Trying to be as transparent as possible about running a fully independent client. Happy to share almost anything people want to see for learning purposes

/glimmer /nook / prev: manifold.xyz opensea.io

Did you plan on monetizing the client anytime? If not, were you thinking of other forms of revenues?

a decade+ of consumer products | decentralized analytics: /intelligent | self exploration: /tanishq

We were planning on monetizing through transactions (mints, swaps, etc) in the short term

I see! thank you

Would also love to know estimate of cost you ran into while running the infra for nook!

~$2k/month. 50/50 for storage + services, we could have optimized it further to get it down.

I don't suggest running infra unless you really need to do something special, just use Neynar and save on those costs

Perfect! Thanks for all the info, Kartik. Very helpful!
