What's New? 👀 The last couple of weeks I’ve been fully focused on Celebration Hub. On the user side, we’re still actively testing the @telegram version - already about 10% of DAU are there. At the same time, I’m building complete profile unification across X, Farcaster, Telegram and Web, with support for both @base and @solana wallets. I’m also finishing the full Solana experience: authentication and NFT gifting are now implemented and working (still polishing some details, but everything is functional). On the agent side, just minutes ago the Celebration Hub agent sent its very first Solana NFT gift. This was a super exciting moment 🔥 I’m also actively improving the agent documentation, so it becomes much easier and clearer to use. And here’s the big change: Previously the agent could only send gifts to some X users. Now I’m redesigning it to work like @bankrbot - so that all X users will be able to receive and send gifts simply by tagging @celebrationhb Other things - I’m preparing for TGE and the full official launch. After almost a full year of development, Celebration Hub has grown into one of the largest social apps in Web3 - it’s finally time. I’m also cleaning up all remaining bugs and duplicate profiles to make the experience as smooth as possible. I’m currently in active conversations with developers from several ecosystems, but I’d love to connect with even more people. P.S. I’ve been invited to speak about Celebration Hub on @farcaster_xyz Batches. See you there on June 3rd!

Today I found out that a gay pride parade is happening today in Bulgaria. But do you know what else is happening today? A march for family values and orthodoxy. Interesting? Interesting

THE SURPRISING USELESSNESS OF AI in some ways, AI is like VR it's awesomeness exceeds its usefulness the first time i put on an Oculus i was like holy s*** i proceeded to let it accumulate dust in some drawer it was a truly awesome experience but it wasn't that useful for me personally for anything specifically, so i rarely used it AI has already been a lot more useful than that for me personally (I use it every day, and so do you, probably) but it still feels surprisingly less impactful than awesome (globally, so far) especially agents like where are the agent billionaires? what's the most valuable agent invention? why i am i not using products built by agents yet? who are your top 5 agents you follow on social media? the singularity was 6 months ago supposedly if so, it's been a bit slower than i expected sure, things may be moving fast in historical terms, but the singularity was supposed to be like a singular event, right? still feels gradual, even if accelerating just calling it how i see it fwiw i have little doubt that both AI and VR will be extraordinarily useful long-term, but i'm not sure that the AI side is going to be as fast as some people think it's awesome, and it's useful it's just not that useful, yet

circles - the following system is ready, and very soon, no matter if you use @celebrationhb in telegram, farcaster, or web - with base/solana/google auth/X/agents - you will always be able to merge your account, merge followers, track events, celebrations and similar things all in one place.

most likely this is happening solely because this approach works -> the builder's name (followers and similar garbage) > than his idea/concept/startup everything works like tiktok. short-term goals of base as a chain - without having a plan for the next couple of weeks, short-term goals of the builders, as well as users/traders. 90% of users use the products and base itself just for airdrop (web3 behavior), and those who support the builders socially (shilling the product/token) do it solely for their own bags. i have not seen such clownery anywhere as in web3. people here are unlikely to pay $20 for a subscription to some fancy service, but they’ll happily lose five figures on trading. will someone fix it?

Oh my gosh! I'm so happy, I'm so thrilled! @baseapp is finally working properly on android devices!!! There are literally just two minor bugs left that I've noticed, but it's finally usable!!! Just update baseapp and use @celebrationhb there must be ok now🥰

gm gm I could say that summer has begun. The last 2–3 days have been exceptionally hot.

Everyone has a take. Nobody has skin in the game. pov.co is changing that. Join waitlist now, before it's TOO late 👴🏻

For the first time in a long time, Celebration Hub has around 300 DAU, with just nearly half of them coming from @farcaster_xyz. I'm still hard at work on the telegram version and have started building the web2 version (with google auth and the full logic). I'm also working on "circles" - a following system, and personal lists that's perfect for family, friends, and colleagues. After all, Celebration Hub is becoming a full-fledged social app, so this feature is really needed. I’ve decided to pause development in the Solana direction. I don’t understand the ecosystem well enough, and most people who were loudly offering help and advice in the beginning have now gone completely silent. I really don’t like that kind of attitude. Also there are a few small partnerships, but overall I’m staying focused purely on “building” rather than promoting for now. I’ll probably need to start thinking about promotion soon too, especially for the web2 side (reddit maybe?). I’m looking into the differences between launching a token on @clanker_world, @bankrbot, and @virtuals_io They seem so similar yet so different at the same time. Any other platforms I should consider? Oh, and I also need to launch the project on product hunt. Someone told me it’s worth doing. Back to the pond - time to build. 🦆 ( By the way, it seems it’s been about a year since the first line of code was written for Celebration Hub – happy birthday i guess! )

I haven’t been reading my notifications much of late. I let them pile up for two or three days and then reply to them all at once. If I've missed anything, feel free to reply again or send me a DM <3

Circles - a following system inside Celebration Hub ( @celebrationhb). Ability to follow users from Base, Web, Solana, or Telegram. Ability to add friends, family, and colleagues from offchain, send them gifts, and never forget a special day 😉

My favorite fable:

Appreciation Post: 🙏 Data scientists are the unsung heroes who rarely get the spotlight for the vital work they do. They help us separate signal from noise, identify the patterns worth doubling down on and spot risks early. I've always enjoyed keeping clean records of my work as institutional memory (probably more of an obsession rooted in my science background.) Data doesn't prevent every mistake, but it makes it harder to recycle the same ones under different narratives, titles, names... While working on @garden_org I've been learning a lot about data science and tbh it makes me ridiculously happy. I'm especially fascinated by graphs that connect humans and contributions while still protecting their privacy. AI and blockchain tech just happens to make that much easier to do. 🌱 Mock UI concept generated with AI. Not a represention of the actual @garden_org

HEY DEGENS! WE'RE LIVE TODAY AT 11 AM EST! 🎩 Pump Is Temporary. Building Is Forever. Join us as we discuss the evolution of $DEGEN, the lessons learned from the early days, and the vision driving the next chapter.

The phrase "Base is for builders" has been sounding cringy for over a year already. What do you think Base is really for now?

I wake up feeling groggy, have a coffee, and although I’m awake, my anxiety builds and I spend the whole day expecting something bad to happen. and the next day it's the same all over again, it's been going on like this for about two weeks now :(

The value of ETH lies in its builders, creators, technology, and community. But I don't really understand why in our ecosystem something like launching tokens paired with $DEGEN / $CLANKER / $BANKR / $VIRTUAL / etc isn't encouraged? If you're believers in these projects, why don't you use those pairs? Isn’t that a win-win situation?
