Castmoney

castmoney v0.1 update: 
- we've been materially successful in solving a personal problem, but not a product problem  

- warpcast has integrated social graphs x wallets & will continue to find promise in this direction. moving away from native experience to castmoney is high friction for users.   

- we ran into engg. issues in loops; it was an internal failure wrt to first principles & wrong approaches  

- indexing all addresses' is a lot of compute + costs, and we weren't able to derive enough ROI from it

- all while, our biggest win has been growing our treasury to 7 figure through castmoney (although selling right, is the skill we've honed)   

- trading platforms draw the biggest of vols in crypto, but 95% platforms push through 5% of the vol, we realised it's a losing battle unless u have insane distribution or leverage to be in the top 5% of trading platforms   

- with that said, 'hot tokens' on castmoney is where user's are finding  alpha, and we're doubling down on it (amongst other experiments)

some stats & insights from week 1 of launch: 

 • conversion funnel is leaky: 4,689 views → 2,678 token page visits → 960 cashin reached → 138 success. that’s ~2.9% conversion from view to mint. not bad, but not great. making $10k from this would require ~$2mn of txn. not happening in bear at least. 

 • frame is sticky: 442 added vs 8 removed. people like embedding it. this is our growth vector.

 • rageclicks + fails = UX debt: 140 rageclicks vs 143 fails. almost 1:1. this is a clear signal that something’s broken or confusing at the cashin step. we ran into some bugs that got fixed. 

 • notifications work: 294 clicks from notifications. we're doubling down on this. 

 • autocapture is high: people are exploring, but not always converting. maybe the frame is too passive or not guiding action well.

pretty neat! adding a share functionality for individual feed items or your own would be sick

you can swap all tokens on our mini app, adding support for transferring back to USDC next week too!

too many of ya'll dm'ing me about $hot 

yes it'll come soon 

the best form of distribution is a token, yes, but i'd rather do it when the utility is crystal clear 

we're not broke, nor are we here for the short term 

we're here for the long run 

we'll do it when the product & markets align

till we get to $hot play around with 👇
