Today, thanks to the technology developed by @vocdoni, Esquerra Republicana, the ruling political party in Catalonia, is holding a direct democracy voting process to decide the future president of Catalonia. I am very proud that so many years of development and effort have culminated in a Web3-based product that is being used by the masses at a national level. The voting phase started 1.5 hours ago, and more than 30% of the electorate has already voted. The average citizen is using a Web3 voting system without even realizing it... This is, at least, remarkable, considering that much of the space is basically a crypto casino. This is just the beginning. The voting revolution is here 💪 🗳️

For June tipping, we're updating the algo to use social graph data instead of just engagement data. You still need 10k $DEGEN in your wallet, but no minimum posts are required. Rankings drop if you don't tip at least 5 times in the last 7 days. The algo will be updated on Tuesday.

We’ve made the tough decision to shut down the Once Upon block explorer and API. Thank you very much to everyone who used our products and supported us along the way. The core team will pivot and work on something new starting from a clean slate. We’ll be shipping new experiments in the coming weeks. Excited to share more soon.

I've definitely been slacking on my "1 cast per week" goal, so to make up for that, how about I do an AMA for the first time? Topics I won't reply to: trad crypto infra (L1, L2 etc), prices, or personal questions

Update: experiment was a success, power badge is no more in Warpcast! Active users saw no impact and new users benefitted from this change. Warpcast will remove power badges from the UI permanently. If you are a developer who uses Power Badge, @neynar will continue supporting the Power Badge API for you.

My hot take re "too much investment in infra": there's too much investment in *some kinds of infra* and not enough in others, and what's actually going on is, people want to invest in "the casino" but still feel good about themselves, so they invest in the subset of infra that gets spillover profits from the casino.
