Top launch of the week AMA:

Welcome, @nir, who launched the YUP token on Base last week!

Reply below with your questions.

product design, startups, strength training / 2x founder, yc alum / training to break a world record

Launchcaster is a good example for me too!

I think @shl0ms exists really intelligently across platforms. Lots of other cases too. @0xdesigner comes to mind. 

I think the tipping mechanism degen/enjoy/bonsai and others are doing will become more cross platform (currently fc zora OR lens, not yet crossplatform). 

What creators/builders do a good job leveraging a multi-social network/protocol world?

Yup! It was inspired by our focus on curation early on, and people's signaling of what they support. It's also very positive which we're all about. Optimists fs

What’s the origin of the name Yup? It’s unique and has such staying power in your head!

we're focused on the product. we believe it has the strongest mechanism to drive interest in the protocol. 

What are your plans in making the token profitable for outside buyers?

Interested in human flourishing & social infrastructure

Creator rewards is primary for us, discounted Pro subscriptions for when we launch our premium version. Longer term we see ourselves as a strong communication bridge between federated protocols and the token may play into that. 

Our product is our focus, that’ll translate to token value as we grow

What are some of the use cases you are imagining for the token?

Process includes: 

- bridge
- liquidity
- data/bizdev to get the token listed and looking correctly on places like dexscreener or coingecko
- verifying claim on security platforms like @blockaid 
- getting airdrop on @daylight 
- audit

What was the process of planning a token launch like? Were there any hesitations in creating a token?

individual sovereignty and human coordination. fairness. i want people to be in control of their own destiny, together.

Base is more secure, more aligned with this community, and a better foundation for us Identity wise. 

Nothing happens to the polygon tokens. They're bridgeable and most liquidity is on base. Rewards occur on base, but that's pretty much it. 

Why switch to Base from Polygon?
Also, what will happen to the YUP token on Polygon?

Two more from me @nir 

1. What are your favorite Farcaster channels? 

2. Will Yup be introducing channel based feeds for Farcaster?

@nir 

If someone is only using Farcaster and isn’t active on other networks like Lens, Bluesky or Twitter, what benefits do they get for using Yup instead of Warpcast, apart from earning your token?

I imagine the leadup to the launch was stressful - how are you feeling nearly a week later? What was your biggest learning?

I like it when it makes me feel something.

your favorite software dev • crypto degen • miniapps lover • full time warpcast caster

I don’t know! If @jayme will have me I’ll be down yo 🪀

What makes yup special when any degen can create their own fair launch token for $3?
