Degen

People used to tip me in Degen, but now they tip me in Farther or Ham or other random things like that. I’m still learning what this stuff means but is there a particular reason for such shifts? Curious.

The tipping meta here is constantly evolving. Degen is currently the dominant project, and the way they have allocated their tips to participants has evolved over time. They just moved from a largely proof of work model (a social score was used to calculate allowance allocation)  to a proof of stake (you have to stake degen in a vault for the majority of the allowance allocation). So people who weren't able to afford staking degen have had to move on to other tokens. It is a large ecosystem, as you have learned, and there are plenty of different models out there to play with.
