A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Protect web3 users from fraud, phishing, and hacks.

@blockaid is flagging our project as malicious (it’s not, you can read the contracts) and there’s no way to know why. This causes Coinbase wallet to effectively block the app.

Currently wondering:

- Who the fuck are they?
- What happened to permissionless

> Everything being truly permissionless was never a viable reality

For sure, I was def frustrated in the moment and intentionally leaving out nuance.

I do have an issue with Blockaid, though, as they are completely opaque. If they're gonna be an authority on safety, I expect transparency and open standards.

Instead, this is what you see when you try to view their docs. They're giving me real bad vibes.

Everything being truly permissionless was never a viable reality

It’s just unbundling and you get to pick the providers that bundle the stack the way you agree with

You still get to opt out, but lose distribution :/ 

More practically I’d ping CB Wallet directly — maybe someone on this platform can help?

"What happened to permissionless"
wow. new gatekeepers assemble.
That's stink man - feel ya, what a total "nothing but heat loss" BS PITA!

I appreciate the concern. I'm talking to them already, but the idea of wallets adopting this opaque trusted gatekeeper is not sitting right.

this must be super frustrating and discouraging. they apparently are a sponsor of eth denver so someone must know how to reach them

Sounds like over-self-regulation, frustrating for sure but a result of a probably well-intentioned idea

Hope it gets figured out quickly

What the fuck!! I mean it is coinbase after all. I've been trying to migrate out of it for a while, but it's such an easy onramp for me since I live in the states. I don't even know what to call the place. Maybe neo-permissionless, idk.
