Look at him. That’s my quant.

If you’re looking to grow on a sufficiently decentralised social network as a builder, here’s how you do it:

150+ applications for the Based Fellowship
In 1 year, among fellows
- 1 dude started his own startup
- A few became Devrels for major projects
- 1 dev with no prior onchain experience now works for a European startup
The success stories are endless.

Last year, @jessepollak told me this idea of taking builders viral.
Rationale was simple:
> Base wins if builders and founders building on base win
> Founders on base will win if they get users and build sustainable businesses
> Users will come if they get to feel the onchain economy being 10x better than current solutions
Approach, get outside of current echo chambers and start educating and onboarding.
What's the fastest way to educate and oboard? To go viral.
How to go viral?
> Create short form video content
> Show why onchain matters
> Build distribution loops
> Fund and accelerate growth of founders focused on solving for onchain distribution
Jesse, himself, started going on the streets onboarding day to day folks in fun ways.
Kept doing it despite the flak he got from 'elite' CT crowds.
And now, a whole wave of creators are out there onboarding people with short form video content.
This is the year we take builders viral. And it will take a village to do that.

Who you consider your peer shapes your growth trajectory
All of Farcaster’s recent hires make me insanely bullish on FC.
Founder DNA and FC native folks.

Farcaster continues to make everyone here money.
So many @callusfbi builders got a large VVV drop because:
1. They were onchain and got Degen tips here on Farcaster
2. They explored Venice and had been using it since late August
3. They had been launching tokens and playing around with Clanker and Virtuals

Have founders here explored Instagram and TikTok as distribution mechanisms? What have been some of your learnings?
With more clarity in regulation incoming, feel like more serious voices need to go where the masses are.
