A lot harder to add a social network to your trading app than trading to your social app.

Over time, financial products become social & social products become financial https://x.com/robinhoodapp/status/1965589746937446623?s=46&t=cgGzF2JBgIxcU6bXp88iZQ

interesting fc does not mark this morpho cast as an ad but tba does also the casts are different. cast itself is the same but the image is subtly different different app publisher different $ values how’s this happen? would love to learn more

honestly, we're thrilled with the love @choochoo is receiving so far 🚂💨 huge thanks to @jonbray.eth for bringing my artwork to life in such a fun and magical way, and big shoutout to @garrett for making it all happen behind the scenes, coordinating everything and sparking ideas along the way. excited to see the train roll through many more stations. you're free now, choo-choo…enjoy the ride.

I'm sure the forthcoming AI device will have similar levels of engineering. Run-of-the-mill stuff, you know?

Sure, happy to address this absolute mess. I announced a CTO of Circus a few weeks back. We handed over the project to a team we had worked with for a couple of months who successfully closed deals with some KOLs, managed launches, community engagement, etc. I met with their dev, who also came across as a reasonably knowledgeable guy. These were people we spoke to on a daily basis via either Telegram or voice. We didn’t have any reason to consider this team untrustworthy. If anything they were eager to make the project succeed. A CTO is just that, a take over. The deal was that we would provide them with the LP tokens and would keep paying for the infra while we transitioned the code to their team. In return, they would keep the project going, grow it, and give it new life where we couldn’t. They continually dragged the launch date out further and further but kept us in the loop constantly. We were even going to help them with some of the configurations for the launch. With the intention to use the Circus Launchpad. The other night, the lead guy started threatening me. Trying to squeeze me for money. He sent me pics of my family and made several threats I would consider severe. The following day, he apologized for “crashing out” and went on to continue planning the launch, which was meant to be this week. At approximately 23:30 CEST I start getting messages about a rug that occurred and tweets from the Circus social accounts, which we had turned over weeks ago. Probably the worst possible outcome imaginable and I am still getting all the facts myself. Very frustrating, especially when I’m not at my desk and able to handle things appropriately.

just fixed a crucial UI issue for trading content coins on @baseapp.base.eth we removed the $ equivalent in the trade widget → way smoother now update your app & try it rn

Looking for beta testers for token alerts. A new feature which lets you get alerts when people you know trade or when tokens reach specific price targets. Reply if you're interested in testing this out!

worst colors of all time for iPhone Pro

Basecamp schedule out (on Twitter 🤔) looking forward to seeing fellow campers next week! https://x.com/base/status/1965099203472109963?s=46&t=N80rptBytKhSU-csz4Akrg

⏳ Get ready for a rewards upgrade. We're soon rolling out something much bigger than weekly ETH drops. To ship it, we're temporarily pausing the current weekly ETH rewards distributions, effective today. Your dedication and all the Points you've farmed are about to pay off. What comes next is built for you. A sneak peek at what we are cooking: • Rewards distributed in real time • Everyone gets rewards not just top 1000 • Rewards denominated in $████ The wait is almost over. Phase 3 is upon us. https://x.com/rainbowdotme/status/1803177579932950946

wowww the new apple airpods pro has real-time two-way translation. translates what you’re hearing into your native language directly in-ear. and translates what you’re saying into theirs via text on your iphone. insanely useful.

We have a bug with some prices showing up higher than expected in the UI. Funds are safe, will fix this shortly.

** Rewards Leaderboard Results ** It's @bertwurst.eth & his Ladies! ... oh, and @pugson 😆 ... * While it feels like 'all the names are the same,' that's not the case for some each week: @samantha at #2 is not typical, she's usually not in the top 10 and what better use of Rewards than funding Humankind? * Also @0ffline #6 and @triumph #7 is not typical, though they've both been up there before. * Downleaderboard @jacy at #18 strikes me as her highest ever; @amethystaura debut in top 30 at #20; & @frametheglobe & @drivenbyboredom first entry into the top 30 at #24 & #29 * Meme-coveted #69 goes to Boston pedicab @mxjxn * Been seeing more first-timers the last couple weeks, so keep an eye out to celebrate 🎈

Base products (including the @baseapp.base.eth are not impacted by the recent npm supply chain attack. All systems remain secure and funds are safe.

This is SO FUN! 🐶 go watch how this was made and then collect on @tortoise-on-fc - you crushed this one @supertightwoody (@bertwurst.eth you gotta hear this!) https://tortoise.studio/song/my-dogs

Every year, the first glimpse of the 9/11 remembrance lights stops me in my tracks. A powerful reminder etched into the sky spotted tonight on my walk home from yoga class.

During class tonight, we launched the Extra Credit $xtra token which I'll be using during the rest of the semester as a way to demonstrate some tokenomics and allow for them to see a token from creation on. This was done as part of a lecture on tokenomics and review of clanker as a lead up to a tokenomics project they have. (they will develop a concept for their own token). I'll be using this as a reward for students during the class. We did do a 30% 30 day lockup. Most of this will be burned with some distributed to holders. In terms of what else we'll be doing with this token, I'll keep you posted. But this primarily will be used as a teaching tool and fees will cover funds I send to the students. (I've already given them .005 eth each plus some usdc to use during the class for various assignments). I'll also be incorporating this token into Noice for tipping of students who interact on Farcaster. Just giving everyone a heads up on the plans for this token.

Security Update: NPM QIX attack 1. If you're using the Farcaster app on web or mobile, you are safe. 2. If you're using a Farcaster miniapp, be cautious unless the developer has confirmed it's safe. Reject any transactions from miniapps you don’t fully understand. What happened? An attacker took over an NPM developer's account and replaced packages with malicious versions. These low-level, open-source components are used by many apps, including popular crypto wallets. Any app that updates these packages today may load the malicious code, which can propose dangerous transactions to users. The Farcaster app uses some of these packages, but we have confirmed we haven’t updated them since the attack. It's therefore safe to use our app. Farcaster miniapps could have been affected. If a miniapp is impacted, it may propose a dangerous transaction. Our security scanning should catch most of these, and even if something slips through, you’ll see a transaction preview to review and reject. If you’re using a miniapp, it’s important to read the details and accept only transactions you understand.

1/ You may have seen reports of today’s npm supply chain attack. @privy is not impacted – none of the compromised packages are part of our direct dependencies. Our security team has also created a script for others to scan their own code bases.

summary of today's NPM compromise, vulnerable package versions, and action items for devs here, from @andrewmohawk at Privy. if your app uses NPM (includes mini apps), please check your dependencies. https://x.com/AndrewMohawk/status/1965116722375209305 https://x.com/AndrewMohawk/status/1965117607750881561

I’m joining the CityKids Foundation as part-time Director of Emerging Tech & Digital Programs. I’ve loved advising this team for years, and now I’ll help lead the strategy for a vision that belongs onchain: CityKids Speak on Liberty , Keith Haring’s largest work, created with 1,000 kids in the 80s. 90 feet tall. A living, breathing work of Artivism. Known as the people’s masterpiece, it has toured the U.S. and once stood behind Paul McCartney at the Super Bowl. We’ve recently uncovered a vault of never-before-seen footage of Keith and the kids creating the banner, now being developed into a documentary for the 2026 festival circuit. I’m beginning conversations with marketplaces, chains, funders, partners, and auction houses. Let’s chat!
