Here's a quick rundown of the top moments: 1\. Venkatesh Rao's insights on the true purpose of crypto drew significant engagement. His call for crypto to harden the commons resonated deeply. [ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ef9ecc32ba7ddffa2f9405edbd48a2aa.png) Farcaster Venkatesh Rao ☀️ on Warpcast ---------------------------- The “customer” of crypto is the commons. Not the state, investors, or corps. The product of crypto is a hardened commons. Tokens, global distributed computers, payment rails are just intermediates. If your thing isn’t ultimately about hardening the commons, especially against trad institutional failures and capture attempts, you’re just playing at building a weird theme park out of a particular type of Lego bricks. ](https://warpcast.com/vgr/0x663aa9b4) 2\. Lucas from POAP Studio offered rewards for data extraction from the /apple channel, enhancing engagement through gamification.

Especially non-crypto related. A link to a blog post in /engineering A song you think /electronic would find interesting. A long cast about your preferences for Japanese knives in /food. https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x01868d9d ](https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x2b4e4859) 16\.

Paying my tip allowance of 1000 degen for the best answer! @bountybot ](https://warpcast.com/pirosb3/0x03a13433) 17\. Vrypan.eth proposed the idea of Farcaster hubs making onchain attestations, stimulating developer interest. [ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d7016d171cdd040ea5707c953bc41a0d.png) Farcaster vrypan |--o--| on Warpcast -------------------------- This idea has been on my mind for too long: Farcaster hubs (or something running next to hubs) making onchain attestations about the Farcaster state. It's not trivial, because, why would you trust a random hub I just spun on my laptop. But things that have value happen on Farcaster and a trusted attestation could have value: How many followers I have. If I casted a degen tip. If I follow someone or someone follows me. Anyway, just leaving it here, in case someone smarter can make something useful out of it. :-) ](https://warpcast.com/vrypan.eth/0x821b1cc2) 18\.

Vrypan.eth's monthly BYTE magazine post added a nostalgic touch while suggesting a UI hack practice for regular updates. [ ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c411718e7da5f0036e04e3f9fc0012bf.png) Farcaster vrypan |--o--| on Warpcast -------------------------- Once a month since January, I've been scanning and posting to /techarchive the cover of BYTE magazine as it were 37 years ago. Each month, when I post a new one, I also link to the previous cast from a month ago, and I've found this to be a nice UI hack/practice: A reader can start from the newest one and hop to the previous one, then one back, and so on. If you're posting regular updates on something, it may be a good idea to do something similar. https://warpcast.com/vrypan.eth/0xd71724b5 ](https://warpcast.com/vrypan.eth/0x9e85bfe5) **Special Shoutout to New and Upcoming Users** A heartwarming welcome to Haniz.eth, who expressed feelings of invisibility on the platform.
