Payout Models for Content Creators: A Sustainable Future

This post is part of the Farcaster 2026 writing contest. As Web3 evolves, so does the way creators are incentivized and rewarded. Imagine a future where every contributor – writers, marketers, developers, designers, and even readers – has clear, transparent access to earnings, fostering collaboration and engagement. That’s the vision we’ll explore how to design an equitable payout model for content creators while aligning stakeholders’ interests and rewarding active readers. Why a Well-Design...

Major Challenges with Blockchain: A Human Perspective

1. Lack of Trust Among UsersProblem: Explaining blockchain to users is like explaining Wi-Fi to your grandparents: "You can’t see it, but trust me—it’s working!" Yet, people still think you’re hiding something when you say, “It’s decentralized.” Solution: Build transparency tools, dashboards, and interfaces that scream "LOOK, IT’S LEGIT!" Or, better yet, make your blockchain do what humans can’t—like running reliably at 3 AM without drama.2. Lack of Financial ResourcesProblem: Developers ofte...

Elements of Web3

Web3 is the vision of a decentralized internet powered by blockchain technologies. It emphasizes user control, decentralization, and transparency. Below are the key elements of Web3:1. BlockchainDefinition: A decentralized, distributed ledger that records transactions in a tamper-proof manner.Purpose: Provides the foundation for Web3 by ensuring data is transparent, secure, and immutable.Examples: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Polkadot.Role in Web3:Acts as the backend infrastructure.Ensures trus...

The End of Gas Fee Woes? Exploring Account Abstraction

For anyone who has interacted with blockchain ecosystems, gas fees are a familiar pain point. These fees, paid to miners or validators for processing transactions, can fluctuate wildly, making blockchain usage unpredictable and expensive. Especially because of "Meme-Coins". But a new development called "account abstraction" is poised to alleviate this frustration and potentially revolutionize how we interact with blockchain systems. The Origins of Account AbstractionAccount abstraction has it...

From Controllers to Contracts: A Guide to Transitioning from MVC to Solidity

After an almost a 18 year background of PHP/Laravel development. Having been living the sweet life of MVC (Model-View-Controller) web development, happily juggling models, views, and controllers. Then, one day, you hear whispers of blockchain and smart contracts. Next thing you know, you’re staring at a Solidity file, asking yourself, “What fresh hell is this?” Fear not, dear developer! Here’s an infused guide to help you transition from MVC to Solidity and survive the experience.1. Forget Co...

Why you need to get Based, to Chain Away

Base Chain isn’t just another blockchain—it’s the blockchain where dreams meet decentralization, and your code lives forever (or until you self-destruct it). If you’re not building on Base Chain yet, you’re missing out on all the fun of gas optimization, mappings, and events that make Solidity the perfect companion to Base. Let’s explore why Base Chain is the ultimate playground for Solidity devs, with code snippets to keep it real.1. Linking Nodes Is Just Better on BaseRemember the old "LINK...

Protecting Solidity Code from Common Attacks

As decentralized applications (dApps) grow in popularity, ensuring the security of smart contracts written in Solidity is more critical than ever. Vulnerabilities in Solidity code can lead to severe consequences, including the loss of funds or exploitation by attackers. Lets look at some common attacks in Solidity and with examples and strategies to mitigate them.1. Reentrancy AttacksA reentrancy attack occurs when a smart contract calls an external contract, and the external contract makes a...

What was The DAO?

The DAO was a decentralized venture capital fund built on the Ethereum blockchain. It aimed to allow investors to fund projects without traditional intermediaries. Participants could use smart contracts to pool Ether (ETH) and vote on proposals, with profits distributed back to token holders. The DAO raised $150 million worth of ETH in one of the first large-scale Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), representing a significant portion of all ETH in circulation.The VulnerabilityThe DAO smart contrac...
