i've been waiting for this monday too.
Wave 2 is live. 40 Builders in as of this morning, the sharpest consumer app testers and OGs we've ever encountered.
and we're not done. 10 more spots are opening soon, not just through the waitlist. there will be a quest. those already on leaderboard compete. top 9 earn their way in.
everything from Wave 1 is still live: YouTube, Twitter, Crypto. and now TikTok is in. Twitter market creation by tag is in. create straight from the web app too.
XP now has teeth: badges drop automatically when you earn them. Bronze at 500. Silver at 2,500. Gold at 10,000.
Wave 1 was survival mode.
Wave 2 is where Flashcast Social gets dangerous.
let's freaking go
Wave 1 was a question. does this work?
Wave 2 is the answer.
40 Builders in as of this morning. 10 more spots opening tomorrow -
earned through a quest, not just the waitlist.
@FlashcastSocial is live with YouTube, Twitter, Crypto, and now TikTok markets. creation by tag or straight from the web. XP, badges, and a leaderboard that means something.
every wave, the product gets sharper.
every wave, the infrastructure holds.
that's the whole point of what we build at Fermah.
this is only one flagship app. many more coming.
conquer mode on.
TODAY. IS. THE. DAY.
Flashcast Social beta is LIVE. we were dreaming about this Monday for a long time.
Wave 1 Architects are in. right now. as you read this, 15 people
are creating markets, placing bets, collecting points, and climbing
the leaderboard. we promise, the industry will never look the same.
this is the moment prediction markets stop being complicated,
slow, and gatekept. and, finally, start being instant, social, and yours.
so what's the focus of Wave 1? to test the core functionalities. creating a market, betting on it, checking resolution, collecting karmas, climbing the leaderboard. to keep it focused, this is only on the web app - no testing twitter integration yet. we want every piece of
feedback on what's in front of them before we open the rest.
to our 15 Architects - you know who you are.
the wall has your name on it. forever.
to everyone watching - stay close and watch.
this is only the beginning.

when you're building a product that serves an existing behavior, than creating a new one, you know you're on to something. you're taking much smaller risk, and success is better guaranteed.
this is universal:
there is an innate need for humans to have an opinion on topics we care
there is an innate need for humans to tell people their opinion
there is an innate need for humans to feel validated

this is so true
intelligence is rarely a superpower - it's powerful, but it's a superpower only when it's off the charts
what i have realized is the core thing that is helping me and Fermah is utmost resilience and steadfast focus on upsides while ruthless minimizing downsides
this is it.
the first 15 Architects have been chosen. emails are out now.
if you are in, you'll know the moment you check your inbox. if you're not, Wave 2 is coming. Stay close.
Wave 1 is about one thing: does Flashcast Social actually work?
15 people will create markets, place bets, collect karma, and climb the leaderboard - before anyone else on the planet.
they are not just testing a product. They are building it with us.
their fingerprints will be on Flashcast Social forever.

this is how much of me is what i am building
i had a dream early morning, and as soon as I woke up, I had thoughts that continued from the dream in the context of Fermah.
weird, never happened before to me
every single announcement
every single tweet
every single word
is intentional and leading to the big future we are envisioning at Fermah/Flashcast Social
i want to start building more of what we are building in public.
what aspects of building are best to showcase first:
wireframes, feature discussions, what else?
We cooked another game and quest, make sure you blast the volume at 1000% and have your neighbors listen to it!

@flashcaster you are the goat
@FlashcastSocial
everyone in our private beta will be the first to create markets that resolve in seconds. not days. seconds. let that sink in.
do you remember when trading meant calling your broker and waiting 3 days for settlement? then uniswap shipped and a swap took 12 seconds? guys, this is the same jump.
flashcast social is the uniswap moment for prediction markets.
