The fact that power badge status is avail to query for devs means that builders can effectively offload Sybil detection/prevention to WC team

“Warpcast grants power badges to users who are active, interesting to others and not spammy” is definitely weaker than a no-Sybil guarantee (although interesting)

Nothing is guaranteed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But def better than rebuilding anti Sybil tools over and over again in silos while the Sybil's learn better ways to circumvent each teams' efforts

Power badge is a good start, but for a while it was not very good at filtering for spam and farming. I think the team is working on improiving it now, which im glad to see.

We offboard sybil detection/prevention to Warpcast with Bountycaster and it's great!
