Emerge and Clank: GM Farcaster ep308 with @atown @tryemerge

one of my favorite little features of the @splits Teams platform is how you can search someone’s farcaster username to send tokens directly to their warplet. here I am sending @symbiotech his $400 $emerge top prize from our @betrmint x @tryemerge spooky workflow contest, pretty slick right?

I'm launching jessexbt today why? I get 100+ of DMs a day and I try to answer, but I can never go as deep as I want so I spent 6mo building jessexbt with @a0xbot to give a smart, helpful, based jesse to every builder it's early — and I want your feedback 👇

Ok, playing devil's advocate (since I hold appcoins): Why are appcoins / project tokens launched through any launchpad not prone to adverse selection? Ie. wouldn't the highest quality projects roll their own token? Why cede some % of fees in perpetuity for a one-time benefit of pre-built contracts?

Reminder: there's now an official Clanker Telegram channel. If you're on Telegram, please join! https://t.me/clankerfc

Introducing Clanker Spotlight Launch with Clanker, share what you’re building, and get a chance to be featured in the Farcaster app and across other Farcaster social media channels. Our goal is to give developers launching with Clanker more distribution. For now, Spotlight is invite-only and focused on new Clankers. If you’d like to be considered, ping me. We’ll have something separate for existing Clankers soon.

EXPERIMENT COMPLETE. It has been decided by the winner of today's $QR auction. $CLANKTON by @starl3xx.eth is THE ONE! https://farcaster.xyz/starl3xx.eth/0x0b4892f4

The real winner in the Clankton Wars of 2025 was not, as it turns out, a Clankton coin. It was $QR. Cast guidance: read this in the voice of Sir David Attenborough

FC Dev Call Update - The next dev call is tomorrow at 10am PT - Future calls will be on on the 1st Thursday of the month at 10am PT Why are we making this change? Dev calls used to be for getting feedback from developers and sharing our long term roadmap. Thanks to @linda and others on the team, we now have channels to get feedback directly from devs on a much faster cadence. Dev calls going forward will be focussed more on long term roadmap, and once a month is likely the right cadence for that.

The Clanktones…

Hey Degens, Quick update on the Degen App release: the app is ready to go, but we're still working through a painfully long Apple Review process. We've now resubmitted four times, and this round we're officially filing an appeal. In the latest review, Apple claimed Degen tipping counts as an in-app purchase, even though we specifically removed that functionality from the newest build. It seems they might not have even opened the app this time 🤦‍♂️ We're doing everything we can to resolve this quickly, but Apple tends to move slowly. Our best estimate is that this process could take another week or two. We appreciate everyone's patience and support; we're so close to launch. In the meantime, we'll keep building 💪

Clanker x $QR experiment: I will not clank the below image “clankton” myself, but if someone does clank it and wins a $QR auction to drive attention to it, I will publicly acknowledge that clankton token as “the one” which I think as the creator of the image and original cast I will have the ability to effectively declare, but even if I did not, it will have won the auction and get a day of attention from thousands on farcaster, so it would almost definitely be “the one” anyway, independent of me personally, as a result of the onchain attention machine. The reason this is somewhat interesting to me is because it allows ANYONE to clank it and have theirs become “the one” even if they do not have a large following, simply by bidding and winning our daily auction for attention, and also of course this can help drive attention to $QR. If you don’t want to clank it yourself you can also back anyone who does’ bid on the auction for as little as $1 to help theirs become the one and if it doesn’t you get your money contributed to the bid back. Please be cautious that regardless of who launches this token it will certainly go down at some point, and it will likely go up at other points. It will likely go up and down some number of times either by a little or a lot. I don’t know. This is not financial advice. But it could be fun.

Looking up at the spice 🚀

Today, we're opening up the Drops waitlist. Drops is our first commerce experiment, laying the foundation for how users will spend onchain. Built to support multiple payment methods, including x402, drops will become an open marketplace where any vendor can sell and incentivize their customers. In collaboration with @boostxyz https://dropshop.fun/waitlist
