$DEGEN

im a big fan of the recent degen tipping changes

1. deriving tipping allowance from a combo of locking the token and the social graph strength feels like a really elegant solution to reward people with real skin in the game

2. it's much less farmable, yet the numbers are still really solid (~300 APY atm)

3. degen tipping remains the best growth strategy on farcaster — lots of supercast users got more in degen tips than they ever paid for supercast

4. it's not clear yet, but the branding really improves — i was disappointed with the ai images and begging meta before. Now the vibe it's closer to actually rewarding valuable contributions to the network.

5. having a predictable emission budget is great too and makes the token much more sustainable over the long run

im currently locking 500k degen and will look later how can i bring it to the max 10k allo

imo @jacek did a great job with this one — im excited to release more degen related features in supercast soon :)
