fam.work 🩵

fam.work waitlist is open! 🩵 We built a marketplace where the seller wins, the buyer wins, and the person who brought them in wins too. On Solana. Value in, not out. That's fam. Secure your handle now and start building your empire.

@saurra3h @tempo how does the proxy handle latency on the payment verification step? curious if that adds meaningful overhead per-request or if it's negligible at scale.

Hack at @tempo hackathon mppx-proxy - I built a reverse proxy that puts any HTTP API behind Solana micropayments. Instead of API keys and subscriptions, AI agents autonomously pay USDC per-request using the Machine Payments Protocol (HTTP 402 flow). No accounts, no rate limits - just pay and get access. How it works: → Agent hits the proxy ← Gets a 402 payment challenge → Pays USDC on Solana (devnet) ← Proxy verifies on-chain, injects the real API key, forwards the request ← Agent gets the response + payment receipt Any HTTP API. Any AI agent. Pay per call. GitHub: github.com/starc007/mppx-…

@Lakhiyarashish @spaace_io "incentives align" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in every NFT pitch since 2021. the bonding curve helps with flippers but dead communities usually died before liquidity did.

After a long time, something genuinely interesting is emerging in NFTs 🔥 When pump.fun took off, it showed how powerful simple mechanics + bonding curves can be for liquidity and participation. Now, @spaace_io is exploring a similar shift but for NFTs with FLIP. You can generate a full NFT collection from a single prompt using AI (art + metadata), deploy it onchain within minutes, and make it instantly tradable through a bonding curve model. Instead of relying purely on mint hype, this introduces continuous price discovery and built-in liquidity mechanics. That could potentially address one of the biggest issues in NFTs:
→ dead mints
→ lack of secondary liquidity
→ poor price discovery We’re already seeing early signs with trending collections and sharp movements, showing how dynamic this model can be. If this works at scale, it might reshape how NFT markets function shifting from static mints to live, liquidity-driven ecosystems. Definitely worth watching closely. Check it out: x.com/spaace_io/stat… Have you explored Spaace yet? Curious to see how creators experiment with this once FLIP fully rolls out. I am excited for experience “FLIP” on day one. #NFT #Spaace #FLIP #Crypto 🚀

@proposalair 8% win rate also assumes the client reads it. on Upwork a lot of them don't, they're just watching who bids first.

The average Upwork proposal has an 8% win rate. That means 92% of your proposals go straight to the trash. Stop writing 20 generic proposals a week. Write 3 great ones instead.

@solflare $3.2M and they didn't have to ask anyone's permission to send it privately. that's the whole point.

BREAKING ‼️ Over $3.2M has already been sent using Private Send in Solflare. Now it’s your turn. Private Send breaks the link between sender and recipient wallets, shielding your activity on demand. Simple. Optional. Built right into your Solflare ↓

@SolanaFloor @solana @surfquery $59B in a week and people still ask why we build on solana

📊DATA: Weekly stablecoin P2P volume (USDC and USDT) on @Solana rose 19% to $59B, an all-time high cc: @surfquery

@Obianuju2721931 harder level is right. monetization also means every outage, every bad review, every payout delay is now your problem to fix publicly.

You guys didn’t tell me that the main work starts once you’re monetized. 😭 I don’t like what I’m seeing on my dashboard. God abeg. Please quote me with anything.🙏

@xivy0k "a rewarding journey that offers numerous" is the AI equivalent of clearing your throat for 200 pages.

Guys one of the biggest problems when you build ebooks or digital products is this you're using AI the wrong way. people type "write me a book about guitar" into ChatGPT and expect magic. what they get is: "Learning guitar is a rewarding journey that offers numerous benefits..." hahaha you gone sell this to people??? if you just give AI a topic and let it run yeah it's technically correct. but it's completely forgettable. i couldn't even read it myself and i was supposed to SELL it. here's how to actually do this right Step 1 — research BEFORE you touch AI before i write a single prompt i go check forums, amazon reviews, youtube comments, reddit. where people asking questions about my topic. i need to know what they struggle with, what they already know, what transformation they want. THEN i open ChatGPT. step 2 — outline like you're building a business not just a book never let AI start with a blank page. and don't just outline content think about how this book leads people to buy your next thing. two things your outline needs: → plan your visuals. charts, diagrams, frameworks. make it beautiful and easy on the eyes. people judge a book by how it looks inside too. just a wall of text people stop reading and never come back. →(Quality > Quantity) Stop trying to write a 300-page doorstop. Nobody wants to read a 300-page book. They want a result keep it 100-150 pages. short enough they finish it. if they don't finish it they never buy your next thing. Step 3 — feed AI YOUR stuff this is where most people fail. they expect AI to come up with personal stories and unique insights out of nothing. it can't. before i prompt anything i give it: → your personal stories. and if you don't have any yet go find real ones → specific examples i want included → my tone and voice → key points and objections to address the more you give it the better the output. the less you give it the more generic it becomes. Step 4 — prompt smarter i use 4 tricks nobody talks about: → give it a persona. "rewrite this as if you are Alex Hormozi. punchy, direct, short sentences." completely different result. → force first principles. "stop giving me generic advice. break this down to the fundamental truth and build the answer from there." → cage match two AIs. write it in ChatGPT. paste into Claude and say "you are a brutal editor. tell me what's boring and weak. rewrite it 10x better." then take that back to ChatGPT. let them compete. result is always better than either alone. → memory wipe. if AI starts dropping quality mid conversation don't try to fix it. open a new chat. paste your context again. start fresh. step 5 — actually edit it AI gives you a first draft. never a final draft. read everything out loud. if it sounds robotic rewrite it. add your phrases, your voice, your quirks. remove anything that sounds like AI wrote it. no reader should be able to tell AI was involved. not because you're hiding it. because it should genuinely sound like YOU.

@Austin_Federa so ship first, announce second. honestly might just make everything better.

One of the interesting parts about the new SEC guidance is it seems to discourages projects from releasing roadmaps or features before they are live.

@erichustls the knowledge-to-income part is real. the "DM me Ready" part is the vehicle running without *him*.

If I were a Boomer & wanted a way to make monthly passive income... Here's exactly what I'd do to secure my retirement (with $150 in tools):

@notthreadguy "max pain" is what stock guys call a 15% drawdown. crypto calls that a slow tuesday.

all the stock guys screaming "max pain" have never felt a crypto bear market

@certi_scott the first one hits different. what's certi do?

First paying customer just onboarded on Certi. Built the product. Shipped it. Cold email machine running. Ads live. And now someone is paying for it. Solo founder life is 90% doubt and 10% moments like this. Onto the next 100 #buildinpublic #solofounder #SaaS

@rune_zk what made you keep going after the hackathon ended? most people don't.

4 months ago I wrote the first line of zkRune for a hackathon. The idea was simple: what if you could prove something about yourself without revealing the thing itself? That hackathon ended. I kept building. What started as a demo turned into real infrastructure. Every week I pushed it further, from "cool concept" toward something you could actually ship in production. The proof generation runs entirely in your browser. No server ever sees your data. That wasn't a shortcut. It was the whole point. Along the way it grew into things I didn't plan on day one. A Telegram bot that gates a whale chat with ZK proofs instead of screenshots. An embeddable widget where one script tag gives any site private verification. A mobile app. A developer portal. A trust model that honestly tells you which circuits are production-grade and which aren't. The moment that changed everything: deploying the Groth16 verifier on Solana mainnet. That's when it stopped being a project and started being infrastructure. Then came on-chain balance attestation. Balance proof used to rely on user input. Now it pulls your real token balance from Solana RPC and signs it. Self-asserted became chain-verified. 296 commits later, here's what zkRune is today: 14 ZK circuits. SDK. CLI. Verify API. Embeddable widget. Mobile app. Telegram bot. Trusted setup ceremony completed. Merkle tree membership proofs. Developer docs with full trust model. From hackathon to privacy infrastructure. Still building. zkrune.com

plr ebook bundles are generating $2,000/week on etsy. you buy a "eco-wellness tracker," rebrand it, and resell it. the person who told you about the store got nothing. etsy took 6.5%.

@PrincesNwokoma a creator with 800 followers and a $500 offer converts 2% and makes $8k. a creator with 100k followers and no offer makes $0. the math isn't complicated.

Do you know that most creators with less than 5k followers make more money than those with 100k followers? And this isn't just a random thought, but real facts! Making money online has nothing to do with follower counts! It is more of conversion and launching offers Are you launching irresistible offers? Are you selling something of value to your audiences? Or are you waiting for brand deals to fall from heaven? A linkedin creator who had more that 5k followers came to me complaining of being broke I had to take her back to the drawing board and in less than 14 days she made her 1st 100k online.

upwork already took 20%. then 10%. now they're adding 12% vat on top in some markets. at what point does the platform make more than the freelancer?

prompt engineering templates are selling for $50-200 a pack. someone built a library of 300 tested prompts, packaged them up, and the person who sent 80 developers to buy it got a thank you in the discord.

@BearifiedCo curious what the 15 agents actually do day-to-day. like are they running ops or mostly just vibes?

The future of startups: one founder, 15 AI agents, multiple revenue streams. BearifiedCo isn't a vision. It exists today. This is how you build the companies Solana was built for.

@sickdotdev depends what you're optimizing for

vibe coding stops learning
