We're tired of seeing the loudest voices get all the credit while quiet builders get overlooked.

That's why we're building @talent and the Builder Score. 
So that data can speak louder than words.

Today, I committed to becoming one of the decentralized voices of @base following @jessepollak’s request and @statuette's example 🫡

I'm looking at miniapp and frames v2 as our new product discovery tool.

Instead of spending months building a full Builder Score app, we plan to start testing feature ideas in days.

Week 3 of @TalentProtocol Builder Rewards  

Another 20K $TALENT distributed to thousands of builders, and a brand new frame coming soon.

Ship. Earn. Repeat

Talent

Helping builders get the recognition they deserve.

One way of thinking about @talent is the CoinMarketCap for builders.

While CMC tracks the price of tokens, we track the value of the people building them.

In the age of AI:
Agency > Intelligence
Taste > Skills

Base

Yesterday spent the day visiting my friends at the @base offices. No doubts the builders here are super based and talented.

Lot of things coming from the @talent front 🫡

Week 2 of the @talent Builder Rewards is complete!

20K $TALENT distributed to 725 builders—a 58% increase from last week.

Real builders being recognized by their work, not their tweets.

Builders gonna build.

WTF @robin?       I repeat, WTF?

@macedo likes my aura.

First week of the Builder Rewards experiment:

- 13,612 builders qualified for the initial criteria (GitHub, Human Checkmark, Builder Score > 40)

- 460 builders had onchain and/or GitHub activity last week and received rewards

- 20,000 $TALENT distributed, averaging 43.5 $TALENT  per builder (max 171; min 16)

Why do builders need to post content to get recognition?
What if they just shipped instead?

We're staring a new experiment today:
- $20k $TALENT for crypto developers active this week
- rewards distributed automatically based on verified impact

No posts. No applications. Just… https://t.co/RgmQoSEiVJ

The first batch of Builder Rewards was distributed this Monday! 

460 builders received $TALENT simply by shipping last week—no applications needed.

This is what onchain reputation should be about.

it's 10am in Denver, and I'll be here for 1h answering all your questions about the Builder Score in real time 👇

Magic happens when you put 12 builders around a table with good food and no agenda. 

Last night's Builders Table in Denver created the space we all needed—deep conversations beyond the conference chaos.

NYC, Buenos Aires, and Lisbon, you're next.

Software as content

As AI gets better, the specialized knowledge and effort to create software will significantly decrease.

This means the number of people (and AIs) creating software will significantly increase.

In the same way new computing paradigms with new capabilities popularized new atomic units of content, AI will make software a new atomic unit. 

And with each new atomic unit, there’s been a new social network.

That’s an opportunity for Farcaster.

photoshop (1990) didn't kill design — it created 100x more designers
instagram (2010) didn't kill photography — it democratized photography

AI won't kill coding — it will making everyone a builder / software creator

new tools don't replace creativity, they unlock it at scale
