#ProductClank seems kind of overwhelming with so many knobs you can tweak. I’d use ProductClawd their LLM the first time. It can set up my campaign and get it going quickly - can tweak it later. #BorrowDistribution @productclank

Ah no, that’s just for rewards. You can cash out your cut of the interaction with # SovAds.

Right now, using “private crypto” usually feels like using a completely different system. You have to wrap tokens, move liquidity into separate pools, learn new flows, and suddenly the experience becomes more complicated than it should be. That friction is one of the biggest reasons privacy tools haven’t gone mainstream. The dual-mode stablecoin idea is interesting because it keeps things simple: the same USDC or stablecoin can exist in both public and private mode. No separate wrapped token. No fragmented liquidity. No leaving the apps you already use. You just toggle between public and shielded balances depending on the situation. Maybe you want a normal public transaction. Maybe you want to privately pay salaries, move treasury funds, or avoid exposing your wallet balance to everyone online. Privacy becomes a feature you turn on when needed, not a completely separate experience. Feels like the kind of UX crypto actually needs, and it’s the direction @fhenix is pushing with encrypted infrastructure for Ethereum.
what if you could pay for your next doordash order with shielded stablecoins?

Only 36 hours left until S2 ends on Turbo Gum⏳ 📸Shapshot not done yet! Very soon you will be able to receive your S2 rewards! Prize pool of $157 (we’re talking THREE figures😁) Split between the top 50 collectors! Top 100 - participation mark + a secret card Your activity across every season will be rewarded! I'm super meticulous and I genuinely value my community🫂 Maybe it's a bit early, but let's do some early Season 2 numbers: >300+ unique players >3,146 gums bought >3 weeks in a row in the top apps on Base App It seems that the earnings from the game this season will be enough to cover my expenses for AI🙃 Real talk - I can't keep up with everything, but I'm giving it all I've got. Feels like I took on a bit too much… Sorry in advance for the bugs, lags and whatever else is coming - they will happen, no way around it. Just friendly reminder - I save a snapshot of every season (top 100 players)😉 Genuinely happy to be building on Base💙

Have you already seen the notification in the Base App? There are only 3 days left until Season 2 ends! The rules are still the same: finish in the top 100 and make at least one transaction (check-in or buy) to receive the S2 participation badge. Finish in the top 50 and claim your share of the prize pool. This season, our community has doubled, and the prize pool is 2x bigger! The current prize pool is $115! I’m keeping a close eye on all players - I have snapshots from every season, and consistency will be rewarded. What’s new? >New tab: Magazines. You can now open and read your NFT magazine there. The magazine will have a limited edition, 3 type of rarity and can be traded on @opensea (and someone will get it completely free) I’m currently looking for a way to enable minting directly inside the app. At the same time, I’m working on S3, and I’ll most likely launch the magazine alongside it. I can’t wait to show it to you! >Added Base App notifications, so you’ll never miss a new quiz. >The navbar now has a liquid glass look, and it looks especially good on iPhone😉 S2 is ending soon, and no one has completed the full base card collection yet, so I’ve increased the drop rates for legendary and epic cards. I’ll also give 5 USDC each to the first 3 players who collect 95 base cards! Thank you for being here and taking part. Keep sharing your feedback and thoughts on the game - I truly appreciate your support💙 Even though we dropped 9 spots on the leaderboard, we’re still a real community of car lovers🚥 A little sneak peek from S3:

Turbo Gum at 28th place on Base App leaderboard this week📈 Slow but we're moving. Prize pool is sitting at $95 and gets split between top 50 collectors. Getting in is easier than it sounds: do the weekly quiz, check in daily (7+ days streak = 2 packs per day) Invite your friends or write posts about the game. That's literally it! Worked on a lot this week, here's what's new: >NFT magazine mint is coming to the app. -3 rarity tiers, -tradeable on OpenSea, -real in-game utility, -limited supply, -S1 OGs get early advantage. i put real effort into this one and honestly really happy with how it turned out, watch the clip below👇 >Weekly quiz #2 is still going, every single week without breaks. answer questions, get free packs. simple as that >Craft system rework: no more duplicates. every craft now gives you a car you don't have yet, within its tier. completing a full collection just got actually possible. and i genuinely respect true collectors<😉 >Rewards modal got a full rework, top 3 can now claim their prize directly in the app, no waiting on me to send it manually. (also i'm the founder, don't count me in the leaderboard lol) >Leaderboard avatars: every player now has a profile pic. small thing but it makes the whole thing feel much more alive >Fixed some old bugs, added some new ones😆 if you spot anything broken, let me know and i'll add packs to your account, feedback matters a lot to me! 12 days left in S2. Time flies when you actually love what you're doing everyone who's been posting about Turbo Gum on X, i see you,every post, gum gets added to your account manually by me. Keep it coming, anyone can do it🙏 Base App: base.app/app/turbo-gum.xyz Web: turbo-gum.xyz/?ref=T3UPJ9L2

Turbo Gum is now fully adapted for desktop🖥️ I spent the entire week building the web version of the game. It’s now optimized for wide screens, the UI looks great, and you can play directly in your browser. Don’t believe it? Take a look yourself👀 16 days left until the end of Season 2. What’s new: - Consistency reward: after 7 days of daily check-ins, you not only get a secret card, but also 2 packs for every next check-in instead of one. A great reason to come back every day. Right now I’m actively working on transitioning from Farcaster-based logic to a regular web setup. To be honest, there are some challenges, but I’m confident I’ll figure it out. I’m also working on in-game minting. I can’t show details yet, but I really like how it’s shaping up. Hope you’ll like it just as much. ‼️Important: You have less than 24 hours left to claim your Season 1 reward. So far only 67/100 players have claimed it — this is literally your last chance.
