Friends trivia with FC space was so fun! Thanks for organizing @burr.eth and @plantsnft AND thank you to my very worthy competitors @bradq and @jacy for playing! But was there ever any doubt? Throwback to that time I went to the Friends Experience in NYC in 2021. Yup that’s apartment 20 Brad!

If anyone tries to rob you while you’re listening to @gmfarcaster just say no thank you. (btw very similar response from my mother when someone tried to rob her — I’ll save the full story for tomorrow @adrienne)

“What year did the MTV Video Music Awards celebrate on Sunday? It wasn’t exactly 2026.” Ok so it wasn’t just me who was confused. Weirdest VMAs — especially once I remembered that MTV no longer exists and that’s why this was on CBS. There were some good moments but overall weird, uncomfortable, and too much bad lipsyncing. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/arts/music/vmas-best-worst-moments.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ElE.rBit.x3BHdLE3fH4u&smid=nytcore-ios-share

@adrienne we look cute

cool experiment but when I went to set up xmoney it was crazy the info they wanted: dob, ssn, blood of first born child, just no. Not worth it Granted I know Elon already stole all our data with DOGE but I’m not putting it in yet another database for ya big dog — sorry @jack https://x.com/jackbutcher/status/2101796578428104762?s=46&t=N80rptBytKhSU-csz4Akrg

And more and more — I’ve seen so many posts since the first video. This one from an artist in residence until just this week. Awful. https://x.com/tanarchyxyz/status/2101121212810133519?s=46&t=N80rptBytKhSU-csz4Akrg

“Opportunity for another client” I’ve seen many, many, many clients come and go over the past 4 years and I’ve tried most of them. Nouns funded 3 at $100k each as part of a prop years ago and two of the builders returned the funds. It’s not that easy. The best FC clients I’ve seen are those with niche POV like @sopha, or @zapper by @seb which was the best version for traders that I’ve seen (and I personally told @jesse.base.eth at Base Camp a year ago that @baseapp.base.eth should look at it. They should’ve gone in that direction). But even Zapper didn’t survive. We’ve seen a lot of big swings. Most people just want one or two features added into the main client. (FC math: my trending feed = @kenny chrono follow feed) But they don’t want to build their own. But the hardest part isn’t building the client, and open sourcing the client side will make that even easier. It’s getting others to use it. And trying to get it in the App stores. Also you’re not going to make everyone happy. So the open source code is best for those who want to tinker or who want to make their own personal client for local use. And I’ve seen a couple already that look great for this purpose. Just don’t be disappointed if you’re amazing client doesn’t find users. (and @six I read this with the 😏 as I’m sure you intended lol)

If they can get the deal done, it’ll be a pretty cool story.

We’ve gotten a few questions regarding whether there would be an August round for the Clanker Ecosystem Fund and obviously due to the current uncertainty as to whom will be taking over Clanker, CEF is currently on pause. For information on previous rounds, please visit the website. We’ll update here when we have additional information. https://www.gmfarcaster.com/cef

An acquisition may be on the horizon but no matter the outcome, hope this energy remains that I’ve seen over the past few days. If you’ve just returned to Farcaster to see what was going on with Farcaster, stick around so Farcaster can see what’s going on with you!

While I’ve been in this rental house, my podcast set up has been pretty janky. And the office I’m in doesn’t have a door so I have to tell the fam to stay away while we’re live. And there’s no AC. btw the green screen drape is covering a lovely tapestry of the Mayflower. But the coup de grace is the scary dude on the wall staring at me during every show. I call him “The Victorian Degentleman.” 🎩 one. more. week.

A surprise for @yes2crypto.eth GM Farcaster’s number 1 @hypersub supporter: you now have the power to curate and suggest casts for the show! Just tag @warpee.eth with the word “curate” or the 👀 emoji to alert us to an interesting cast! Only available to @yes2crypto.eth for now. Coming soon to our other hypersub supporters—more info on tomorrow’s show!

If this does alarm you, you’ve been asleep for 5 years 🤣 even at its peak, there was a ceiling on attention. Guess where 98% of live stream viewers are for @gmfarcaster? Yes that would be Twitter lol (approx 500-1000, sometimes much more with certain guests). BUT if you want to 1) get your first users & feedback as a builder or 2) actually connect with humans, then @farcaster is still 100x better. Same as it’s always been. 💜✌️

Ok it’s over and ended as it should. Brinity 4eva!💕🏝️ I will now resume my normal life. Until next summer y’all! (and can you imagine watching this in Vegas lol)

lil trip to Boston today to see the Tall Ships and walk along the wharf. Also stopped at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market (see the unicycle riding bag piper in the next cast). Beautiful day on the harbor!

While on vacay this week, I launched a new podcast with 2 of my professor colleagues. This is not web3 related but some of you may find it interesting (and I may be reaching out to a few of you to be guests!) Our primary location for this one is Substack but it's also available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple. ABOUT: Make This Make Sense brings together three Entrepreneurship professors unpack the systems, trends, and social dynamics everyone is confused about — with the women who actually understand them. Guests include academics and entrepreneurs covering various industries diving into the latest research and sharing their experiences. Introducing your cohosts: Dr Colleen Robb: Since Colleen started teaching entrepreneurship and business in 2004, she's never looked back. She's been involved in startups in the athletic, cosmetic, manufacturing, nonprofit, retail, and technology sectors, but loves teaching more than anything. She's been blessed to work with thousands of entrepreneurs, be they students, veterans, or community members to grow their businesses beyond what they thought is possible. Check out her blog which is loaded with years of lessons on entrepreneurship and teaching. Annie Stout: For over a decade, Annie has developed entrepreneurship education at every level at Florida Gulf Coast University, starting from a single first-year course to establishing a Living-Learning Community and creating a faculty development program that integrates entrepreneurship across various disciplines, including Engineering, Math, Education, Health, Hospitality, Legal Studies, and Music. Kelly Werder: Entrepreneurship Instructor turned crypto podcaster, Kelly Werder created the first Blockchain course for Entrepreneurs in a university Entrepreneurship program, leading to a first of its kind minor/concentration in Blockchain at Florida Gulf Coast University. Kelly left her full-time position in 2024 to focus on her livestream/podcast @GMFarcaster with her cofounder/cohost Adrienne, still streaming live 2x per week. Kelly is the production arm of this crazy MTMS experiment. Learn more about the cohosts and how we got her in this Make This Make Sense trailer and look for new episodes dropping each Wednesday starting July 1, 2026.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

As we get ready for round 2 /cef announcements, we'd love to hear from our round 1 grantees on how their grants have impacted their projects. And if you received an activation grant, share how you've used that, add links to any related casts or share your plans that are in the works! We know some folks just received their funds (it took some time for the tax stuff) so no worries if you're still in the planning stages. tagging our grantees - more in the next reply: @jake @toadyhawk.eth @netnose @atown @katkartel.eth @svvvg3.eth @darkoh.eth @burr.eth @plantsnft (and umm @kenny a summary will do -- please don't share EVERY link -- oh we see you! lol)

Summer House reunion part 1 tonight — been waiting since March for this. This is my Super Bowl.

The first round of Clanker Ecosystem Fund grants will be announced on Thursday so we wanted to share some thoughts on how we as the stewards are thinking about this. Below see our guiding principles and information about the different categories of grants 🧵 Mission: The mission of the CEF is to distribute protocol fees to creators and communities who positively contribute to the Clanker and Farcaster ecosystem. Philosophy & Guiding Principles: 1) The Clanker Ecosystem Fund (CEF) exists to strengthen the Clanker and Farcaster ecosystem by supporting the people and projects that make it better. 2) Mission first. Be rigid about the mission and flexible about everything else. Processes and frameworks will evolve over time. The guiding question is simple: does this meaningfully improve Clanker and/or Farcaster? 3) Human judgment over strict systems. The CEF is opinionated and human-directed. While algorithmic or KPI-based approaches can be useful, early ecosystems are too nuanced for purely formulaic allocation which can be easily gamed. Many of the most valuable contributions (culture, community, creativity) are difficult to quantify. Broad eligibility, selective allocation. Anyone contributing meaningfully to the ecosystem may be considered, including builders, creators, and community leaders. Not all contributions will be funded. Allocation decisions are inherently subjective and based on impact, alignment, and quality. 4) Grants are a supplement, not a business model. CEF distributions are not intended to replace sustainable revenue. They are best used for recognition, bridging support, or covering costs for valuable work, not as long-term funding for teams. 5) Default toward self-sustainability. The strongest projects in the ecosystem generate their own revenue. Clanker and crypto-native primitives make this more achievable than on traditional platforms. As a rule of thumb: it is better to earn your own fees than receive grants - you keep 100%. 6) Reinforce the right behaviors. The fund should reward meaningful, original, and positive-sum contributions. We aim to support people building real value and avoid incentivizing short-term or extractive behavior.
