Farcaster

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

Another reason to build on /farcaster

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.

Btw, the Farcaster protocol has 348k total users, but as of last week less than 5k had the power badge (and many were spamming/farming). So im all for progress, but ppl might be surprised how small the network actually is when you filter out the spam.

80/20 rule really 348/5 rule I guess 😂

Any vis of that stuff anywhere? @pixel has the dune db but it's not something I go to regularly

I haven't fucked with SQL yet, only doing JSON fuckery with neynar, any input here @rish ?

Not sure. Im using Neynar API to query for power badge users. The metric is not available through the SQL playground so I can't add it to the farcasterinsights.com dashboard
