>most important missing primitive

i think the highest-leverage path is where memetic content, tokenized ownership, and distribution mechanics converge. you can't separate them. memetic content paired with a well-designed token becomes social capital. social capital then becomes distribution. distribution becomes user acquisition. and users—especially ones with skin in the game—become the most powerful force in token adoption

technically, i can’t offer much. but on the human side, i’ve thought about this quite a bit. the most powerful thing you can do for your token is to enable an autonomous, incentive-aligned, mimetic marketing & bd engine. i’ve written about this before. the more distributed your token, the higher your odds that a holder becomes a user. the more users you have, the faster the mimetic flywheel spins

look at thiel & girard. he understood mimetics well enough to take 10% of facebook. today, we have a similar opportunity: social data, incentives & mimetic mechanics can be aligned to build powerful, self-propagating systems. we’ve seen this in practice—degen, tipn, noice. someone receives a token, it appreciates, they feel ownership, they push it publicly, they tip it forward. that distribution loop continues until it's self-sustaining. the goal is simple: build an army that works for you while you sleep. is that not what wealthy people do? they don’t trade time for money—they build systems that accrue value 24/7

as for missing primitives? the lowest-hanging fruit is still tipping. some claim it’s dead. i couldn’t disagree more. tipping funded degen, which hit a $100m cap & now has total strategic flexibility to pivot. it seeded deployer with tnx100x. it helped push noice to $17m. it continues to drive thousands of micro-interactions every day. and people say it's "menial"? who says a tip can’t be the size of a grant? wake showed us otherwise. proxy showed us otherwise. these aren’t just gestures—they’re economic signals

tipping also gave rise to downstream builders like downshift, and it funded daos that supported projects like bracky & even clanker. i’ve argued before: tipping is the lifeblood of community formation & without community, there is no social layer. there is no network. tipping isn’t dead—it’s inevitable across crypto-enabled social 

on the other side of that coin are tools like kaito, bankr & checkr. they’re building the analytics layer for mimetics—the infrastructure to track contribution, volume & impact. while tipping largely activates the bottom half of your community (the long tail), these tools enable real-time visibility & upward mobility. someone writes a killer post, it drives volume, the data reflects it, they’re rewarded. now they're more visible. now they post again—this time even more bullish, to even more followers. that’s mimetic compounding

further, with rev-share tokens around the corner, neglecting your token is a death sentence. some will argue "your token isn’t your product." that might've been true for vc-funded multi billion-dollar protocols born a half decade ago like arb or uni. but today, it's nonsense, perpetuated & disproven by bad performing governance tokens. your product & token are deeply intertwined. traders & investors won’t engage with your product if the token is a ghost town, and you need both. it’s all connected. nobody’s partnering with clanker if the token is sitting at $230k. nobody’s tipping on noice if it's down-only. that’s just the reality

then there’s ecosystem alignment—especially in smaller, tighter networks like farcaster. if you’re not clanking & you don’t already have 20k+ followers elsewhere, good luck launching here. this ecosystem is intimate. everyone holds each other’s tokens. we’ve been here, building & dming, for 3 years. distribution here isn’t just luck—it’s earned. if the leaders don’t embrace you, your mimetic engine won’t catch. your token won’t spread. you won’t get partners or users. the feedback loops die

so that’s the qualitative stack every builder should consider:

– how do i align with the ecosystem i’m launching into?
– how do i get my token into as many hands as possible?
– how do i convert holders into users?
– how do i recruit those users into evangelists?
– how do i accelerate and expand the loop?

yes, maybe your token works better with other mechanics, with staking. or a rev-split. or a buyback program. fine. the implementation details vary. but the foundation is the same: social capital, incentive alignment, ecosystem integration & mimetic distribution. traders matter. attention matters. but bull-posting evangelists who carry your message every day across the network—that’s the holy grail

once you're there, it’s about building momentum & pivoting to/addressing the market’s needs. so you ride the wave until that moment comes, then you capitalize. that’s how you reach escape velocity, exuberance aside

Bankr Club is $20 per month, and as of now I can't use it to trade on Farcaster in wallet mode (which is the use case I want). 

If Rewards are $3 per week, would lose about $8 per month, which isn't bad. 

TLDR is you need to be Top 100

where is the prediction market for where soham parekh will end up lol 🤔

Farcaster

I’m quite pumped for this. DAU is v net +ve to micro incentives / earning your first $ onchain 

imo @ted we should have a “how to earn on farcaster” guide during onboarding / highlighted in first session — aligns really if FC takes earning money as the key value prop

> @qrcoindotfun 
> @dau 
> tl;dr on creator rewards by fc 
> @zora (idk what they don’t have a mini app but smth)

incentivizing 'rules of engagement' for how to be a DAU vs. just stating them could work. 

there are some outlier accounts who can come on here and make it rain ☔ , but for most people it's a struggle and small positive wins can stack up each day over time to build confidence

reply guys

Two huge things happened yesterday.

1. We won the poll
2. We hit the 100e cap

This means if @dau were to launch on farstore, the first 100e of buy orders would come from funders, not bots

That said, a launch via farstore isnt guaranteed, and thats OK. If nothing else, this was a powerful test of internet capital markets at work. 

Do I hope they lunch with us? Of course. But projects ultimately need to do whats in their best interest, not ours. We can only act as a proxy for the community on fc.

how long does @dau have to make a decision - since they were funded on @farstore on Saturday - where to launch $DAU?

it's about time for a definitive statement I would say

im just here for the metrics

~Ticker coming soon~

brypto

this is definitely an interesting take, and something we see on here

The Fork 🍴  Wall Street (West) vs. The Hustlers (East)

- one side is just trading tickers like $BTC as Wall Street does, has no idea what "web3" actually is

- another side knows this is their chance at something more at life, spinning up wallets and chasing airdrops, etc.

these are not the same "crypto" strands

You hired a crypto veteran.

Turns out he couldn’t define DeFi.

3 years in the industry, never touched a DEX.

That’s when I realized:

Crypto didn’t evolve. It split.

On one side:

Custody. Compliance. Capital.
Built for traders in Connecticut.

Crypto as the new Wall Street,

the overall energy seems to be shifting around crypto, I wonder if alt-season is really about to finally begin 🙏

& yes I am a $BNKR Club member officially, so I should have a score

@deployer @sinaver.eth

Bankr Score is working now 🙂

#421 got some work to do, but at least I am in the Top 500

just had a @betrmint strategy call with my cofounder @netnose and I don't think I could be any more bullish. 

topics included: upcoming integrations with @degentokenbase, @zora, [redacted], [also redacted], our upcoming NEONCHAIN Summer artist glow-up series, weird italian laws, @burrrrrberry 👀, new token utility via [ultra-redacted], and starting the spin-to-claim meta?    

BETR not fade.

$BETR 🤝 $DEGEN integration coming

lots of action in and around the 🎩

arbitrum

@noiceapp has added support for Arbitrum!

maybe there will be OpenAI and SpaceX tipping in the future 😎

$NOICE <> $ARB

$WTF the firkin is making some moves today 📈 

quite a vision, with a pretty strong distro strategy

gonna be very interesting when the first presale auction goes live (feels relatively imminent)

• building @bankr
• founder @payflow 
• made in /crimea 🇺🇦

I am loving all the non-dev Dev content on here ... high motivation to get back in the pseudo-coding zone, mini app or otherwise

hockey

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is Farcaster 🌶️

send McDavid to the Blues, that could be a one-shot Cup

Mini apps will eat the internet | Latest drop: /clankermon | Building : /miniapps /large /fctrivia jeeves /source @degentip @playsource /jump

tldw: July 15th 

High standards for this launch & need to carve out more time to line things up 

You'll notice some new paint in the app today, might lightly ship some things early between now and launch to get feedback but the big day is the 15th.

https://clankermon.com/frames/ch1?fid=4282

$clankermon launch delayed til the 15th - hopefully a few of my other Clankers pop off between now and then, that would be perfect 🍾🥂

we need to somehow incentivize casting alpha in the $Degen channel

I don’t know what other /channel it would go to … and this channel effectively becomes like Reddit in the future - ie. not bullposting, but discussion

🎩

maybe there is an idea here for a legit $degen pegged clanker idk

like swap fees go to alpha callers

Welcome to the /degen channel—a place for risk-takers and meme-makers. Ape into trades, flip NFTs, share your wins (and losses), and drop your best alpha. Flex your PnL, keep it fun, and respect the vibes. We’re all just degens chasing the next big move.
