Farcaster’s Tumblr moment is here. The timeline has been reinvented. 💥💥 Introducing Feeds, the new miniapp from @procoin 💥💥 With an army of curators, we are taking power back from the algorithm and reshaping content consumption on Farcaster. What is a feed? In simple terms, it’s a collection of hand-curated casts, organized by theme or subject. In grander terms, it’s the early stages of a new distribution mechanism. Each feedcoin is tradable on a bonding curve, paired against $PRO. The flywheel propagates as more curators and investors come online. Every feedcoin buy is a PRO token sink. You the user and content consumer can invest in your favorite curator’s new distribution channel. They earn on every swap. Our tasteful and diligent curators have been crawling the timeline over the last week, building out their feeds. Check them out in the miniapp! Anyone can create a feed and curate it. All curation happens on the timeline with a simple tag of the procoin account. And creators — the original poster of each curated cast — share in the upside as well. Many of you have already been issued feedcoins in one feed or another by our curators. This is only the beginning… @noicebot distribute 10K $pro to all that like and recast. budget, 5M $pro https://procoin.app/feeds

we already have a group of dedicated curators and consumers who are genuinely enjoying using Feeds and would continue to use it if we stripped out the speculative component feels like an early spark of something special and the idea maze is buzzing hard for me

the initial $PRO launch was about gaining governance power within the farcaster protocol the token-voting approach we put forward at launch was not effective, because it didn't come with any economic leverage the goal with Feeds is to spawn a thousand new distribution channels, each with their own gravitational influence the curators behind these channels build their own audiences and build alignment with creators (via feedcoin issuance) as more users consume content via Feeds, we build economic leverage and thus governance power it's admittedly all kind of murky right now, but today's release is the first step in the direction we're headed

feeds miniapp came out really well excited to do the big launch next week one high level thing that i really like about it is that it solves a real non-financial problem, while also leaning into crypto-native speculation

We are days away from launching our Feeds miniapp which introduces a new curation primitive to Farcaster It’s not explicitly a trending feed but it solves for a lot of the same user needs around curated content Linking the whitepaper And there is a second relevant piece to this which we will share more on when ready https://farcaster.xyz/mjc716/0x9e334b68

Every time someone buys a feedcoin it's a $PRO token sink Every time someone buys $PRO in order to buy a feedcoin, it increases the dollar-denominated value of every other feedcoin

for a while i was of the opinion that using your token as a liquidity pair was a poor choice because of the reflexivity but I’ve come around to the opinion that using your token as a liquidity pair is a good choice because of the reflexivity

the feed kinda sucks now it’s not really merkle’s fault too many different kinds of content, not enough depth in any of them we’re proposing a legitimate solution read the whitepaper

the sweetspot for a financial primitive is: people making money in the service of other people creating value

Why is everyone pissed about the feed? And what can we do about it? 🔔 🔔 🔔 🔔 😡 📝 👙 🍲 🔔 🔔 🔔 🔔 A lot of people have been remarking recently that they’re not seeing the content they want to see on the home feed. At the core of this issue is that Farcaster is experiencing a “thirst trap” meta. Said another way, there’s a lot more multimedia lifestyle content now. As a share of total engagement, the old guard of nerdsniped text-based content is at an all time low. On top of this, Merkle may be intentionally boosting this kind of media content as a bridge to a forthcoming video pivot. Some of it is good content, some of it is superficial fluff. But overall it sometimes makes the feed harder to filter and parse. Before this shift, there was a feeling that you could open the feed and learn something from a curated network. Now the content feels scattered and fragmented in a way that can add mental overhead and detract from the experience. ___ Okay, time for the shill. We actually started working on the new @procoin release before people started hardcore hating on the feed. The core hypothesis of the new protocol and miniapp is that there is now quite a bit of really good content on Farcaster, spread across a wide variety of subjects. But there isn’t a great mechanism for people to discover it The Procoin Curation Protocol (PCP) proposes a new primitive called “Feedcoins” that incentivizes curators to curate the best content around their theme of choice. Enough creator tools! In light of recent feed changes — and even before them — we are in desperate need of better curation. We’re harnessing the speculative instinct of crypto to spark a curation renaissance. I’m attaching two recent posts I’ve written about the PCP, but if you’re short on time, it’s Friendtech meets Tumblr. We’ve already got a core community of early curators preparing their feeds in our groupchat for the upcoming launch. If you’re interested, reply here with the kind of subjects you like to curate around. https://farcaster.xyz/mjc716/0x3c2a8126 https://farcaster.xyz/mjc716/0x7700a1b1
