The problem Impact 2.0 solves

Impact 2.0 addresses a fundamental problem on social media: how do you surface impactful content (text, art, code, etc.) - based on the value that it creates for the network, and not merely the attention it gets. Then, how do you reward those who created the impact?

Impact 2.0 is a system that creates incentives for curators to proactively surface impactful content - and evaluate how much value it has for the ecosystem. The Farcaster miniapp then allows users to use their tipping allowances and onchain tokens to automatically tip hundreds of creators based on the impact they created in the ecosystem.

Rewards are split so that creators get 90% while curators get 10%. Curators need to maintain a high level of curation to keep getting curation allowances, so they have an incentive to look for great content and value it properly.

Challenges I ran into

Some of the challenges included figuring out ways to grow the userbase, different parts of the app that seemed to work inconsistently in the Farcaster client, and changes to Farcaster that affected how the app is used.

The process of addressing these included getting feedback from the community, iterating on different strategies until there was traction, and shipping fast to ensure users could use the app after changes to the client.
