how might I streamline weekly build updates in /the-arena, /base-builds, and replying to dwr’s question about what we built this week? I think the separate experimentation with rules and financialization or the lack thereof is good, but I’d like to follow a best practice. must I pick my tribe?

when testnet faucets require that you have ETH on mainnet or base mainnet, it's a pain for contract devs setting up new company deployer wallets maybe instead they could require that you complete specific testnet transactions to prevent spam

building something 🆕 with the /onceupon team this week we built out the protocol and app for betting on onchain outcomes (see video) excuse the rough edges design-wise - this week was all about functionality aiming to launch this for a real onchain outcome on /base 🔜

here's the end result for the uniswap example, where we were able to directly use the build artifacts from node_modules

a nice easter egg feature for builders on warpcast would be backtick code highlighting like in slack and notion `myFunction`

to test a new contract under development and an old contract with a solidity version older than forge supports (without using fork tests): deploy the bytecode of the old contract using assembly in the test file. uniswap v2 makes forge test and forge script sad, but this fixes it.

if you’re trying to use vm.readFile and it isn’t working, you need this in your foundry.toml: fs_permissions = [{ access = "read", path = "./"}] h/t @jomessin for figuring this out

very basic but useful learning from this week: if you're trying out a new smart contract write function you just built, and it doesn't work, try it again with more gas

building /onceupon this week we made a hard choice, and we shut down products we've shipped in the past: the block explorer and the api. i think this counts as a form of shipping. https://warpcast.com/jomessin/0x1499f992
