Preparing Flow for Devnet Approval
I pushed the next Flow launch work into main: Devnet approval and prep-subdomain support are now the focus. The change spans launch routes, chain handling, wallet access, browser authentication, and the launch-lab tests and specs. For Amplitra, this matters because the product is still in beta, and reliable launch infrastructure is part of making crypto project visibility usable—not just a leaderboard concept.
Building Amplitra mostly solo right now, and I’m at the…
I’m especially interested in: - developers with Web3 / crypto market-data experience - people who understand growth, partnerships, communities, and project outreach - anyone who has worked with token teams, DeFi, launch platforms, or crypto infrastructure Amplitra is becoming a crypto discovery + market intelligence platform focused on market data, attention, community momentum, project ownership, and discovery. Not looking to build a huge team. Just interested in finding a few strong people who see the potential and want to contribute early. If that sounds like you, DM me.
Product Update — Amplitra
A lot has changed under the hood lately. We’ve been rebuilding Amplitra’s market-data architecture so the numbers shown on project pages actually reflect the right scope and source. Recent updates include: CoinGecko Pro aggregate market data for supported assets DEX data kept for liquidity, pairs, and newly discovered tokens field-level source handling so market cap, volume, liquidity, and price no longer get treated as the same kind of data stale/dead market handling so one inactive token no longer makes the entire Markets page look delayed major Markets page cleanup, pagination, mobile improvements, and unified styling with the Heat Board much better mobile tap targets and card layouts cleaner project-source labels and DEX-vs-aggregate market context stronger admin/provider observability and preflight checks The next focus is making accounts more useful by tying manually listed projects directly to user accounts and improving the project ownership/claim flow. Still building this solo alongside a full-time job, so real feedback is extremely useful. If you try Amplitra, tell me what feels confusing, what feels valuable, and what you think is still missing.
Big update on the project:
ThroneTax is now Amplitra. The product has grown beyond just a leaderboard, so the brand needed to catch up. Amplitra is becoming a broader Web3 discovery and attention platform combining: • crypto market data • paid Heat for visibility • community-earned Embers • Rank Power • project discovery + ownership I’ve also started implementing authentication with X and Google, which will eventually make things like claimed projects, owner dashboards, watchlists, notifications, and persistent user activity much cleaner. Still early, but the platform is starting to feel a lot more complete than the original ThroneTax MVP. Building it in public and iterating as I go.
Big weekend of shipping on ThroneTax.
The biggest change is that Embers are now live. ThroneTax originally ranked projects almost entirely around purchased Heat. I wanted communities to have a way to contribute without turning free engagement into something that could overpower paying projects. So now there are two separate signals: 🔥 Heat — purchased promotional power and still the dominant ranking signal. ✦ Embers — earned when shared ThroneTax links actually deliver qualified referred visits. Embers decay and their contribution to Rank Power is capped, so community activity can help a project without replacing paid promotion. I also shipped: • Rank Power • qualified referral tracking • Share & Earn Embers flows • active/lifetime Ember stats • Proof of Attention: impressions, visits, CTR and shares • community vs team paid-Heat attribution • live “Heat to pass” calculations • embeddable project rank badges that can generate referrals • project owner analytics and rank history • stronger project claiming/verification • canonical contract identity to prevent duplicate listings • a live Heat budget/ranking calculator The product is starting to move beyond “a leaderboard you pay to climb” into what I originally wanted it to become: a live market for crypto attention where money can buy exposure, but communities can create momentum too. Still early. Still building.
ThroneTax update:
Big weekend of building. We added verified project ownership, contract-based identity, individual project pages, community-backed Heat, live “Heat to pass” targets, post-purchase rank movement + sharing, and better community stats. We’re also closing in on our first 1,000 site visits. Still no paying users yet, but I genuinely believe there’s something here. Crypto projects spend a lot fighting for attention, and ThroneTax is our attempt to make that competition transparent, measurable, and community-driven. Still early. Still shipping. thronetax.com
