0:19Speaker 2

i yes because i i live on the internet and that freaking dog was all high

0:24Speaker 1

everywhere everyone love that dog i love this dog there are so many versions of this dog and it looks quite similar to mookie it looks like mookie's like older sister definitely like hanging out and this is exactly how i imagine that if he was doing this course i don't i think he would just walk past them i don't even think he would knock them over he would just go like whatever i don't even know if he'd make it that far he'd probably lay down at some point

0:55Speaker 2

the first time i saw this i did i went i was like wait was he supposed to be knocking him over no right

1:00Speaker 1

he's supposed to be going in and out of them like a slalom that's usually what these agility courses are also pretty sure supposed to be jumping over the hurdles not under and through the hurdles so he's so cute he's so cute i can't stand it by the way the best for and become ungovernable perfect mhmm perfect line well done barstool but also there's a version of this with rage against the machine that is my favorite version it's hilarious absolutely hilarious so yeah that's my background today but we have a lot of fun to talk about today we've got a lot of news a lot of fun things people are building and most importantly we are announcing our grants today for the clanker ecosystem fund so about thirty minutes in we'll get to that so let's get this party officially started and we will be back on the other side of this sixty seven seconds so give a retweet give a recast let people know you're watching and we'll see you on the other side

6:04Speaker 2

alright mike seems to know as well is there a kyle

6:07Speaker 1

there's a kyle yes kyle's arc from villain to victim must be amazing insanity this is my my life outside of here is all about summerhouse right now

6:21Speaker 2

is summerhouse is it bravo

6:24Speaker 1

yes okay it's like year ten and this and the the reunion started on tuesday and it's going for like three more parts and it was the best i've watched many a bravo reunion many a housewives reunion and i that was by far the best highly recommend even if you don't know what the hell's going on you'll catch up quick it was worth it anyway

6:47Speaker 1

lol the dog i know he's so cute alright and it is black shirt day yes it's black shirt day and clinker hat day so there you go i'm sorry you didn't get the email you didn't get the email but here we go and i'm actually wearing my eat sleep clank repeat shirt from vinted merch so i am ready for today alright moving on to the local news aka farcaster news we had a community call yesterday so that happened yesterday it does happen the end of the month there is a fabulous notion doc that had all of the details of the agenda which is really helpful also if you want to get just an over quick overview and we'll include this link in our show notes and we're going to talk about a lot of these like spaces launch now it's open to everyone snaps and cast composer they do this once a month so some of this news we've already talked about but just kind of reviewing real quick expo fifty five upgrade is completed this was the react native client was on the end of life v 53 version 53 and there were a lot of issues and it took a little bit to get the updates through the app stores so thanks for the patience if you're still having bugs and concerns tag the team intern is watching home feed lots of lots of things happening auto translation is gonna surface non native language cast to relevant users so that's exciting spam bot scam mini app detection has improved significantly and i saw peachy point that out as well and peachy's our spam expert so if she says it say it because if it wasn't true

8:37Speaker 2

you believe it mhmm

8:38Speaker 1

she would tell us in app browser improvements in progress secondary private wallet took longer than expected due to architectural changes required to support multiple wallets with different seed phrases so eta one week that's still really soon if they can get sloq back for like an hour they can probably get it done we love you sloke we miss you in the developer part of the call mainar starter and growth tiers will be folded into the free tier so now there's gonna be a much larger option for a free tier and only the scale and enterprise will remain paid so that's exciting so if you're building on neynar and using any of their tools i believe within i think june it said this will be the new fee structure so if you've been paying that like $29 tier i assume is that's what's gonna move to free so that's exciting in clancor cef happens today we're gonna talk about that in a little bit hygienic experiments are a few weeks out from mvp and they'll share more when they get closer that's gonna be really interesting we've heard a little bit about that but excited to see that roll out and see how that works b five contract work has begun so so this is gonna be a multi month project and will require an audit but there's in the process token discovery search and trending improvements have landed there was a recent incident where a user was exploited via a sniper auction contract due to a non atomic approvals this was a user error not a clinker protocol exploit totally missed this one by the way so the clinker contracts were unaffected so just to clarify that and clarification on mainnet clanker tokens can be launched on mainnet via sdk but they can't be like by just tagging clanker right now because there is some additional gas required lastly we've got some things happening on the protocol level fips sign snap say snap chain signers two sixty six is live users can now issue signers with granular permissions rather than global access barcaster backend to snapchain signers is the pipeline and he's kevin's on leave for the week i think he's just on a little holiday and he'll be picking that back up when when he comes back live activity status this was what you're seeing for spaces but there's more coming or can be coming we'll see what they end up doing with it so this is implemented and activating june 4 useful for presence indicators video streaming etcetera so i'm hoping we can do something with that but i guess we'll find out and then live activity manifest two sixty nine is in review snap chain improvements a bunch of snap chain improvements have happened as well as validator expansion they are seeking operators to run snap chain validators in new geographies initial mumbai testnet went ran run went well so they want to open this up to have greater geography

12:00Speaker 1

options across the world so there you go so that was the community call there was some discussion at the end regarding hypersnap snapchain this is the same discussion that's been happening and where the fork discussion came from so it's the same discussion cassie feels that the hyperchain hypersnap nodes should be recognized as snapchain nodes the nienar team disagrees they're open to her running a regular snapchain node but don't wanna move to that so we will see

12:37Speaker 1

we will talk more about that or actually let me just share her cast on that and you can read more about that but this is cassie's cast after the community call it is quite long i am not going to read the whole thing there's also some reference to

12:57Speaker 1

equilibrium so you can check that out but they she had you know some concerns and also clarifications so if you want to take a look at that also again not going to read this whole thing from links but recommend you read this as well has a lot of long term farcaster og had some thoughts on the growth of the network and having the two different sort of i don't want to call them factions but two different approaches and how maybe we can come together so go take a look at that as well we also had this from manon and again i'm not gonna read this whole thing because it's very long on adding more validators our criteria for adding validators right now is simple run snapchain oh thank you not to be neynar and be in a geographical region different from the current validator set why prioritizing stability decentralized one variable at a time and top priorities in order right now geo and no majority so you can read a full discussion about this there's also a bit of a spiciness in replies so we'll let you explore that yourself and i don't know if links's thing was showing or cassie's but let me just share those real quick so that was links's post we recommend you go give that a read and cassie's as well post community call adrienne anything else you wanna say about the community call in terms of what happened

14:30Speaker 2

i i will just plug that everyone's invited so feel free to join and listen in and kind of hear from people directly i think i was i was someone was asking me after the call to kind of like summarize the how it went and i think it's really hard or like what the consensus was after the call and i think it's really hard i don't think there was any one consensus at the end which is why i think it's important for people to go and make up your own mind

14:58Speaker 1

yeah

14:59Speaker 2

i and and i think there are some people who are conflict avoidant and see disagreements taking place publicly and feeling like that's indicative of something bad or that like unhealthy and all i'll say is i my personal opinion is like a a loud vocal community is much better than a unattended community call or a silent one so it's definitely people have opinions because they care and

15:30Speaker 2

and yeah and and and i think it's good to you know be be able to discuss things out and if you have opinions you know voice them

15:40Speaker 1

yeah get in there and share yeah and it was and there will be more there's a monthly call community call i did see that i think it was peachy say that she was gonna try to run one in between the two calls like every other week kind of thing we'll have some kind of call that would that people could join but also you can spin up your own space like nobody's stopping you spin up your own space if there's things that you wanna chat about and if there's enough interest you'll you'll have people floating in there so definitely recommend that but come to the call really good way to learn or listen back if you can't be there if the timing doesn't work the recordings are available okay speaking of spaces we have this from the farcaster intern updates spaces are now live for all users to join or start a space go to the spaces tab in the sidebar we'll be continuing to make improvements and experiment with them so please continue to send bugs and feedback so they did start it with pro this was just a way to kind of manage the beta process it wasn't like intentionally exclusionary it was just a temporary thing so now it is open to everyone

16:53Speaker 2

yeah when they they were also talking about what to do with pro features because that yeah i don't know if i'm covering that because that's the people who bought the year coming up for expiration yeah okay yeah but yeah there was a little bit of like some criticism of like oh boo you know this feature is only available to pro it's not really meant to be exclusionary it's a tactic for rolling out new features right so that you can kind of iron out the bugs and find out any major issues with a small subset of people

17:20Speaker 1

so before you scale it to larger

17:22Speaker 2

yeah for people who are interested in that like who want early access to features like that can definitely be a feature of pro so if you but also the flip side of that is like you're paying extra of a pro just to get a buggier product so who

17:35Speaker 1

don't don't complain if you're

17:36Speaker 0

i don't i don't i mean

17:39Speaker 2

i don't know why you would want that

17:40Speaker 1

just so you can test stuff because because

17:43Speaker 2

we're weird

17:43Speaker 1

we like to be first that's why but yeah you're right you're right things but yeah we like to break things we like to be shlomi this from street photos spaces could be a huge factor in farcaster's revitalization and it's something that's been asked about for ages turns out listening to the community is beneficial to growth at least i hope it will be spaces links on x would be a good next step ish once the bugs are ironed out still need to come over to farcaster to listen to them though so you could link it over there but still gotta come over here so be on the lookout for those you'll see them when you log in at the top of your feed and or using the little spaces microphone over here to find them this from thosmer they kind of fix the android app go far cast or go so that's good i know the folks who are on android this has been an issue since day one like literally i i don't think i have i don't remember a time when it wasn't an issue with android so you know i'm glad it's better but also i like the kind of the kind of

18:58Speaker 2

i think he casted after that like just kidding it's not fixed

19:02Speaker 1

or something like he does maybe not maybe it just worked for that minute just bear with bear with yeah there's there's still gonna be issues i'm sure this my favorite

19:15Speaker 2

part by the way my favorite part and i assume a lot of the android issues were related to the expo upgrade maybe not but i i was getting the feeling maybe it is and eventually they'll get back but when people were complaining last week about having to use the desktop app because the i because the you know mobile app was so borked but i was remembering back to when there was no desktop app yeah it was just a mobile app in the beginning it was like just an iphone app i'm not even sure if it was on android

19:45Speaker 1

i think it was just iphone

19:47Speaker 2

and then they released desktop as a pwa originally and it never worked for me i don't know how to do it

19:55Speaker 1

for this you went to the office you were actually in the office trying to get them to fix it

20:00Speaker 2

i just remember like tagging me like where and i showed up at the office i'm like can you guys fix this for me and so it's i just think it's ironic that now a few years later it's like oh the desktop app that's what's stable and works i know mobile app so it's a mobile there will always be something too

20:19Speaker 1

the mobiles have been funky and i do think a lot of it has been related to that react native issue so alright moving on large batch of farcaster pro memberships expire tomorrow except not really we're taking our time to figure out what pro should look like from here both community and the team are in a very different place than when pro launched and we want to be very intentional about figuring out what's the right mix of pro features is the old pro features are still there if you feel those are integral to your fc experience and want to renew but don't we but we don't expect everyone to we have ideas we're excited about including some highly requested features but we're not rushing anything out more to come fyi as we roll out new things like we've done with spaces users of a pro will likely continue to be our first test group but we'll be very clear each time about what will be rolled out to everyone eventually however it actually wasn't they didn't expire so that was the date they sold stuff but the actual expiration date is june 16 very important day best date best date best date in the world so i think i found this is from the varcharkaster intern i think i found the disconnect may 27 was the day they started selling pro but the pro features didn't hit until june 16 so it appears merkle set the expiry to be a year from the date they gave everyone the features so there you go so they've got a couple more weeks to figure this out so happy birthday to me on june 16 hopefully you'll figure it out by then alright moving on farcaster batches is next week this is gonna be a lot of fun we're gonna be doing twitter spaces for this first of all because farcaster spaces didn't exist then but also we want to cast a wider net and get as many folks giving attention to these amazing projects as possible so june 1 this is going to start monday wednesday and friday there's going to be farcaster batches day where we're featuring various founders and then tuesday and thursday there's going to be a workshop still figuring out specifics on that but this is we're going to have chris dalinski vinny apt kenny from poidh nikki sapp for duke jonathan colton founders check doctor deeks ghost rider so this is gonna be exciting that is day one well multiple projects for doctor deeks day two which actually day three for the founders part of this farcaster batches we're gonna have zal for the zao your berserker empire builder azie flynn for dota agents matthew from geroncology which i don't know what that is so i'm really interested casalsman for booster and duckfax for celebration hub yay duckfax by the way duckfax did a community talk or demo did a demo for celebration hub and it was the cutest like cutest one like it was like the design of it was just really fun so if you haven't watched those yet they are on the far gm farcaster playlist for far con rome go check it out but it's really super cute and finally on friday we are going to have jrf and marquis i think talking about atlas if i'm getting that one right node for d key 0xjud for letter loops bass designer for powerlink toadyhawk for betterment and darko for runner so this is going to be super fun very excited about this and also look for the two workshops which are designed for tuesday and thursday to help you learn how to build there's also the vini app competition where they'll be giving away 500 usdc for the best vini app made next week so this from jubjub who is came up with this concept came up with the whole plan he's been doing the work i'm so excited for farcaster batches next week every project is amazing and getting to interact with this beautiful community has me buzzing thanks again to the gm farcaster team for hosting and then it became a lovely copypasta so feel free to copypasta away by the way really it's also a few you keep doing categories that are like just so random like coffee pasta creating a whole coffee pasta category you can change it you can put it back to

33:40Speaker 2

humans yes so wait are humans allowed to bet or is this only for agents

33:45Speaker 1

i assume that humans can as well but i don't know he might just be so what mike always does is when he wants to experiment with something new that base is released he always comes up with something creative way to do it and this is absolutely hilarious so okay

alright we're gonna read this and then it will be casted after the fact so apologies i did have this ready to go we are so excited to announce round one of the clanker ecosystem fund grants thank you to dish for first coming to us with this idea and to rish and team for entrusting us as stewards we've created four categories of grants we i put out a cast the other day really went into detail about the what these grants are and so i'll just quickly summarize we have builder grants these are for the older og projects they've been around for a while they're they're they've demonstrated their value and we want to make sure we we give them sort of like the highest regard sustainability grants these are a little smaller still important and really are the goal there is to help those teams keep going especially if they're struggling a little bit with infra costs and things like that we know there's a lot of folks who are dealing with that so that is really what we're looking at for that if you get a sustainability grant this month doesn't mean you can't get a builder grant somewhere down the road it doesn't and none of these grants that we're giving out prohibits a future grant as well so this is you know could be a one time thing or it could be something we do again depending on the value that we see coming out of the grants that we give out then we have something we're calling fresh clank grants these are smaller grants intended to recognize projects that they've created a lot of energy and attention they're new we don't know what they're you know if they're gonna have a long shelf life we have no idea but they're driving a lot of attention and energy to the ecosystem right now and we want to make sure that we are recognizing them and then lastly we have activation grants activation grants are have a specific purpose so we're giving them to the builders to do something with it so it might be running a tournament of some sort running a game running a competition it might be doing giveaways of some sort it might be creating something new in a game you already have that exists or whatever so something that's new and exciting that can involve the community and that's what those grants are really for before i start announcing adrienne anything else that you want to mention before we start going through our list

38:39Speaker 2

no just i guess on the activation grants just anyone receiving an activation grant does know ahead of time that they're getting them like we've had a conversation and they right that they they want this to it's kind of we we think so

38:53Speaker 1

yeah i did it

38:54Speaker 2

so this is kind of funds that is going like going directly back into the ecosystem for growth

38:58Speaker 1

right

39:00Speaker 2

i've heard rich say a lot when he talks about the cf that these grants are kind of no strings attached so right they they really are no strings attached with the kind of asterisk for the activation ones which we've had conversations with and this

39:15Speaker 1

is right exactly yeah exactly so everything yeah there's everything in terms of like any of the other grants sustainability builder fresh clank there's no expectations do with it what you want activation grants we do have a little expectation we'll confirm people are good with that and then there is some kyc that is required yes so we will be touching base with everybody on that and directing them to what we need for them to proceed all right continuing on we have three builder grants that we're giving this time around along with activation grants to each of these builders these are longer term builders i don't think there's any surprises in this at least you know two out of the three for sure

40:10Speaker 1

so this is where we started they're long term builders have been very deep in the farcaster and clanker ecosystems so the first three in the builder grants and these are our largest grants that we're doing this year i mean this month and is qr fun by jake an $8,000 builder usdc builder grant in 2,000 usdc activation grant betterment by toadie hawk and netnos $8,000 builder grant 2,000 activation grant and trimerge or emerge by a town and the emerge team 5,000 builder grant 1,000 activation grant one of the things when we were talking with a town in particular is like they you know they've been struggling to get that funded we love emerge i think it's some one of the most fun mini apps i've seen on the timeline so we're hoping this can kick start them and get them back rolling again so we're excited to see emerge re emerge so that's the first three continuing on continuing on our next round of grants these are sustainability grants and activation grants we have minted merch cat cartel and savage $2,000 sustainability grant dollars $1,000 activation grant and we're hoping you know do some giveaways of some some free stuff like like this is what we're hoping with that better with brrrr brrrr and plants nft $2,000 sustainability grant $1,000 activation grant if you have not seen the better with brrrr mini app go check it out doing a lot of games poker different games all the time bringing in some sports into it just fun things on the timeline and we love to see it runner by darko runner was one of the first technically may have been the first community token that was put out there on clankr and there's debates on that but we're gonna say we're gonna claim it first meme out there but they've also developed a mini app that relates directly to running you can go to the runner channel to see more about that they're in the process of doing an upgrade to that and adding it to strava and doing a whole bunch of things so runner darko 2,000 sustainability grant 1,000 activation grant farverse by m f bevin this is like a bunch of different games he's created he's created like a whole little world with a whole bunch of different games and activations and fun things so we're doing a $2,000 sustainability grant dollars 500 activation grant for mf bevin rips and planks by nas1188 and team $2,000 sustainability grant dollars 1,000 activation grant which will likely get some new clanker tokens into their games moving on we've got a lot guys we've got like 30 i think it's ended up being 32 grants plus something special and 21 grantees i think is where we landed so like we've got a little ways to go these are sustainability grants category

43:22Speaker 2

we apologize you know we apologize

43:24Speaker 1

we gave away a lot of money checker by tomoo 2,000 sustainability grant empire builder by year berserker and divifly 2,000 sustainability grant purple rain by mvr 2,000 sustainability grant indexy by kallo 2,000 sustainability grant farecaster by runner the one with the three different runner it's very confusing 2,000 sustainability grant

43:51Speaker 2

is there no is there no relationship between runner

43:55Speaker 1

no they

43:55Speaker 0

are different people why is different

43:59Speaker 1

i know it's very confusing

44:03Speaker 1

47:58Speaker 2

will send out those

48:00Speaker 1

funds

48:03Speaker 1

all grantees are eligible for future grants and we know we missed a lot of people and we know we're getting haters this time we already have haters it was it was hilarious i was like we already have haters adrienne and we haven't even announced anything yet

48:15Speaker 2

can't please can't please everybody

48:16Speaker 1

like like we know we can't please everyone we know this but we hoped we casted a wide net to make sure we hit those people who have been you know grinding for a while as well as some newbies who have just done something that's captured a lot of attention we know we missed a bunch of people we already have a list of future grantees there's a good chance if you're thinking i didn't get one and you've done a lot of work and you have a you know a good project you're probably on that list it's not your worth guess it's nothing it's not your worth

48:55Speaker 2

yeah whether you got it but can we first can i can i just take a sec to first talk to people who did get the grants to yes 21 congratulations it just i i it was really just congratulations everyone who did get a grant it was somewhat easy easy decisions because these are all proven and right and and and i think everyone's very well deserving and i think you you see a lot of just like people living the values of build building without expectation or entitlement and kind of building to make forecaster and clanker better so that's very valued and yeah so first congrats and then yes and also to everyone who did not get one this time around we have a we have a even longer list of people we want to to hit so

49:46Speaker 1

yep

49:47Speaker 2

this is just first of many months

49:50Speaker 1

exactly so we're excited we what we'd spent a lot of time on this list we met with most of these builders and had calls with them to talk about talk to them about you know what they were doing what's their latest etcetera etcetera and we also the big thing we asked at every call as we were wrapping up is who would you like to see get a grant who do you think is deserving of a grant and that's how we built this list up so there were people that we kept hearing over and over again from builders that we had talked with so we're excited for all these grantees and we're excited to keep this rolling we didn't we didn't award the full amount that's sitting in the treasury yet because we are concerned and there were some concerns by some folks on the on the clinker team as well that we don't know how money how much you know right now things have been rolling in pretty well but we don't know that that's going to continue and usually in the summer months it gets quieter so to keep a little reserved so that we did have some for next month and be able to share that be able to award some good size grants next month as well so we hope it keeps building and we'll keep seeking to maximize those funds and get them out to deserving builders in the ecosystem alright and thanks melissa you're welcome thank you i agree we like the merch what can we say cat we need some we need some more merch we like the merch lots of good things in the chat thanks everyone a lot of congratulations
