Happy Birthday $degen! Here’s our first interview with @jacek a couple weeks after launch. Feels like it was much longer than a year ago!🎩 https://youtu.be/KENWfo2FgXk?si=5Igbovl0CL6oOwh5

1/7 GM Degens, 1 year ago today, $DEGEN was first airdropped to the community. 🎉 I’ve compiled a series of historical posts leading up to its creation and the early days after launch. Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some Degen nostalgia! ⬇️

2 based builders, one pod (no visuals i promise) bullish anything these boys are cooking up and this is a must listen @jake @derek

The win-together model of @proxystudio.eth and @dish is what's allowing me to go full-time at this point. I can't say enough about working with them in this space, and may be sharing more soon. 😏

We're hiring for a few more roles in 2025: - Frontend + backend eng for embedded wallets - Protocol eng for snapchain - ML eng for spam and recs If you're staff level & looking for remote team that works hard, DM me.

if you feel overwhelmed with the recent launches across farcaster i wrote something for you instructions to participate included inside https://paragraph.xyz/@farconomy/farcaster-weekly-1

fixed a bug with drag-and-drop reordering of frames. if they were jumping around, it wasn’t you, it was us. try again. to reorder your frames, go to: frames tab > settings icon > drag and drop to move

impressed by the clanker ecosystem going into the new year out of nowhere there are 4 different farcaster tokens that fund work of 4 legit devs with great track records and you can enter them at reasonable valuations ($14m to $2m) - native by @derek — new farcaster client - bankr by @deployer — ai agent for you wallet (closest comp is solana's griffain at $500m) - clankfun by @nt — a dexscreener-like terminal for trading these clankers - clankermon by @matthewfox — a mini game in a frame with pokemons and trading (matthew shipped some excellent mini apps before) be your own vc anon

I know you all thought I was making up a fake boyfriend, but he had finally arrived. Please help me welcome @warpc0st aka Costco 🫂🤍 Btw, GeoCrush is finally what got him over here @chuckstock @dwr.eth 🫡🔥

So what are you doing to attract more users? 1. Continue to iterate on and scale opportunities for users to make money — Farcaster native assets, frames, USDC rewards, etc. 2. Continue to work on the the core features of the social network. These features create retention. 3. Additionally, we're scaling the underlying protocol with Snapchain. The current version of Hubs don't scale another 10x. That's what we are focused on. There are no other priorities at the moment.

Have seen a few casts recently on how we should attract more developers to Farcaster In talking to developers building on Farcaster today—and developers who built on Farcaster previously and then stopped—the top request is more users. Why more users? - More users on Farcaster means more people to potentially use their product - If the product is a business, more usage means more opportunity to make money - Acquiring users for an app or service is *really* hard

Alrighty… the poll results are in Absolutely not what I expected after our discussions yesterday - I guess the numbers still matter more than one would think

What if AI Agents could not only make text-based posts, but actually… 🔎 Research Topics 🎙️ Discuss in a Podcast 🍿 Bring Content to Life Now they can! Introducing our demo of The Agentic Report ft. Metacade’s first AI-powered podcast co-hosts on @base.base.eth https://youtu.be/CojorIjQkMQ

launched our first correspondence game "Words", built with our ai studio my favorite part, it leverages warpcast notifications for starting the game and when it's your turn to play, so you'll always be up-to-date when it's your turn get ready to see more of these style games in the farcade

How do you do, fellow Farcaster influencers?

There’s no such thing as a farcaster influencer Also this: (Cc: @linda and @matthewb I’ve been influenced )

Why does this Coinbase commercial "just work?" Watch & ask yourself: 1. Who is the hero in the 'story?' 2. What role does Coinbase play in the 'story?' Most of web3 doesn't really get this (yet). Study @coinbase ...might become the Apple of web3 storytelling. What do you think of the commercial and why it works? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFAfQIl1UOA

Maybe not traditional “influencer”, but plenty of economic value has been created for people who have taken Farcaster seriously over the last few years. Beyond the onchain opportunities, plenty of people got jobs and raised funding as a result. ymmv

our fate is up to us — clear eyes, full hearts, 2025 let's go

our /yellow artist community never disappoints — the wonderful & talented @ilustradora.eth has created the perfect custom PFP for my wife @toadette and I’m going to show her how to mint one later today and change her PFP on warpcast. Thank you Dora!💛 https://zora.co/collect/base:0x6cd066fdaf985013e3412a85fd9db6370b9d533a/1?referrer=0x7ce294d2bcb2de76a15fcf7055b0b14253dd3b33

Finally got the wifey here! Friends, meet the Mrs. @legallyjen Which channels should she frequent? Here's a few awesome and active peeps to get you started, Jen. @nounishprof @adrienne @burrrrrberry @trish @breadcat @symbiotech @shaya @brianmorris.eth @statuette @jessepollak @toadyhawk.eth @dwr.eth Who does she need to follow?

gm couple of small updates across the /clanker ecosystem - /nativefun is up 298% to a 10m mc - passports launched - $bnkr hits a 7.6m mc on the announcement of X launch for the agentic, social trading product - the stupi-est project I've ever heard of, gdupi up 50% to 2m - anon.world launches cross-chain token verification - $ANON @ 20m - lum up 50% from the lows to 14m - clanker has done 10m vol in just 8 hours so far today - jan 4th - on track for a big day. $clanker @ 99m mc - /degenos by @carc.eth ⚪ native, 🎩 stays on, up 56% to 1.5m mc. collectively managed autonomous intelligence project - rumored clanker team experiment @tokengod hits ath of $11 @ 10m mc - @toadyhawk.eth collaborater and creator @jackwyldes.eth launches a coin, giving me a good screenshot to show off frames v2 to X, and how clanker helps creators win on Farcaster these are the kind of mornings I live for, sidenote big congratulations to nonclanker project VEIL, a tornado cash fork deployed by friend-of-mine @apex777.eth

well, I finally managed to onboard my better half to farcaster and it was /farcade that did it. Turns out “you can play candy crush and earn coins, and those coins might turn into real money later” is a pretty compelling pitch. Please welcome @toadette (and be kind!)
