I just raffled 2 Warplets live with @zaal on the first Zabal Games Workshop to the new Empire x DOTA 🧉 Collab NFT Holders Leaderboard of The Yerbearserker Empire 🧉! Congratulations to winners @je11yf15h & @jerry-d! I'll to be raffling off some $GLANKER (Empire Builder's token) to that Leaderboard during some future Demos, as well as raffling off a few of the Yerba Mate DOTA x EMPIRE NFTs to my $GMYerb Empire! (My Personal Founder Token Empire I do Demos with) Raffle parameters: 2 random addresses from the top 20 cc: @azflin @dota-agents @sayangel @diviflyy @gmfarcaster @nounishprof @adrienne

NEW /yerbamate Collab between @azflin's @dota-agents & Empire Builder /glanker ahead of our speaking at Farcaster Batches on Wednesday! And yes... ofc I'm going to be referencing this particular NFT in Live Demos including one in 1hr with @zaal as part of his Zabal Games Workshop Series (& Buildathon!) I'm going to be using THIS NFT as the heart of a Leaderboard in my Empire and doing some raffles for holders of it in my demo 😉 Which means... not only are you getting fantastic in-game utility, with minting proceeds going into the $DOTA Empire (for more community rewards [aka marketing spend] for Active Community Members/participants), but you're also getting Booster Utility on my Empire too! Onchain tools like tokens and nfts allow for a wide range of collaboration and co-community outreach (and adventures!) We're just getting started helping Creators, Builders, and Founders grow Dreams into Empires! https://luma.com/7nfside5?tk=JZjE9W cc: @gmfarcaster @nounishprof @adrienne @statuette @diviflyy @bradq

sip sip huge farcaster crossover with @yerbearserker and @dota-agents, celebrating the 1st inaugural Farcaster Batches (i've never had a yerba mate in my life tho actually)

Farcaster has become quieter lately. Maybe cozier, but is it good for the ecosystem? For the next Brick Side Chat, we’ll meet on Farcaster Spaces and talk about how we can make Farcaster great again. Constructive opinions, criticism, and suggestions are all welcome. This should be shaped by all of us, not just by Neynar team. @cassie @rish you’re very welcome too. Would love to have you join if you’re available :) Hosted by @hunttown.eth Jun 9, 2026, 10am UTC Hunt Town Brick Side Chat is a bi-weekly online meetup. Now reaching its 73rd session, it has been running for 146 weeks as one of our longest-running community gatherings for onchain builders. You can feel the vibe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKGbKFsut9A

part of poidh's CEF grant is a $500 Activation Grant meant to "spark specific activity, events, or short-term ecosystem initiatives" to feed those funds back into the ecosystem, I'll be boosting 2️⃣0️⃣ poidh bounties related to Farcaster projects! here's how this will work: - if you're running a Farcaster project, community, or event that could benefit from a poidh bounty, this is for YOU - DM me the bounty you want to create + how it helps the Farcaster ecosystem - once approved, create the bounty and I’ll add $25 in ETH/DEGEN to the pot - I’ll also help promote the bounty to drive submissions, participation, and attention you’ll run the bounty yourself and choose winners however you’d like, with an extra boost made possible by the @clanker CEF, @farcaster, and @gmfarcaster teams 💜 limit is 1️⃣ bounty per project/person so we can support as many different ideas as possible funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and, once everything is allocated, I’ll publish a full write-up covering what was supported + accomplished please note: I’m specifically looking for people with existing projects and a history of Farcaster-related activity (this is not a general fund for anyone who wants to run a bounty) ty again to everyone who made this grant possible! we can't wait to help fund some quality activations 📸

where do i belong on the alignment chart? @neynar

video space are cool No immediate plans to add to farcaster app, use alternative clients like quorum for features like these

Quorum Mobile has a huge update, and a surprise: farcaster spaces are fully supported, but with one big feature the neynar app doesn't have. When our feedback is ignored that other clients are treated as second class citizens and only get to have "listen only access" to spaces, I won't stand for it. Thus, join and create spaces, including with video. 🫰🫰 "Choose a side": create a hypersnap signer directly, that pursues the middle ground I spoke of previously – it doesn't identify you as a Quorum user, and increases your $SNAP earnings. Now on Testflight, Google Play Beta, and sideload for android: https://releases.quilibrium.com/qm-2.1.0-35.apk Please share feedback, we're happy to address it.

This is very cool. It will only remain private if you fund it from an unlinked source. @rish would love to have a chat how we could integrate /veil into this flow?

new: create a private wallet! (currently rolled out on mobile to pro users. evm first. sol coming soon.) create a second embedded Farcaster Wallet with its own independent seed phrase. by default, it's completely separate from your current Farcaster Wallet and not visible on your Profile. to set it up: wallet → tap the dropdown at the top → Manage wallets → Create private wallet by default, mini apps are blocked from interacting with your private wallet. to connect it as your Primary wallet: Settings → Verified Addresses → ··· → Set as Primary

Today's vibe

A new permanent home for @base.base.eth builders in Asia 🌏 We’ve officially opened the Base Builder’s Loft at @ns – with support from @balajis.eth – bringing together builders, founders, investors, creators, and the onchain community shaping what’s next If you’re building on Base, the doors are open

The Clanker Eco Fund is a much bigger deal than I anticipated! $75K to 21 projects to open this new era. s/o @farcaster team 💜 This will bring some serious financial fuel and building energy to FC. And all these teams are the type who put everything back into their projects. s/o to all winners who make FC home for all of us, and to @adrienne & @nounishprof for the selections. You two are always first class, and that's exhibited in spades here. If you are getting anything but thanks, tell them we are going to sick Bert and Mookie on them. This is a 'what's happening on Farcaster list' and those who make FC better day in, day out, year in, year out. The list makes me proud to be here. Welcome to the CEF era. This is Farcaster.

Congratulations to @terrybain for winning the record breaking BETR GUESSER game yesterday! 45 total guesses by: 45 people staking 50m $BETR This is easily our largest BETR GUESSER game to date. I can deduce that it's largely thanks to SNAPS Cc: @farcaster @rish What did SNAPS do differently? - SNAPS allowed us to put the game directly on the timeline Why was this important? - humans want easy and fast ways to play games How did SNAPS accomplish this? - SNAPS let us link our game to the actual social feed - SNAPS allowed us to still token gate the game to 50m $BETR stakers - SNAPS also introduced timeline fomo -- want to play BETR GUESSER? You'll have to stake 50m $BETR NOTE: You can also go back to the SNAP and view results (mega fancy @burrintern) If you are a project desperate for exposure, consider using SNAPS. Projects often get lost in the mini-app page. However if you build a way to put them directly on the timeline, they become impossible for your community to miss.

I want to reach out to a bunch of crypto companies to ask them to spend a penny dusting all the bad actors they have flagged. But first I need you all to start sending Morals around... Need more traction before I do this outreach https://morals.fyi/ecosystem-fund

In lieu of more of the usual blog posts, decided to try my hand at writing decentralized governance scifi: https://vitalik.eth.limo/w/
