The new channel proposal enables channel legos - Channel owners have the freedom to mix and match tools and settings - Enables developers to build businesses at different parts of the channel stack, e.g. economic layer is now open season vs. current centralized channel pass model https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/8872c919-b41b-4a74-c2ef-fc928c508600/original

the permissionless channel proposal unlocks channel owner's ability to monetize their channel with advertising via a moderation rule that allows advertisers to pay for inclusion ad marketplaces that you can opt into just like that and monetize that sweet attention across every Farcaster client this is crazy shift

------------------

Was able to trick the ChatGPT desktop app into thinking my account was already whitelisted for desktop app use, by mitm intercepting and modifying the server response. Found the idea over on twitter: https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/103a0e78-5105-4607-73ee-f18c3623a300/original https://x.com/JosephTico/status/1790144744187691226

Kartik on Warpcast
------------------

As part of this we’re deprecating all custom feeds. We’ve found most people are using them as lists so instead we’re adding a lists feature that we can integrate throughout the app in a better and more performant way. There’s more to that, but I’ll leave that for tomorrow :) https://warpcast.com/slokh/0xf2c6197f

Love how I can be a part of this. Web3 governance experience is such a treat. Specially when you see great projects taking form, aligning with your own projects taking form. Onchain all season starts this summer. Im down! https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/abb1704d-296b-4857-faeb-301e6e5aa200/original

8\. **Ben Basche** offered a sardonic take on the superficially robust world of crypto valuations, where identity and perception often outweigh concrete metrics.

I think this form of protocol design is gonna pay long term dividends. You have a product layer (hopefully an increasingly diverse one) that pushes feature discovery forward and then the protocol can subsume and standardize product features over time https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x6557744a

You can boost or hide posts based on any token with /automod. Works for any erc-20, erc1155, or erc721 across 4 chains. Takes 1 min to setup and free for most channels. Here's an example of setting up autoboost for /kaloh's hypersubs. https://warpcast.com/jtgi/0x7e2d2bc0
