“Traditionally, most faucets require social authentication and significantly limit the amount of testnet funds that can be obtained per day to prevent sybil-attacks. The Superchain faucet allows developers to authenticate via their onchain identity in addition to social authentication via GitHub. Developers that choose to authenticate via their onchain identity can claim 20 times more testnet ETH compared to traditional faucets.”

Some context on faucet iterations:

Account Verifications (Beta 2) 

Verify your phone number and social accounts easily from Settings > Verifications. We now support Github, Discord and LinkedIn. 

Accounts with more verifications will be more likely to get airdrops, rewards and boosts in the feed.

We shipped the Superchain Faucet about 1.5 years ago and used a mix of social and onchain auth (cb verifications, worldid) to create sybil resistance for testnet eth distribution

Since then notable teams like Talent and FC are also took a similar approach to create some sybil resistance.

How long until we see a LiFi / Socket for reputation primitives? (verify once and take with you)

congrats! can i add this as a testimonial to earnwith.xyz?

Just added a testimonials section to EarnWith.xyz - if you have or see a testimonial that should be added please tag me (zainbacchus on Twitter) and I'll ask the creator if I can add it to this website!

Thinking about how to turn this mkting website into a product and exploring covering sign up fees and using an income share agreement like frame to recoup sign up cost - have a leaky funnel though any idea how to address?

- User clicks get Free account
- Agree to terms re ISA (will pay for sign up fee + x% of weekly rewards until sign up + $1 is returned) 
- User is provided an invite code to sign up 
- After sign up how do I get the user to install the ISA Frame? 🫨

Yeah I churned out a few months back but seeing the built-in wallet made me come back - excited to see more types of experimentation here wrt  permissionless markets and social

@ampsfun is the first app to nerdsnipe me in a while because it perfectly leverages and builds upon existing Farcaster network effects. 

Farcaster already thrives on content sharing and amplification. Amps doesn't try to create new user behaviors—it monetizes actions that users already perform naturally.

By doing so, Amps establishes a few self-reinforcing growth loops:

Creators: Creators who pay for distribution → Reach new audiences → Gain followers → Create more content → Have larger budgets for distribution

Readers: Readers who earn from recasting → Are motivated to grow their audiences → Attract more followers → Command higher recast prices → Attract better creator content

This model is particularly compelling because it transforms what was previously a social transaction (sharing content) into an economic one without disrupting the core user experience.

LMK if this helps!

One thing I think that could help make this even stronger than it already is:

When I click get started I go to homepage—But I wish I went through a flow that further explained things a bit more and only then prompted me to signup.

The explanation could be testimonials or examples of people making bank on fc

And segmented USD volume between Fee Vault and how much is being paid to users. 

(spoiler alert while most marketplaces are taking 30%+, Amps.fun is driving 97.5% of USDC back to users)
