Exactly one year ago today, @netnose and I kicked off a mini app experiment, to see if a little bit of speculative serendipity could create real distribution and opportunity for builders and creators on Base. That experiment was BETRMINT, and today is our BETR Birthday! It’s been a whirlwind of a year, to say the least. ⚡️ 203,000 spins on the neon flywheel ⚡️ 200+ rounds ⚡️ $300,000+ in total app revenue ⚡️ $80,000 paid to artists ⚡️ $25,000 paid to stakers ⚡️ $50,000 airdropped to loyal users (and more being dropped this week!) Somewhere along the way, this stopped being an experiment and became something of a movement. And in a space where a year is an eternity, where countless projects have come and gone, we’re still here. Still iterating. Still experimenting. Still tinkering with what it means to help creators earn for their creativity onchain. Year one had a lot of triumphs. We were honored to win the $25K top prize for Live Mini Apps during Base Onchain Summer, and to get selected for Base Batches (Startup Track), which took us all the way to Argentina in the fall. We’ve collaborated with just about every Farcaster-native project under the sun. Shout out @darkoh.eth and $RUNNER (perpetual first), @naz1188, @azflin, and many, many more. We are all BETR when we work together. 💪 Somehow through all of it, we’ve built what we genuinely believe is one of the strongest token communities onchain, powered by an army of $BETR believers and a stalwart Chief Fun Officer @burr.eth who always keeps things entertaining, no matter the market. BETRMINT isn’t just about spinning and winning. It’s about giving creators a new way to get discovered. It’s about shared upside. It’s about winning together. To everyone who has supported us since day one… Thank you, sincerely. That goes for all the faithful community members who have been spinning and staking daily, as well as our S-tier ecosystem partners at @base.base.eth (s/o @cryptso.eth, @zacprater.eth, @carlosjmelgar, @jessepollak) and Farcaster (s/o @linda, @dish, @rish.) We have big plans to make Year Two even bigger and BETR than the last, as we continue to expand our userbase outside of Farcaster and turn @betrmint into the number one onchain platform for dopamine-fueled distribution and discovery. Look out for our brand new Karma Quests portal being relaunched later this week, plus some exciting collabs with our friends at CoinHero and others. 👀 In the meantime, we have a special anniversary “BETR BDAY BASH” NFT available to collect today (by the lovely and talented @0xaprilia), and we have also JUICED UP today’s Jackpot and Mini Jackpot odds to celebrate. 🙌 So grab a slice of cake and pull up a chair to the neon flywheel — GLHF! Much love to all, we couldn’t imagine a BETR place to be building! https://betrmint.fun/mint-spin-win/base:0xc4194cCcA9B5Dfb3b6F064B03416C37bcBc3c436

Our collab round with @coinhero has been so popular, we’ve decided to extend it for one more day! We’ve already seen almost 1400 mints of the “Boosted Packs Are BETR” NFT (which will unlock a free guaranteed-profitable Boosted pack in @plinksapp tomorrow) making this our biggest round since the launch of @betrmint v3! We purchased $700 more $plinks on the open market to refill the juiced-up prize pool, and reset all streaks and spin bonuses, so get in there and spin the neon flywheel to win big prizes. btw, tomorrow we will have a special piece for a favorite community artist’s birthday, and Tuesday we will have a birthday piece of our own by another community fixture for our 1 year anniversary of BETRMINT. BETR not miss! GLHF! https://betrmint.fun/mint-spin-win/base:0xb4D66Cf42c15bAbf193db2e86904847058B78774

Less than 2 hours left to collect The Ring of Regen for $1 USDC on @betrmint, which gives you an instant automatic health buff in @dota-agents (and the chance to spin and win up to $100!) After that, you’ll have to try and scrape one off secondary like a plebe. Ball’s in your court anon. ⚔️ https://betrmint.fun/mint-spin-win/base:0x7448997D70D628ac8A057150A65D5f6Ac4689b97

our intrepid $BETR dev @netnose was in the lab this weekend and we just shipped a fresh batch of quality-of-life upgrades to @betrmint! 🩵 mint up to 10x at once (up from 5) we’ve actually seen requests for a 25x button but want to test gas limits with Chainlink at 10x first (so far everything’s smooth!) 🩷 Super Spinner + Ultra Spinner just got easier to hit, with thresholds lowered from 100 / 50 → 50 / 25 to make those badges and multipliers more attainable! 🩵 “Spin all Remaining” button is now unlocked after just ONE spin (prev needed two.) A small tweak, but big win for our highest volume spinners 🩷 we dropped a brand new dynamic embed preview that shows the featured art of the day when you share the spin link for that day, which we hope will help highlight the talent of our artists and creators even more. 🩵 all of the above is live in-app now, go check it out and let us know what you think! — a couple other pots on the fire: 🩷 BETR Karma is evolving: we’re building a brand new Karma Quests page that turns passive daily drops into active, claimable quests, including limited-time quests, partner quests and more. sneak peek of the new UX below, shipping v soon 👀 🩷 and finally… hosted creator minting is coming! we’re working on custom contracts so our features creators can mint directly on BETRMINT without needing to host them elsewhere. this has been on our mind for a while, but the bpdotfun sunset announcement has pushed it to the front of the roadmap. more soon here too. — we’re trying to make BETRMINT just a bit BETR every day, for creators, and for all the serendipitous spinners powering the infinite flywheel! https://betrmint.fun/mint-spin-win/base:0x9a46566F3DCa253c2a016aB900bb02be50dA2a31

I just received 150 token price change notifications from the past week all at once AMA

🏆 IT’S TIME FOR THE BETY’S! 🏆 here’s how it’s gonna go: We have 18 amazing “Best of BETR Awards” to give out across various categories. Some qualitative, some quantitative, all in good fun. Each winner will receive $100 worth of $BETR plus a +1000 BETR Karma bump, just in time for our airdrop claim tomorrow, and a special NFT. With the exception of: One top BETY prize winner, who will win $200 and a +2000 Karma bump instead. And one category winner who is getting a steakhouse gift card instead. 🥩 For each prize, I will cast out the category and describe the winner or winners, and then pause for a timeline wen-roll. 🥁 After 25 wens and 25 recasts are received, I will reveal the winner and move on to the next category. You all will decide if this show take two hours or 12 to get through! So fix your lipstick and straighten your tux. The pink carpet preshow is over and the BETY’s are about to begin…

The best collaborations check two boxes: 1️⃣ You genuinely respect the other team and want to see them win 2️⃣ The result is totally positive-sum This one nails both. @netnose and I are huge fans of what @svvvg3.eth and @katkartel.eth have been building with @mintedmerch, and our communities already overlap in a big way. So when they mentioned exploring staking rewards for $mintedmerch holders, we were happy to jump in and help. Over the past month, we’ve worked together and adapted our native $BETR staking terminal + Spin-to-Claim game to power daily rewards for $mintedmerch holders, starting now! ✨ Stake any amount to earn daily revenue-share rewards ☸️ Spin daily to claim rewards and win fun merch package jackpots 🔁 Restake instantly to keep the flywheels flywheeling To celebrate this launch, @mintedmerch just kicked off a NEON TICKET NFT quest, starting today in their app and concluding on tomorrow’s BETRMINT round. You’re going to want to complete this one. Full details are in the post below. Time to put those $mintedmerch tokens to work! What could be BETR than winning together? 💪

fun story from this devconnect argentina trip involving the legend @yonfrula (against his will) I was checking in to a hotel and the valet said “I love your shirt” about the yon original /replyguys tee I was rocking I said “thanks, it’s actually a custom design by an amazing argentinian artist” he then pulls out his phone and asks me to find his ig so he can follow a few days later, yon messages me this screenshot lol Is this onboarding? 🫴🦋

Today, I gave my Base Batches demo presentation in the @base.base.eth booth at @ethereum devconnect. And then after my spiel, we had a throng of 50-60 people crowding around and lining up to try spinning the IRL version of the @betrmint neon flywheel! It was an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to @statuette and @rmac from Base for taking my X shitpost about a physical wheel and making it into a reality. And ofc to @jesse.base.eth and the whole Base team for the opportunity to come here to Buenos Aires. This is why we do it.

one of my favorite little features of the @splits Teams platform is how you can search someone’s farcaster username to send tokens directly to their warplet. here I am sending @symbiotech his $400 $emerge top prize from our @betrmint x @tryemerge spooky workflow contest, pretty slick right?

gm, wait you guys are getting paid?

🤖🕷️NEON NIGHTMARES! 🎃🦇 @betrmint and @tryemerge are teaming up this Halloween for a bewitching workflow contest with big prizes! 🤖 use the emerge mini app to create a creative and spooky-themed workflow 🕷️ share your workflow on the timeline and get people to try it out (@atown and I will help by sharing high effort flows!) 🎃 On Sunday, we will choose our favorite workflow and feature one of its outputs in a special round of BETRMINT next week. The workflow creator will win $400 in $BETR and $EMERGE, and the featured output will win $100. 🦇We will be tipping $BETR and $EMERGE to quality workflows and outputs all week long! GLHF! https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/pmZbrBBIA6wT/emerge

Today’s Bonus round of @betrmint (coming up in one hour) will be held in honor of our intrepid Chief Fun Officer @burr.eth. ♥️♠️♦️♣️ @netnose and I wanted to do something to show how much we appreciate everything she has done and continues to do for this community, so we commissioned the talented @doodledaydarling to create a (literal) token of appreciation inspired by her. We hope she (and you) enjoy the resulting piece! Turn notis on to collect editions of “BETR WITH BURR” at 3PM EST, with the creator rewards split between the artist (doodle) and the muse (burr.) BETR together. 💪 https://bp.fun/collect/base:0x63558ba42995265338d9d9f1c7b03fe3adce504a/1

I just blindly copytraded a Chinese whale on here into a mandarin memecoin on BSC and made $1200 in 25 minutes. Incredible tech @slokh

CLANKERS DO IT BETR is a one month celebration of the clankerverse on @betrmint, and it all starts TOMORROW! Each week, we will work with @dish and the rest of the clanker team to choose one promising project from the clankerverse and blow up their spot… To kick it all off, we couldn’t think of a BETR place to start than with the sultans of swag @svvvg3.eth and @katkartel.eth from @mintedmerch. Using funds graciously granted by @clanker, we have purchased $1500 worth of $mintedmerch on the open market, which will be used to host a special round of BETRMINT featuring mm-related content on Friday. In the meantime, tomorrow we will host the team on a special @retake stream with @m00npapi.eth to hear their story. Join us at 11AM PST / 2PM EST at the link below. Clank clank! https://retake.tv/m00npapi.eth

Well, my day just went from good to BETR! Feeling speechless. Grateful. Seen. Huge thank you to the @base.base.eth team for recognizing our work on @betrmint with the $25,000 Top Prize in the Live Mini Apps category of the Onchain Summer Hackathon! 🤯 Over the past 6 months, we’ve been shipping nonstop; building one of the strongest token communities on Base, driving $180K+ in transaction volume across @farcaster & @baseapp.base.eth, and paying $60K+ to featured creators along the way. But it’s still day one. This win has given @netnose, @burr.eth and me the motivation we needed to double down and take @betrmint to the next level. Build on Base and you will be rewarded. (It’s not just a thing @jesse.base.eth likes to say.) 🟦🟦🟦🟦 https://x.com/base/status/1975593337307680824

I don’t know what the plan is for curating these top stories on the new search page and keeping them fresh, but in addition to any LLM strategy, I hope the farcaster team will also tap into the feeds of the people who are collating the important stories here every day, like: @kylepatrick.eth and his README @paragraph @bradq and his daily threads and of course @nounishprof and @adrienne’s GMfarcaster @drewcoffman.eth also does a nice weekly “this week on base” thread and article.

Just over six months ago, netnose and I came together with a plan to build an app that would use the unique viral potential of Farcaster mini apps to give creators real opportunities to get paid for their creativity. The result was @betrmint, and its native community clanker $BETR, and we had no idea the ride we were in for. Fast-forward to today, two seasons later, and the numbers really do speak for themselves: 🩵 77 rounds hosted. 🩷 64,000 spins 🩵 $180,000 in tx volume. 🩷 $60,000 paid directly to featured creators. 🩵 Over $130,000 worth of reward tokens distributed to players 🩷 Consistently 10,000 unique users per month and Top 10 Mini App Leaderboard for several months running. 🩵Over 65% of circulating $BETR staked and $3,000+ in staking rewards paid in month one alone. 🩷 A healthy $1M market cap for $BETR with one of the strongest token communities on Base. 🩵 App has been featured by farcaster, TBA, 11am, buildonbase, splits, ethereum foundation and many more. This season, we also collaborated with so many projects and communities we love: $DEGEN, @ripsapp, @tipn, @dau, @ponder… each bringing their own flavor into the neonverse. We became the earliest active community on @rocketman’s Cobuild App, with 470 people voluntarily setting $BETR as their token, fueling $800+ in buybacks. Our new Karma Quest feature kicked off strong with in-app @matchaxyz swaps driving $6,000 in volume in week one. Burr somehow ran hundreds of poker tournaments and kept the community in good spirits at all times (does she sleep?) We also hosted NEONCHAIN Summer, a full-blown onchain festival featuring 15 rounds, $15K in rewards paid to artists and 14,000+ mints of bespoke neon art from some of the most talented creators in the space. We believed the timeline would be much BETR with more art, and it was. Behind the curtain, we turned every dial and fiddled with every lever: finally extending round lengths from 10-12 minutes to 20–30 for more inclusive participation by adding more games, larger prize pools and additional mint friction to balance supply and demand. If you tried to play BETRMINT in the past and got frustrated because the rounds were over so fast, please give it another try. If you’re paying attention when the round goes live, it’s a LOT easier to get in now and try it out. — So that was Season 2 in a nutshell. And now… we are about to begin Season 3 and I’m very excited! Here just a few of the things we are thinking about, working on and planning for in the next few months: ⚡ Pumped-Up Karma: in season 3 you’ll earn double for minting, spinning, and winning, giving new folks a chance to climb the leaderboard ranks. 🤖 Clankers Do It BETR: a month-long collab starting next week and spotlighting clanker communities with market-bought prize pools + live streams, courtesy of @dish and the amazing Clanker team. ✍️ BETR x Drawcast: weekly neon drawing contests every Saturday with $BETR + $DRAW rewards, with a custom interface cooked by @tamastorok.eth 👀 A custom neon Spin-to-Claim staking implementation built for a partner mini app / token community coming this month. More soon. 🎨 New collabs with lots more mini apps, tokens, protocols and projects. 📱 A fresh UX update rolling out soon. 👀 📜 More exciting Karma Quests with new partners. 🏆 More ways to spin and more Staking Stackpots on the wheel. 🏰 @skycastle: I was excited to join this incubator as a founding partner and will be helping new builders find their footing and explore mini app token distribution strategies leveraging @noiceapp, $tipn, bankr, Rips + more. Our big hairy audacious goals for this season: 💪 Refine our systems and processes so that we can scale to 5 rounds a week (which will scale all our metrics up by 25%) 💰 Surpass $300K in volume and grow $BETR organically to a $10M MC by year end. 🩵 Surpass $100K in creator rewards paid. 📺 Expand reach to values-aligned X-native communities with targeted airdrops and collaborations. 🟦 Grow our presences on @baseapp.base.eth via Spindl’s beta in feed onchain ad platform (which we were recently accepted to.) — In conclusion: Six months in, BETRMINT has proven that when you combine a compelling mini app experience with thoughtful tokenomics, strong community, creator focus, and a little serendipitous speculation thrown in for good measure… there’s no telling how far we can go together. And after all, as we have been known to ask, what could be BETR than winning together? — Ok ok To that point… From the BETRMINT team, we want to thank you all so much for the constant support and enthusiasm. It’s the reason we do it and this community surprises us every day. You’ve all been minting, spinning, winning, questing, staking for months, and like the neon flywheel, what goes around comes back around! Our BETR Bomb Community Airdrop #2 is loading now, with over 1.75 Billion tokens worth $18,000 going out to our most loyal and active app users and community members. Minimum 69 Likes and 25 Recasts on this season 2 recap cast, and I’ll ask Netnose nicely to release the Spin-to-Claim wheel… the ball’s in your court, BETR Believers! Keep on spinning, toady out 🫡

Big week ahead in the BETRverse! Here’s what to look out for 👀 TODAY: 🟣 Round 1 of our @ponder BETR Battle ends, and round 2 begins. (Final round tomorrow!) 🟣 @ripsapp goes live with their new Community Packs, and @betrmint is one of the first ones available, including $BETR and 9 other coins from projects who have supported us since day one! 🟢 We introduce a brand new way to earn BETR Karma? 👀 FRIDAY: 🟣 @0xen’s NEONCHAIN Summer piece drops at 3PM EST!

We’ll be doing some live reflection tomorrow on The Based Builders Show as @jackwyldes.eth and I host @audiocrypt from from the Black Mirror project on @base.base.eth. Streaming live from @buildonbase on X at 11AM EST, RSVP on LUMA below! https://luma.com/r0x9lshg

✨ Neon Spark Notes ✨ (as requested by @raven50mm) ✨ @betrmint is a mini app from me and @netnose that turns collecting onchain content and supporting onchain creators into a fun, gamified experience for everyone involved ✨it is one of the most popular apps on farcaster and TBA, consistently top 15 on leaderboard (currently #2) with over $160K in cumulative transaction volume and more than $40K paid out in creator rewards in 4.5 months ✨on “spin days” (currently Monday, Wednesday and Friday) users wait for a notification and jump into the app to cop the featured collectible and earn free tickets to spin the neon flywheel, where they can win variable token rewards from a $1500 prize pool (sometimes $BETR, sometimes tokens from partner projects looking for distribution) ✨$BETR is the native token of the app, launched on @clanker with 50% of the supply vaulted and earmarked for community airdrops and initiatives. ✨ Holding 50M $BETR gives you access to perks in the app, early access to rounds and the BETR Believers alpha chat ✨We rolled out native $BETR staking 2 weeks ago and stakers can earn 20% apy in daily rewards with no lock up. Rewards come directly from app revenue (because it’s BETR to win together.) You can Spin-to-Claim and compound your rewards once per day for a chance to win a Staking Stackpot prize as well. People seem to like all this, because 31B tokens have been staked already representing 55% of circulating supply 💪 ✨We hired @burr.eth a couple months back as our CFO (Chief Fun Officer) and she does an awesome job running community initiatives like regular freeroll poker games, art contests and more. ✨ Our favorite thing about building on @base.base.eth and Farcaster is the composability of the tech + the collaborative nature of the builders here, so we love jamming with other projects and communities to cross-pollinate and grow the pie. ✨Our North Star is to help find novel ways for creators tonget paid for their creativity while building the strongest values-aligned token community on Base. Still day one!

gm! I just recalibrated my @noiceapp to send $1 and $2 $noice tips all day long today and tomorrow for quality entries to our NEON ART IS NOICE art contest, and I know @netnose and @burrrrrberry are doing the same. Tag us with your entries below so we don’t miss them, and LFG (let’s fking glow!)

excited to announce that next week, szn 2 of @tipn kicks off, and the token that will be flying all over the timeline this time will be $BETR! we have been working with @niftytime.eth and @kompreni for a few weeks on this and have allocated a 1B token grant to the tipn treasury so that their trusted allocators can help distribute more $BETR and grow our communities in tandem. 💪 additionally, anyone who is a member of the BETR Believers (holders of 50M+ $BETR) at the time of the upcoming snapshot will be automatically added to the list of allocatooors and given an allowance of $BETR to tip out when this goes live next week. 🫡 Today Is Probably Notable.

1 Million Dollars.

NEON ART IS NOICE 🟪🎨 We’re teaming up with @noiceapp and the /yellow collective to keep the NEONCHAIN Summer vibes glowing with a week-long celebration of art and over $1,000 in $noice and $betr tips + prizes up for grabs! 🚨 Calling all Creatives: 🟣 Create a piece of neon aesthetic art in any style or medium, inspired by @betrmint and @noiceapp 🟣 Post it in /betr with the caption: “NEON ART is NOICE!” 🟣 @burrrrrberry, @netnose and I will be tipping $500+ worth of $noice and $betr to standout entries all week 🟣 Deadline: Thursday at 12PM EST, when we’ll select the top 3 entries. ⸻ 🏆 Top Prize: Featured in Friday’s official NEONCHAIN Summer BETRMINT round → Includes ETH Creator Rewards + a 50M $BETR grant & 1 Yellow Collective Noun NFT 🏅 2 Runners-Up: $50 in $noice + $50 in $betr each + 1 Yellow Collective Noun NFT LFG, we can’t wait to see all your noice & neon art! @noicebot distribute 350K $BETR to everyone who likes and recasts this cast. Budget 55M $BETR

Tomorrow is the first day of NEONCHAIN Summer on @betrmint, and also the beginning of a fun new collaboration with @degentokenbase! We received a generous grant of 1M $DEGEN from @jacek to support Farcaster-native artists during this 10 week celebration, and in return we’ve given the Neon Flywheel a proper Top Hat makeover. 🎩 To spin tomorrow and collect the very first NEONCHAIN Summer drop by @empresstrash, you’ll need at least about 800 $DEGEN (instead of the usual 0.0008 ETH) in your wallet. But that’s not all! Rather than plugging in a simple swap-and-spin integration, which would put unnecessary sell pressure on the $DEGEN token during our NEONCHAIN rounds, @netnose and I have instead designed and implemented a novel custom set of contracts, in which we collect your $DEGEN before the spin and pay the ETH mint cost for you, while reserving the collected $DEGEN to be used in a future BETRMINT prize pool. This way, the tokens will always be distributed evenly to our community rather than market sold. It’s a little bit complicated, but it’s also a lot bit dope and I’m excited to see it in action! To prepare for tomorrow, make sure you have enough $DEGEN in your spinning wallet, plus a little bit of ETH for gas, and remember… keep on spinning and the hat stays on. ☸️🎩

bonus @betrmint round! Jump in for a rare and special Thursday Spin Day to collect “jessexbt promo” on @zora by @bvdaniel, and win up to 100x back in $BETR and their trending project token, $a0x! GLHF 🫡 https://betrmint.fun/mint-spin-win/jessexbt-promo-a0x

"the @betrmint neon flywheel rewards players for supporting onchain creators" last week, I had an amazing video chat with @sonyasupposedly about what @netnose and I are building with $BETR and BETRMINT, and today she dropped this article based on that talk and her ensuing research, both on the official @splits blog and onchain on @paragraph. when I say that this is one of the most thorough and well-written articles I've EVER seen in this space, it's not just biased flattery. Sonya has an incredible ability to cut through the noise and amplify the signal, explaining culture, tokenomics, and game mechanics all in a way that anyone could understand on first pass. i feel very grateful that she took the time to research and write this piece about our mini app and community, and I will definitely be pointing people to it for months to come as the best place to get started on learning about our little neon universe. oh and btw, this Article Coin (Paragraph turns all content into coins now also) will be featured in our upcoming BETRMINT round in 2.5H, so be sure to come through and collect to support, spin & win! https://paragraph.com/@weekinfarcaster/betrmint-flywheel-onchain-creators

It’s time to bring art back to the timeline. This week on @betrmint we’re launching NEONCHAIN Summer, a 10‑week celebration of Farcaster‑native artists.
