GM Farcaster ep249 Friday May 23, 2025

AND WE HAVE A WINNER! CONGRATULATIONS @jacy the sole survivor of CastOut season 3! She joins @toadyhawk.eth and @garrett in the /castout league of legends! After a round of Traitors where @jacy was randomly selected as the Traitor but managed to get everyone to vote for @tracyit (except Tracy!), she has come out victorious! An additional .5 ETH and a Lil Island from /lilnounsdao is on the way! PLUS @warpc0st won a Lil Noun for winning poker and @tracyit I'm sending you one as well since you were the only one to identify The Traitor. ( @rachelw your Lil Noun from the Confessional reward is coming today as well) We announced the winner and broke down the final challenge on /gmfarcaster this morning. Recap clip shortly! Thanks to ALL the players! I'll be asking for feedback shortly and casting a recap soon. TY! (and deleted first version of this since I forgot to put it in /castout)

I hope you’re enjoying your farplets

> No action required on your part That's easy for you to say, what do I do with my useless tat now?

sent some Solana to my warplet (yeah I’m still calling it that) and figured I’d send some $pengu and $dood too. They look so cute.

And the arch is back!

What a lil cutie to wake up to.

it's so close i can taste it

we watched some sky and made a thing

It’s not the right thing to do but I don’t call it FID (eff I dee) I say FID (rhymes with ‘did’)

PSA Warpcast -> Farcaster rebrand will start late tonight Pacific time. Will finish tomorrow morning Pacific time and we will announce when it’s complete. No action required on your part. Should be smooth but there may be a few brief hiccups!

In the past 2 weeks on Farcaster, we've had 3 chain expansions (Solana, Monad testnet, Celo) and 5 airdrops with different teams totaling $70k to users. Plus 6 more airdrops lined up

@randomerror.eth the ladies of fc are begging you to log in

btw Solana by far most painful chain to work on + most expensive: 1. Cost $150 to deploy the program 2. Gas fees cost me 20c each time a crush is posted 3. Dev environment full on nightmare 4. Verifying a contract requires Docker? and pulling GBs of images? and doesn't even work?

when was the last time you saw a memecoin chart looking like this? only at precoin.fun

farcaster never ceases to amaze me somehow @farcasteradmin.eth has taken a fun lighthearted idea and mobilized it into hundreds of thousands of dollars raised from a group of degens through an onchain spv to speculate on my clanking activity this truly is the future of finance

I can really feel the Farcaster momentum happening. Permissionless social graph + onchain transactions + mini apps all coming together 🔥

If you could have us add / improve one thing in wallet, what would it be? Recent additions 1. Solana, Celo and Monad support 2. Faster / background swaps 3. Price charts on token pages What else?

Hangout #2 — May 23, 1 PM EST Topic: Empowering Creators With @ethereum 🎙️Speakers (our very own @farcaster native natives): - @humpty.eth @ @cryptosapiens.eth @adrienne @ @gmfarcaster

please don't call it farplet

Our goal with Farcaster is to work with ecosystems where people are building interesting things onchain. Make it easy for Farcaster users to try them out. Make it easy for Farcaster builders to build new things. People shouldn't have to think about extensions, onramps, chains, bridging, gas, etc. Instead, it should be as easy as seeing an interesting link in a feed and clicking on it.

New on mobile: Price charts

go @linda and @dgabeau !!!

.@farcaster just hit Solana & guess who came through heavy? Yes, SNS as the primary sponsor! $10K in SOL. 10K users. Already sent. Check your in-app notifs. You’re not early… you’re in

Farcaster now supports Solana! - Starting today, wallet and mini apps work with Solana - Swap into any Solana token with instant bridging from other chains - Fund $10 of SOL to increase your chance for upcoming airdrops

gm gm ❤️ We're finally ready to unveil Epoch 8. 🥁🥁🥁 This epoch is an Ethereum-core alignment epoch. It's a special one because it's a major step in our broader roadmap to contribute to Ethereum's growth. Like Epoch 7, there's no snapshot. Our internal reviewers will select projects based on impact and relevance. Allocation window remains the same. ETH rewards are time-weighted and allocating to projects get you matched 🗓Application Deadline: 3 June, 2025 @ 11:59 pm PST 🛠 Who should apply? Builders advancing Ethereum in 4 core areas: 1) Direct protocol improvements (consensus, execution, data availability, core networking) 2) Shared infrastructure (clients, testnets & tooling, p2p networking stacks, security & formal-verification frameworks, transparency) 3) Open dashboards, datasets, or studies (roll-ups, bridges, MEVs - resulting insights must strengthen Ethereum) 4) Protocol-level research + specification work (advancing Ethereum's roadmap) App link + eligibility criteria 👇

I showed the new coinbase wallet (beta) to someone who is not deeply entrenched in crypto. Their reaction: So, it replaces 1) Facebook [IG, tiktok, X], 2) Apple Wallet, 3) Venmo, AND 4) the App Store? 😱 And it takes care of all the wallet complexity? 😱 And anyone will be able to access it and use it? 😱 And users still have self custody over their funds? 😱 Needless to say, they were impressed and could see how this becomes a massively adopted platform

You can also watch today's show from a mini app, without leaving Farcaster! Haven't officially launched it yet but feel free to check out the beta of our GM Farcaster Mini App. Save the app to get notified when we go live! miniapp.gmfarcaster.com
