Inspired by Rainbow Zorbs (NFT = App Icon), we wanted to create a product NFT that pays homage to early users and has crystal clear benefits we can build on.

- claim & edit profile
- verified launch badge
- see stats (views, clicks, ctr)
- soon: see wallet upvotes, launch directly, allowlists, maybe discounts & more

Thanks to @pugson for the idea to get @bias's help on art 🤝

And thanks to @vm @steph @ravi for early feedback! https://i.imgur.com/gMEEhfm.jpg

@bias took the concept to the hyperion moon and invented a new word ✨

“I used the innershape of the Farcaster arch for the badge shape, as you have to go through the “Farch” to see the fruits of Launchcaster 😄” https://i.imgur.com/0M3Ndyi.png

Polled Farcaster on Flat vs. Gradient … 

“Gradient logos are here, friends. The trend is back.” - @punk

We wanted the mint page to feel more like an App Store page than the typical mint.

So we included the classic app title, subtitle, benefits, and app store-like screenshots with cameos from Farcasters. https://i.imgur.com/oBlT42S.jpg

Letting the wrong people in was a concern. 

We polled FC on builder communities, added an allowlist tool and Fardropd (ty @greg).

Launch Pass is available to Farcasters today.

Soon communities mentioned here https://searchcaster.xyz/search?merkleRoot=0xcf6286ea1011a795a9349001f9a776c27eec38cce1e341ad51f6fd3f7c246768

Lastly, thanks to @pfista. We we’re getting ready to roll it out last week and he caught a bug related to V2 migration.

So he got to mint it firs 😎 https://i.imgur.com/wbjbi0P.jpg

We started with a few different art directions and settled on “NASA Mission Patch” theme.
