GM Farcaster ep203 Thursday January 16, 2025 with @humpty and @sahil

summary of what i'm hearing from builders about the mini-app platforms... - farcaster: big upgrade in dev experience with frames v2, seeing strong retention w/ improved discoverability, notifs performing crazy well, but obvs limited audience. - worldcoin: user numbers are attractive, but meaningful lift to adapt product for the platform and actual usage / engagement underwhelming. - telegram: still king with massive audience, stars make onboarding / monetizing non-crypto audiences way easier, easy build. anyone have anything to add or having a different experience?

bk croissant game is pretty strong, not gonna lie

16% of the total supply is now locked on @hedgeyfinance for 2 years with a 6-month cliff

If you want to try out the new token launch feature with Bolide x @clanker here is how to do it in this current mode, token image upload will be as easy as upload from your camera roll by tomorrow

webhooks are temporarily slow as a result of this migration, working on it now

Introducing Token Links Try it now: $degen, $tn100x, $higher, $moxie, $anon - Mention a token with a leading $, it turns into a link - Tap link to see top tokens by market cap and recent casts - Links to Dexscreener and copy contract address - Working in casts and profiles - Already on the protocol; just enriching text in casts Future ideas - Smarter algo for casts (expect a bit of spam this week) - Additional info and metrics for traders - Farcaster social graph signals - Customization for token creators - Tie-in with frames and onchain transactions Known issues - If token links aren't linkifying, update your app and restart 1-2x - Casts are slow to load; making that faster - Token links don't work in DCs or the composer yet - Sorting by market cap may result in non-FC native assets ahead of FC-native ones, e.g. $anon Reminder: you can mute all token links by adding $ to your mute words on Warpcast

"Blackhole" is a good name because this game sucks up all my tickets

everything you need to know about today

I’ll probably stop posting for today and go grab a drink 🍷 what a launch!!! $BOLIDE token has generated $5M in trading volume already and it’s a day one! tomorrow is the web app launch with Clanker integration We were seriously sniped and had to deal with it for 2 hours - I was so stressed :(( Luckily it was a good sniper—someone we didn’t even know existed. He sold what he wanted to sell and sent the rest of the tokens to our team wallet For those interested we contacted the sniper via a transaction message to his wallet https://basescan.org/tx/0x660272c694ac57eedc912379d26360cf3271965addde7d717014cdd411311ffc We have long-term plans and a batch of features ahead—@bolide is here to stay and play the long game! A huuuge thank you to @proxystudio.eth and the entire @clanker team. We wouldn’t have launched this token without them. First-class team 💯💙 Happy to be part of the Clanker ecosystem!

Today I found out that some of our ecosystem devs are really slow at buying the bullish new /bolide clanker Had to execute txn for them May need to send some founders to trading school so they can learn how to make it all easier for users

gm, We are launching the writing contest called "Farcaster 2026". The goal is to explore paths that Farcaster can take this year to reach the next level in 2026. We have a 2 ETH prize pool for best submissions. Organized by @kiwi & @purple. More details in the post: https://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/farcaster-2026-writing-contest

Huge news coming out of @jacek’s community call! Degen team is working with the legend @deployer on a framework to bring tipping onchain on both DEGEN and HAM chains. This would mean real-time tipping instead of a monthly claim. Deployer is a goated dev who has built out a bunch of cool tech for his Ham community, so I am here for this crossover 👏🏽👏🏽 Lots of other good stuff coming out of the community call, including a secret POAP 👀 Bullish Degen. Bullish Ham.

We need more content like this for outsiders (and for all of us!)... This just won @dwr.eth contest for explaining the clanker meta on FC. If you like it, let's convince @raven50mm that we need more content like this from him....I told him it's EIL5 with a great vibe.

YES- drove from los angeles. it’ll be my second irl rocket launch, first starship and my parents first. SO EXCITED for the starlink test too. seeing it stacked is glorious!
