now all my friends on facebook do they were the first offenders every year every year i have to bring it back yes icetoad you made it you made it in congratulations it's been a minute so

so apparently youtube youtube is not allowing people to join our stream for some reason like by the way this is why you can't depend on any one platform because they all f you at some point i mean i know they're i mean obviously people are on youtube because yeah

i see them see them

but something was was happening so

something some maybe that was the issue we had some weird error at the beginning of this show so oh if you're having a problem maybe like but if you have a problem and i'm telling you this is really not gonna matter because you're not seeing it yeah if you're trying to get into youtube right now

maybe you're

just seeing

later to the recording and

your close your youtube and try again i don't know yeah there was something weird that happened with streamyard right at the beginning of the show so that might have might have contributed alright let's move on this from bradq twenty nine seconds of farcaster what did you miss this weekend let's start with good news for vibe coders claude is doubling usage in off peak hours for the next two weeks i'm sure a lot of folks listening to this will be appreciative of that memes dawufi announced a farcaster agent boot camp starting march 30 and we'll talk more about that fc is experimenting with better discovery for mini apps and easier building we're gonna dive into that one vitalik shared a new ethereum mandate here i thought it was a manifesto but maybe it's a mandate and we'll talk about that and yasan shared previews of degen 2026 we are gonna be chatting with yasan on wednesday he is gonna pop by as our guest and we're gonna dive into like my first question is what's up with the sloth like talk talk to us about the sloth i need to have a better understanding of the sloth but we're gonna be chatting with him then and then better with burn mini app released a new game called letter loops and i did not know that was related to better with burr and i don't know how i didn't know that and we'll likely have a big week with plans for march madness so check out better with burr and then of course he shouted us out so if you are not following bradq you really should be he does a lot of good summaries and he also is curating the pulse on sofa.social sopha.social moving on this from rish this is long and i'm gonna read quite a bit of it so bear with me here we're experimenting with better first class experiences for builders on farcaster this means both better discovery if you launch something new doesn't have to 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 trading apps automatically two easier building instead of juggling different apps build directly within farcaster no separate email login or account setup shared 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 screenshot linked article the approach is in line with the prototype we shared earlier here so they also for building with neynar they did add a little easier access to the neynar studio within the mini app area and a little bit more here with fact fact what does it mean for this to be an experiment we will change remove things that don't work eg we tested a grock light icon on cast with neynar ai that didn't get enough usage so we removed it and it got a lot of complaints that's what it got so there you go b you can use this anyone using the farcaster app everyone can also start building for free see how will this grow the network what's next in this area a lots more work needs to be done to make the entire experience and funnel smooth to bring for bringing on new users these are the foundational blocks have to fix onboarding to be less trader centric allow apps to onboard new users etcetera d how much money is neynar making from this none we are losing money on every prompt every app by subsidizing every builder the goal is to make farcaster network more suited to making and sharing new things on the internet it's not possible to make profits on vibe coding products today if you have ideas or questions respond in the thread below so there you go i did like that under the new area or recent i guess it's called it should be called new mhmm my you know new formcaster thing got picked up there it is which i had just you know had just launched that day so that was cool yeah even though it's really not even fully out in the world and fully tested yet you still can see those things and especially from builders that you know that's gonna be really useful where you may not you know normally have seen something new that they picked up or that they had released they might have a smaller following we've had a lot of very small builders who build cool stuff and sometimes it's hard to surface that or even takes a little while even for us who spend a ridiculous amount of time looking at the feed so very cool so that was very cool to see and a little bit more here from rish if you want to dive in so there's gonna be iterations on this one of the big things that i saw from a lot of folks is that it was harder to find their most recently used apps which used to show up first and here's a hack for you if you click the search icon it shows you those first so it shows you that same kind of little bar of your most recently used apps so do that for now they've heard the feedback they've said they're gonna make some changes so but for now there's a little hack for you alright moving on anything else to say about that before i move on she's like nope nope nope i am

said it all

i am dark adrienne today and i have nothing else to say this from clanker new clanker ui to go alongside our b s c launch making it easier for projects teams communities and traders clank clank so this is on clanker.world i believe and they did add the binance chain so you can now launch on bsc just add on bsc when launching a top a token so if you're tagging clanker be sure to make to note the chain and then if you're doing it on clankerclanker.world you can select which chain you wanna launch on because there's multiple now that you can launch so you can also launch on arbitrum and is solana in there now i think solana's in there i don't remember there's a few things so being real good real good product spokesperson here ambassador so you have multiple options here for which chains you want to launch on and again if you're launching using the at clanker on farcaster just make sure you're specific as to which chain you want to launch on so this is cool to see and is this is all while dish is on vacation so there you go amate so so decentralized alright this from manan we had this weird thing happening where the wallet balances were not showing properly so this is from manan all widespread wallet balance related issues should be fixed now please report by replying if that's not the case one known edge case fixed fixed that's in progress tokens with super low liquidity usdc pair are not priced correctly so if they're paired with usdc rather than paired with eth they might not be showing correctly so just be aware and if you have anything else that your c is missing or off make sure you report it here yeah mine were like all kinds of crazy for a little bit there so i was like oh they seem to be missing a lot of money but it was there it was there we just had to find it this also we got a little issue with reconnecting to x accounts and neynar said it's not just you x reauth can fail if the prior token expired or permissions changed try this fully disconnect x in your farcaster client settings log out of x in your browser clear cache or use incognito reconnect and reapprove all permissions if it still loops it's usually an oauth callback mismatch or stale session on x's side if this is happening inside neynar powered flow drop the exact error and client and we'll dig in so i think this is when people are changing usernames and things like that or they somehow maybe they enter permissions on one side or the other

it may this may be something that just broke during it could be broken during the transition from merkel to neynar

it could be

so and because i tried this with word a day i was trying to link the x account and i got an error okay i was like okay i don't know if this error is on x's side i didn't know if it was on farcaster i kinda just ignored it but then i was building something using twitter authentic like authorization i was getting to see her and realized it was on my it was like had to do with that callback url

so it made me think maybe this is just a like a collateral damage with a with a transition and it may just not be working for anyone

okay so i think it's been flagged yeah we'll flag okay so rish is aware they've flagged it so i think there's yeah something something's broken and you're right it's probably handovers and things like that that may have may have broke some stuff alright so be all if you're having this issue just know they're aware and they're fixing so don't listen to neynar he's wrong you can try that it might fix it but probably not

he had a good it was it was good advice and

he did mention that it's usually an oauth callback mismatch and that's yeah i think that's probably what it is is my guess but we have no idea but rachel they'll get it fixed

they'll get it fixed alright moving on this from decrypt dubai's token $20.49 ton crypto conferences canceled as iran conflict rages on a pair of planned dubai conferences token $20.49 and ton connect have been pulled from the calendar amid middle east unrest and yeah i'm seeing a lot of anything that's happening in dubai is probably not happening so just plan accordingly anything that's happening in the middle east i would say totally but especially we there are do tend to be a lot of crypto related events that happen in the dubai area so that's not gonna be happening i think i saw something about i don't know if it was both of these or one of them moving to miami possibly so just look for that if this is something that you're planning to attend consensus is also in miami in may but it overlaps with farcon so i won't be going but there's a few things happening in miami as well this from limone calling all builders farcaster agenic boot camp march 30 to april 10 get hands on with farcaster primitives build mini apps and autonomous agents that post coordinate and transact with the social graph build and learn alongside the o g builders this is you learning and then building in the online hackathon where winners get a free farcon rome ticket and showcase on stage in rome we're already over a 180 applications come join us so this is very cool i think you said you're gonna be doing this correct

are you planning say that and i did sign up and then i just signed a vacation that entire week oh that's i was looking at my calendar and i'm like boot so yeah limone you can give my seat to someone else i'm off that week

yeah i forgot about that that does line up with school vacation week so by the way we'll also be off that week which we haven't announced yet but we've got one more week before that coming soon coming soon we got a couple weeks before that happens because i realized my got it my kiddo is the same same break

still wanna do something with the hackathon though

yeah but what are you gonna do like how are you gonna do it's gonna be a little late late i guess we could review after

so it but the i think the boot camp is to help you get up to speed about things

got it got it got it okay

and then the hackathon is still virtual i think the hackathon is afterwards

got it okay so this is the boot camp itself to get you ready to participate in the hackathon got it thank you for clarifying alright amazing this from bradq the demise of projects in minneapolis seem to be contagious and spreading throughout farcaster like a cold through an elementary school let's also recognize that there is a pervasive surviving and thriving of apps that simply don't get a special announcement betterment supporting creators and building community gm farcaster enough said no say more

never enough say more hey that's us that's us or today that's also you taking the timeline by storm better with brrrr starting to carve out the space separate from betterment by the way it's a whole separate app other activities just related but not the same qr.fun keeping attention alive in the bear on all the places expanding to ios recently which i still need to go test that out clanker shout out to divifly and your berserker and jordan i think i saw you in the chat there sofa curating the great stuff i would definitely recommend checking out sofa.social as i mentioned them before and you know there's more but man it's tough it's tough out there i would also shout out emerge we're gonna be talking with atown a little bit amongst traders for the new ones there's a few other new ones that i'm gonna talk about in just a bit so but there's a few ogs still hanging in there and we're one of them so there we go and then this on the same lines from kenny poidh is not shutting down its infrastructure nor ceasing operations quote casting hire is not shutting down its infrastructure nor ceasing operations and this little copy pasta went on for a bit i also posted it while saying as long as adrienne agrees like we're not shutting down but as long as she agrees i can't speak for i can't speak for us both i had had to make sure i put you in there alright let me get this next group of things we need to talk about open we got some builders that are still building things so it's very you know we we we continue on bear bear or bull we keep going and i also have formcaster which i launched last week but really haven't done too much with so if you're waiting to hear back from me just hold tight and i also launched sunday comics yesterday but ran into a problem with paragraph and i'm like paragraph are you there colin hi are you still there i'm getting nervous about them by the way i am thinking they might be following suit but haven't heard anything this is just more of a gut gut based on all the other things

you know we used to say no news is good news and i think in the world of startups no news is not very rarely good

no not good not good at all quiet quiet is quiet usually means something so mhmm and i haven't heard much from paragraph in a while yeah so i think they made that run at coining also that maybe did not go great so i think that you know i wouldn't be surprised but i know nothing but just fyi because i have a couple more of those things to talk about in just a moment so moving on oops this one this but speaking of people who just keep going

let's celebrate let's talk about those people

let's celebrate those people for a minute in our three hundredth and forty ninth episode today this from push who's been doing our clips for a little bit which we had to put just a smidge on hold but hopefully we'll be bringing back soon picture five years of your life one one thousand eight hundred and twenty five days now picture having a daily habit that takes three fourths of an hour each day you don't really know why you're doing it but you still wake up every day every 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 every day to speak about it tell people your story trying to make an impact trying to make everyone believe they can be like you they can have the 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 should 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 you once started as a 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 you feel 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 make sense to you not others i don't know how many more years that tiny little fire will find a way to shed 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 so this was five years of doing his art every day and when i read this i also think of somebody like beeple who's been doing it for like over fifteen years song of day man who's over sixteen years like the artists who have a daily ritual of doing something every single day is so impressive so shout out to you push and all the folks like you because that is quite an accomplishment any thoughts there adrienne

no just echo

i echo the same

yep so thanks push for sharing that that was pretty deep this from chaskin i encourage you to actually read the mandate it is a mandate i don't know why i thought it was a manifesto 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 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 ethereum community five hundred years from now i don't think there's any doubt about that so this was today the foundation's board released the ef mandate this document which is first intended for ef members reaffirms the promise of ethereum the role of ef within this ecosystem so give this a read when you have a chance i will be honest i have not read it i did look at some of the images they are weird and i think zelda on lsd is a perfect

perfect maybe we should all take lsd and read it yeah i'm down obviously basic

on lsd not kidding we know you're not kidding you don't have to say not kidding

no we believe you

oh that's funny and atown i see you down there i'm gonna do a couple more quick updates and then we'll bring you on up wow

joined at the erica you are are you in for the lsd reading of the ethereum mandate is that i

think that's a yes

that's that's what you mean

maybe this is how we get more people to come to farcon side side event reading the the ef mandate on lsd okay so we i i was using noise to do some word up tipping to those who are doing word a day and i noticed like the past couple days i'm like something's not working something doesn't look right i don't think something's working right because usually you can see in your history what was sent and for a while it'd been like sometimes it wouldn't send and i'd have to redo but it was still working and then it just wasn't working so i did tag the noise and noise app and tyke and did get this message hey we've deprecated the noise tipping app on farcaster we're working on a launchpad for early staff founders noise so so there you go would have appreciated maybe a little bit of more of a heads up proactively not because i asked so if you're using noise i don't even i would go and go to your revoke signers so we've told you how to do that before if you go to your settings advanced connected apps and you may wanna revoke permissions there so there you go yeah i was like oh that's an interesting way for me to find out anyway you're you're

just a journalist you're you're gonna gather the news and

gathering the news gathering the news this from ripsapp welcome to planks instead of ripping packs you're dropping balls through a board to unlock tokens simple fast addictive addictive let me say that again every player this week qualifies for first planks airdrop planks tge soon alpha now open to the community if you know the rips mini app then you're familiar with this team planks is like plinko from i'm going way old school that nobody's gonna even freaking know what i'm talking about but do you do you know the price is right people

yes if you're of a certain age and you were ever homesick from school you

working okay

know how to play

i don't think it's working ah or it's not working for me on here i played it way too much is what i will say because it was addictive but you get one free play a day it's fun it's just like you're sending a ball down a little thing and it's pretty fun so that's all and you win tokens as you play so there you go go try it out this from rish jonathan oh this is the report jonathan's app generated for nanr.com was pretty accurate this was from jonathan colton our friend here founder friends this is a v two of the distribution coach it analyzes your landing page to ensure it lands with your target customers share your website url and it will tell you what your page communicates about your problem solution and target market so pretty cool and rish found it helpful so go check that out and lastly this from toady there was an important psa where they had to temporarily pause the not so infinite round on betterment because one of the infrastructure partners and i i think i can say who it was now it was blueprint was having some issues that's who where the nfts are stored and they were having some issues that was fixed so now it is back up and running so just to let you all know that's what was going on there alright let me switch gears we are gonna bring up our friend atown just one second and i am excited to chat about some of the new things going on there and let's bring up atown to the stage welcome welcome back i should say

how y'all doing

oh my god it's a three hat day triple hatter

i like that hat i like your hat

she's she's got the fox

yeah it's cute

that's i know she's got her

i like your warplet shirt nice right dripped out over here

i'm dripped out it's cute

i went full i went full emerge for the

i see that i see that i like that hat a lot and i want the hat i like

that hat one for you right here next time i see you

i got you

okay because i need that hat

i only made 25 of them this hat's actually rarer than the 37 hats so

i will i will i will send you funds to ship it to me

yeah dm me i'll i will mail i'll mail you one just dm me right now

before he gives it away because i want it

i got you

i'm slightly obsessed with emerge so we've had you've had some new things but let's just take a quick step back just in case we've got you know bunch of folks almost 700 ish or whatever watching six fifty ish watching over on twitter and they may not be familiar with emerge so what is emerge before we dive into all the new stuff so people understand

cool emerge is an app that basically lets you monetize like ai prompts to create content and what it allows you to do is tag our agent or open up our app and you can give it a a a prompt for like a visual output basically and then it we take your prompt we process it and we create a like a comfy ui workflow that will generate really nice high quality ai content and it's personalized content so it takes in your pfp as a seed as an input and then runs it through the prompt and you get kind of like your personalized version of that prompt and the the creator of the prompt basically earns money when you use their prompts

perfect and let me hey

hey town let's just hold on can we just for people who aren't familiar to give like the example remember when your entire feed was full of givelifyd images

yes that's that was actually the big inspiration for emerge so it's a perfect okay perfect story here

amazing so like everyone's doing givelify so all everyone did was oh i see you're doing that i go to chat gpt or or i don't know like wherever i have them create it i post it and what try emerge does using the app is you don't makes it one super easy to generate but you as the per like if you were you're the one who kind of created that trend then you're getting you can monetize it you're getting rewarded like you're kind of based on yeah

the the goal is to give people tools to be able to like almost create like provenance of taste so like you saw something going down in the real world like the oscars are happening or you know jd vans fucks a couch or whatever you can like turn it into a funny prompt and then people can participate in the meme and we let you do that directly from the timeline you don't have to leave the platform and the person who had the you know the wherewithal to kind of like turn it into a a collection they earn as everyone dogpiles in and and participates in the meme

so here's the speaking of the oscars

this is awesome but i haven't seen this one

i created this one first so i did a pixar style group one but i i said keep timothy in there keep timothy chalamet in there and put everybody else in the audience so you got bradq way in the back he's up in the balcony and this is j c and adrienne adrienne fox ends up in the weirdest places because it doesn't always become a character she's a she's a purse she's actually you're a clutch

i'm an accessory

you're an accessory in this moment both jc and i are holding you as a clutch i love that burr has taking a selfie and then i was able to animate it and we get this version where my crypto ray ray is actually apparently won an oscar and is running to the stage so sorry timothy you lost to crypto ray ray

the the one you did also with michael b jordan at in and out was so good it was like one of the one of the best group photo ones i've ever seen honestly

i gotta i gotta pull that one up i forgot i did that one like just just this morning but this is one i love the mfers in this one i just think that's hilarious of the other version

the video is so good i haven't seen this one

so good so good came out so good and then you can go in and generate or now you can buy the token so we'll talk about that in just a second but you can go in and generate you can pick your own friends to do it with if it's a group photo and then you can also if it's an individual one you can do it somebody mentioned this in our chat you can gift it so that i love that you can do like a little gift for somebody else i've done that many times for many people when i just wanted to see what theirs was gonna look like i've done that for adrienne many times yeah many times

the group photos and the gifting i think are two of our best features because it makes like content creation multiplayer and that's really what we were going for is like a way to let the users draw in more people by you know you know what adrienne's into so you can create stuff for her when it's a a meme or a thing that you think that she would resonate with and so that just lets the the meme spread to the right people basically

and here's the michael b jordan one you were you were speaking of this is also a pixar pixar version but this is when he went to in n out if you guys didn't see that after the oscars so i dropped the photo in there and then just said make it like pixar style add these people make it a group photo instead of the workers put us in there in the back and so you're berserker you made it into this one brad q burt wurst is right there symbiote and me so with always my pizza and my dog so amazing it was fun it was a fun one so i loved i i love being able to be creative without having any artistic ability whatsoever

that's that's my tagline it's like we created emerge so that you don't have to have any technical or creative ability you just need an idea and an internet connection and that's it

and then i wanna show one more thing that some folks if again if you're new to emerge you may not realize this but you i have like a claim up here which i won't do right now but that's i'm getting a piece of anything that someone else generates that i created so that's what's happening there or now with new tokens and we'll talk about that in a second you can see that what i've earned and what i've spent you know i tend to just put it right back in and spend more

so that's the dream for me so i like it

i'm your perfect i am literally your perfect customer

you you really are the perfect user

it's it's a i'll do it

it's a it's a beautiful thing to watch

it's i am just constantly i've made so many like so so many over time there's the one i made for adrienne that one and then people make them for me as well like half of these i didn't even make myself like i didn't make that one but it's cool so sometimes people make them for me sometimes i create my own sometimes i see something on the timeline and just go create a zillion of them so yeah i i really love emerge so i'm a big i'm a big fan but there's a new thing new thing you created i'm gonna go to this one to kinda show hopefully maybe maybe i am oh that didn't work let me see if i can go into this one nope

click the let

title from the

oh oh oh wait a minute yeah

right there where it says pixar style click that title and that'll take you to the

take me out okay

collection page

yeah there we go come on maybe maybe alright let me let me circle back but let's talk about before we show that there's a new integration that you added with tokens so can you explain what's happening there and while i bring up statuettes because that was the one i wanted to show anyway sure so talk about like what what you guys did recently what this new addition is

yeah so my desire was always that we would be able to bring these workflows or these collections on chain and the obvious thing would be to like actually make the outputs be on chain which i'll talk about that in a second but when i think about how like a meme proliferates there's like two things that happen like the content gets shared widely and created widely which i feel like we've we've like nailed that already and we have that flywheel going and then someone tokenizes it and the token itself goes viral and that creates new discovery surfaces that don't have feeds right like people are watching trending surfaces on different deck screeners and telegram chats and stuff like that and so like the the when the 37 workflow went crazy and then martin created the 37 token that token did like 3,000,000 in the first day and like people were trading that token and they probably had no idea what the underlying meme was right so it allowed the meme to like expand beyond the farcaster universe into the broader like crypto twitter universe right so my desire was that like you're kind of getting a meme coin in a box you get like the content engine and you get the market for it all in one with this new feature and so the new feature was basically we decided that anyone who launches a workflow can tokenize it and turn it into an erc 20 token and we wanted to figure out like incentive mechanisms that continue to get people to generate so what we've done is when you the workflow creator launch a token you get 75% of the swap fees on that token and then the other 25% emerge takes as our like platform fee but it's what we do with the supply of the token that's kind of interesting so the creator share you get 25% but it's locked up for two weeks anyone who generated on your collection before you launch the token they actually get a share of the token like

that's really cool

twenty four hour airdrop we basically set aside 20% of the token for like supporters right and we have that 20% is distributed amongst a the first 100 people to generate on your workflow so let's say through three or four people generated before you even launch the token those three or four people they're gonna get their tokens a day like a day after you launch the token so that you know they're getting basically rewarded for being early right and and they can kind of like get those tokens in their hands ahead of time once the token launches however many of those 100 spots are left those people also earn tokens but they get theirs a week after they generate so they have like a week to claim right okay and and it's on a decaying curve so like the first person to generate gets the most tokens and the last person gets the least so it's

like oh that's cool

the earlier you are the more of the supply you're getting so like position one is getting like half a percent of the supply right and then position 100 they're getting peanuts but it's still better than nothing right and so all of these numbers are just like honestly we just figured out math that we felt good about and we'll kinda play around with it and stuff like that but the underlying goal was like how do we incentivize people to take the the main action that we want them to take which is pay 25¢ to get your output right now honestly i think the first couple of people will actually make money they'll make a profit

yeah pay the

25 get their tokens and then sell them obviously we're launching these at like a $2,000 market cap they're paired to usdc and we're launching them at 2,000 market cap so like 99% of these tokens will probably not be worth much but the whole point is like the person who launches the token now has a vehicle to create a market for the meme that they're proliferating and if they wanna go build on top of that token they can and they can drive value back to that token and the first people who generated on their workflows will be kind of like be part of that journey with them so it lets you kinda like cultivate a community around the meme many of these things are ephemeral and have twenty four hour lifespans anyway but like you know for every thousand of those there's gonna be one that you know breaks the the broader crypto zeitgeist and maybe has some staying power and so we just wanted to give people the vehicles to just fuck around and find out you know and just like launch a bunch of memes launch a bunch of tokens tokenize every little meta that you see and and see what happens and what's cool is that if you have any sort of following on farcaster it is likely that snipers are just like waiting for you to launch tokens

they really are what i'm doing is really are

i'm extracting the value from these people who are kind of like predatory and redistributing it to people who are actually like doing cool shit on the timeline you know so like i have no i have no qualms from taking money from snipers personally like if they wanna that's why statuette made $800 when she launched her token

right so i was just gonna i was just gonna share that so we had statuette launching this and you shared here's what trimerge just made for me using pfp in the city square holding sign by statuette spark yours up now also she already made 800 plus by simply tokenizing her collection so that was very cool and here was the actual workflow here and you can see all the different ones that have been launched there's all mine in there and then some of the other ones that have been added

so explain and there's statuettes that's what i was trying to get down to so you can see hers

so if you scroll back up on that workflow page

there's a green section

so you are gonna get 425,000,000 f love tokens in four days and two hours because you generated on this workflow

you generated after she launched the token so that's why yours are locked up for a week

well you you can see

like so that's my question to you when you hit launch token does it launch right away or is there a delay

it launches right away we're using the clanker sdk we launched the token at a 2 k market cap it is instantly like tradable basically the creator of a workflow is always the first generator of a workflow because we generate their output first so the creator of a workflow gets position one of a 100 and they get those liquid basically within twenty four hours and then they also get 25% of the supply a week i mean two weeks later so that's so that they don't like dump right when they get them basically it it gives the meme time to bubble up and and and you know get some air but that's generally how it works

and then so i had a i think i may have my timing on one of them i did this weekend to test it out which was the ides of march one i think something didn't go right because i couldn't buy it but i think it might have been timing on that because i think you guys in the background might have been when you were doing the switch from demo to the new thing or something i don't know something didn't yeah

we've had a lot of yeah so obviously we had to we had to replace our checkout tool because dymo deprecated our checkout tool also these are just brand new tokens and numbers and so there's a lot of weird things happening

like when you claim the airdrops you actually can't see the balance in your warplet because they're i don't know why but they're not picking up these tokens yet they're not indexing them yet like if you go look at your warplet in in ravi or or rainbow you'll probably see the balances right

and then the other thing is just like we don't know what numbers make sense for liquidity so like these tokens may not even be tradable because there might not be enough liquidity in there but the whole point is like we're bringing the horse to the water right yeah we can we can make you guys drink as far as like getting rewarded but it's up to the person who launches the token to like do stuff to give it value right like statuettes had value instantly because she's a popular account and someone was squatting on it and i think two snipers got wrecked and she made you know a bunch of money and that's great right that's great

she said everyone's using that she's like thank you for my my farcon trip

yeah yeah that's what she told me i was like

yeah like that's awesome great

hell yeah and you know emerge made $250 on that right

that would that would take us a thousand generations to to recoup right like yeah it's the it's just a much faster way to like figure out how to make money and and and like figure out where the value is in a meme right

and and we're all for that because we want these tools to sustain because they're fun so i'm for i'm all for that like finding other ways to to to to generate revenue yeah it's a feature not a bug snipers

getting percent that is my that is the main takeaway you should take away from this conversation is like snipers getting wrecked is a feature not a bug

mean sometimes they sometimes they profit and that's good because that's what keeps them coming back but sometimes they get wrecked you know so both things are good

they may get hip to what we're doing here and stop squatting on these tokens that are getting launched and that's just part of the game too you know but like the future of this is how do we find better ways to drive liquidity back to the token maybe we cut some of the like right now it's a $75.25 split on swap fees between the creator and emerge in the future i might do things where if you hold a certain amount of emerge you maybe you get a ninety ten split instead of a seventy five twenty five

oh that's cool

or we might do something where we carve out 5% of that 100% and we automate buybacks on the token so that we're driving some liquidity back into the token like we're gonna play around with different things but

i think those are all great experiments to yeah because it it's it's difficult especially in the current market situation but i think anytime to figure out the best way to manage the tokenomics for these smaller cap tokens or app coins so i love the i love that you're thinking about that and and trying to dial it in to see see what works i'd be happy if i just end up you know breakeven with what i'm putting into emerge think that

would be it takes is

all it takes is one one meme to pop off and you might you know be in the green for a while right like you might yeah

fantastic your next years of generation

this is my this is my emerge money now like go for it you know that'd be great this is these are goals

yeah that's that's the goal is just getting more people to i'm trying to make it where people are less precious about launching tokens you know like yes you you may get like random twitter accounts dming you like oh i just saw you launched

this token the dex pro yeah

yeah is this right yeah like

i'm getting them yeah

we're we're we're gonna get that stuff for a while but like soon people are gonna be launching tokens as as frequently as they're popping off cas in my opinion

right well that was the theory didn't work out so good for base app but i think this direction is a little different so we'll see we'll see go ahead

we all we we gotta we gotta keep trying things

we do we do have to keep trying things yeah

and by the way with anything new it's like it's almost like the first implementation of something rarely works when something true know and it doesn't mean the idea is wrong did you is token launching paused right now in the app

it shouldn't be

because your berserker was trying to make a gm farcaster one and said token launching paused oh

we were doing some database migration stuff but i don't think it should be paused if you let me look

we we're we're don't mind us while we do customer support live

if it's if it's broken we'll we'll take a look at what's going on but it should it should not be paused currently

yeah it does say launch token launching paused okay but can you launch it at any time like if you do an emerge and you don't launch the token right at that moment is that okay if you like see if it takes off a little bit before you launch a token or do you have to do it right at the same time

no like i mean i so i had played around with different models of how i wanted this to work like originally i was thinking i would wait until you reached a certain critical mass of like generations and then we would invite you to optionally launch it almost like like a pump fun graduation kind of thing where it's like okay your meme's starting to bubble up like maybe you should tokenize it in this moment but then i got worried that people would front run you and just clank it outside of merge like and so i didn't want to lose the value capture of the person who created the meme being able to tokenize it so that's why we came up with this like two sided thing where it's like launch it whenever you want whoever law whoever generated before that incentive mechanism was in place they're gonna get rewarded more because they were early and they get their tokens quicker and they get more of them and whoever comes after who knows that there's like a payout on the back end for doing it they gotta wait a couple days to get theirs but that's why we kind of like created this world where you as the workflow owner the collection owner can kinda choose what when you wanna do it basically

okay so that is a so so jordan you may still be able to do it but oh that's funny i got a note about it but maybe the app is getting a lot of traffic there you go maybe we were just generating tons of traffic while we were watch while everybody's watching the show

i'm literally screenshotting this error to my dev and being like what's going on here because i i

don't know what were too okay

well i i see this token launching is temporarily paused please try again later i i don't know what that's about but we'll get

it fixed alright adrienne sorry you had another question and i kinda jumped in there to clarify

no it wasn't even a question just talking about kind of the the model of the sniper fee and just it's interesting as a way to kind of seed something early on but you still then need to be thinking about sustainability

not so much for emerge necessarily but just anyone kind of yeah playing in this area so

yeah i mean we wanted to maybe also think about doing something where like a portion of the 25¢ that you pay to generate is automatically just buying back the token so that would create just like a direct you know if the token's getting i mean if the workflow's going viral and getting a lot of people generating on it then you get this you know like perpetual buyback machine but the numbers are just like you know buying 12¢ or 10¢ of the token isn't gonna really do anything so like i ultimately decided not to add that additional complexity but in the future i might add it where it's like can pay you can pay 25¢ to generate plus an optional additional like buy on of the token so that you could mhmm you could spend whatever you want i wanna do a $5 buy i wanna do a $10 buy and no matter what you're spending you're getting your output too so that's another place where we may experiment to find just ways to you know add it's really hard to like create demand for the token from within the product by itself like people have to people have to be interested in the meme itself or the topic itself for it to kind of proliferate outside of emerge and one of the next things we're gonna do is make emerge be an app that anyone can use outside of farcaster so you could just log in with your twitter and and use it you know as a standalone app and so that's where hopefully we can go after a much bigger population of people on crypto twitter who might wanna kinda partake in a meme right and then the other thing we're

working on now you have to come over to farcaster and that's not a bad thing so come on over and play around

be our thirty eighth and thirty ninth user

well yeah exactly like

there's room

i mean warplet brought a bunch of new people in so i'm hoping we can also find find ways to bring new people in for sure

it's really fun because you get that special specialization like which i just love that it's like it's me in this meme in some different way and i don't know it's always very creative and interesting and fun so i think that is a perfect it actually is a perfect fit to memecoins in the way that you're not gonna expect these to have staying power and that's okay like they are a true meme and that's okay because they might have a moment they might have a day they might have a week who knows they might be doge you know but it doesn't there's not there's less expectations i guess is my my point there

i want everything to be like like yeah low like low cognitive load on should i do this or should i participate in this it should just be like this is fun this is cool yeah this is happening i wanna i wanna like sign my name that i was there you know like atown was here is basically like when you pay your 25¢

oh we lost him right he i like it i like how we lost him right after you said atown was here

atown was here that was such a good way to end

well atown if you're still around come on back

come on back

come on back oh here he's back he's back oh there he is okay he's back by the way that was hilarious that you said atown was here and then you disappeared

i don't know what happened my my whole browser just crashed on me

oh no you opened too many emerge things he was generating too many things that was funny

i'm i'm like rapidly closing tabs right now just in case

i i believe me believe me when i say i i know that pain we've had it many a time where i'm like i think i'm going to disappear in a moment because i have too many taps open anyway a town out it was just a mic drop that's exactly it that was funny so okay so what else should folks know about emerge and what you guys have planned and what's what's you just i mean animations wasn't that long ago so you've got you can generate the the static image first then you can animate it and the animations are really fun and then now you've got the token in there you've got the group workflows which also very fun what else should we be expecting what else do you want people to kinda know about what's going on with emerge

yeah so the next thing big thing we're gonna release is it's gonna be like a separate app called emergables

gonna be very similar to the emerge app as far as like the ux goes but instead of launching collections you're gonna launch nft collections and so

the workflows will actually meant like when you launch a workflow you're gonna launch an nft collection on arbitrum and all the outputs will be nfts on arbitrum they'll be tradable on opensea they'll be royalties for the creator but it still will be like this idea of like you know personalized output so it'll be kinda like warplits right like everyone got their own personalized nft and we'll share like the mint fees with the creators they'll get the bulk of the mint fees but this was something that we had put in an arbitrum like grant application for toward the end of last year and we got approved on it and so the first milestone was just to start building it and now once we deliver the actual working app it'll unlock the next kind of like capital milestone for us which is gonna be huge because we are running out of money so it's like always just trying to keep

keep keep emerge going and it'll be really nice to have another influx of capital to just keep working on other things so yeah tokens nfts and then the big thing will be just letting people outside of farcaster and base app like try try the magic and you know we're gonna we're re rewrapping the app using privy authentication so that you can log in with your twitter or you can log in with an eoa but you have to link your twitter that way we can get a pfp from somewhere

right yeah you gotta be able to pull in the the image

and then once we get that out then if you know if things are going well we will maybe try to build a a worldcoin version of our app where we have to think of a new flow of because worldcoin does not have pfes or identities so we'll have to kind of create like

it to be like an upload or something yeah

like an upload or profile profile picture when you log in kind of thing so that's why we haven't gone there yet it's like

i didn't i didn't wanna figure that's there's just so many things you can do in emerge that i have to think through like every permutation of like the user experience and i didn't wanna open up that can of worms quite yet

i've heard that there's a very large audience though that in in that ecosystem so who does who does use apps and likes apps and so that i'm sure that's a good audience to target after you got the others other stuff in place

yeah and feel like it's you know people in other sides of the world who probably can't afford a $20 a month chatgpt subscription so they may have never played around with like a mid journey or a chatgpt and so this might be the first time they're getting this like magic of of creating you know visual content and they can do it for pretty cheap you know they're i mean they're earning their 3 or $4 a month on on free world coins and they can turn around and create fun workflows and maybe make money and we figured out the the issue by the way our our deployer wallet was low on gas so we're gonna fund that again and you'll be able to launch tokens again here shortly

sorry we used it up

i just i just created one if you can't if you couldn't tell when i was looking down

when she goes quiet during the interview she lets me do the hard work and she's in the background trying the whatever like what whoever we're interviewing she's over there like going away

i just did i screenshotted us on doing this and i created a guest spot on gm farcaster nice to upload now we gotta find it and be on gm farcaster

so see that that's actually like one of the use cases that i'm actually most excited about with emerge is like what i would call like a brand activation

better betterment did a really good one when we first launched yes deeper team did a really good one and so it again it's like for for next to nothing you can create a whole like campaign where people insert themselves into your brand and you get tons of ucg right and then if you want you can tokenize it and you know maybe even let people make you know get free money for doing it right so that's that's the goal is just like letting people participate in in in the meta very quickly it could be a brand meta it could be a meme it could be a moment it could be a could be a app coin if you wanted it to like you can kinda use it however you want it

betterment did a great one with like the better awards where everyone was in like that was really fun too when they were gonna do their award show that was really fun i've done mostly like things that relate to like something in the news or what's going on and it's just been a fun one so adrienne i'm looking for yours right now did you post it

mine it's still generating

oh okay when it's done post it so i can i can snap i can show it what show it on screen i was like i wasn't finding it so i wasn't sure if it was ready yet it does take a minute you gotta you gotta let the you gotta let them work

the ais work

gotta let them cook yeah you gotta let them cook was one other your go ahead

what's your biggest cost right now is it kind of ai infrastructure is it dev cost engineers what yeah engineering yeah

i've had to basically roll off almost all my engineering talent at this point just because it's like a it's a super expensive cost so i and i'm not a i'm not like a dev myself i'm people always call me the dev but i'm i'm a product person like i i tell them how i want it to work and then they go execute for me and at this point our team is so like they just love working on emerge so much that they're like we'll just keep working on it for free until you can figure something out you know so we're trying to see you know what our options are we applied for the the nitro accelerator that that monad's doing and i think we've gotten some decent signal that we're one of the more quality teams that has applied and so that would be really nice because it's like a influx of like $500,000 if we got into that

that'd be great

aside from that we're just trying to see like where else can we get grants or funding from to to kinda keep the keep the dream alive

i'd love to see and i have no idea what that funding process is but maybe if ethereum foundation i would love to see them supporting more things like this the small builders because i you know this is the thing that drives attention as well and you know you could even add like something ethereum themed every month or something i don't know but i think you know something lsd ethereum themed from their mandate things like that like i think that would they would be a good a good crew to go to maybe nouns i don't know some days some days i say yes some days i say i don't know

yeah we we've actually been talking about nouns and you know i've i've workshopped some potential proposals that i wanted to send that way and we're we're trying to find the right balance of like what can we build that we know we can execute on quickly that would still drive value to the meme right that's what nouns are all about it's like how do we proliferate the meme using kind of like the ai tech that we built and you know that that may be something where we put in a proposal here soon so i

i'd love to see that

i would love you help rallying the votes for it

i'll be happy to help when you're ready let me know

cool yeah

i'll be happy to post it yeah because i'd love to i'd love to see that and i think it's something that's very nounish in general like i you know it's anytime anyone with a pfp that has noun's glasses in it it does some really fun things with it when you animate it too and so i think there's something something to be done there i do want i have one other question for you because i saw this from our guest who was

friday saltorious said big shout out and thank you to atown and try emerge they are helping me out with some of the inference overhead for among traders this has also enabled me to do some really cool things like fine tune models on existing game output the game rules other natural langle language data sources like reddit discord and forums for social deduction games there's plenty of other ways the game can plug into existing tooling that tri emerge has to offer the deliberation decision making and reaction cards being played are all getting a huge performance boost the updates will go live shortly so look out for them so just kinda wanted to you're getting a shout out so i wanted to share that shout out with everyone else so it's nice to see the builders working together on these things so very good

on that one you know i worked pretty hard to get us into the google for startups web three program and with that program we got a $100 of like google credits that basically cover anything in the developer console so all of emerge's inference like our text processing our image generation with with nano banana our video generation with vo we've done a lot of work to make it all run through our google like account through comfy so all of that is like subsidized through that google grant and we're not spending anywhere near you know the ability to spend that full $100 in the first year so what we did is we spun up a separate api key for the the amongst traders app so that saltorious could run his inference through our google account

that's awesome i love to see that collaboration because we had him on friday i started playing that game like not long after launch and i was obsessed so i still haven't i haven't had a chance to go back in and play again but we played live on friday it was so fun so i'm glad to see and i think it's very creative and different and i love seeing like sort of these different takes on things that i'm not seeing anywhere else especially around ai adrienne is your generation done yet have you posted

i think i did not do a great seed photo i don't think i or or i didn't prompt it's

does it need help there's a

lot going on in in the in in the output

are you gonna share it or are you gonna try to refine first

i don't know i should hold on let me see

i'm just waiting for her to i'm just waiting for her to cast it so i could show

do i have to cast it for people to see it i guess so

i mean or i can try and hunt it down in the mini app but it'd be easier if you just cast it then i can find it quickly

like i screenshotted us none of us look good because i was like oh our faces will get updated with other people's pfps but no there's just other people's pfps mixed in okay

oh that's funny

i should refine it it

was you might need to refine a little bit that's so funny you do have to give it a little prompt i mean and and i think the more often that you do it you start figure out like when you need to add a little extra and when it's normally it's really good and it just does it but every once in a while like i've had to massage it a little bit mhmm just to get it where i want it to be so this might be one of those instances and also i've told you how long it takes me to like find a good shot and you're like oh i don't need to look good i'm like yeah you do and now you understand why it takes me a while to get the shot for the cover it's not as easy as it seems so if you look up right now and smile then i won't have to i won't have to struggle as much adrienne so i'll just wait i'll just wait she's busy quick smile for me

sorry sorry

see what i mean

i get very i know we're on a livestream i get very distracted i'm getting like fraud messages from from my friends that i'm also dealing oh

boy anyway we may never see we may never see the generation it might it might take it may take some effort

i'll post this i'll post that after

i also like adding like you know i like doing it in like pixar style or cartoon style or i think i did my the the ides of march one i was like keep it in a renaissance style like just just to say and it

was i think it does help get a better output when you anchor it in a particular style because the more free rein the ai has like the worse things get basically

yeah yeah i think it does the style definitely seems to help oh okay wait a minute i think jordan jordan put it up there for us

yeah and it

for sure if

it's a style it's familiar with like it then i guess it doesn't know farcaster's number one new show weird

it does not it went yeah it went a little rogue yeah it went a tad crazy yeah we might need some you might need to refine that just a bit

like this one was really fun this one was fun with the and and the animated one was even better it was really funny so but i like how again adrienne's an accessory she's in a banner at the top there was something else where she was like a shield or something so she's always like an accessory somewhere in there but it's really fun and i do like i think the animations are fantastic they really sometimes they really surprise me how good they are this one was really funny alright anything else that we didn't cover that you wanted to shout out or talk about that's coming up for you or anything we we may have missed

no i think i just would love more people you know like obviously like i can't force people to launch tokens some people have tokens that they're already trying to support and they feel like it would dilute their community if they launch other tokens but i want people to think of these tokens completely different from like project tokens or app tokens equity tokens like these are

markets for attention and attention is fleeting and if you can capture lightning in a bottle on on things that people are paying attention to with a workflow this just gives you an even more liquid way to like let that attention flow and so open to all feedback i will just say like we are a small team with limited resources so like while you may send me the best idea in the world i still might not be able to act on it quickly because i just don't have the resources to do that and so i would have loved to get this feature out like a month ago or two months ago but you know other things we've we've had to just kinda work with what we got right and so we're continuing to try to ship fun things that people can experiment with and yeah just love the fact that people really enjoy using emerge and hope hopefully we can try to get more people using it when we expand beyond mini app

we do have one important other question in the chat will arsenal win the ucl

well this past weekend man city dropped points so it's looking like a lot better that we're gonna win the ucl and the youngest ever premier league goal scorer happened this weekend he's 16 years old and he scored for arsenal wow in the ninety six minute and so yeah i think there's seven games left and i'm i'm feeling very very good that arsenal's gonna win and i know k maxx a liverpool fan so i'm also confident that liverpool will not win

oh oh he asked me

about the the champions league yeah i'm feeling good about the premier league i'm feeling less confident about the champions league but i still think we have a good shot so i'll be rooting for my boys

alright well there you have it k mac there you have it and by the way it was a three hat day just so you know k mac is the one who yeah who likes to point that out alright thank you so much atown we're gonna let you go we'll we'll see you on the feed usually in some sort of emerge generation is usually how i see you these days but thanks for stopping by and i'll be reaching out about a hat

yeah need a hat dm me your address i'm not gonna charge you i just i'm just gonna

i will be happy to pay for shipping if you if i will be happy to pay for shipping i just want the hat thanks so much j town we'll see you adrienne look up and say goodbye thank you

like at least say goodbye say goodbye to the guests

i'm a little busy here you know i got i know

i know you're generating things and yeah

i didn't even get to ask him which which direction he faces in the shower

oh no well you know what that sounds like a great opportunity for an emerge an emerge workflow

oh yeah keep that safe for work but yeah we should have our we should do that eating a kiwi

funny eating a kiwi we could do all the all the memes is it's so so fun

so fun it it really is

so fun it is it's one of my favorite mini apps since it launched just and i and i go through phases where i get a little obsessed as you can see from my my p and l my emerge p and l i spend a lot more than i than i than i get to claim but that's okay because i i just like it i just do it for fun it's a joy and if you like nfts if you've been watching this over on twitter and you're like i have never seen this happen i have no idea what it is and if you like nfts you will love this because it really take it takes that sort of generative pfp kind of vibe and you get this very unique thing that is very fun so mhmm highly recommend checking it

his attitude about the tokenization of things too

yeah i do too

up here you've got securities yeah like of like where you're thinking about traditional finance and we keep trying to create this kind of tokenization layer on things that are not capital c corporations and what what that means and you you're kind of bringing all this baggage in in terms of and we obviously saw jesse do this with the base app was like look every creator should have a token and every content should and ptsd and that's legit and that's fine but but i the i just the experimentation vibe of like just try things and yeah don't don't overthink and it's not that deep and it's kinda cool

yeah and i don't you know i don't disagree i didn't disagree with the thesis i felt like early and execution maybe wasn't the right direction if that makes sense like i i think the zora app there's something there it's very interesting but why i like this is it gets this like creativity where you become part of the meme in terms of the visual and then the token's secondary right the token's gonna be whether or not you you know you can decide just not to even launch it if you didn't want to and just stick with the creativity or if all of a sudden it's popping off like crazy you're like oh maybe i should launch that thing you know what i mean like it can be sort of a like that most of the time you know i've never expected to make money off of my emerge workflows i do it for the love you know so

but it is fun to

like see it and be able to see that when you've created a you know when you create a meme and then you see 20 of your friends also yeah launch you know it's it's fun

it's fun and you and i also like the idea that you can do it for other people if you see one and you're like i've gotta see what this looks like with this person's pfp and i did that with there was that one that was the escher i think it was the escher one that i think garrett had launched it the stairs and like that one with rachel wilkins' pfp was just phenomenal i was like i just wanna see what this looks like and it was fantastic so it's just like sometimes it's just like a creative moment that's just really fun alright everybody like a better version of a content coin yeah i mean that's what it feels like a different iteration of a content coin that's not about necessarily your thoughts on the timeline but like an actual creative moment that maybe has a that takes off and that's speaking to something meme memefied in the you know in the world or whatever so mhmm anyway alright everybody this has been fun we're gonna have another fun show on wednesday that you're not gonna wanna miss with yasan and we're gonna be talking degen and it's gonna be i'm really curious to see you know his thoughts on the sloth what's going on there i you know i really am curious to get a better understanding of what the direct new direction is and where we're going with degen so that is gonna be wednesday join us right here if you need some notifications add the gm farcaster mini app over on farcaster or base app still maybe not sure that's quite ready anymore i don't know should you did you
