1/ Update on @todaydotfun! Lessons from Wednesday’s launch and how we're iterating on the token + curation mechanism. It was a blast to put the experiment out in the wild and get some buzz around a token-powered social account that rewards creators. Some quick stats: - over 500 people claimed the airdrop - ~10k visitors to the site throughout day 1 - 8 rounds elected winners and distributed token rewards to ~100 people What went well: - the app and contracts worked as advertised! (pending some minor bugs) - dozens of submissions per round and hundreds of thousands of tokens voting for content - creators, curators, and voters earned fresh tokens each round What needs work: - slop! — as the rounds progressed, the majority of submissions turned into slop that shilled tokens, self-promoted low quality posts, or shared low effort AI art

2/ Our initial airdrop to ~3500 users (based on Neynar score + manual curation) was intended to be wide and inclusive, but led to users motivated by short-term economics overwhelming users interested in creating a quality feed. *If this continues, the bad will drive out the good and @todaydotfun will fade into irrelevance.* We know the challenges of introducing intrinsic motivations to creativity from years of building in crypto, but we think there's a way to solve for both quality and rewards, and we’re excited to try to figure it out.

3/ What we're doing next—introducing Guardians: - guardians are ~250 FC users seeded from the "Warpcast Rewards" leaderboard (https://dune.com/slokhx/warpcast-rewards) - guardians will get 100k $TODAY to give them 10x more stake in selecting quality content than previous token recipients "Warpcast Rewards" has identified some of the best and most active creators on FC, and we invite them to help set the tone and define the culture of @todaydotfun. We hope (re)starting “small” will help produce the right foundation for content and the community, so we can grow together from there. If you’re interested in participating as a guardian, reply below. We expect the changes to land tomorrow, where posting and voting will be resumed. 🚧 STAY TUNED 🚧

That mirror.xyz (write race) style playbook again. I see you @literature 😉 Down to be guardian (not sure if I'm in the top 250 though 🤔)
