gm,
before we start:
1) Kiwi is competing for the Octant grant. If you can support us, it'd be much appreciated. If you can't, it'd be great if you helped us share our message.
2) We started a new writing contest. It is called "Farcaster 2026", and we organize it together with Purple. You can read more here.
As always, thanks to our authors and curators who shared this week's links:
albi.eth, mishaderidder.eth, miragenesi.eth, timdaub.eth, naomiii.eth, rvoltz.eth, auditless.eth, manifoldfinance.eth, nullradix.eth, papajams.eth, pedrovilela.eth, macbudkowski.eth, 0x608F...027b
