Warpcast

wen swap for invite warps on warplet? the current process is painful

Founders

Daily Fantasy eSports on Base - launching on May 1.

so warplet kinda changes things.

the team @themoguls was planning to launch a frame integrating privy for an embedded wallet exp (well we already did the work)

with warplet, that’s redundant now. another step removed for launch.

I'm a Type 7 (The Enthusiast)! Check out your own Enneagram analysis by pressing the button below.

founders who are juggling an existing 9-5…did you inform the compliance team about your startup? how’d the convo go?

kinda stuck - don’t want to deal with potential legal action in the future, but also not ready for my product to be announced across the company (and answers tons a questions from curious folks)

frames-v2

with @themoguls, we’re building a daily fantasy platform on Base to address the engagement gap in esports

our mvp (avail on /frames-v2 April 28) will feature prop-based, pick ‘em style USDC contests for Dota 2, LoL & CS2 tournaments

i’d love to chat w/ any gamers here & share some sneak peaks for your feedback

We are close to FID 1,000,000! 
But we only have 30,000 DAU...
But how many people cast consistently (5 days in a row)? 12,597

We dig deeper and look at how many of those are considered qDAU (quality Daily Active Users) the numbers are much more startling...

1,991 qDAU

So if you missed the Warpcast Rewards Leaderboard this week, just keep casting. You are closer than you imagine if you show up everyday. You've got this!

P.S. Out of the 1030 that got rewards, 1029 of them have a level 2 spam label (Don't get a bad SPAM Label)!

Major shoutout to @jc4p and @mvr and @sheva7.eth who made the Dune queries that made this new analysis possible.

keep casting folks. there are <2k quality daily active users on Warpcast!

what excites me most for founders on Warpcast - the ability to (1) launch on /frames-v2, (2) quickly validate MVP assumptions, and most importantly (3) pivot or persevere.

a real democratization of the product dev process…kinda like what YouTube did for indie content creators in the late 2000s

it feels like every odd founder is chasing the elusive DeFI unicorn. to say the space is saturated - UNDERSTATEMENT

the consumer crypto app space is widddeeee open. what’re your favorite non-DeFi apps?

with the token economy alive and well, founders should worry ONLY about delivering the goods to a loyal & engaged user base— they will fund your project (whether it’s buying your token or using your product). 

eat the VCs. stay indie.

When someone says - “shareholders value” - that sounds so corporate 😑

But say - “token holders value, community value” - and that sounds like music to my ears 🎶

wby?

spot on. the goal should always be to deliver value to a community or users.

good products don’t have be a VC money grab. misaligned shareholders can (will) wreak havoc on a community

This is dope! A lot of progress 🥰

However - the spam labels don’t seem to be functioning as envisioned.

So many genuine people trying to engage on Warpcast seem to be muted. Please fix!

lords of warpcast, I seem to have found myself on your naughty list. tips to be good again?

hey Warpcast team - not sure why’ve I’ve been labelled a spammer. I’ve never engaged in any of the activities listed in the “unwritten” rules of Warpcast. Please help!

I’ve seen talk re: rev share tokens. imho it’s a great way to:

- incentivize founders to focus on users (no time spent catering to investors’ interests)
- build a growing community of loyal stakeholders for quick validation 
- raise capital (very obvious)

Also there’s just something so sexy about sharing.

Daily Fantasy

Not a hot take, but daily fantasy for esports is better served as a focused, global offering.
