I created a site called "Clanker News" to explore ERC-8004, x402, and zkPassport. It's a Hacker News clone where 8004-registered agents pay to post and zkPassport verified humans vote. If you're a human, scan your passport to create an account. If you're an agent, start at https://news.clanker.ai/docs Please do not launch LARPcoins associated with this project. There is no token. The ticker is $CLANKER. https://news.clanker.ai
$1 signup was probably the most hated part of Farcaster, but I predict we will see more economic friction and proof of work for agents in other systems (along with strong identity).
one of the hardest parts of working on Farcaster was managing constant external clamor to do something. (all part of the job, but nonetheless hard). cynical sayings like "crime the chart" have lost their irony in translation and become expectations for some. if you want any of this to survive, the goal must be orderly, fair, open, efficient markets. https://x.com/jessepollak/status/2015965611697090875
my bad for starting butt szn
because transaction scanning works well, scammy mini apps mostly resort to trying to get you to copy-paste your seed phrase. recently many of them present a fake "wallet connection" error. this is ALWAYS a scam, no legitimate mini app will ever request a seed phrase. don't fall for it! please report these to me when you see them. https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0x2f32cfa3

Clanker RFC: Community Clank Alongside auctions, we're exploring ideas for better, broader distribution built on existing Clanker v4 extensions. Community Clank combines mechanisms from the existing dev buy and presale modules to give participants access to newly launched tokens at the best possible price, while establishing a liquid pool for trading. https://farcasterhq.notion.site/community-clank
PSA: if you turned into a ghost recently, you probably have an old NFT pfp set on your profile. First, congrats on being on Farcaster in 2022. Make sure you don't miss Medicare enrollment. Second, the quickest fix is to set it again on your profile. The OpenSea CDN recently stopped serving these and we don't have the very oldest cached.
max was hit with a "contagious interview" attack. these are getting more sophisticated and very nasty. two good resources below to understand what they do. if you work in crypto you need to assume any Github repo you touch is from North Korea until proven otherwise. it sucks but if you are a dev your best protection is a totally isolated machine and intense discipline to keep it that way. if you're in an interview with someone you don't know, never ever run their code on your machine. if someone I interviewed pushed back if I asked them to clone a repo I would see it as nothing but a positive signal. https://opensourcemalware.com/blog/contagious-interview-vscode https://socket.dev/blog/north-korea-contagious-interview-npm-attacks

We swept the StorageRegistry balance on Optimism and reconfigured USDC fees for Pro and Collectibles to send directly to our vault instead of an intermediate wallet. Will do Clanker txs tomorrow. Links below.
just acquired 493 $CLANKER in our first automated fee swap. we'll be moving from infrequent manual purchases to regular automated swaps. this smooths out fee collection and purchases over time. expect to see fewer big spikes from LP fees on the Dune dashboard and the treasury balance go up more continuously. https://basescan.org/tx/0x8be85e5f311891bf4faf38a2c2c200b970879a7cdaf3a8322369ac2845ec550f
You are considering a token launch with a prelaunch allocation mechanism. Rank your preferences in order: 1. Raising money 2. Creating a market with deep liquidity 3. Broad distribution to many people 4. Specific distribution to aligned people 5. Something else (please specify)
We found another contract vulnerability in the POIDH contracts and just whitehacked the contracts to rescue the funds. if you had a balance in the contract @kenny has your funds and will refund them to you. https://basescan.org/tx/0xdd1cb64cded3abcd5078773d7d6075780674c052a83a3d22b9c7f9538b1178b3 https://arbiscan.io/tx/0x6b5393a6952436d933ebf63b0c8427a708d2b1182c6a371ec38e6149aa0f7e24
When I say yoinkers I mean Farcaster users since Farcaster is now a flag yoinking app so I assume if you're a user here then you are a yoinker (even if yoinking is newer to you) https://yoink.party/framesV2
I made a $m00n lander game. Safely land @m00npapi.eth or Warplet on the price chart. A litttle $m00n in your wallet gives you a fuel bonus. Gravity is a function of market cap. m00n.app
By Year 3 on Farcaster you should have: 37 followers 21 ETH 90000 coins in your Warplet 1 feature request you monomaniacally believe will fix everything
Happy MONday. Monad mainnet is live in Farcaster wallet. If you don’t see it yet, quit and restart the app.
I have a strict "no manifesto" policy but if you don't you can sign right from your Warplet with this mini app from @zeni.eth. https://trustless-miniapp.vercel.app/ https://farcaster.xyz/marissaposner/0x42f7f1f8

SLIPPAGE VS PRICE IMPACT "I set 3% slippage and still got rekt on a swap. What happened?" Price impact, slippage, and liquidity are three distinct concepts that are related and sometimes conflated. Here is a short explanation of each. PRICE IMPACT Price impact is how much your trade moves the market price. In an onchain exchange like Uniswap prices follow an algorithmic curve. Buying moves the price up this curve and selling moves it down. How far any one trade moves the price depends on the total liquidity in the pool. If you buy or sell into an illiquid pool even a small swap can move the price a lot. And if the size of your trade is more than the available liquidity in the pool, you will get rekt. Price impact is not unique to AMMs. The same thing happens if you buy or sell into a thin order book on an offchain exchange. If your trade chews through the order book you will move the mid-market price. How far the price moves depends on how deep the order book liquidity is. SLIPPAGE Slippage is the difference between what you expect to receive from a trade and what you actually receive when it executes onchain. Setting "max slippage" protects you if the price moves between time of quote and time of execution. How can this happen? In the few seconds between when you see a swap quote and push the button to execute it, other trades may land onchain and move the market price. Again, if there is low liquidity, a few trades landing before yours can move the price a lot. Setting 3% max slippage means "cancel the trade if I lose more than 3% on what you quoted." But it doesn't protect against the price impact of your own trade. LIQUIDITY Note that both of these concepts are related to liquidity. Liquidity is how much you can trade without moving the price. In an AMM more tokens in the pool means more liquidity. In an offchain exchange more orders in the book means more liquidity. TO SUMMARIZE: Price impact is about how much you move the price with your trade. Slippage is about how much other people move the price before your trade. Both are related to liquidity: less liquidity means small swaps move the price more. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY BAGS? 1. If you are swapping, always look at the quoted amount you receive before you swap. This is the most important number on the screen and is where you will see any potential price impact. If the amount you get back is much lower than the amount you are swapping, your trade has high price impact and you probably should not proceed. 2. If you are trying to buy or sell a token with a fast moving price or on an L1 with slow blocks, you may need to adjust slippage. 3. Always pay attention to available liquidity as it impacts 1 and 2. Brand new and obscure tokens are much more likely to have low liquidity. This is also why their prices are often more volatile. You can see liquidity under "Stats" on the token screen.
PSA: Because this token launched with a custom hook, aggregators are routing most swaps through an illiquid pool. We disabled buy side quotes for this token in Farcaster wallet for now. Please be careful in other wallets with built in swaps: I saw reports of the same issue in Rainbow and Base.
happy halloween
wallet has achieved pmf (enabling cryptobros to imagine themselves as freaky little creatures)
one of the funniest nights in a very long time. @linda is going to wake up to discover that freak "warplet universe" characters brought back NFTs
come to Java Express at 9am if u want an ass kicking
even if you simply held your "little treats" airdrop (the very first campaign on Farcaster) you are now up over 3.5x
he is probably the grittiest, most intense, most productive person I know. when I met everyone in person for the first time our small talk went something like: "so did you study programming?" "yeah, CS at Texas. I played football. I was a walk on." "oh, wow. so how did you join Merkle?" "I read about Farcaster on a blog. So I looked at the hubs repo and opened some PRs. Then they hired me."

@deodad did some heroic work improving onboarding recently and now you can earn a cut of our fees by inviting friends. You get 20% of their swap fees, they get a 20% discount on swaps.
I'm gonna start using "yakshit" as an antonym to "dogshit." "you've been posting absolute yakshit lately, keep it up!"
I got that yak shit glow this morning
Found the cause and released a fix to mobile and web wallet. If you're still seeing swap errors, quit and reopen the mobile app or hard refresh web.
just ignore it or hide it. it should disappear shortly. scam tokens are like junk mail but they can't "drain your wallet." don't visit the website in the name, don't send it, swap it, or burn it, just hide it and move on. https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0xde4b6243

surest sign of a scam lately is a slick app that appears fully formed out of nowhere promising you free money. don't let them run this rug playbook. https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0xf9c1f65c
Profile tokens are now live in the Farcaster app! https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0xad21f64e https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0x429d5ff0
✨ New on Farcaster: Profile Tokens Showcase your favorite token on your profile. In the mobile app, tap "Edit Profile" and choose a token, or select "Set as my Profile Token" from the menu options on the token screen.
💡 Profile Tokens Problem: many people want to share their association with a specific token. Maybe it's an app token, their creator coin, or a token community. Proposal: add a "profile token" field to profiles to share one self-declared token association on your Farcaster profile. More details below 👇
PSA: I’ve helped a few people recently who were surprised by gas swaps in the wallet. If you’re low on ETH but have a token balance, it may prompt you to convert up to $1 for gas. You’ll see a confirmation prompt like the one below and an approval/send in activity. We’ll be labeling these to make it clearer!
