Cookie DAO: Decentralized InfoFi Taking Shape on Base

@cookiedotfun is revolutionizing the creator economy through its permissionless information finance (InfoFi), and this week marks a significant milestone! The data layer behind @cookiedotfun is now permissionlessly accessible and has become a shared, open resource. Anyone can now search "Top Voices" data across various timeframes to identify prominent creators across all projects. Thanks to the openness and transparency of on-chain information, many projects are now leveraging it to incentivize their communities. For instance, @yellowcatdao airdropped $50,000 worth of $KET Tokens to the top 25 contributors based on year-to-date analytics, while @eth_milano announced plans to... ``` Let me know if you need further help or wish to refine the text further!

"Top Voices" offers exclusive perks such as limited-edition merchandise and VIP party entry tickets.

Cookie.fun's social graph allows creators to monitor their influence in real time. The graph reveals who their influence has reached and how it spreads, a feature that has captured the attention of many participants on Crypto Twitter (CT). Referral links have amplified this advantage, attracting over 56,000 Snappers in just one week. This phenomenon highlights how value spreads through networks! The combination of traffic exposure from the Smart Feed and the Top Voices leaderboard has placed key contributors under the spotlight, such as @S4mmyEth, @emilyxlai, @Defi0xJeff, and @waleswoosh, who initiated engaging discussion topics. Of course, core team members like @fwielanier and @St3cu have also benefited. By publicly displaying metrics like smart followers and social proximity, Cookie.Fun has ushered in innovation. It guarantees equity in ownership of insights for creators, proving that decentralized information finance (InfoFi) is not just a concept but a transformational reality.

Virtuals Continue to Surge, Major Projects Rolling Out

@virtuals_io is on fire, and there's no sign of it slowing down! Their recent project launches have been akin to gold mines, with many achieving over 100x returns. The largest Genesis launch project to date is $SOLACE, developed by a team from the University of California, Berkeley, who won first place in the Virtuals Hackathon. Solace is your smart AI emotional companion (@solacelaunch), offering 24/7 empathetic emotional support, mood tracking, and wellness monitoring tools — a crucial piece of the puzzle for maintaining mental health in daily life.

The energy generated by these project launches is palpable. @jessepollak noted in a recent update that during Virtuals' launch, @base sustained a transaction processing speed of approximately 1,000 TPS, underscoring its soaring popularity. Investors benefit from the projects' point system and earn Agent Tokens via VIRTUAL, posting staggering returns. Many have seen ROI surpass +1,000%, with some even achieving +8,000% or higher! For a detailed look at initial point values and other exciting data insights, check out this fantastic Dune dashboard created by @JDHyper!

Meanwhile, @basednouns might finally receive their tokens after two years. A recent proposal in the DAO suggests integrating NOUN into the AI Agent and participating in the Genesis launch. Will we see the community unite to make this a reality? Let’s wait and see!

On-Chain Attention Market: Innovation on Base

On May 26th, @jessepollak highlighted exciting developments in @base's attention market, showcasing the innovative approaches adopted by standout projects such as @qrcoindotfun, @aux_xyz, and @zora.

· QRcoin (@qrcoindotfun): Conducts a daily auction for an ad slot, effectively creating a complete content distribution chain. The winner of the daily auction receives heavy promotion, with the project’s likes, retweets, and replies experiencing explosive growth within just 8 hours. For example, when @reserveprotocol won the auction, their engagement more than doubled in a very short time.

· AUX (@aux_xyz): Implements a continuous curation model wherein users pay ATTN Tokens to post content and receive likes. This enables their position to climb the leaderboard for maximum exposure, effectively merging paid influence with an increase in social standing.

· Zora (@zora): Introduced a feature allowing the top shareholder of content to pin a comment. This mechanism combines QRcoin’s auction model with AUX’s continuous progression, while content distribution extends across all social media networks owned by the highest shareholder.

These projects are bringing the attention protocol on-chain, moving beyond off-chain analytics to create new interaction models. Does this pique your curiosity and make you want to dive deeper? You can read the article "Concentrated Attention Markets" to explore how these projects are reshaping the flow of attention from different perspectives:
