4. Degen Token Updates - Jacek from Base discusses the recent increase in Degen token holders.
1/5 On Base, we’re the 3rd largest token by wallet holders, trailing only USDC and WETH. Our recent distribution round has placed Degen in the hands and minds of nearly everyone on Base, and our reach extends beyond. The question now is: how do we build value for Degen holders? https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/b1e433f5-8eb2-48d3-06ca-dc4ebe6e9500/original

13. Farcast Condensed Introduction - Samuel Huber offers a beginner’s guide to Farcaster.
An easy to understand intro to Farcaster. Covers the protocol, warpcast, frames, actions and everything in between. Part of Web3Fest. Rerecorded due to bad audio (live version linked in description) huge thanks @bohredniels for hosting the conference https://youtu.be/jcSQ-Au0Hqs
14. Channel Moderation Tools - Jason Goldberg from Airstack explains their new Farcaster Channel Moderation tools.
Airstack recently launched Farcaster Channel Moderation Let me tell you why: 1. We believe that channels are the next big farcaster frontier and that community-owned and operated channels will be front and center. The protocol we are launching enables channel participants to co-own channels and derive numerous benefits from ownership, including feature access and revenue sharing. It enables anyone to permissionlessly build frames, actions, apps, and tools that make use of channel ownership -- at massive scale Jumping into channel tools now prepares us for that near future 2. Over the past couple years we've been building one of the most powerful Farcaster-focused onchain data sources, with particular emphasis on the abstraction layer: inferences from the data such as Social Capital. With Airstack you can Mod your channel on pretty much anything Farcaster, Ethereum, Base, Degen, Zora, POAP, and more... 3. We love building user-facing products and tools, frankly more than just providing the infra

17. Success Consistency Quote - Giuliano Giacaglia shares a motivational quote about consistency.
"“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.” - 🐐 Seems that this applies to founders as well
18. Preconfs and Shared Sequencing - EllieD discusses the distinct concepts of preconfirmations and shared sequencing.
Preconfs and shared sequencing are often talked about together, but they are two separate concepts. Shared sequencing (the umbrella based sequencing falls under) primarily aims to improve interoperability between chains. Preconfs aim to improve latency experienced by users. Preconfirmations can exist without shared sequencing (e.g. on Arbitrum today!) and shared sequencing can exist without preconfs (e.g. based sequencing with no preconfs).
19. 404-Less Website Engineering - Polluterofminds debates the feasibility of websites without 404 errors.
This is cool from a tech perspective but I don’t think many people are typing in full URLs to get to pages on someone’s site. They are searching or clicking links from other sources. https://pillser.com/engineering/2024-06-10-website-without-404s
