foot. It’s a massive trap that could be very difficult to escape from). Continue...

After weeks of keeping everything in silence, I'm happy to finally share what we've been doing at @vocdoni! We're building DAVINCI, a voting protocol based on a L1 zkRollup and designed to solve the problems of both traditional and onchain voting. And that includes anonymous, flexible, gasless and anticoercion voting for DAOs with the same level of guarantees as onchain voting! Testnet is coming this June 2025, if you want to test it out, join the waitlist: https://davinci.deform.cc/waitlist/ To know more: https://davinci.vote

Man, I’m dying seeing all these techno/crypto bros drunk on their own delusions, walking around with these god complexes. It’s not even what they say, it’s their messianic tone like they’ve received some divine code. Hundreds of powerful (and fully biased) men convinced they’re the architects of a “better world,” as if the rest of us are just waiting for their grand design. But the reality is that guys like Brian Armstrong are pathetic, nothing more than fragile egos wrapped in Silicon Valley cosplay, strutting around with delusions of grandeur and zero self-awareness. And zero knowledge of how the rest of the world works, needs or wishes.

If you’ve sometimes thought “does Web3 even matter in the real world?” this episode of @tbsocialist is for you! We chatted with Josh about @vocdoni, why decentralized governance actually matters (especially with democracies falling apart), and some of the things we’ve been working on with all sorts of Real World™ orgs.
