Reports have emerged of issues with claims on the Degen ERC-20 token, which was launched in January 2024 to enable Farcasters to reward quality content.​ The team is working with WalletConnect to resolve the problems, which seem to be caused by higher-than-expected traffic levels.​ While this is a positive sign of the token's popularity, the team apologizes for any degraded experience as they work to fix the issues.​

X API Shutdown Exposes SocialFi Vulnerability, Degen Offers Decentralized Alternative

X API Shutdown Exposes SocialFi Vulnerability, Degen Offers Decentralized Alternative

When X revoked API access for apps that pay users to post, InfoFi and SocialFi platforms lost their core infrastructure overnight. Rewards stopped, income dropped, and creators had no recourse. The incident highlighted a fundamental problem: **centralized platforms control who builds, who gets paid, and on what terms**. Any incentive system exists only as long as it's permitted. **Degen App takes a different approach:** - Content lives natively on an open, decentralized network - Creators post freely without intermediaries - Users tip directly in $DEGEN in real time - The community decides what's worth rewarding No reward programs. No delayed payouts. Just peer-to-peer support. History shows open networks reduce friction and don't rely on single gatekeepers—that's the direction Degen has been building toward from the start.

🔥 Degen App Burns 10% of Every Tip

🔥 Degen App Burns 10% of Every Tip

The **Degen App** has introduced a new mechanism where **10% of every tip gets burned**, reducing the total $DEGEN supply. **Key changes:** - Every tip now burns 10% of its value automatically - Tipping supports creators while strengthening the token ecosystem - The burn mechanism creates deflationary pressure on $DEGEN supply This builds on the recent launch of tipping functionality, which allows users to reward creators directly with $DEGEN tokens. The **"Tip. Burn. Repeat."** model transforms casual tipping into an ecosystem-strengthening activity that benefits both individual creators and all token holders.
