I came across a place that made ravioli pizza aka little raviolis as a pizza topping and didn't send the photo to the resident Italian @pirosb3 because that would be too cruel
"big if true" really is the Perfect Statement on anything. if a j*urnalist ever needs a comment from me, this is it. in fact, you can go ahead and just print it now
Anyone got ideas/requests for this app? It seems it was fun enough to build on yesterday that I may continue enjoying it today. Also, I am taking pool requests - the next pair is almost certainly going to be $CLANKER, but beyond that I don't have specific plans. The best part of all this is that nobody needs my permission to earn by routing trades to this token. Just setup whatever pool you like, with whatever fee you like, and the arbitrage bots will use it when it's the best deal they can get. And when that happens, you earn. Or if $ARBME appreciates, you earn. Or if the pair token appreciates, you earn. None of it involves me paying you or the protocol paying you or staking anything. So from my standpoint, the simplicity is the point, the goal, the concept. This ArbMe project involves one very easy, very simple concept: a token designed to LP against other tokens, wherever they happen to be. One thing we could do from here is bridge $ARBME throughout EVMland, to Solana, to Cosmos. There are products like SquidRouter that allow for rapid cross-chain swaps as long as liquidity against major tokens exists in both locations. So my head naturally goes to making $ARBME a unique product in a class of its own - a sort of mercenary DeFi support token, liquidity as a means to stabilize prices on the markets. There are a lot of possibilities around this general conceptual space, and I'd be more than happy to have a public conversation about any of them here with anyone. I have maybe another hour free, AMA?
btw I got blocked by chat gpt like 10 times trying to make this image, pretty sure they added me to some kind of Watchlist
Great read from @jonathancolton that’s a sober take on where Farcaster is today. He provides a good framing for anyone building on Farcaster and spending significant time on the network. I like the finite vs infinite framing. Farcaster app is playing the finite game while Farcaster protocol is playing the infinite game. Finite games chase scale early. Infinite games deepen capability first. From my view, the Merkle team is not actually playing both games (or rather they’ve decided to pause their active participation in the infinite game). Vast majority of users and builders understand the wallet-first direction for the app but the issue is that this has come at the expense of any true stewardship of the protocol to improve it by further decentralizing it or at least making it easier to build on. The most puzzling thing to me is that we’ve heard to Merkle team say that they believe that significant growth could come from a new app/client onboarding new users to the Farcaster network yet they don’t care to help steward the protocol in a way that wides the opportunity for this to actually happen. I love this network and I’ve made it my home on the internet over the last couple years. I hope that it continues to grow and improve at both the app and protocol levels.
