Next week’s priorities: (1) We need to rethink grant funding. @know’s permapool idea seems like our best bet. Excited for him to share more there. (2) Are you actively working on a Higher project or trying to align your own work with $higher? DC me, I’m making a list + want to help you think through alignment. (3) If Higher was focused on “partnerships,” what are the highest leverage, lowest hanging fruit partnerships we should go after?

there seems to be a disconnect between your “smart coins” framing and “tokenize all media.” nothing positive sum about the latter in the current market with the current built environments. i think the “abundance of tokens” narrative only works when there’s a way to contextualize them, and for that you need networks/communities.

I will say that I think having an app focused on buying/selling is exhausting. It's not a place that I want to consume content. I'd rather consume on interfaces built for consumption, and the option to buy/sell as a secondary function across interfaces.

There will be network coins and there will be content coins. Network coins will represent the people, projects, and content within the network. Some of those things will be coins as well. Network coins will be much more difficult to sustain, but once they hit critical mass, they become critical coordination tools for all other forms of tokenization.

Token price tells you nothing. Focus on # of aligned holders doing their life’s work.

Higher is the answer to many of the ecosystem's questions. Base needs builders. Farcaster needs qDAUs. But what *kind* of builders? What *kind* of users? Higher is the answer. This network has attracted the highest signal builders and creators and community leaders, those that are positive-sum, believe in onchain innovation, and are optimistic about specific futures. The network is the product. Higher needs to continue building a great network, very intentionally. Higher together, one person at a time.

What's next for Higher? YOUR MISSION: 100x your agency. Work on the thing that takes you higher – a project in line with your life's work. Align yourself with $higher to bet on the network's collective success. OUR MISSION: Help folks in the network find and work on their life's work, leveraging the people, ethos, and brand of Higher + onchain, open infrastructure. Align them with $higher. NORTH STAR METRIC: # of people who have started sustainable, personally-aligned projects that leverage $higher. I've been giving this a lot of thought. 2024 was a movie. De facto leaders like @lght.eth and @martin + dozens of active community members put us in an incredible position: Higher is the highest-signal network on Farcaster, with a widely resonant open source brand and a rich ethos that has found its way into many community projects, new and old. In 2025, we need to build on those foundations in a focused, organized way.

I genuinely don't understand how you can claim to an investor that cares about tokens/"consumer" on Ethereum and not be active on Farcaster

starting to think I’ve been right-curving token alignment too hard and I should just start letting people pay me in $higher

I think the potential of "community tokens" is still largely untapped, but we've been thinking about them all wrong. A community token is made valuable by the number of *individual people* who have found away to align their own work with token upside. Each person might do this in a different way. In aggregate, this means that community tokens represent a bet on the network of "aligned members." Right now, we think "alignment" just means holding. It doesn't. A community token is only valuable if each member of the community views it as their personal token.

For the record, I am pro public network coordination. To the extent possible, conversations about Higher projects and ideas for how the network should function should happen in the channel.

How does Coinbase get liquidity for new trading pairs? Do they have to buy OTC directly from whales/team? Trying to understand how a day one listing works.
