gm,
before we start:
1) We launched Hyde Park-like daily discussion threads. So if you want to chat with our community, you're free to join us! You can find today's thread here.
2) Friendly reminder about our new writing contest, "Farcaster 2026". We organize it together with Purple, and it has a 2 ETH prize pool. You can read more here, and check the submissions in our app (just click on the Farcaster contest banner).
