Clanker Is Buying Christmas Gifts: GM Farcaster ep320

we're launching the @cobuild token differently. instead of an airdrop, we're going to be funding people on Farcaster and Twitter who do valuable work to help grow the network prior to launch work-to-earn if you may

Looking forward to going on Farcaster’s favorite show and talking with the most prolific hosts on the protocol.

Going to experiment with a weekly Clanker roundup posted on the @farcaster account every Fri that highlights recent updates from Clanker ecosystem builders First one is tomorrow trying out with an initial group. Will keep iterating, add more projects, and might rotate teams if ends up being too many

wait so the degen app is now the social app and the social app is now the degen app?

yesterday, in rapidfire question round @adrienne asked "what is one thing you wish more people understood about crypto?", it got my brain cooked and all i could come up was a pretty banal answer so i thought i could take another shot at it and make use of farcaster *social* features while they're still here i loved the question, but i thought about non-crypto users by default, which was a mistake and i would like to revisit it from the perspective of people who are in crypto and want it to succeed the thing i wish more people understood about crypto is linux and i don't mean the technical mumbo jumbo, even though i see many parallels i mean the distribution people have a natural tendency to resist change no matter how beneficial it might be. they come up with simple and valid arguments why the thing is bad ("you can't play games on linux", "you need to know the commands by heart", "you've got to compile all software"...) and they can't be persuaded. i've heard "this is *the year* of the linux desktop" so many times (why i cringe whenever i hear "onchain summer"), but it never materialized yet, linux clearly won it's everywhere and people don't even realize it and that's the key. *especially* for crypto, which is so much more polarizing than linux ever was linux didn't win by convincing every user to switch their desktop os. it won by becoming the silent infrastructure: the core of servers, android, smart tvs, routers, supercomputers, and cloud the user never had to "install linux" to benefit from its architecture; they just started using the internet, their smartphone, and all modern services. for crypto to truly win, we need to stop fixating on the "desktop moment" - the time everyone suddenly gets a wallet and manages their own keys - and start focusing on building the silent, essential infrastructure that underpins the next gen of global services, payment rails, data storage... crypto's success won't be a loud, overnight conversion. it will be the slow, quiet realization that every critical piece of technology they use is now trustless, permissionless, onchain the thing I wish more people understood is that crypto, like linux, wins by becoming essential and invisible and if you're building on top of crypto, don't build great crypto products, build great products

I'm going to spend less time scrolling the feed for awhile just for my own sanity. I try to keep on top of things in feed for my work but the amount of constant negativity hasn't been healthy for me and been very distracting. If you need me, please DC or tag me. If you're an asshole to me, I'm not obligated to respond

We are small but mighty on Spotify! 🎙️ Good growth for this year but yes we need more! Here’s the /gmfarcaster wrapped for 2025 — and if you’re one of the 12 with GM Farcaster as your #1 podcast on Spotify, let us know in the replies with a screenshot so we can say thanks!

Thank you, @dwr I know there are some complaints about Farcaster's recent decisions, I disagree with some of them too (like the button move). But as an indie dev, I still think Farcaster is one of the best places to build. Like Recaster, I had zero incentives or marketing, and Dan went out of his way to help promote it a lot. Now Recaster has ~200 dau, which is already better than most crypto projects. I'll keep building Recaster, plan to focus on real discussion rather than the KOL/OG-driven dynamic. Stay tuned!

😈 💸 @dwr for your bull market memes folder

I love @recaster-fc SO MUCH. I’ve had it on my phone for a long time but only started really using it recently. It doesn’t *replace* the official client for me, but it certainly augments and improves my experience with Farcaster. STRONG recommend. (this is a scheduled post! I can legit set it and forget it! And look at this SLEEK INTERFACE!) huge thanks + hat tip to the kind soul who reminded me how great this app is - I don’t remember your @ but I appreciate you 👁️🟦👁️

We’re going to Sundance. Today, THE MUSICAL becomes the first film funded on @base.base.eth to be selected in competition at Sundance. The film premieres January 25th in U.S. Dramatic Competition. With WME Independent repping sales, the production will be seeking a worldwide distribution deal.

This is one of the most important FIPs: Revoking an appkey (aka signer) will NOT delete any messages previously signed with it. This has been one of the long-awaited advantages of message ordering, enabled by Snapchain. Happy to see it implemented! What this actually means for users, is you can safely revoke access to apps you previously granted farcaster access to, without worrying that any casts or reactions performed using this app will be deleted (as was the case before).

1/ @privy powers 100M+ accounts and billions in monthly volume across 1,500+ apps. Today, we’re giving developers clearer and deeper insight into how users engage with their app. Enhanced analytics are now live to help teams make better decisions + ship better products.

The bus is here! OGs Hop on! You are the first to get a glimpse of the House We take you for a ride into the house today 👀 try it here and let us know what you think ✨ https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/gZYphBnsbYcS/house

Farcaster’s latest update sparked a lot of conversations. While the ecosystem explores new directions, we want to speak directly to the people who care about the social layer, because that’s where our conviction has always been. The Degen App is, and will remain, a social platform first. A place built for people, expression, culture, and connection. We’ve been building on Farcaster long before this week’s discussion. Our team has lived in this ecosystem daily, testing, shipping, listening, adapting, and we’ve seen first-hand what the community actually wants: Open, decentralized social experiences that feel genuinely fun to use. That belief hasn’t changed. If anything, it’s stronger now. Where some see a shift away from social, we see an opportunity to double down on it. Farcaster is still the most promising foundation for decentralized social, and we believe the best social apps will come from teams who already understand the network from the inside. Degen is proud of what we’ve built so far, but we’re even more excited about what’s ahead: new features, more community-driven input, and a product that continues to push toward our North Star: Becoming the best social experience on Farcaster. If you’re one of the people who still believe in decentralized social… If the Farcaster vision mattered to you… If you’re looking for a home for that energy… Download the Degen App & come join the community.
