Not clear to me if the benefits of being embedded into Warpcast and exposed to its community are worth the additional barriers for a new user to download Warpcast instead 😅

2025 is going to be great year.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, don’t let the the price affect you.
Build and ship, the world is coming onchain.

ok banger

new 'recharge' feature released by zeal on top of @gnosispay

-> hold USD in zeal's 'earn' account for 6% yield (via DAI on gnosis)
-> set a recharge target on your gnosis card (e.g. 200 USD)
-> whenever your balance falls below this target, your card will be automatically topped via your 'earn' account

fuck web2 fintechs - this is why crypto will win

Very cool. This is simple but can easily be improved with more sophisticated if conditions and sources of funds

When is KYC required to onboard a user with a credit card?

I just downloaded Moonshot, bought USDC with Apple Pay and traded some meme coins and then withdrew, all without KYC.

Can someone help me understand when it’s a requirement and when it’s not?

Degen Chain opened a massive flood gate for every project to launch their own chain in 2024.

Gives an immediate use case to all tokens as the base currency and a shift in value framing as investors start to value applications like protocols.

Study app chains.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this take.
An appchain is not a use case for a token, it just pushes the problem “let’s build something that people want to use” a level app, waiting for someone to do that on your behalf.

Looking forward the real apps.

The @Arbitrum DAO is turning into a Venture Studio for Games!

I have voted in favor of the Gaming Ecosystem Growth proposal - $400m directed at publishers and game builders.

Web3 games still have a chance to be the entry point of the famous “1 billion new users”…


Is there a way to not have Warpcast redirect me to the Coinbase Wallet when I need to do an onchain tx?
I want to use other wallets

I have not time to focus on memecoins, I am happily farming with $ETH @ 60% APY

Seeing a lot of different estimates on the impact of blobs, but if this is true we are going to see an even greater explosion of activity on L2s.

Bullish @ethereum, bullish $ETH, bullish all L2s

Ethereum is the world computer. The universal platform for cryptocurrencies, blockchain apps, stablecoins, and decentralized technologies.

Bull market bear market doesn’t make a difference.

Couldn’t avoid minting this gem on @base paint today

I’m here just to mint everything I bump into

Farcaster Frames make it easy to ship an MVP, no app install required:

- mobile first
- feed first
- distribution first

And since the buttons are signed actions from the Farcaster user's EdDSA key:

- no risk of losing funds
- no requirement for auth
- works on any other Farcaster client (doesn't have to be a wallet)

Just onboarded to Farcaster thanks to… Frames!

Loved the concept at first sight, my mind is now not trying to explode while thinking about the best experiments that could be run here.

Permissionless composability, built-in distribution channel, forced web3 security.

Let’s go! 🚀
