[BRACKET AMBASSADOR] Want to break into Web3, earn while you learn, and become part of a fast-growing crypto project? The Bracket Ambassador Program might be exactly what you’re looking for. Here’s what makes it different 👇 🧵 🧵 1/8👇 https://t.co/oqynm9Sxhb

Farcaster has had its quiet stretches. But lately? It’s been heating up again. DAUs are up ~40% over six months. Pro sold out fast. Weekly rewards now top $29K. And the network just added Solana, Monad, and more. If you’re thinking of hopping back on, here’s what I’ve learned. Analysis by @davewardonline Breaking Back In Adapting to a new feed can be tough. But while the community’s tight-knit, it’s not closed off — growth just takes participation. Here’s what actually helps: Pick a niche. Focus on one topic and post a thoughtful, text-heavy cast daily. Think of it like mini-blogging. Don’t go it alone — rejoin with a few friends so you can engage with each other. Find others in your niche via channels or mini apps with social leaderboards. For me that’s /hyperliquid and /ponder, but there are channels well beyond crypto. → Sports? /bracket → Word puzzles? Mini Word, Framedl → Pop culture? /guiltypop → Fashion? /firefits Post frequently, but with structure. @dwr shared some helpful post tips: → Use short, compelling titles → Stick to 2–3 line paragraphs → Embed just one media item per cast Even with visuals, it’s still a text-first platform. Context helps. Video content’s also picking up — videos now surface in the Coinbase Wallet app’s video section. Engage a lot. Reply to people who comment on your casts. Don’t be stingy with likes — engagement compounds fast here. Beyond looking at those in your niche, when looking for people to jumpstart conversations — Keccers.eth, @0xmatthewb, @iambradq, @afrochicksnft, @GSkrovina, myself, and @wmpeaster — consistently engage with replies and others in a manner that makes the app feel more approachable. Just engage genuinely — don’t tag or share spammy content (e.g. endless GMs), or you’ll get flagged as spam. Mini Apps and the Return of Casual Fun What really brought me back were the mini apps. At first, it was theoretical — vibe coding, fast apps, software as content. But using them daily made me stick around. Peaster already posted a list of mini apps, but here are my go-tos: 1️⃣ @PonderOnBase — A prediction market where you bet on what the majority will vote. Fast, low-stakes, and fun. I use it most. 2️⃣ @KiwiNewsHQ — A Hacker News-style board curated by the community. Great reading recs. 3️⃣ @bankrbot — A terminal for the Bankr wallet assistant. You can tell it to “buy $10 of cbBTC with USDC.” 4️⃣ @noicedotso — Tip casters in ERC20s for each like, repost, or reply. 5️⃣ Crowdfund — Built by @seedclubhq, used for projects and donations. These mini apps feel like early iOS or Facebook apps — lightweight tools that make new forms of social play possible. They offer quick, fun, low-stakes interactions you dip into and move on from. It’s rare now, but refreshing. It also reflects Farcaster’s open-source ethos — where devs can ship fast, remix ideas, and launch weird little experiments directly into the feed. Build One Yourself If you want to build a mini app, now’s a great time. AI coding tools like Cursor, Replit, Windsurf, and @tryoharaAI make it easier than ever, even for non-coders. Ohara lets you deploy directly to Farcaster. Dev channels like /miniapps, /fcdevs, and /vibecoding are active. @farcaster_xyz gives weekly USDC rewards to top apps, and builders now get @zapper_fi dev credits too. If you ship something interesting, reach out (@robinson on Farcaster) — I feature new projects regularly in Mindshare, where we spotlight AI apps and vibe-coded experiments. A Different Kind of Feed Overall, since returning to Farcaster, I've actively noticed my attention span lengthening. While it can be a little gauche to bag on Twitter’s doom and gloom endlessly, there’s certainly truth to it. For me, a nonzero part of Farcaster’s personal PMF comes from offering this reprieve, as well as surfacing subjects of a far greater variety than I’d ever hope to be served on Twitter. Bluesky’s growth shows this isn’t isolated. There’s real demand for alternative social networks. Will Farcaster break through? Hard to say. But there’s momentum here — something beyond DAUs or transaction counts. For me, and plenty of others, it’s enough to keep coming back. Thanks to @tednotlasso and Peaster for feedback!

It’s time for Island Brawl! 🏝️ 16 teams from the top communities in crypto have been chosen for the bracket. - 50,000 Blooms go to the winning community for each round won. - Winning team advances in the Island Brawl Bracket - First matches live-streamed this Saturday at 3PM ET.

We’ve given some thought to digesting the results of our “Asking for a friend” polls. While it’s clear that the community believes the ADA price should be factored into withdrawal amounts for approved proposals, it is inconclusive on what the preferred method of withdrawal should be. As mentioned, this actually is a good signal for the ecosystem since it reflects the community’s earnest desire for accountability and commitment to strengthening Cardano. Thus, we’d like to share some of our opinions on this matter and hopefully bring up some other tidbits that the community may have overlooked or not taken into account when voting. The withdrawal method garnering the most votes was conducting 39 separate ones (one for each approved budget proposal). On the surface, this seems like a rather straightforward process. However, it’s not as simple as that. In fact, submitting 39 separate governance actions to approve every single withdrawal would prove to be very burdensome and costly, requiring 3.9 million ADA in deposits, slowing funding for vendors, and bogging down Cardano’s overall governance processes with the amount of additional responsibilities placed on Intersect and the ICC. Looking at the second most voted option—withdrawals batched by proposal category—may prove to be more balanced, manageable, and efficient from a time and resource perspective. It can strike a middle ground between upholding the community’s wishes for more oversight while avoiding additional administrative processes that can stall necessary funding to approved budget vendors. So, with these considerations in mind, we’d like to “Ask for a friend” again: ❓ Should Treasury Withdrawals work using a batched method? (either grouped by category or by Ekklesia bracket)

Our CEO, @ElliotMeijer, will be joining Bracket Finance’s upcoming X Space on June 5 to discuss Building Crypto Ventures in 2025: Institutional vs Retail Expectations.Only a few teams are actually building in the direction that smart capital is already eyeing, which is something we’ve been focusing on for years.

Trump Seeks Tax Increase on Wealthy Individuals Earning Over $2.5 Million Annually According to sources, U.S. President Trump is pushing to raise tax rates for some of the wealthiest Americans to offset other tax cuts in his signature economic plan. Trump's proposal calls for a new 39.6% tax bracket for individuals with annual incomes of at least $2.5 million or couples earning $5 million. If approved by Congress, this would raise the top tax rate to the level before Trump's 2017 tax cuts. The current top individual tax rate is 37%. Trump made this request during a phone call with House Speaker Johnson on Wednesday and also reiterated his desire to eliminate the carried interest tax benefits enjoyed by venture capital and private equity fund managers.
