a little bit of a time commitment but it's a little bit
it's worth it you make friends you make some enemies that become friends you make friends that become enemies but it's all it's a game it's really just like such a cool way to get involved and
and yeah definitely i i don't know what you're laughing at
i'm laughing at siege talking about taylor swift
i started chatting with her in our comments and and i said i know we're live but taylor swift dropped a new album last night
i know i know it's very exciting it's been it's been coming we knew it was coming so it's very exciting
so i told my daughter i actually did text her and i said just so you know siege has been talking about taylor and she's got no one to talk to on varcaster so can you get back in and say hi to her
i love this oh my gosh i have so many thoughts and they're all in the taylor swift channel i love it i love it i love it very exciting yeah very exciting i did see a meme going this morning of course
you oh oh taylor did taylor launch a meme coin
taylor lot no taylor did not
shockingly okay siege i wanted to ask you for some parenting advice if you're a parent and your college age daughter calls you up to say it's thursday night i'm not going out tonight all my friends are going out tonight i'm not going out i'm staying home alone to listen to taylor i was like you're nice
be very proud
i'm not i'm like i was like when you're old like you these are the best years
of your life go out like anyway so i don't know how i feel so you just that is some serious fandom that's some serious fandom
yeah
i love it i love it i love it green flag green flag i love that green flag green flag on the fly alright let's dive into some action wait wait
i can't tell if mika has spoken sorry is is mika joking i finally googled it taylor swift is a singer this is sarcasm right
i don't know
but i also can't tell because there was that one time when vitalik didn't know who tom brady was right
it's possible
google who tom brady was so i know okay
it's possible so mika let us know if you're joking we assume you are but maybe you're not it's possible anything's possible okay moving on we do have some things happening on farcaster today including new on farcaster mobile this is from dwr trade ideas and top stories the search tab now has a feed of trade ideas crypto native news stories and token collections to start and more coming soon the top story will sit at the top of the feed it's manually created right now by me so that's by dan not by me and will be a mix of parcaster native and major assets we use ai to generate short summaries and when available link out to the sources the one requirement for a story has to be tradable so that's interesting so if you haven't seen this yet go if you just click on the search this will pop up for you interesting i found it very interesting there is a section here's like top stories so this was clankermon getting some love with a summary and information about what they're doing in terms of the project and then you have this group of different tokens that are grouped by clanker coins pump coins and zora coins in between the stories
i will just say one of these things is not like the other i did post that i was like okay very big difference when you get to the pump coins there was some discussion about the colors that were used and very interesting discussion with jake from base colors about some suggestions and i did agree with those so we have some feedback we'll ask that we'll ask dan about but i think this is interesting what'd you think about this
yeah i'd i'd say dan seems particularly interested in it yeah it feels like you know it's like he's always looking for something it's like that you can only do on firecaster
yeah yeah and i think this is a this is a good point on that like connecting the social to and and the building to the token rather than having it just be the token alone without any context i think is a huge unlock even just this grouping some people are like why do we need to group them and i'm like it gives information it gives additional information in these groupings because if you understand the different ways the liquidity works in these things like there's information and just seeing that oh this is a clancor coin okay i know what that means and it has different signals than a pumcoin or zora coin so i think it's very useful
we're just yeah and it does feel super primitive today and kind of silly let you know just but if you think about a future where everything you know it's kind of like everything's tokenized or you're doing company research and now it's like you make it really easy as you're getting information you make it easy to trade a stock or to mhmm you know it's like here's information and then how do you wanna buy or sell or
play
and here's information from an official channel as well like and here's where you can link back and see that or the source and that i think is important in the current situation and we'll get to some ai stuff later on but yeah it's it's i think it's good i think it's a it's a good step interesting step in the right direction this oh this is your comment why is the text for clanker pump and zohra different colors from your perspective i associate red with bad so unless zohra's brand color is red which it's not not sure it's best choice and i agreed with that and i did think that jake's this was jake's comments and he had very specific color choices with xcodes and i did i did agree with the the ai bot on this as well because the green's not even the right green so yeah there's a few things there but you know that's another iteration big news this is really big news this is kind of exciting news this was from kenny he had posted this this has been up for a bit this is a in the in the pixar it didn't happen kickflip world record for dgen so 10,000,000 dgen which was about $30,000 usd for breaking the world record in kickflips and dave bachinski bachinski did it he did it and this was amazing to watch and dave has been active on farcaster like he's been here he's also active in the nouns community so that's just another connection there that we know him from there and from nars and this was so cool to see and this goes on for a while so i might have to speed up just a little bit but he does he does do it he does manage it and then he collapses
which i thought was
i don't i i don't
know how to skateboard so
i don't know how hard it is to do a kick flip and is he like to
do a in it i mean watch this like just watch that's what he's doing over and over again yeah that's gonna that's gonna cause some pain so dave's like one of the best you know one of the best skateboarders in the world so this was this was very cool to see
so i love that it was great the last like five seconds because he's kind of like is in the beginning pacing himself a little bit yeah and then the last five seconds you see him just kinda turn it on to be like oh yeah and it
i gotta do this i gotta get this yeah i gotta finish it and then the collapse is my favorite part that would be me the whole time so congratulations dave that's incredible this from jacek 38 kickflips one minute yes he literally did it for dgen world record broken bounty collected what a legend so amazing i don't think you get anything for breaking a world record from guinness besides like the honor of it i'm not positive about that but i don't i don't know if there's any monetary thing to that so this is pretty cool and this came out of i believe jacek saying hey what are some big things we could do to bring drive more attention to dgen something that's interesting different and i think this was kenny's idea if i remember correctly and this is from birr along those lines i hope i can accomplish this or build something amazing like kenny did today a 30,000 degen bounty $30,000 degen bounty to break world record and accomplished it with the farcaster network impressive with only 37 people it didn't happen overnight i remember joining farcaster immediately met with poidh from kenny in my mentions his championing of poidh has been unwavering since that day when i grow up i want to be like kenny i just thought that was sweet so very cool and today kenny graduated to the hall of fame of farcaster builders which i think is great as well so this is just fun what a fun fun thing fun things on the timeline we like that a few more things here this from kagami what are some of the fc best fc native physical good products planning some early holiday shopping using my fc rewards top of mind is humankind by samantha and merch by mint merch would appreciate some suggestions we got mentioned in there thank you noun coffee a few other things were mentioned in here a lot of shout outs to samantha big shot climb lots of noun stuff in here so very cool go check it out and add yours if you have something that you're selling and we're gonna have i've actually talked to samantha about coming on as we get closer to holiday season to talk about her process and share some about the candles that she sells and this from the farcaster account we have a farcaster ama from spencer spencer spencer dinwiddie an nba player and cofounder of galaxy which launched on farcaster recently the ama starts this is an hour that was yesterday reply with your questions below and if you look through you'll see the ama here if you have any other questions i'd say tag him if you missed it he's been pretty active on farcaster so go check that out very cool to see can you
ask a question
i did not i didn't see this till after and i didn't have any questions did you
i did i didn't get an answer i think my questions weren't good enough apparently
maybe or he just got tired it happens he runs out of time maybe he'll be back he might circle back this just fun thing from patricia this month's life lessons from my twig one to grow stronger surround yourself with others who are growing two grouping plants creates a microclimate that helps many species grow stronger two if one person believes in you that can be enough to keep going imagine if i had actually listened to all the people who told me to put this in the trash four months ago and i hadn't seen the other casts that are in here but you can see the how it's been developing over time and i really loved looking back and each month she's doing an update and it literally came from this like this was the twig and then
an actual twig
an actual twig like it's amazing so very impressive and i really enjoyed this little this little quote cast thread it was really really fun this from devcon
can we ask dan about reply can we ask dan about reply bumping i keep
good question
yeah i want it back i'm sick of all these like having to quote cast
to to
i am adding that to my list
okay add that to the list this from dev connect we're excited that farcaster is joining the ethereum's world fair at dev connect meet linda horse facts and other team members i'd say community members irl in buenos aires and we've heard that some builders will be will be able to do live demos of their mini apps at the space get your tickets for the first ethereum's world fair for devconnect that is november in argentina and also there this from uniswap it's the uniswap cup so if you are a soccer slash football player and you want to participate it looks like there are some teams there 32 teams one champion claim your spot at uniswap cup and i will tell you that they've there used to be a web3 football crew that did events like this at different conferences and they were always really fun just to go and watch too so highly recommend should be fun and also hello brackie are you gonna do something or what today was network state conference it will it started at like 09:30pm last night because singapore
so
i haven't watched anything yet but this will be sort of my what i'll have on while i'm doing work later today and dan was one of the ones on the virtual stage at bellagio's network state conference did you get a chance to watch anything yet
oh no i was not around last night but i was sleeping
yeah looking forward to
catching some recordings maybe
yeah same and it's always really i always find it pretty interesting what bellagio puts together so go check that out we have a few things from some of our favorite builders that i need to talk about before dan pops in we've got a few minutes and then he'll be here you can see that i'm like trying to pull some links now the grouping thing has been working well in terms of not killing my computer but it causes like another slowdown in bringing the information up so bear with me this from our friend bobby ong at coin gecko we finally launched a gecko terminal farcaster mini app try casting any gecko terminal link and see how the chart looks let me know what you think of this so that's really cool so good to see some of the big the big players about adding many apps
and all you need to do like if you have an existing app it's just like you add a few metadata tags similar how you would you know would with open graph so so you add a few little metadata tags and it just tells forecaster how to render something as a mini app and
oh that's cool i didn't realize it was that easy so that's good
it's not
i know it's not i know it's not
not easy
it's really not but i think it's cool
to see other i like seeing legacy apps get migrated and people leaning into kind of what makes broadcaster special
yeah for sure okay i think this group of links is killing me so hold on one second
come on close that group i think it's that group that's killing me we have a few other things that i really want to show here today come on there we go alright this from our friend toadie hawk there was a better bomb yesterday and this was part of their project plan that every few months they do this airdrop which they call the better rom based on activity within the better ecosystem so this is from toady hawk just over six months ago netnos and i came together with a plan to build an app that would use the unique viral potential of farcaster mini apps to give creators real opportunities to get paid for their creativity the result was betterment and its native community clanker better and we had no idea the ride we were in for fast forward to today two seasons later and the numbers really do speak for themselves 77 rounds hosted 64,000 spins 180 ks in transaction volume 60 ks paid directly to featured create creators over 130,000 worth of reward tokens distributed to players consistently 10,000 unique users per month and top 10 mini app leaderboard for several months running over 65% of circulating better staked and $3,000 in staking rewards paid in month one alone a healthy 1,000,000 market cap for better with one of the strongest token communities on base app has been featured all the places also did collaborations with dgen ripsap tippin dao ponder rocketman for co build matcha it goes on and on and it really goes on and on there's a lot here so i can't read all this todie you're very wordy this is one of these long casts that adrienne does not care for just kidding but it was great so that look for if you are holding any better have participated in the community go look for the claim cast and get your airdrop
all
right moving on this from obseum i don't know how to say this word obseum do you remember loot boxes do you remember this project this nft project loot okay so this was like a 2021 classic where this was what you got as the nft was like this list of like eight things and nothing's really happened with that but there was like a moment where it was supposed to be this whole game anyway kind of a kind of a lore there and this he started dropping he dropped a couple of these with these like lists of things and one of the things on this one is a gm farcaster shirt so he's putting there's there's more to this coming this was really just sort of a teaser and so more coming be on the lookout okay thanks for including
so we're in we're in the lore
we're in the mix we're in the mix
we're in the mix excited okay can we just talk about his their she they
their name okay
this is a classic example of when i see their username i don't pronounce it in my head but i just know it you know like you don't have to say pronounce it but i pronounce it like it it's so smooth in my head
and then you have to say it out loud
make sense like i can pronounce it it it is pronounced in my head but i realized i don't
know how to actually pronounce it obscene yeah i can recognize who this is and i see them on my feed all the time but no like saying the name out loud is not not easy so anyway very cool look for this look for this coming couple more things from some builders this from jacek join us tomorrow which was yesterday october 2 9am for dgen app beta live stream on telegram i'll give you a first look at dgen app highlight new features and answer community questions come hang out explore the app drop your feedback very cool he has dropped the beta version of this if you want access i would suggest going to this cast and just make a note and he will send you access to this i have gotten access but i have not had a chance to play around with it yet but i am planning to do so this weekend so looking forward to it this from rish this is more details on nanar scores tons of developers on farcaster leverage the nanar user score to manage spam and user quality in their apps agents products we wrote a bit more about what the nanr score is and what it aims to solve and how we go about determining and maintaining scores in a constantly changing network so lots of detail here if you want to learn more mine dropped from like a one to a point nine nine and i'm like what did you do
mine did too and i'm almost embarrassed to admit that i've noticed and cared like i don't care about numbers except when you give me a perfect score
then there's like then i then i wanna keep it then i wanna know what happened
i also don't deserve it
you know it'd be funny if the like removal of the followers is what is taking this score that would be funny don't mess with us alright this from goya bean introducing blueprint not your average strategy a few day one founders on base have been cooking to bring a new experiment to reward holders and support base projects not gonna read the rest of this because i do see that dan is in our green room so we're gonna pivot in just a second but just wanted to mention this from goya this is part of the new strategy thing that's been happening a lot of people saw the punk strategy that one has been going very well this is a takeoff on that and i don't think it's connected with the original but does have some interesting folks from the base ecosystem some people we know like apex who are participating in this particular version of it so go check that out all right let's move on to our friend dan and bring him up to talk about all the things so let's welcome dan

yeah it's coming it's it's coming and i did tag you for twitter to make that easy so you can just i
i already retweeted
oh great fantastic fantastic alright let's dive in so we did talk before you came on
alright hold on let me
say that okay sorry i'll let you tweet i know i'll let you do your thing we want we want people in here too
yeah i i think i think it's good
we want more folks we always want more folks
and we've been so we were chatting this morning about the new token information pages that you put out the trading ideas and trading information
want to talk a little more about that and what you're thinking on that and let me just share this from this is from 0x barcaster is moving toward becoming the best wallet for trading tokens lightning fast low swap low fee swaps token links and token tags token pages token news token and trade alerts and now trade ideas and top stories all this makes discovering understanding trading tokens faster and better love seeing this progress and more
so what we're seeing it seems like from the team this is the direction you're going now in terms of trying to drive up the daily active users how are you thinking about this and what else is sort of in the plan that may relate to what you're doing here in terms of priorities
yeah so maybe it's worth just stepping back burn and i are like this month five years into working on forecaster
wow congratulations
for a little while and i think when we originally started the you know have the kind of like blog post that that was kind of the the proto version of the idea is rss plus so very much starting from a hey we're building a decentralized version of twitter or something to compete with twitter in 2020 that was pretty fringe the only thing that really existed at that point was mastodon and i think most people would have told you like why are you even working on that outside of a couple of maybe hardcore people who probably joined firecaster and stuck around world changed quite a bit between when we started and today and i think the biggest event for us there's actually two but the big one that impacts if you're building a decentralized twitter is elon kind of just like yolo ing buying twitter personally which that's like not an event most people would predict but it happened and i think it did two things it one it changed the character of twitter for worse or better depending on who you are right and we can talk about that in a second and then i think the second thing is it actually made a bunch of people interested in building twitter competitors all of a sudden right like there were actually a flurry of the waze founders right like huge exit to google like you know top tier type founder they were building something obviously you have blue sky farcaster lens deso so you have like crypto oriented ones obviously mastinon's there thread shows up so you have a big change to the overall market and then i think that the second thing that happened that had a disproportionate impact on farcaster independent of elon buying was i think the ftx blow up and just generally 2022 was kind of a pretty big black eye for crypto maybe not for people who are interested in crypto and people who kind of are optimistic about where things can go right like take someone like jesse right like max optimism of like hey this is the world we can go build i think we haven't lost that group of people like those are the people who are actually gonna get crypto to the kind of next level we're alongside you know you guys as well like really trying to kind of extol the virtues of everything that's being done here but i think the thing that some people maybe don't want to talk about it is i do think ftx the impact on a lot of like the celebrities who are associated with it and just generally some of the exuberance of of like twenty twenty one nfts i think you just had a lot of people especially kind of like influencers creators from the traditional side of things just get a very bad vibe around anything mentioning crypto or nfts
yeah also you got the sec is when they really started to go hard yeah
yeah it was because of that all that going down you kind of like really set things back just from a vibe brand standpoint not for people who are in it but more that kind of next adjacent group of people will that change yes i'm very confident that that will change i'm actually like very optimistic you have people like jesse who's who's kind of like beating the drum around like hey this is how we're bringing people
maybe not the same as some of the other stuff that's happening in crypto like i think there's a balance right but if i if i if i apply that to forecaster i think what what got challenging is one we ended up having a lot more competition so there's a lot more fragmentation for people who are interested in decentralized social one anecdote i think is useful is the cto of blue sky paul frazee was an early forecaster user right dc posh i think was like invited by paul like so when we were starting out it was very much like we were building kind of like this this unifying kind of thing around like anyone interested in decentralized social paul had previously worked on something called secure scuttlebutt i mean the names in the space are always on but but i do think it's like worth pointing out is after kind of elon shows up you did fragment the space and this space still continues to be really fragmented it's like obviously blue skies had phenomenal success growing in one specific axis like that is like kind of political response to twitter i think that that hasn't continued for them right like it's not like that was the starting place and now they're kind of like bringing on normies i think if anything they're they're trying to figure out it's like okay we're now in this thing that we've been phenomenally successful 30,000,000 plus people join but how do we appeal to a wider group
hey dan are you dan are you personally using all these other ones
no i mean we barely have enough time to use like
just forecast
or i use a little bit of twitter but but i i pay attention right like you know the current the current thing right now is the ceo of blue sky is like getting canceled by the user base for saying waffles or something i becker's was actually been talking about this but but but i think that the
becker's pecker's is great for reporting on that stuff honestly right
but but my my framework that i just kind of want to put out here is no one is working together everyone is actually trying to do their own thing and so you're actually taking a thing that probably needed a little bit of unity and making it even harder for something that is already very very difficult is to like tackle network effects and arguably the most successful new twitter alternative is threads which is facebook bootstrapping a text based social network i would argue that a lot of those users are unintentional users because they get notifications on instagram but shows you the power of the instagram graph right and so it's like when you have a graph you're able to actually bootstrap new social networks which is the thesis of harcaster and or blue sky in the sense that if you can get to scale other people can use that shared infrastructure to build build new social experiences that's a history lesson right where we are is we have yet to figure out a way to repeatably grow the social network component of forecaster we we i think we've had some great surges in terms of interest and that has sustained in some ways right it's like if you think of like kind of like early twenty twenty four frames and degen and and kind of that period there are a lot of people on the network today that that's when they came into the network and and and they've stuck around they made friends that's great we we don't have like magic like you know create a frames degen moment every month technology it's a little bit of like lightning in a bottle and so we've tried a bunch of different experiments probably if you think of it as like every six weeks between you know farcon in venice so call it like may 2024 through
you know this summer and we've tried everything on on the social side like all different you know we've tried the rewards experiments we've tried multiple iterations of channels we've tried the video kind of direction we tried onboarding journalists like you know there's so many different things none of that has actually worked in terms of generating kind of like a repeatable growth like if we put the effort in we can manually do things like in terms of bring people in but in terms of like creating an engine that actually can drive growth which is the way to grow social networks we just haven't been able to figure it out same time we launched the wallet at the beginning of the year right february and now we have over a 100,000 funded wallets right so really fast growth in terms of like getting people to use this wallet and what we've got from this is we have a bunch of people who are actually saying that like this product is their favorite wallet on the market they might not even be that active on the social network it's just like this is a product that they they're opening up the app because the the kind of like functionality we provide and so chris dixon who's an investor in forecaster and i've known a long time has a famous post about this it's like come for the tool stay for the network and it's a little weird in the sense that we're doing this you know almost you know five years in but our belief is that actually the wallet and having the wallet be kind of like this best in class product which shout out to the team for like being able to like put this together with like only a few people if you think about like there are a bunch of other companies that like the the whole company is focused on the wallet and it's it's you know fast cross chain really low trading fees and then it's differentiated because it's deeply integrated with the social experience right so there are a lot of other wallets that are trying to add social features and i think i've said this on the network a couple of times in you know kind of cast form but i think it's order of magnitude easier to go from a social network that exists albeit might be subscale but like we we have a social network the social network will continue to like just be there and i think the ability to add the wallet features that that is actually an order of magnitude easier than if you were to go the other way it's like you have a successful wallet which people sign up for the wallet and then it's like okay we're adding we're adding social social features to it it's like well that's not actually what i came for i think what we're trying to figure out and this is going to take a little bit of like effort around repositioning is our belief is if this wallet continues to just keep growing it's like the one thing that is actually growing and we've been looking for like kind of organic like can we get something that's repeatable growth how can we reposition the product to chris's kind of framework and obviously you're not talking to the individual user like this you got to make it a little bit more human and marketing friendly but the idea is like come for the wallet right there's a lot of cool interesting stuff to do and then you stay for the social network right like the multiplayer component of things and so everything that we're doing right now is actually to try to drive it so that when you sign up for forecaster the first experience you're getting is actually going to be more wallet oriented which is different than you know if you think of it like the auto follow era and all this other kind of stuff but it's like get people to actually have a funded wallet
our favorite error they're gonna actually have
one person that's gonna be significantly better and they're more likely to retain right so i think that that is a big shift in terms of you know we've always kind of approached it as like decentralized twitter and i think the way to think about it now is if if we can kind of target a bunch of people who are interested in crypto right people who the ftx stuff has not set back that's actually a lot of additional growth that's that's potentially 10 x additional growth of people who are going to start using the app and then actually start interacting on the social network and and i think one nice thing that is base complements that right because i think base is very much from the same you know just look at how the app is looking right now it's like you land on a a screen the the home screen is not actually a social feed but social is a core component of that app are we gonna be exactly like base no like we're actually gonna have our own different thing the social feed is still the the home tab but i think this new trade ideas feed for a new user who doesn't know anything about anybody on this social network that that feed might be actually be more interesting as an initial like oh interesting like the collections of coins and there's a little bit of curation here right versus if you were to go to something like dex screener which is just like this overwhelming list of tokens and you're like how do i even make sense of this whereas if you kind of have this this feed of these cards of you know okay here's a story by the way the story is a is a project that launched you know clankermon is on farcaster or or sql which is a clanker coin or you know zorro coins and so just kind of giving people a little bit more of an approachable curated way of viewing what's going on in crypto that may be enough to get them to deposit a little bit of money into the wallet which if they have money in the wallet they're more likely to check and then if they're more likely in the app they're more likely to actually start engaging on social features so that's that's the hypothesis and so i think everything you're seeing from us is figuring out it's like how do we make that positioning with new users as clear as possible in a way that they can kind of there's always easy if i'm i'm helping onboard someone but the real test is if someone was to just hear about farcaster at a conference or something word-of-mouth they go home that night and they go search for it in the app store or or on google how can they actually onboard with no one else telling them what to do or explaining and it making actual sense and so right now like that doesn't like if you go to the homepage it's like find your tribe like you go to the app store page it's like two year old screenshots like stuff that we just haven't updated big big thing for us and it'll start launching next week iteratively is like we have a bunch of new brand work that we did we're really really happy with it we worked with this studio called primary studio they specialize in like really short brand sprints and it's unbelievable what they've been able to accomplish in a week because most most of the agencies that do brand stuff it's like two or three months months and obviously you get to a great end result but the fact that this this studio was able to do this in basically a week and a half with our feedback and we were giving them kind of feedback every day i think we're really excited because it's actually adding a lot more personality to the forecaster brand rather than like
when are we gonna see all that start to roll out next week when are we gonna see all that start to roll out
yeah i think we're just gonna do it iteratively like rather than trying to do some big big moment i i think that that like it it like seems like it's good but the reality is it doesn't impact for us it's like just everything you're gonna start seeing is like it's gonna have a lot more consistent brand but i also think that we need to reflect that both in you know when you land on a marketing website from google like it should be explaining the value prop in a simple way possible and like why should i go do this just like that onboarding flow all that kind of stuff and so if i was to kind of say it's like where are we like the november it should feel like when you're signing up for farcaster it's kind of this
you things like discover create trade kind of vibe of like this is actually exploratory it's like you're going through the portal like to to kind of see what's going on on chain and social is a core component of that right like that is our that is our differentiated thing because otherwise you could just say why don't you just go use wallet x or wallet y and ours is no actually the the like core of what makes our wallet interesting is is the social right
i'll tell you that you know i came in in 2017 and the reason i didn't stick around and do anything is because i couldn't i didn't know what to do so like i did one thing got cryptokitties and that was it and then i was like now what because there was no i didn't know about cryptotwitter i don't even think it really was a thing yet like there was no nowhere to find people so if you get them on and they have a wallet then they actually can ask questions as well and find information and get education and i also onboarded my students for the first time to farcaster and the reason that i did that this semester was because of the wallet because i always get them onboarded to wallets we used to do metamask now i've and then i switched to coinbase wallet and i was like okay well i'm not sure if i'm like i think that the farcaster wallet's going to be even easier and so i onboarded them to three things they have base they have rainbow they have farcaster farcaster by far not even close easiest thing for them to grok like very simple they swapped from eth to solana and they don't even realize how difficult that was because it was two seconds and it was easy and it's like that's like mind blowing to me thinking back i would never have attempted that a few semesters ago as part of an assignment that they're learning how to swap and things like that and then i also had them go to matcha and uniswap and let me tell you it was a shit show i had to really walk them through it the farcaster swaps and everything easy needed very minimal help once they got you know once they got signed up it was super simple so you know just from and these are you know besides maybe a handful have never touched anything with crypto before so well done yeah so i would say that's the easiest
i've seen i think we're trying to like we we're rebuilding the plane while flying it right which is always a little challenging it's it's like one thing to go launch a brand new wallet that would be as easy as what we built with farcaster and again credit to the team for building an amazing experience and people like or companies like privy that like make give us a ton of leverage on on that doing and some of these other ones but i think the the challenge though is we would have never had a 100,000 funded wallets if we were just starting a brand new app right so there's a bit of like the availability of bootstrap and that in itself is has a big effect because it it the social signals so if you you know go to trending tokens which people have mixed point of view on the reality is it's an extremely popular tab and then when we talk to people who actually use the wallet functionality they're like i love this page like this is a page that doesn't exist anywhere else and i like to see who bought it and and like there's actual you know you go to other apps that have social features it's literally only what they trade you have no idea who the person is like they actually get a sense whereas if you see okay zinger or marie desart and how does professor or tony hawk like you start to actually understand a little bit more context about the asset the fact that we can actually pull in for an asset page like brachy all of the casts from both tldr and the brachy account and then do these ai news summaries like these features only exist because it's tightly coupled with the social network so the thing i would want to also emphasize to people if they're you know listening is like i don't wanna create fear it's like oh my god they're not focused on the social network they're only focused on the wallet and it's like that's not actually what we're focused on it's we think that the best way to grow this this weird new social network right in a world where there's a ton of competition for decentralized social and by the way decentralized social as a category is really not growing right like better worse x is growing again because nikkita is there and like yeah i think just like ground truth you know put the vibes to the side it's like how do we win and we win by getting people to actually install an app and and keep using that app and i think that the wallet which has been working this year feels like the best way to do that and so can we can we do a better job of integrating the wallet into the social experience and vice versa right and i think that there's one other thing that you said that really resonates when we've done a bunch of user research is there's a huge population of people out there it's easy sometimes to get sucked into like crypto twitter where people are like obsessed with like deck screener and you know you kind of see all these like terminally online folks when you actually ask a bunch of people they don't actually use those tools they find them intimidating even if they're in crypto they're like this this is like sorry i'm not 23 and like trading crypto all day it's like i actually i need more signal and so the idea with something like the trade ideas feed is there's a huge population of people that are crypto native that that will find this really useful right like it's like oh i don't have eight hours to spend looking at the charts today but like if i if i end up in the app and i am able to see here and it's like i got three stories oh what's punk punk strategy that's interesting click like try good luck trying to google for that or even ask an l m it's just like things are moving too quickly and there's too much noise and twitter's loaded with like you
know spam and
all this other kind of stuff if you try to use search so the idea of having some curation there and then leverage both the fact that people on farcaster can be talking about this stuff as well as
leveraging ai to kind of like take in the best of everything and then you know for now i'm basically you know gating whether or not the story goes there right so i don't
think that's game point is gonna
you know end up as a story
or you click on the you know clicking on the token and being able to get all that information too is tremendous it's huge because otherwise you're spending a lot of time basically in group chats asking people if they know of this token rather than being able to say okay i know exactly who's bought this i can see everybody who's bought this who i know or i don't know or you know that's a signal in itself plus casts and information about it plus you know the regular token information plus what plat just the little things like what platform was it launched on who launched it having that's huge in terms of not buying the wrong token with the same name being able to be oh this is the one i was looking for it's the you know that's a ton of really useful information even if you've been here for a long time like that is i think even more useful because we haven't had those signals in an easy place so i do think that's incredibly valuable maybe give you a couple of
previews of things we're working on yeah
i would love that that's what that was my next question so what else is coming
we want to do is we hear a lot of feedback from people it's like hey i already have an address over here that i actually do a lot of my on chain activity
okay
most most regular wallets allow you to just import seed phrase or whatever again power user feature but for us to to actually get people using it as their daily driver we need to solve that so we're kind of exploring like how do we do this in a way that like you know makes people feel like it's secure right like that that's really really important and i think another thing is there's this idea of like public versus private so we have to kind of think through all the edge cases there and come up with a point of view right because there's some people who say hey i would use this more but i don't actually wanna use it in like my public wallet all the time and i think that's a reasonable request and so i think we need to kind of think through that whole area i think we if you if you've been on the network a really long time we actually started with like this idea of like token gated chat yep like tasks not chats i think there's an element where we can actually make these these token pages more social so i think that that's like a near term thing that you'll kind of see us do i think there are a lot of people trying to go do this and a lot of people will tell you oh well we invented or whatever it's like okay fine like it doesn't doesn't actually matter because it's like a pretty straightforward idea what matters is the graph and the the the users who are doing it and then for better or for worse i think everyone doesn't actually have to deal at scale with like spam filtering and so the idea is like it's cool if you're you have a small app that doesn't have a lot of stuff but like once once you're actually open to everyone giving people an algo that makes some people upset to be clear like but like an algo that's relevant for people because like you actually have dealt with like how do you do filtering or show relevance based on your graph that's all stuff that we're gonna need to do i think you'll also see us just get in towards the direction of like people are launching assets on farcaster like how can we better integrate like that into the the wallet experience so if you kind of think of like discover trade create create could be a cast it could be an asset and so i think again these are all exploratory in terms of like what we're trying to do but but the idea is like the wallet should just feel like this gateway to what's happening in crypto and again deeply integrated with the social because that's actually the interesting context
yeah
right it it it it the multiplayer aspect of the wallet is is the fact that you're actually being able to kind of like explore what other people are doing and and talking about
and i i think i saw also that you were thinking about doing a p and l for per token
yeah that would be huge like in the next three days or okay
that's a make that would be amazing that's just a very
interesting yeah so it's already in beta like we actually have a group of like superpower users on the wallet who give us like feedback on it which is great awesome awesome but yeah p and l i think it'll like work really really well for base and i think solana and hyper evm are like two that we're we're also making sure it work work well but like i i think you can think of us like today is like we're our our primary users on on the wallet are are like very heavy on base but i i think we're proud of the fact that like we're trying to abstract away any chain in in the sense that if you'd want to do something on chain you should be able to do it on on front desk
i think that's a huge unlock that a lot of people may not realize too is the ease of swapping between chains like i said eth to solana that was ridiculous how quickly and easy that is to do or hyper liquid or these other ones where you're not bridging and doing all this crazy stuff it's so simple in the farcaster wallet and i think that's i think that's massively appealing to crypto natives as well like and it'll be something that it'll be you know newbies don't even have to think about when they can just use whatever chain they wanna use are you i think i
also with one thing so yeah i think you mentioned like nfts like a good example of where it's like okay nfts are not really in the meta right now it's like everything is coins
yep
that could change like
could come back
i'm actually very bullish on nfts long term the beauty of this like general approach where we're kind of indexing on crypto as a whole and everything that's happening on chain is we can rapidly kind of integrate some of that stuff whether it's in the trade ideas feed you could call that just like more of an ideas feed of like hey here's something to mint right here's here's a mini app crowdfund like whether it's a donation or like so you start to actually take some of these other legos that we have right like mini app developers the most successful mini app developers for the most part usually been tied to an asset like we just see it's like if you have some whether your eggs or qr or any of these you get people to come back all the time because they're actually deeply engaging in the kind of like token aspects of things by the way this is on world that's the same thing where there are many apps like the most popular ones are tied to a token and so now many apps actually really click into a lot of this because it's like i come to this app and i'm actually discovering things to do and or you
know that's a huge on the mini locks are huge mini apps are a huge unlock because you now have something to do with the wallet and it's very
so you're surfacing not only trade ideas but like you can just say like stuff to do ideas and so i think we're starting with something simple right now because it's actually like what most people are using the wallet for but i think we will want to layer in giving more distribution to developers and i think that that is a big win i think that the thing i'll leave you with and i have to run
i know you have to
go is i think it could be easy to say hey what about creators like what about people who are actually using the social network for the social network and the two things i would leave you with are one i think base is doing a bunch of stuff that's interesting around you know crater coins they've kind of already said that they're planning to kind of do some of that stuff like you know jesse said that we have collectibles and then i think the other thing here is just like generally the if every user on the network that's active has a funded wallet i actually think it makes even if the network is smaller than some of the bigger ones i think it actually just makes the network a lot more compelling for creators who are saying hey i actually want to have a direct economic relationship with my audience
i agree so more people the better for the creators you always do we always never we never get to any questions because we just let you run and it works out great
cool
we'll be clipping these and putting out everywhere thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it anytime anytime we love you having you here
yep
have a good one dan happy friday
dan okay we need to stay on and talk yeah
about i have a one thing you're talking about to spell
you can't get a word in
i know
you can't react you
know what's the funniest thing i don't even know why i bother i like i make a list of questions that we never get to but he answered a lot of them anyway he does
it's just yeah
you know inject a question i don't
know if you can even see in my eyes like as he's talking i'm like i have a i'm like trying to get questions
i saw you do i saw you do this a couple of times
and then i'm like and then i forget what they are and i'm like i need to just make a list of everything i wanna react to because i i can't i can't get
that out we need to do it is we'll go back with a clip and then react yeah that was a lot what do you think about this direction let me start there
okay
i think dan is a brilliant product person and i he's been doing this for five years we've been active for three and
pretty much throughout like i i i kind of it's it's very rare where he's like taken a direction where i've disagreed with it at the time
mhmm it has happened mhmm but it has
you know but
nothing in nature nothing in nature
but just but just his his logical reasoning for like why are we going to focus on a not b and do and do this now and priorities i just think he's a very logical thinker
mhmm
so i
and it's based on information it's based on information and yeah
do we know it's gonna work of course not you don't know anything's gonna work but does it do do i believe that it's a good decision for now for how do you grow forecaster yeah i mean you were talking about onboarding your students
yeah
as you know i was just on a i was just on a trip with 20 people who are not crypto native who are not familiar with crypto who a lot of them think crypto is a scam and they don't understand and i was explaining about what you know just about blockchain networks and crypto and i piqued their interest and then some of them said well how do i get involved now like what do i do and i went back to a few years ago i might have had someone download a rainbow wallet get their first crypto like use walletconnect to connect to an app to mint an you know and now it's so clear to me it's like just download forecaster yeah i i can send you a few dollars of crypto like that you know and you can play with it in farcaster like there's so many things to do with it and because it's a social network so i think we've hung around so dan is such a he builds in public and he talks so for the last five years he's talked so much about building the social network how do you build a social network
yeah
so now that he's pivoted to wallet i think so many people who are here for the social network and i'm one of those feels like wait hey what about social are you forgetting about us no it's already built like the yeah the primitives are there it works
it works it's just not
gonna lead to growth
you just need people yeah yeah i mean so if this drives more people on top of helping to create a whole entire economy like i'm down you know and and just honestly like i've done my class i created this blockchain class in the 2021 and it the first time i taught it was starting in january 2022 and this was the easiest i've seen them grok the wallet over however many courses that's been and however many students so hundreds of students and like learning how to swap and send and all those things so easy so if we're trying to get people to onboard to crypto like that part of it like that to me makes most sense and also the mini apps like the mini apps i don't think we put enough emphasis on that because having things to do with the wallet very that are easy to understand also huge in my opinion so really then you get to the point of like being able to you know pay for things and all that you know just actually a real use cases and economies and and i think it makes a lot of sense i was i wasn't sure about it at first it felt like a little bit of a add on or like oh we need to compete with base kind of thing and then what they developed was so good that i completely changed my mind in my thinking about it and it also just makes all the mini apps work smoother because you're not you know sometimes that connection would break with the external wallet and all you know what i mean so like this is so much sometimes all the time like all the freaking time depending on all your things believe so it
really is hard to believe that it like that they were able to build the warplet which is the you know forecast or well so how it works shut up is like wet is it all slow but yeah tell like but
i think the bulk of it is sloq
so probably you have full companies building other wallets and they can't get the the user experience so small small so
small is sometimes better
mhmm
small is sometimes better like you've got you've got more nimbleness you're also not starting with something legacy that you then are changing into something else which i think is much harder so taking something like coinbase wallet and changing that i think is much harder i think there's other benefits there and this is why i had them add rainbow and base as well with my students and the biggest thing i think the bigger advantage that coinbase is going to have is or base is going to have is that link to coinbase in terms of off ramping so making that a smooth process so that to me like there's still an advantage there it's not quite there yet like it's still a work in progress but once they smooth all that out and get it really operational i think that's going to be the advantage there and it's going to be like each each thing's going to have to find its own niche in terms of these wallets and social is going to be a part of all of them like i'll be surprised if they don't all add in a social feed because we see that happening you know on all these different things you know you see well we're going to talk about this this will be the last thing we talked about was openai sora like that you know openai having a social feed essentially they're competing with tiktok they're not really competing with a tech space type of but they could add that at any time so you know it's it's interesting to see that kind of lean into of technology too like social graphs so but it makes sense and you know that that's what elon's trying to do he wants it to be the everything act everything act means payments it means all of that so it's just a matter of like they're they're gonna be figuring the same thing out except i think he doesn't want to do it on crypto for some reason so i think it's gonna be harder to do it's just gonna take a lot more work to integrate all these things you're gonna have bank accounts in the background all that kind of stuff and there's gonna be people who are gonna be like i don't wanna do that i'm not giving you access to my bank account so there you go we'll see though i think it's really interesting it's exciting what else from that he said that you wanted to double click on
do you think farcaster has lost the farcaster is built on base perception
no i think there's still a big tie to there and especially because although a lot of people don't realize it because that social graph within base is farcaster once they know that like i don't think that's going away anytime soon
yeah
not yet but i think that's the message that needs more work is that you know solana is in is built in hyper liquid is built in
it's not a base wallet
it's not a base wallet and i think that messaging needs more effort needs more work but i think it will come and it will be i think you know once you realize that and i think until and and i think that again that's the messaging to crypto natives because newbies aren't gonna care they don't understand how difficult it is to bridge
yeah and they don't have like preconceived notions of what like what different networks and chains come like what it brings
right all those things like they don't they don't that doesn't mean anything to them so i think that's what it's going to be is that we're going to see that become important and i did and we didn't get a chance to ask him about this but you know i assume this is all related to work in the wallet looking for other this is from dan looking for other assets on base eth and sol that give you exposure to perpetuals to perps what am i missing aster d y d x are different chains lighter is pre t g e so hype avant zacks and joop so this is leaning into again the traders who are doing things with you know really heavy defi different types of finance things with perps and then the other question he was asking is looking for on chain prediction markets that have a live token what am i missing bracke pql which i don't even know what that is and flipper i don't know what that is but i think this really points to the two big metas that we're seeing right now and also things that are interesting to non crypto natives prediction markets are a big one that are very interesting to you know non to to lots of people if you if you expand that out and we look at braci as
substitute for sports betting not sports betting but a prediction market around live events that to me is a huge opportunity when people see for example that okay you have this wallet it's very easy to fund it and oh by the way we'll give you a little brekkie to start you out anyway and here's this mini app and here's this you know it's very easy to onboard to that pretty quickly and i think we'll start to see people onboard directly to mini apps as well more so like they came on because they wanted to play with brackey kind of thing or whatever
i would love to onboard people through a mini app
yeah i think that's almost a better experience
mhmm
yeah like because that it will make sense
through like you're coming coming through a smaller community or smaller you can kind of customize experience
tapping into their interests like you know tapping directly into their interests i think that there's a lot of opportunity there and i know that that's something they've talked about okay anything else along these lines before i dive into one last fun thing on the timeline this past few days
anything else to cover all right thanks everybody for joining us we do have one more thing we've got a lot of folks in the audience okay so this is the last thing that's been all over the timeline oh i gotta do this i gotta share this differently because we're gonna need some sound on this one definitely gonna need some sound on this one because my whole entire feed is sora not zora with a z but sora with an s i feel like we need eliza with a z type of song for this hold on i'll work on that with sora later
oh yeah you could just make it
you know it's
hold on i'll be right back guys what's interesting too is my twitter feed is not full of sora but my firecaster feed is i don't know why i mean i also stopped using the for you feed on twitter and only do following so it's a much smaller feed but i'm
you're not seeing it as much
yeah the forecasters are a lot of lot of sora here
okay i'm trying to i'm in the chrome tab here we go okay so everyone's been playing around with sora and the new video and there have been some really fun farcaster themed ones this one was great from chris corella has gone a little crazy he was going nuts with his sora and this one was so fun though let me see if i can get big screen now there we go
see you on the other side
i love that but it needs to be your face would be my only my only suggestion i think it needs to it needs to switch to you would be great and this was another funny one from chris corella again he's lost his mind oops that's too let me get back to this one but it's really funny this is a 90s style ad for broadcaster
see you on the
social network now on cd rom call today and get it for three payments of just $19.99 plus whatever shipping was back in the nineties
plus whatever shipping was back in the nineties so funny this was from our friend brad q this was another funny one got farcaster
got farcaster got farcaster
got farcaster got farcaster farcaster is social network with people on a mission
to build a better world and build
the next chapter of the internet and i think that speaks a lot to we're gonna see a lot of ads like this i'll be honest like i think that's gonna happen this was another funny one from darko i don't know if he's still in the chat i think it was earlier
good morning
making your little m f first say good morning love it very cute and then i did a little something on the streets of new york
oops you guys aren't seeing it
gm farcaster
let's try that one more time
what's your favorite podcast
gm farcaster gm farcaster
gm farcaster gm farcaster
gm farcaster gm farcaster gm farcaster gm farcaster gm farcaster gm farcaster the woman with the gray hair seems not convinced that it's her favorite podcast i don't know why but she seemed a little less
less
convinced less enthusiastic about that but really fun i've been enjoying it i think what's good about this is also you know it's ai because it has the sora all over it so it's like
for for now
but for now for now and it moves around but it's fun i'm surprised at how many people are putting themselves in there to be
okay can we talk about this yeah so with store right anyone you when you get the app and you can create any image just from a prompt any video from a prompt great
yeah
what is unique about store is you can upload your likeness so you can record a short video of yourself and then you can use yourself in videos you can make it so just only you can or you can make it public so other people can use your likeness i hesitated i guess you have to
yeah that's why you saw my pfp instead of me
i'm not i i'm not ready to go there
right but it but are we fighting the inevitable and seeing probably chris carrella have so much fun
yeah
and play with it like with that childlike just kind of curiosity and fun is starting to make me second guess that i'm like okay may maybe i'll just do it you know it's kind of the effort effort we ball just do it yes i we are we are in denial yes we are
yes we are
so i feel like it's not i i'm just not sure yet so i'm gonna let it play out a little bit i mean samah is everywhere sam altman is like in well it's amazing i know but it's really surprising they're creepy too
they're really surprising yeah
i'm just not quite i'm not quite sure although i agree with you when i was watching chris corolla's stuff i'm like oh that's fun that's really fun i kinda like that i kinda wanna do that
and then you see the people who are doing it the people who have kind of gone all in tend to be having more fun than the people who are kind of like may half half in dylan started he put up his likeness so he was posting videos of himself
we need an ad we need an ad for the yet yeah chick glow right that would be funny so i
could just upload that screenshot and just tell it to make a an infomercial ad promoting
pretty yak yak shit glow yeah it's yeah it's fun but i don't think we'll have us as ai podcasters yet it's still early days like there's still a lot of things you cannot do i know that the ai podcasting exists but it's not that great it's a little stiff but it's okay is it gonna get better and replace us probably probably within the next you know couple years but i think we got a little bit of runway you need to my hair
we need to put this in writing for the for the vault but i can't help but i still i'm not anti ai but i still wanna talk to a human yeah and i still want to know that like someone who's replying to me is a human not a bot and i still wanna listen to podcasts that are hue like humans not bots sounding like humans so
yep i agree i agree but i can i can see a day where they're so good you won't know the difference i can definitely see that
on that day i will be moving to mongolia living in ager off the grid and i won't care because
i i will not you can have that
version of your utopia
i will not be living in that world mongolia but you know i might be hanging out in the keys alright and then yes i'd say for entertainment purposes i like this entertainment these days is so bad and we still pay for it i hope it will get me a better tv to watch i mean yeah some of the stuff that i've seen created with it very creative very interesting enjoyable amusing so in that vein i think it's great i think there's i've said this a while ago and i feel it more today than ever is that advertising and marketing is are the two areas that are gonna get helped and hurt at the same time like the people you're gonna need a lot less people but it's gonna be a lot more productive you're gonna be able to really just move through things so much so much easier and be a lot more creative for a lot smaller budget so if you are a startup if you're a small business it's a huge unlock if you're a big medium it's probably yep you know it's really hurting you but yeah
it raises the bar for content for content even for you know everyone can kind of get you to that basic here's you know here's the whatever if it's ad or marketing or whatever so then it's like if you can then 10 x that and make that 10 times better those are the ones that will be the best by the way about the consent for the cameo stuff that we've been yeah it's like oh it's you know no one can just like openai or the soar app if you upload a picture of someone and say turn this into a video they'll say no i can't do that like they can't but right how long polymarket for how long before anyone got
it exactly yeah and there's yeah you have to agree and and allow for it but yeah i can imagine
but the we're we're escalating our draft into everything is fake every video is fake everything easy is fake just assume fakeness i was visiting family yesterday and i was talking to my dad who's who's aging and i just said hey by the way i'm just gonna just so you know i'm like if you ever get a phone call and it's me asking and and i'm telling you i've been kidnapped and i and i'm asking you for ransom i'm like don't do it let me stay kidnapped
yeah or or set you gotta set safe words up that nobody else knows that's something that i did a while back but we probably need to refresh because now it's way more likely that something stupid like this will happen right because it'll be i'm sorry it'll be way more
harder to tell that it's fake because my voice is everywhere so yeah all right great thanks everybody this has been amazing we'll have this recording with show notes and everything out later today you'll see clips around give us some recasts retweets all those things when you see it oh somebody mentioned flipper where the heck was that justin mentioned flipper is a prediction market trading on solana and that explains why i didn't know what what it was there you go
i like lara shin's i like lara shin's defensive pump fund this week though
that was interesting we didn't really talk about that yeah so for those who didn't see that larshen and unchained coindesk is i don't know if it's just unchained or if the whole coindesk media is over there but they they launched they're streaming now on pumpfun on the site itself and similar to the way retake works on on farcaster if you are streaming over there it's going to launch a token for you and they just made it very clear we're not doing anything with this token and then immediately it was really funny to see the comments because you had some people going okay great that's great and then others going why would you do that and and blah blah blah why would you support that and then you had other people just saying update the decks bro are you gonna update the decks like what are you gonna do are you gonna pump my bags like it was all about the and it was really funny i was like update the decks bro like of course of course yeah
but she also wrote a scathing just like here's my response and if you're telling me i shouldn't be on pump like we're a crypto media company and we're gonna use all the crypted holes and if you are
but i thought that was a very legit comment yeah yeah
and it's really i think there's a lot of like the eth maxi and people get super tribal about their chains and it's like stop being i
think it was more about some of the content that's on pump fun more so than the chain tribalism is what i was seeing and honestly what i was thinking and honestly why we probably wouldn't be streaming on there because it's not it's not always the best content that maybe you wanna be next to but it's still for what they're doing it makes sense as well i agree i agree it makes sense because of of that's a that they're doing larger crypto news so it makes a lot of sense alright
what is the token what does the token do is the new password that's funny that's really funny alright everybody this has been fantastic thanks so much for joining us we will be back what
would the token do what would the okay
exactly exactly
