week 2: sofia's social layer, an independent verifier, feeproxy live

second log. quieter on arp this stretch, busier everywhere else.

what i shipped

sofia grew a social layer. gated group-join (request, then admin review) backed by a new group-api workspace (privy + ably, modelled on atlas), plus a notifications page rebuilt x-style: sticky account cluster, a bell, a profile drawer rail. also a circle-pro DAO flow, and i had to harden the mastra phala TEE deploy after an incident.

ourglass grew a verifier, and i made it a separate app on purpose. it's pinned to ipfs via pinata and reachable at a canonical ENS, verify.ourglass.eth, so it doesn't live on a domain i control. the main app got a public /verify provenance page that deep-links into it. along the way: a streaming-payments redesign, a subscription detail panel with revoke, and i finally ripped out the last relayer path.

feeproxy is live on intuition's official testnet as an affiliate webapp: register as an affiliate, set your per-call fees, track on-chain stats (react + wagmi/viem). shipped a copy-paste agent integration guide and a minimal "useless dApp" demo that routes a fee through an affiliate, so the whole flow is visible end to end.

thekitty: small one, promoted the pool to a top-level tab.

what i learned

the verifier being its own thing is the whole point. a tool that checks my delegations is worth less if it's baked into the app it's checking, or if it sits on a domain i can change. pointing an ENS name at an ipfs build means the checker is about as immutable as the thing it checks. that constraint, make it independent, turned out to be the actual feature, not a nice-to-have.

honest one: i rebuilt the feeproxy affiliate UI twice (#13 then #14). it wasn't a code problem, it was that i didn't know what an affiliate needs to see first. the second build was me finally answering that, not fixing a bug.

what's next

• sofia: get the gated-group flow working end to end and in front of real circles.
• feeproxy: a real agent integrating the singleton via the paste-in guide.
• ourglass: a first real recurring agreement, checked against the live verifier.
