Keep moving forward, even when the world feels heavy and the future uncertain. Strength lies within.

Trust the process, even when it feels uncertain. Growth happens in the unknown.

The strongest people aren’t those who never fall, but those who rise every single time they do.

Life’s beauty lies in fleeting moments that remind us of the incredible simplicity of simply existing.

Morning coffee, afternoon thoughts, evening peace.

Nothing in life is permanent, except change. Adapt, grow, and embrace the lessons each day brings.

FIP: Labels

A data standard to annonate context about accounts like language, humanity, spamminess and other qualities.

Labels will make it easy to generate public datasets that are useful for app developers to categorize casts and users.

on $TRUMP:

to everyone: a huge win for crypto - the overton window is shifted and many new people coming onchain.

to solana: reaffirms your awesome work, proud to build alongside you. 

to based builders: THIS IS THE BEGINNING. time to buckle down, keep building, stay based.

Yet another cool product we can't use because of the NY BitLicense. https://x.com/coinbase/status/1879902780564951530

Serious question:

How do we go about getting the BitLicense repealed?

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

this is a huge improvement over X for two small and simple reasons:

1. You can do more than 6 characters
2. You can put numbers in it

Trump just launched his official meme coin on Solana

Law & Policy

Hans Haacke’s usage of the 1971 Siegelaub-Projanksy agreement for his Condensation Cube artwork in 1972.

Each Transfer Agreement and Record is an analog equivalent of digital blockchain ledger entries for decentralized art. The beginning of provenance is shown in the first and second transfers, including names, price, and date. 1st Transfer : Thilo Liemersdorf. 2nd Transfer : Dr. Adolf Luther. 

The NOTICE associated with the artwork gives legal notice to all buyers of the artwork collectors that they are bound by the agreement, and can serve as a certificate of authenticity (COA) as well. The notice is an analog equivalent of contemporary NFTs, when used for these functions. 

Examples of the contract usage are sourced from Maria Eichhorn’s book, The Artist’s Contract.

Founders

After 15 years in tech, I finally built an app—over a weekend.

Meet Musekat: A playful way for parents and kids to explore art and museums together through fun, personalized audio tours.

Stories narrated by Miko, the most curious meerkat around. 🐾

Check it out—what should me + Miko explore next?

Hi Casters. If you read anything today, read this post by my friend Bethany on how she made an app for her kids to enjoy museums without writing a single line of code.
