“I’ve lost everything in a hack”
Unless you are truly unbanked and have no access to literally any other resources, this shouldn’t ever happen.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your savings across different assets, and consider risk when deciding how much to place in each basket. Never put everything in one asset class, institution, or wallet. And if there’s a chance of total loss - even if small-, you should probably only have what you’re comfortable losing.

Empire Builder is now fully multichain! 🌐
You can now deploy Empire (Clanker) tokens (or go Tokenless!) and treasury vaults on:
🟢 Robinhood
🟣 Monad
🟡 BNB Chain
⚪ Ethereum Mainnet
Alongside our existing options:
🔵 Base
🔷 Arbitrum
Empire Staking, Boosters, and Airdrops are also fully multichain, with Boosters and Airdrops additionally available on Polygon and Optimism.
All made possible by @clanker and @splits, who built the multichain foundations powering this expansion.
For Creators, Builders, & Founders, this means multichain, no-code infrastructure to coordinate their projects’ onchain creations, while identifying and rewarding the active core communities helping those projects grow their Dreams into Empires!
🏛️
PS if you're working with an LLM on your building you can find our AI Skills info at the top of our EmpireBuilder.world website 😉 🫡

crypto world is exhausted rn
it’s all just gambling prediction markets meme coins and fake ai products
when I doom scroll, I’m looking for links to something someone wrote, or a github, or a product demo
it’s not even noisy out there. it’s just - empty. 
If you think Farcaster is more quiet lately, you are right. But it’s also very lively if you know where to look!
Challenge for the week:
Spend some time browsing these channels: /diet and /japanese-pub
You can now read them in your native langue easily and respond if you’d like to find some new interesting Farcasters to follow and make your timeline more lively.
I think you will learn something new and find some new faces who post often and will add to your enjoyment of Farcaster!
Don’t just take my word for it. Browse today and you may be surprised ;)
reading this
the problem was not self-custody as some people is pretending (it was a huge error of the company)
the problem is not ai as some people is pretending (any hacker could find this)
and there are ways to get a subset of people who could be the hacker (ip tracking and stuff like that, ask bill gates)
Going to be posting weird shit on X as a new artist persona, Daemons. Renamed the Harmonybot account. Follow if you already don't.
Will always post alpha here first ofc

Over the past two years, Hyperliquid has proved out something important:
When a protocol generates real revenue, using a portion of that revenue to reduce total supply can be a powerful way to align the community longterm, even more impactful and memetically meaningful than proportional revenue share.
Inspired by their tokenomic success, today we’re introducing… the BETR Burn Program. 🔥
Effective immediately, staking yield on @betrmint will be capped at 2% APR, rather than fluctuating with app revenue.
Since day one, every $BETR token distributed through our staking portal has been purchased by us on the open market as part of our in-app flywheel. In fact, we have distributed almost 6% of the total supply to our most loyal stakers since launch. There have never been token emissions or inflationary rewards, and that part isn’t changing.
What is changing is where many of those purchased tokens will go…
STRAIGHT INTO THE BONFIRE. 🔥
Instead of distributing every reward token to stakers, we’ll continue paying our loyal stakers 2% APR on their deposits, while using the excess to consistently buy and permanently burn $BETR. Staking tiers will continue to unlock the same in-app and community perks they do now.
Overall, we believe this will create an even stronger flywheel for the BETR ecosystem.
🔥 Sustainable staking rewards
🔥 Continued open-market buying driven by app revenue
🔥 A steadily shrinking supply
🔥 Greater value accrual for every long-term holder
And to kick things off, we just bought and burned 1% of the total BETR supply!!!
🔥🔥🔥
This isn’t a one-time event, but rather the first step in a long-term commitment to making the BETR token increasingly scarce, while maintaining the same buy-side demand generated by the protocol, and all the while helping artists and creators find meaningful distribution onchain through the BETRMINT app.
Let’s keep winning together. 💪
betrliquid.
Today's BETRMINT feature is BETR DOOR by the talented @mfa.
Collect editions for $1 to support their art and spin the neon flywheel to win up to 100x back in prizes.
Winning together is BETR, so GLHF!
🚨 NEW 🚨
The trickster comes home: Azeban the raccoon launches an immersive digital world for kids, cartoons, games, and for adults, a limited NFT collection
An Abenaki legend springs to life online
https://azeban.vercel.app/
after getting a CEF grant, i thought it might be useful to reintroduce @quidli connect 🦑
connect.quid.li is an API you can also hit straight from the CLI: one call lets your users send crypto to their contacts by social handle (farcaster, x, github, telegram, discord, whatever), no wallet address required. reputation scoring is built in to let you validate & filter counterparties based on your own criteria that can be socially verified.
it's agent-native so you can plug its features & your social graphs straight into your agents & models via mcp.connect.quid.li - describe your requirements in plain language and it'll autonomously resolve recipients & execute txs on your behalf
In August I'll be launching a new app every week
But this wouldn't be possible if I was having to rebuild login, payments, emails, mobile app shells and more, every single time
I need to be able to one shot my prototypes using a coding agent, quickly, and get the boring stuff done fast so I can focus on the actual app: the unique parts, polish, and marketing
So solving this problem is the first app I'm shipping :)
It's called One Shot
It's a bit rough around the edges heading into this weekend so I'm hoping to crowdsource getting help breaking it -- so if you read this far, it's $1 through Sunday 11:59PM UTC...next week it'll be $49 as I continue to add more features (e.g. crypto)
If you're working w/ AI, wanting to ship prototypes fast and tired of rebuilding the boring stuff, grab it, come along for the ride and lmkwyt!

New Quotient Signal
Ueda said September is live. One board member already dissented for 1.25%. The outlook report flagged inflation exceeding 2%, the strongest language yet.
Polymarket: 40% | Quotient: 65%
95% of economists say October or December. The BOJ prefers gradual normalization. But when a governor tells you the next meeting is live, 40 cents isn't pricing that correctly.

clanker started with a very good abstraction: have an idea, tag a bot, deploy a token. making the hard thing feel simple was the product.
the simplicity worked so well that people started confusing the interface with the infrastructure underneath it. the bot is still here. the simple launch is still here. but clanker is also the contracts, the sdk, the interfaces other people build, the markets a token enters, the fees it routes, and the decisions a project makes after the first block.
"token launcher" is accurate but incomplete.
I created a Farcaster group so I could see who here on @farcaster has created somETHing on the 11x11 -- join the group here:

We put together our thoughts about our channel and community.
This will be a slightly longer thread than usual, but we hope you'll read it when you have a little time.
We'd like to begin with a video that reflects more than two years of dedication from our community, followed by the voices of the people who have built it together.
Farcaster has become a very special place for us.
We're sorry this took a little longer than expected. These questions deserved more than a short answer, so we took the time to reflect on our experiences as a community.
We hope our feedback can be of some help, even in a small way.
Farcasterは、私たちにとってとても特別な存在です。
いつもより少し長めのスレッドになりますが、お時間のあるときに読んでいただけたら嬉しいです。
私たちのフィードバックが、少しでも皆さんのお役に立てれば幸いです。
It's hard to believe it's already been 11 years.
On July 30 2015 we launched Ethereum from a small scrappy office in Berlin's Kreuzberg.
So much has changed since then. Ethereum has undergone so many transformations yet one thing stays the same.
Ethereum is the world computer.
