Many people asking how to get an asset into @indexy

These are decentralised indexes, everyone can create an index and manage the inner assets - we support 50+ chains.

You can search an asset by name or contract address when creating an index.

I’m adding the index creators so it’s clear who is the index owner soon

There will be A) indexes managed by indexy (or me) B) moderation either by index performance or other mechanism as we already see many indexes

Quality is important, so garbage indexes won’t last

Priorities for the rest of the week:

1. send a newsletter, I’m a bit behind due to @indexy mini app launch + power outage here in Spain

2. Improve @indexy mini app usability, and sharing features after first round of feedback

3. user profiles so you can see index creators

4. native farcaster notifications on @indexy

On index creation - there is no right or wrong, really (specially right now that you can’t buy them).

You can “manage an index” to update it: add new assets or remove assets, also update weights to balance importance

Indexes have many utilities, besides an investing strategy they are also simulations of performance. Can be used to compare to other indexes, or your portfolio. Or crypto segments. What’s growing faster? What’s underperforming? Is that an opportunity?

Should be clearer once some more stuff gets shipped

Created my first index, don't know if I get it right but there is room for improvements if there are things I need to learn.

By far the best app tracking this space, IMHO. I show to normies to explain why it's important. And to remind me what I'm here for. So, thank you. 🙏💘
Experience from 24 hours electricity outrage

✅It was good to read books again
✅crypto is fine as long as there is electricity. I was cashless and my friend saved me 🙃
✅stars in the sky looked awesome
✅Life is fine without internet and power

Close to 24 hours without electricity here in Spain

Finally power is back

What did I miss?

My aunt just messaged me to tell me she learnt about a cool concept that involves blockchain

Her colleagues are talking about it

It’s showing signs of disrupting the consulting business

She is talking about DAOs

re: @boysclub's newsletter on Dead Internet Theory, from Imperva's recent annual Bad Bot Report 2025:

"for the first time in a decade, automated traffic surpassed human activity, accounting for 51% of all web traffic in 2024. 37% of that traffic was made up of bad bots."

bad bot = automated w/ malicious intent
Looking for a few more Beta testers for a new feature on @indexy

Should take ~5-10 minutes only and you get to see a cool indexy feature

Reply to this thread or send me a dm ✌️

When will NFTs come back?

1. If you believe blue chip NFTs — Punks, Autoglyphs, Art Blocks, etc.—are similar to art, then you need them to become and remain popular with high status wealthy people who collect art today. Ownership of said NFT needs to serve a signaling value.

2. In 2021, there was some crypto-to-mainstream crossover, e.g. Jay-Z and Steph Curry, but it didn't last (although Jay-Z is still a Punk pfp). And even in that case, celebrities != high status wealthy people who collect art today. The irony is the ConstitutionDAO villain—Ken Griffin—is the ideal target for becoming interested in NFTs.

3. So how do you change that? Initiatives like @nodefoundation in fancy places like Palo Alto are a good start. Additionally, any time a major trad museum or auction house does something with NFTs, there's incremental progress.

4. But I suspect the two biggest factors will be: 1) generational change (very slow) and 2) increased screen time with next gen VR / AR (nearer term).

Not sure how I feel about coins, but I sure as heck know how I feel about big corporations and their take rates of near 100%

“The combined revenue of the five largest social networks—Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter—is about $ 150 billion per year. Nearly all major social networks have “take rates”—the percentage of revenue network owners take from network users—of 100 percent, or near to it. (YouTube is the one outlier with a take rate of 45 percent, for reasons we’ll get into later.) This means the vast majority of that $ 150 billion goes to those companies instead of the users, creators, and entrepreneurs who contribute, build on top, and create value for all.”

— Read Write Own: Building the Next Era of the Internet by Chris Dixon
I seriously do not understand the hate towards the “base is for everyone coin” and @jessepollak

If you don’t like the idea just don’t collect/buy

If you expected to cash and got burned is your fault

This is an experiment - could work, might not, but everyone learns. It takes balls to do that given how well base is performing (if you zoom out)

Under old models this might look like a crazy move, but the whole idea is to discover new models

Ps: if you bought during the first hour you are on the green or very close…
/kaloh
Is it me or every token / asset that draws strong volumes is always labelled as “insider trading, manipulation”

Are there counter examples?
My two cents on the Zora x Base coins and future of “content coins”

“content coins” need to optimise for content not for the coin part to thrive

The experience needs to be x10 better than what it is today

1. consuming that content: making it easy for users to understand what’s the content (podcast, article, meme, animation, ad, poster, w/e)

2. distributing that content: meet the users where they are, dexscreener is not it

3. amazing content: probably the hardest. Content that people love
/kaloh
Where do people that are into crypto but not memecoins hang out online?
Seems like everything Coinbase is doing is 🔥 and getting strong traction

I wonder why their NFT marketplace / platform didn't work out

Any potential reasons?
Some topics in my writing list:

1. Creator coins, @jessepollak has shared solid opinions and I’d like to share how I feel as a creator

2. Tokenizing Apps, the pros and cons of tokenising products from the start, following the example of $qr by @jake, $tabs by @carlos and $checkr by @tomu

Most traders and crypto investors are sleeping on indexes.

Indexes give you a real benchmark to measure how a strategy is actually performing. Without that, you’re just guessing.
