It's kind of a long story.. It started with tn100x, the next 100x meme coin on base, distributed through the mint of the Based LP characters. Each NFT is backed by tn100x, burning the nft redeems 60% of the backing, 40% goes to the remaining NFTs. The /lp channel was the singular place for community members. The golden ham was introduced, stake tn100x in a golden ham nft for 90 days and earn yield. First intro of a ham. Added the based lp character to a mini game. Beat the boss to get a purple ham nft. Second introduction of a ham. Saw what Degen was doing with tipping. I thought that's fun let's do that with the Ham emoji. Everyone started tipping Ham. Ham became bigger than the lp so we should just call it Ham. But there were already tens of thousands of channel members and tn100x already had half a million dollars of bootstrapped liquidity. So here we are embracing the stupidity. The token with ticker HAM exists on Ham chain and is tippable in the feed. It's backed 1 to 1 with TN100x.

Thanks for sharing. Now I won’t forget the ticker again. Reminds me of THX 1138

It’s even better than @deployer is letting on. He’s pioneered so many cool things on this platform. Emoji tipping and the lore of ham is just one small part. We use the 🍖 which is the Ham emoji to Farcaster but it’s the “that meat/anu niku” emoji in Japan and really confused the Japanese casters. Some of the bilingual folks moved them to embrace the 🐹 as their community badge because Hamsters were easier to explain than Ham. With Deployer’s collection of LP NFTs and Cosplay versions and tipping emojis like unicorns, he also enabled the art community to lean in. I was able to have a version of the LP holding a tiny hamster hanging at the pool in a unicorn floaty and have it make sense to the community. This is the kind of fun and community building that happens on accident and organically but forms bonds. I’ll get behind anything Deployer does instantly because I know he always deploys, always listens, and always thinks of the community first. He’s a fantastic example of a builder here
