farcaster ecosystem r&d

there are 1,845.15 test Degen Dollars in existence right now

the are 'backed' by $1,831.21 USDC in the test_dd/USDC pool on @proxyswap dot tips and 41,418 WDEGEN ($356.28) on @mintclub

4 @farcaster users have minted test_dd using their degen tip allocations so far

collateral & liquidity for the first experimental, degenerately-stable asset on DL3 is healthy
my "founder gets obsessed with dune analytics" arc is just getting started btw
good morning, there is currently $217,000 of WETH & stablecoin liquidity across the 3 top pools on @proxyswap

a few months ago I bridged the first WETH to LP on our little app, feelsgoodman!

did some back of napkin math to estimate APR from trading fees at current volume - which is low, but growing.

1. USDC/WDEGEN 1% = 228.71%

2. USDC/WETH 1% = 128.57%

it pays to be an early @degentokenbase L3 stablecoin adopter

Notes: had a great call with the author yesterday (cc: @luc who has never let me down with an intro rec) and enjoyed reading their take on social, impact of the devices we use, and styles of communication. Published two months ago, it made me wonder what else I've missed from people outside my social graph, or just because I'm a busy fellow

drop anything you think I'd enjoy in the replies! or dm if you aren't a member

Notes: lots of channels have been left without active moderation now that posting/replying requires membership. this is the best "no token" implementation I've seen. Create a membership link, add it to your channel. Simple, lets people join without buying anything, and gives you time to get more fancy if you want to!

tags: simple, works-great, automated
notes: as I get into the weeds with apps and frames, and consider some programmatic dm stuff, I'm more and more impressed by how elegant microsub is in its simplicity and how...well functional the system is. it works - only issue I had with it was user error. Well worth the small fee in tips to use. check it out! now with support for $HAM
farcaster is the best place to build, 5 minutes after launching our beta I have two bug reports that I'd missed - building in the open is simply far better

this summer/fall we struggled somewhat as a project to get beta over the finish line. we have ben has about to launch for far too lon, in part just because of communication issues and also - a month-to-month dev contract that wasn't sustainable

utkarsh and I recently shifted towards longer term alignment between the labs team and the project, and moved dev chat to slack for better bug and project tracking.

goal is to accelerate our shipping speed across both apps, and iterate towards much, much better products

we also have a few fun expansion packs cooking, plan is to follow beta up with more frequent launches. its been a hard, and ultimately very fulfilling learning experience for me building this, we made it though and arrived in better shape than ever. Now people can notice stuff we need to fix!

grateful to everyone for support along the way

related projects: /cabin /bounties /farcon /hypersub /neynar /automod
notes: one trend - all the people building here are spreading $ around throughout the 'local' hypersub & bounties communities, natural downstream impact of earning, building, spending on Farcaster is getting embedded within tight networks, supporting one another. Putting up $5k (!) towards a conference is massive. shout out the legend grin

notes: excellent feature from rainbow that surfaces claimable rewards for imported wallets - reminds me of an old tool that used to exist for airdrops, I think Bankless acquired it? Not sure if it still exists. this + the ETH rewards makes me much more likely to use rainbow (typically I'm a Rabby man)

Notes: hard to put a dollar amount on just the contributions I personally have witnessed sam make to FC's economy. so many random telegram chats with teams or builders will include this man - so many projects will have his touch & expertise somewhere. comes as no surprise he's using our native tools to engage and pursue our sufficiently decentralized future

Tags: based, just-ship-it, growth
Notes: Farcaster's network of choice has contributed enormously to our economy (economies? both), and the reciprocal relationship between projects that launch here, and on base, has produced hits like Degen, Moxie, and Higher to name the most obvious.

Anecdotally, I've been at hackathons with 30+ devs shipping FC-aligned projects, supported from -1 to 0 and beyond by Base & the superchain (OP) grants. Want to get funded? Ship & share in /base-builds

Notes: great, not-a-token example of a farconomy contributor here: Samantha started producing and selling customized candles on Farcaster & has been paid, and has paid others from the proceeds! many benefits for the network when people like samantha can work on their dream here, and make money doing it - for example, samantha has hoped on calls with me a few times to provide excellent advice and wisdom about founder stuff, raising, not raising, being a person ya know the important things. thats money in the bank for the network even if it doesn't come with a deposit slip!
Category: ZoraApp
App: @artrun-io
Notes: Artrun is an interesting experiment to essentially build adoption for memecoins.

On artrun you and mint & launch your NFTs, which get converted into a ERC20z token after the initial 24 hr period. The NFT turns into a memecoin and functions like one (with a ticker and bonding curve) they call it Artcoins.

They use Zora on Base and all mints/memecoins are executed on Base itself. It solves for adoption, build demand and in general add more incentive for users to hold.

notes: LOVE this submission, it gets at the core of what makes the @farcaster economy powerful. Its not just teams, VC-backed projects, tokens - all those matter and...

a fully onchain user in a healthy, active network will contribute *naturally* in so many important, personal ways!
