One application of AI that I am excited about is AI-assisted formal verification of code and bug finding. Right now ethereum's biggest technical risk probably is bugs in code, and anything that could significantly change the game on that would be amazing.

Not gonna lie... I thought FT was going to fall off after a month I seriously UNDERESTIMATED the power of its airdrop program Here's why I think FT's airdrop design will become the DE FACTO standard moving forward --------------------------------------------------------- FT's PERFORMANCE FT is the latest Web 3 social platform that's making a buzz over the past month Contrasting other Web 3 platforms that have historically faced challenges in user acquisition & revenue generation, FT has achieved impressive numbers in the short month it has launched: • Onboarded 200K users • Facilitated $237M trading volume, equivalent to 60% of NFT trading volume • Generated $23M in protocol fees, ranking it the 6th highest fee-generating platform over the past 30 days • 30% of users retained on the app after 30 days, which @a16z categorizes as great retention performance FT's meteoric rise can be attributed to various factors e.g. it being a PWA, support for speculative behaviour & more But I believe it's airdrop model stands out as a significant driver of its success --------------------------------------------------------- THE GOLDEN STANDARD FOR AIRDROPS Specifics of FT's model: • Every Friday for a span of six months, 100,000,000 points, or approximately 3.45 million points every week, are distributed to users • These points, accumulated off-chain during the beta phase, will have a “special purpose” when the app enters official release status – strongly hinting at a token airdrop • Point allocation criteria change weekly Point-based Airdrop Program: Contrary to retroactive airdrops or those that instantly disburse tokens, upcoming airdrops should use a points-based model The most significant advantage of the points model is that it delays the token distribution, akin to a cliff mechanism It engages users while gathering user feedback and key usage metrics before the token launch Consequently, when the token does launch, it does so with several advantages: a more mature product, an elevated valuation, and an additional catalyst to propel its lifecycle forward Motivational Elements: FT's points-based model contains characteristics proven effective to be motivating and engaging, such as Locke & Latham's goal-setting theory Admittedly, it may be too early to conclude FT's program a success, given that we're only a month in & there's 5 more to go However, we can look to Blur's airdrop program, which is highly similar (& @paradigm-backed like FT) --------------------------------------------------------- COMPARING TO BLUR'S AIRDROP Despite community complaints, @opensea's dominance is indisputable - owning 94% of market share at its peak & maintaining > 60% even with the emergence of decentralized rivals such as @looksrare & @the_x2y2 No other NFT marketplace really stood a chance at dethroning OpenSea, that is until @blur_io Without diving into the specifics of their airdrop in this tweet, Blur's airdrop is highly similar to FT's as it contained the motivational elements listed above & participants also accrued points through usage The points are then used to redeem "care packages" of randomized rarity, containing varying amounts of $BLUR tokens Performance of Season 1 Airdrop: Season 1 ended on 14th Feb 2023 & 360M $BLUR tokens / 12% of total supply were distributed. Based on its launch price, an estimated $234 million was allocated to the Season 1 airdrop. While $234 million may initially appear substantial, it's noteworthy that this investment enabled Blur to consistently surpass OpenSea since December 2022 & own over 70% of the market share at this point Dethroning OpenSea was attempted by many, but none has ever come close to doing so. Contrasing LooksRare's $207 million airdrop program which only bought them an 11% market share at its peak, Blur's $234 million campaign is a resounding success Performance of Season 2 Airdrop: Alongside Season 1’s conclusion and success, Blur unveiled Season 2 promising to distribute an additional 300+ million $BLUR tokens. Thanks to the lucrative prospects of the previous season, it ensured a surge in activity on Blur, resulting in an 80% market share at its peak. On 1st May 2023, the Blur team also released Blend, a peer-to-peer lending protocol accepting NFTs as collateral. Now, lending activities also accrued points toward Season 2 airdrop. No surprises, Blend also dethroned NFTFi and became the no. 1 NFT lending platform in terms of volume Now: Today, both Blur and Blend stand as unparalleled leaders in their respective sectors, commanding market shares of over 60% & 95% Without question, Blur's team has demonstrated excellence in crafting top-tier products for NFT traders with a professional trading user interface and doing away with trading fees. This isn't to overshadow their efforts but rather to highlight the pivotal role their airdrop program played, which I firmly believe significantly propelled Blur and Blend's meteoric rise Ultimately, airdrop programs aren't magical panaceas for mediocre products, nor able to ensure long-term user retention post-airdrop. But, they serve as a powerful catalyst supporting exceptional products, amplifying their visibility and equipping them with a competitive edge to seize and maintain market share --------------------------------------------------------- BLUEPRINT FOR A SUCCESSFUL AIRDROP TO CONSIDER Through FriendTech’s airdrop program, I laid the case for essential attributes of a successful airdrop program and substantiated it with the success of Blur, which had a similar airdrop program that was pivotal in helping them dethrone OpenSea and NFTFi Analyzing Blur's program also highlighted the value of dividing the entire airdrop allocation into several smaller drops to maintain user engagement. This was evident in the surge of user activity with every new airdrop announcement. In summary, for the builders that are designing their airdrop model, here are the final design considerations for a successful airdrop program: If you're looking to launch an airdrop program, feel free to reach out!

This is not being talked about enough - @etherscan just added advanced filtering to their site. This will make reading on-chain data much easier and much more powerful. Here's a simple guide on how to use this new feature 🧵:

This is unprecedented humiliation for the @federalreserve. Just 2 hours earlier, Powell said US banking system is "sound and resilient", seemingly unaware that yet another of the largest California banks was teetering on the edge. How is this level of incompetence possible

Ok, I am gonna say it loud: ERC-20's `approve` function is a bug and not a feature. Besides horribly breaking the UX, it poses a serious security risk since you essentially delegate the proper risk management to a spender account. Approve does break trustlessness in bad ways imho

@donnelly_brent Fair enough, USD as % world FX reserves did rebound after the '12 Eurozone crisis - snatching share from mainly EUR

@donnelly_brent From a medium-of-exchange angle, the chart is less about de-dollarization but more about CNY-internationalization at the expense of EUR and JPY. De-dollarization is happening more on the store-of-value front: with decreasing share of USD as world FX reserves (IMF COFER data)

There is no dedollarization happening. At all. Here are the major currencies' share of global transactions since 1989.
