$150M fundraise at the app layer. This is more than most infrastructure projects have raised in the past few years. I hope this encourages more teams and developers to think beyond only infrastructure. Congrats @dwr and @farcaster_xyz team.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Points at real customers, users or results as evidence rather than assertion.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, concrete
Mechanisms: Specificity, Social proof
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
