Builder's Day Kicks Off FarCon 2025 --------------------------------------- Esteez [announces](https://warpcast.com/esteez.eth/0x4d84bbac) **Builder's Day**, a **24-hour FarHack + mini Dev Day** featuring Dan Romero, Varun Srinivasan, and the Merkle team. FarCon will begin with Builder's Day on **Thursday, May 1**, leading up to the **Summit on May 2**. Ticket applications open next week, where you can indicate interest in joining **Builder’s Day, the Summit, or both!** 2\. Creating a Dot with Dot Studio: A Beginner-Friendly Guide ------------------------------------------------------------- Derek, the creator of **$NATIVE**, has been [sharing updates](https://warpcast.com/derek/0x1846cc3b) on **Dots**—AI agents built using **Coinbase Dev**, transacting on **Base**, publishing on **Farcaster**, and tokenizing via **Clanker**. Today, he dives into how to create a Dot using **Dot Studio**, a tool designed to be easy, fun, and accessible. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c61af1a6928a0d433a2b05f8bfb315f8.png) **How Does It Work?** 1. **Deal Your Dot’s Hand**: Start by dealing your Dot its “hand in life.” You get five hands to choose from, each with unique suits, strengths, and stats. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/fe7fb2cc68ca7232e1e8949c38e52039.png) 2. **Define Your Dot’s Face**: Your Dot’s archetype (Friend, Achiever, Competitor, or Explorer) is determined by its hand’s suits, inspired by Richard Bartle’s framework for player types. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/465f862dd30e232bfdedd0622f7457b2.png) 3. **Allocate Trait Points**: Use points equal to your hand’s strength to allocate across six traits: craft, charisma, ambition, hustle, focus, and luck. There’s no “right way”—customize as you see fit! ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2e0d7862349d3c40f507fba9d93a9100.png) 4. **Set the Vibe**: Answer a fun personality quiz (HAQs) to give your Dot its unique vibe. Think of it as defining your Dot’s personality, from preferences to quirks. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3896e92d131e902bbc5c1eed3b6e9171.png) 5. **Name Your Dot & Choose Its First Token**: Finally, give your Dot a name and select its first token. Based on your Dot’s configuration and vibe, you’ll receive token recommendations to launch in Native. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7d1f50dcbd02dab4a30b28b7df645f51.png) 3\. New Game Alert: Hyper Heat is Now Live! ------------------------------------------- Farcade has just [launched](https://warpcast.com/blackstock/0x0e1ef1ab) its latest game, **Hyper Heat**!

Introducing Jackpot: A Web3 Slot Machine on Base ---------------------------------------------------- Alireza unveils [**Jackpot**](https://warpcast.com/alirezakh/0x5e339471), a **web3 slot machine game on Base**, powered by Clanker technology. The **prize pool continuously grows** from three sources: * $200 worth of **$JACKPOT tokens** added after each jackpot reset * **Player deposits** (100K $JACKPOT per spin) * **Sell fees** collected from token sales ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/254a19df944246f5f14274f84c505cc7.png) **How to Win:** * Match any emoji (except 🎰) → Win **50% of the prize pool** * Match the **slot machine emoji** → Win **the grand jackpot** **Bonus for Clankster Holders:** * Free daily spins give Clankster holders extra chances to win **without spending tokens.** **Coming Soon:** Play Jackpot **directly through a Farcaster V2 Frame** for an even more seamless experience! 5\. Big Updates to the Moxie-Based Rewards Program -------------------------------------------------- The Moxie team has rolled out a [major upgrade](https://warpcast.com/betashop.eth/0x7ad333cd) to the ranking model, designed to reward **real engagement** and prevent gaming the system. Here’s the breakdown: * **Total USD Spent & Average Transaction Value**: Bigger, meaningful transactions now carry more weight than smaller, spammy ones. * **Transaction Count**: No longer scales linearly, so users farming thousands of small transactions won’t dominate the rankings. * **Gas Usage**: Factored in but no longer rewards wasteful spending—high spenders benefit, but efficiency matters. * **Moxie Score**: Still a major factor, but with diminishing returns at the high end. A high score is an advantage, but spending and transaction quality matter more. These changes aim to create **better incentives**, **fairer competition**, and **higher-quality rewards** for the Moxie economy. Check out the updated Dune dashboard [here](https://dune.com/queries/4544813) to see the changes in action. The updated scores will reflect on Moxie starting today. 6\. Talent Protocol Revamps Builder Score: No More Category Caps ---------------------------------------------------------------- Talent Protocol is undergoing **a major app revamp**, and the [first big update](https://warpcast.com/talent/0x41ea93e4) is here: ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/8cbab1ed50243403f153e697355dfa40.png) **Builder Score V2** will **no longer have category caps**, allowing for more flexible and fair scoring across different skills and contributions. * * * Disclaimer: This article is for entertainment and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
