Trending Tokens We're making it easier to discover onchain activity. Warpcast notifies you when many Farcasters are buying a token onchain. Our goal is to make it easier to create and discover interesting tokens. Next up are social signals - who created this? what is it for? who else is holding this today?

Feels dangerous and something that might encourage upvote cartel type behavior. Could you apply plurality voting if some sort? Discount qyadratically by network correlation of buyers?

Are there things other than tokens in this pipeline? Bit depressing honestly to see Warpcast too become a degen party

I’m optimistic that tokens as an incentive mechanism and frames as an app layer will encourage some useful apps that use crypto to bootstrap and do something beyond speculation. So lots of focus on making tokens easier to discover, frames easier to use and connecting dots between the two to encourage interesting apps

So long as you eventually get to market making between the tokens we have in our wallets and ways to spend them If someone makes a degen powered Tetris frame, I’m happy to blow my degens on it. If one exists I don’t know where it is.
