Thank you all for your patience here. Our infra partner has finished their security investigation and has given us the all-clear, so today’s @betrmint round featuring art by the lovely @juujuumama.eth is now back in business. Happy spinning!

Big shout out, and thank you to @atown and @tryemerge! They are helping me out with some of the inference overhead for Among Traitors. This has also enabled me to do some really cool things like fine tune models on existing game output, the game rules, and other natural language data sources like Reddit, Discord, and forums for social deduction games. There's plenty of other ways the game can plug into the existing tooling that @tryemerge has to offer. The deliberation, decision making and reaction to cards being played are all getting a huge performance boost. The updates will go live shortly, so look out for them!

The demise of projects and mini apps seems to be contagious and spreading throughout Farcaster like a cold through an elementary school. Let's also recognize that there is pervasive surviving & thriving of apps that simply don't get a special announcement. @betrmint - supporting creators & building community @gmfarcaster - enough said @word-a-day - taking the timeline by storm BETR with @burr.eth - starting to carve out a space @qrcoindotfun - keeping attention alive in the bear /glanker - shoutout @diviflyy & @yerbearserker @sopha - curating the great stuff and many others...shoutout to the builders that are thriving!

here's what @tryemerge just made for me using PFP in City Square Holding Sign by @statuette, spark yours up now! Also, she already made $800+ by simply tokenizing her collection through @tryemerge

All wide-spread wallet balance related issues should be fixed now. please report by replying if that's not the case. 1 known edge case fix that's in progress. > tokens with super low liquidity USDC pair" are not priced correctly.

We're experimenting with better first class experiences for builders on Farcaster. This means both 1. Better discovery If you launch something new (doesn't need to be an app), there is now a specific feed on the second tab that showcases this. Top carousel picks up new trending apps automatically 2. Easier building Instead of juggling different apps, build directly within Farcaster. No separate email login or account setup. Share directly to the network when done. We will iterate through this as we learn, feedback is welcome The goal is the same as what we stated when we started the acquisition process (see screenshot, linked article) https://neynar.com/blog/neynar-is-acquiring-farcaster. The approach is in line with the prototype we shared earlier here: https://farcaster.xyz/rish/0xc00a9fa4 FAQs (a) What does it mean for this to be an "experiment"? We will change / remove things that don't work. E.g. we tested an Grok like icon on casts with Neynar AI. That didn't get enough usage so we removed it. (b) Who can use this? Anyone using the Farcaster app. Everyone can also start building for free (c) How will this grow the network // what's next in this area? Lost more work needs to be done to make the entire experience and funnel smooth fo bringing on new users. These are the foundational blocks. Have to fix onboarding to be less trader centric, allow apps to onboard new users, etc. (d) How much money is Neynar making from this? None, we are losing money on every prompt and every app by subsidizing for every builder. The goal is to make Farcaster a network more suited to making and sharing new things on the internet, it's not possible to make profits on vibecoding products today. If you have ideas or questions, respond in the thread below and I will answer throughout the day

I encourage you to actually read the mandate and take in the images. It’s weird. It’s intentionally weird. It's like zelda on lsd haha The greatest innovators in history were weird and curious people. Leonardo da Vinci was “weird, matchlessly weird, and nothing to be done about it” I hope people say the same thing about the Ethereum community 500 years from now https://x.com/ethereumfndn/status/2032460726728573298

Picture 5 years of your life, 1825 days. Now picture having a daily habit that takes ~3/4h each day. You don’t really know why you’re doing it, but you still wake up everyday goddamn morning knowing that mission won’t carry on itself. So you put the work in, day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute. You don’t really know where you’re going, but you just know you’re willing to die for it. Then, you use the time you have left everyday to speak about it, tell ppl your story, trying to make an impact, trying to make everyone believe they can be like you, they can have that delusional self belief too. But the world is not ready for your empathy, so everything you’re doing becomes even more foggy and sometimes meaningless to your eyes. You question yourself. Am I losing time? Should I do something else? Shoud I stop? Should I change?Should I sell my soul? And in that dark cloud of disbelief you’re forced to deal with this tiny little flame in you that won’t go away. So what once starter as an habit became stubbornness, and you find yourself hiding in this infinite loop of inner serenity, just to preserve your inner child dreams and to try and make it right for him. And then you look back at it. You stop for a second to admire what you did. It makes you feel good for a minute, it makes that child feel proud of you. But it’s somehow not enough. It’s not what you’ve worked hard for, it’s just a bunch of disconnected dots that only makes sense to you, not others. I don’t know for how many more years that tiny little fire will find a way to sheed that pale light of hope in the blackest of smokes. All I know is that I will do anything in my power to make that little kid proud of me again. Day after day. Whatever it takes.

Every collection on @tryemerge can now have launch its own token. Creators plant. Generators cultivate. The earlier you show up, the more of the garden belongs to you. Token Launchpad is live. Cultivate the culture.
