REGISTER, ENGAGE, EARN

1) @ampsfun is a two-sided marketplace that lets users buy and sell engagement.

2) Our first engagement type, recasts, has been in active beta for a few weeks. Starting today, we’re expanding our offerings to allow users to buy and sell likes too.

3) Anyone registered for the waitlist with a Warpcast spam label of “2” (not spammy) is eligible to earn, but buying is limited to a small early access group at the moment. 

4) Recasts have a variable price set by the user. All likes have a flat fee of $0.50.

5) Users buy likes in bulk (eg 5, 10, 25, 50 likes) from their followers. Payment happens automatically, and receiving users get a notification that they were paid. 

If you get paid today, please feel free to take a screenshot of the notification and tag us @ampsfun. We love to help our users earn and want to hear about it.

Elevating onchain creators @brightmoments @ampsfun @nodefoundation

Tomorrow, @ampsfun will begin allowing users to buy and sell likes.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO EARN?

To earn USDC, you need to register via the frame: amps.fun/likes

WHO PAYS?

To start, a small group of beta testers will have the ability to buy likes from their followers.

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO EARN?

In the first few weeks since launch, top Amps users have earned several hundred dollars by selling recasts. We expect the addition of Likes to increase both volume and the number of unique users receiving payment. 

HOW MUCH IS A LIKE WORTH?

We’re setting a flat fee of $0.50 per like to start.

WHAT IF I WANT TO BUY LIKES

Right now we’re prioritizing early access users who have a budget for engagement. If this is you, send me a DM with a link to a cast you’d like to Amp.

BUY LIKES, EARN USDC

1) @ampsfun lets users buy and sell engagement 

2) To be eligible to earn $, you need to register via the frame below

3) When you register, people you follow can pay you for certain types of engagement (recasts, likes) 

4) Actions happen automatically, and USDC is deposited directly to your selected wallet

5) The frame is still in early access. Anyone can earn by registering, but we're limited purchasing to a beta group while we make the flow silky smooth for y'all 

Give it a shot!

RESTRICTING WITHOUT DELISTING

1) We now have over 10k registered signers for @ampsfun 

2) When you register, you allow people you follow to buy recasts from you at a fixed price

3) Sometimes, you may not want a specific follower buying and boosting your content, even if they’re willing to pay.

4) Now you can restrict specific followers from buying your recasts, without needing to unfollow them

We’ll keep shipping improvements to make buying and earning recasts on Amps even better.

PAY TO PLAY, NOT PAY TO PREY

When you register for @ampsfun, you agree to automatically recast content from your network for a price. 

But what about those topics that you don't want to share - at any price?

Our policy is simple: we believe in freedom of speech, not freedom of reach. 

You are welcome to post anything you'd like to the protocol. But if you want to use Amps, we have a terms of service and a moderation policy. 

If you try to boost anything that violates our terms, you'll be prevented from doing so. Over time we expect to have  more granular controls for users who want to fine-tune their preferences, but for now we're applying our best judgement to all casts.

This helps keep the platform working for everyone. Happy amping!

SORT BY PRICE

You can now sort your followers by price in @ampsfun.

This makes it easier to find people who are offering a great value for boosting your content.

Reminder: Amps is still in beta, so if you want access and have a budget to pay for increasing reach on Farcaster, shoot me a DM.

WHO CAN BUY A RECAST FROM ME USING @ampsfun?

+ When you register for @ampsfun, you determine how much it costs for others to buy a recast from you. 
+ To prevent spam, we've enforced a rule: only people you follow can buy a recast from you. 
+ This means you're only recasting content that you would see anyway

HOW AMPS WORKS

Amps users can pay their followers for recasts. This is especially helpful when you have a message that's so important you're willing to pay to get the word out. 

Algorithmic feeds use recasts as a strong signal when deciding what content to show a user. For example, this recent cast appeared in my feed because @jessepollak recasted it, despite the fact that I don't follow the @coinbasewallet account. 

What is a recast from Jesse worth? Amps answers that question by allowing users to set a price for their recasts. 

Markets are the main use case for crypto, and Farcaster is the best social protocol for this kind of peer-to-peer economy.

New in @ampsfun: see your lifetime earnings

Amps.fun allows you to buy recasts from your followers.

To get started, register using the frame. If someone selects you to recast their post, you’ll automatically get paid and receive a notification.

We’re currently testing the purchasing flows with increasingly larger groups. If you’re someone who has a budget for distribution and want to be an early user, send me a DM.

Why the waitlist for @ampsfun? 

1) Two-sided marketplaces have a cold start problem. 

2) Easier to solve for supply upfront b/c there are many people willing to test new frames atm.

3) As more users register, the frame becomes more useful for users who want to buy recasts. 

We've grown more quickly than planned, but I still want a few more turns to iron out flows before we open up full frame to everyone. If you're on waitlist, the best way to get access is to DM me with a message on your usecase (e.g. you have a budget to pay for distribution, either via a company account, product launch, etc)

WHAT’S IN YOUR WARPLET?

You can now update your wallet and recast price in the amps.fun frame.

We’re going to start rolling out early access soon, so make sure you’re registered to be eligible to receive that sweet sweet payout.

NOT ALL CONTENT MAKES THE CUT

1. @ampsfun now supports image recognition when evaluating cast content

2. Images that violate our standards are ineligible for boosting (e.g. this lovely example from our #1 user and favorite beta tester @warpcastadmin.eth)

3. This feature is just one of many safeguards we put in place that give our users peace of mind

JUST A TIP

1) Amps is now generally available for all users to purchase Likes.

2) Each like costs $0.50 & the USDC is sent directly to your followers.

3) You can buy packs of 5, 10, 25, or 50 likes at a time.

4) Buying Likes is a great way to boost initial engagement on a cast.

PRICE PER FOLLOWING

You can now sort by price/follower ratio in @ampsfun 

This helps you maximize reach while getting the best value possible for your money. 

We implemented this feature because there were lots of great accounts with prices higher than $1, but it was hard to find them with a simple sort.

AMPS FOR ALL

1) Starting tomorrow, anyone can buy recasts from their followers via @ampsfun 

2) If you're already registered, there's nothing more you need to do to be eligible to earn. Some users, like @tldr, have already earned hundreds of dollars by simply registering their profile and setting their recast price. 

3) If you're not registered, you can do so by visiting the miniapp. This will give people you follow the ability to buy likes and recasts from you for a fee. 

4) Our priority with this rollout is to expand the number of buyers and help our registered signers earn more. 

5) However, with more buyers comes bad actors. We have implemented several anti-spam measures to maintain quality. We'll be actively monitoring this week to make sure posts meet our quality standards and reacting quickly if we see something we don't like.
