The real $CAW has profiles on ETH, staking on ETH, and never requires gas on another chain. The real CAW lets you like/post/follow without signing your wallet constantly. The real CAW will win the world. Still building, everyday. Brick by brick we build an empire.

Call it a meme if you want, but we are about to launch utility to power an entire social network.

What feature set would excite you the most to be integrated into CAW at some point in the future? (Zero promises that any of these will be built. I'm honestly just doing research for polling UX right now)

Okay frens. Testnet is live. ==> test.caw.social Thank you everyone for being here and enduring the long journey this has been. I believe in the vision, the manifesto, and I believe in the future of $CAW. #TogetherWeFly. Please understand: => This is not YET meant to be a fully finished product. => There will be bugs, there will be mistakes. => The important thing is that we work together to find them. Please click the little bug button/icon to report any issues you find. 99% of my testing has been with Rabby on chrome desktop. If you’re using other browsers or wallets or devices, be prepared to submit bug reports. I will redeploy these contracts and blow away the database at some point, so your data is… well forever on chain, but not forever on this front end. --- Some notes for testnet: It works with Sepolia, so you will need a little Sepolia-ETH in your wallet to send transactions. Faucet here: cloud.google.com/application… (or you can use gas.zip/) Once you have Sepolia ETH, you’ll need to get some mCAW (mintable caw) there is a faucet on the app. test.caw.social/faucet From the developer side, I’ve made an extremely easy 1-liner for anyone who would like to try to install a front end node on their own server. Just run: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Gi…)" It’s as simple as that. It will ask you questions. You might have questions. I will be here to help answer questions (after I sleep).

Teh progress. It's real. Public testnet tomorrow. $CAW

King Gilgamesh said : Spread the word now. Testnet is coming... @caw_dev @CommunityCaw After 4 years expecting great events...

#CAW Testnet imminent 🌙 .

30 more commits pushed to $caw github tonight. github.com/GilgameshCaw/Caw Today was mostly focused around scalability, managing rate limits with RPC urls, and limiting admin controls to be deployment-only, and simplifying data replication. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Exciting things on their way.

本日は6:31からのギルちゃんログイン観測してます。 昨日更新されたGitHubですがバグの他にUI辺りの更新を行なってるように見えます。 地道に一歩一歩進んでる感じがしてワクワクしますね。 早くテストネットに参加したいどす🔥🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛🌹🐦‍⬛🌹🐦‍⬛🌹 @caw_dev #THE_CROW_WILL_FLY #CAW #Gilgamesh #GilgameshWakeUp #CawProtocol #TehFuturelsHere #IAmRyoshi #DecentralizedFreedom

When you access CAW, this is likely the first screen you will see. It looks like countless crows (users) flying freely across the decentralized sky. Although it is still on a testnet, we have successfully enabled our voices to reach others through the blockchain without a central server. Those voices can never be censored.

Another day, another push to github. 🌙 ~50 more details, bugs, and inefficiencies squashed. Step by step $CAW will be ready.

Here's a quick video to show a bit more of what's been created. I think this only covers 25%-30% of the features I've implemented. Everything you can see is clickable and working.

Big thanks to Yu for already getting the code running locally. Together we fly. 🌙

Aside from that magic moment, today was productive: To ensure $CAW data truly lives forever, I've implemented cross-chain replication. That means the data will be stored in multiple places - and if one chain were to die, our data is still persisted elsewhere. This replication is expensive when one chain needs to tell another what's happening, but using the same principal as optimistic rollups, we can skip that cost entirely. CAW Validators will post data directly to archive chains with a stake. If anyone proves the data is wrong, the challenger takes their stake. If nobody challenges it within 2 days, it's finalized. Cross-chain messaging is only needed for fraud proofs — which should never happen. Result: 95% cheaper replication.

Today I woke up to something that felt like magic. Someone from the community ran the code I pushed, booted their own local server, created an account and made some posts that were sent to the blockchain and pulled back down on to my system, 100% automatic. I've been working on this project locally for months, and all of the sudden someone was able to write to my local database. First thought: wtf? But immediately I realized: the protocol is effectively already live on testnet. The real "source of truth" is on chain. We are already connected. The core of the magic I felt is #decentralization. This protocol is designed to connect people through frontends hosted across the globe. Soon: the frontend I'm building will be deployed publicly (testnet first) for the community to test together, and when it's live, you too can experience the magic and power of decentralization.
