felt this a bit while building @alchemyplatform's university program

people were farming our Proof of Knowledge tutorial badges 😮‍💨

can you say more about that early AU experiment?

One guy became a DevRel, another a community lead, another a multiple hackathon winner, I got my first job in web3.

Do you think stronger anti-farming would have hurt anyone? or helped anyone? any tech you would use (eg, GC Passport, Worldcoin)?

oh yeah i think overall it was a good direction to build towards regardless — i loved helping people who really wanted to lvl up ❤️

but the point @linda was making about the overall metrics being misleading and potentially tricking companies into over investing resonates

I build web3's most powerful referral link @deform

for example, as signups to alchemy spiked, we had to decide between adding signup friction (anti-sybil) vs letting in low intent RPC users

on the one hand it’s exciting for the numbers to go up, on the other — how much should we really be spending on cleaning up data and accounts when most are barely real users?
