turned 31 the other day and spent a moment to reflect on the source of my happiest moments in the last year. and there are two:

building and travelling

time to lock in, simplify, double down
been busy building clank.fun V2. this version is the synthesis of all the feedback I've received from hundreds of users. feels much more mature and ready to scale.

soft launched it and people already love it - even though we haven't even publicly announced it yet. currently working on a banger launch clip with @senyil to attract more Solana traders to @base

this one’s gonna sting some people:

the more emotional you are right now, the more likely you are to be overexposed in crypto. the latter is bad because it brings on the former, which destroys your ability to make good decisions, and you should want to be able to make good decisions (in crypto and outside!)

if this is you, try holding more stables - you’ll sleep better at night and maybe this will help you in the next leg

@bountybot $200 USDC bounty to create a an open source Vercel OG image similar to that of DexScreener below:

- open source NextJS project in repo that builds and runs locally
- "/" endpoint dynamically generates on go image with "vercel/og"
- image below is copied and implemented 👇
- icon, header image, name, ticker, mcap, volume, liquidity are extracted as variables that are passed into image generation
- image is cached for 1h (updates with fresh data every hour - you can fake this but it must be configured correctly)

first to reply with a running open source repo that implements this wins the bounty

super interesting distribution from @stackdotso. I learned that I had a creator coin because I started receiving rewards in my wallet - discovered via @rainbow. I never had to sign up or sign any transactions, it just happened.

I'm currently #141 :) trade my coin here: https://www.stack.so/profile/0x6E1B330095496e6cabC703853357ca03202E9758

The main reason that Stack had so much volume this week was that a lot of people came over from Solana, after Clout didn't work so well in practice. All of the analytics point to this.

Our approach was very pro-social, because 1% of all volume is given automatically to the underlying account, as well as 30% of the tokens dripped over a year, without the underlying account needing to do anything. We did $8m on Base in one day without any technical issues, and we sent hundreds of thousands of dollars in value to Ethereum addresses this way.

But something that I have to say, because it feels a bit alienating, is that a lot of people in the ETH community kinda had a go at dunking on us. People logged on, saw $80 in their portfolio, and said "meh, this is confusing" – even though no app in history has probably ever done that before for a new user.

Kinda sad that after 8 years of building on Ethereum, it's harder than ever to feel motivated to build for its community members.

Introducing Token Links

Try it now: $degen, $tn100x, $higher, $moxie, $anon

- Mention a token with a leading $, it turns into a link
- Tap link to see top tokens by market cap and recent casts
- Links to Dexscreener and copy contract address
- Working in casts and profiles
- Already on the protocol; just enriching text in casts

Future ideas
- Smarter algo for casts (expect a bit of spam this week)
- Additional info and metrics for traders
- Farcaster social graph signals
- Customization for token creators
- Tie-in with frames and onchain transactions

Known issues
- If token links aren't linkifying, update your app and restart 1-2x
- Casts are slow to load; making that faster
- Token links don't work in DCs or the composer yet
- Sorting by market cap may result in non-FC native assets ahead of FC-native ones, e.g. $anon

Reminder: you can mute all token links by adding $ to your mute words on Warpcast

What is /clankpad and why did I build it?

Clankpad is an interface for Clanker that pays channel owners each time someone launches a coin

In a normal Clanker launch the fees break down like this:
- 60% Clanker
- 40% Creator

In a Clankpad launch its:
- 40% Creator
- 40% Clanker
- 10% Channel owner
- 10% Clankpad

Maybe not traditional “influencer”, but plenty of economic value has been created for people who have taken Farcaster seriously over the last few years.

Beyond the onchain opportunities, plenty of people got jobs and raised funding as a result.

ymmv
felt this in a real way recently. launched clank.fun on Farcaster and only later, reluctantly, on X

X now drives 95% of traffic, FC < 2%. I haven’t posted on X in over a year before this. Now I spend most of my time there (just based on ROI)

don’t mistake this for a FC bearpost

Have seen a few casts recently on how we should attract more developers to Farcaster

In talking to developers building on Farcaster today—and developers who built on Farcaster previously and then stopped—the top request is more users.

Why more users?
- More users on Farcaster means more people to potentially use their product
- If the product is a business, more usage means more opportunity to make money
- Acquiring users for an app or service is *really* hard
just learned what KOL means
just picked up some $NATIVE and minted my passport. Super smooth UX on the onboarding site. Impressive work @derek!
hot take, maybe should have anonposted.. but:

seems that a lot of normie "dyor" boils down to:
- reading a complicated whitepaper/roadmap
- seeing that it's conceptually complex, failing to understand it fully
- using that as signal to invest: "sounds impressive, must ape"

projects are hacking this signal by:
- creating more conceptually complex whitepapers
- comically detailed/rigid roadmaps
- coining heavy terminology to mean ultimately simple things
- shallow integrations with buzzword tech - e.g. "AI agent"

it's ironic because the engineered complexity kills any chance for that "utility" to be adopted or actually used. and yet it's "bullish"
have been busy building to post much here, but need to change this. farcaster has been a sort of petri dish/primordial soup for me as a founder. so easy to be early to new tech/trends here since builders get amplified disproportionally. been back on X to grow clank.fun there (95%+ of traffic comes from X). but been missing the pristine vibes of the purple app

there's a lot of spammy BD on crypto telegrams. although it can get overwhelming, I try to reply with a soft no to everyone, instead of ignoring them. Takes very little effort with a text expansion but provides some courtesy and a bit of useful feedback

New credentials system is now live on @anoncast! You can generate anonymous credentials for any balance amount of ANON. The credentials attached to posts are public and visible on anoncast.org.

Once stable, we'll expand to support generating credentials for any token.

clank.fun week 1:

goal: "best trading UX on @base" 🎯

shipped the app, trading, live feed 🚢
380 trades from 130 traders, $52k volume 📈
$480 in revenue growing sharply 💳
$CLANKFUN launched, now @ $2.25m 🪙
token raised equivalent of pre-seed round 💰
505 followers on X, 237 on Telegram, organic 🍻
working with a designer + 2 people on community 🔧
support from @proxystudio.eth, @dish, @jessepollak

no better place to build than here

excited for week 2 📅
growing a 900-strong, constantly active Telegram community for clank.fun made getting feedback and improving the product way easier 🚢

here's all the stuff I shipped in the last week off the back of user feedback

(yep, I'm using excalidraw as a delivery board 👌)
Excited to be growing a small but mighty team on clank.fun!

@senyil joining as designer. we worked together on some awesome projects, like the @base x @atariclub drop and /higher loyalty rewards. we've decided long ago that we wanted to build something together, and clank.fun is the perfect opportunity to cook 👨‍🍳

@poserdigital team joining to manage and grow the community. I've known @aldousposer and @dinoposer for years - they've invested in my last startup and I even built them a Discord analytics product. These guys are community veterans, and I can't think of anyone I'd trust more to help grow ours 🍃

this means one thing for me: back to building 🔧
exciting things cooking with @proxystudio.eth and @dish
coming soon to your phones, browsers and wallets 🫡
right now we have ~2k DAU and ~60 daily traders on clank.fun

that's 3% of users who place trades on the site
a lot of that is probably churn, so I'm going to add new analytics events to track "viewed a trading pair" to zero in on the right part of the funnel to optimise against
