I increased my exposure to @anontokenbase by about 20% over the past 24H, buying the ritalin-laced blood in the streets as anons chase the new virtuals meta. Maybe it’s cope, but this is why I like $ANON enough to keep contributing to the open source project for free and also buying what I think is probably a local bottom: - $ANON is a legitimate, interesting token on @base and base szn is really just getting started - it is a great crypto-native meme and is steeped in lore— token was prompted by an anon individual on superanon here on fc and launched by everyone’s favorite token bot @clanker (@proxystudio.eth) - in just one week, a decentralized team of ANON-lovers has shipped a fully functioning zk-anonymous social posting app, @anoncast by @slokh, which is the only example that I know of of a working consumer zk app. And people are actually using it, followers growing every day.

- Vitalik was intrigued enough to buy some $ANON last week so he could try out the app, and with shifting hype cycles the market cap has come down almost to where it was before he first bought. - The anonfun feature was just dropped 2 days ago and allows anon users to experiment with dropping fully anon tokens via clanker on anoncast. Really interesting new primitive to explore and some tokens like /aclank are already started getting some traction without any KOLs behind them, which is p cool. I’ve also heard that all fees from volume will go to [REDACTED] - there is no early round or team lockup or any early whales waiting to dump on me here, this is just a good old fashioned memecoin CTO that has had some utility baked into it by cracked open source contributors.

- a lot of people still don’t know about anoncast yet but I think they will soon. Slokh’s appearance on @laurashin pod today (link below) will get more eyeballs and I think when people hear him talk about what’s being built here, they will want to try it out (and to do that, they’ll have to buy some $ANON) - the app is not just bleeding edge and cypherpunk but ACTUALLY FUN. I’m spending tons of time on their daily, posting and reading and moderating. I was a very early user of Reddit and spent a lot of time on that site during its heyday, and anoncast is really giving me those early vibes. If you haven’t tried it yet I highly recommend taking it for a spin at anoncast dot org. It’s currently the only way I know of that you can post to both farcaster and X without having an account on either 👀 (cont 3/4)

- NFA, DYOR ofc but there is a lot of competition for attention right now so I just wanted to take the time to explain why I’ve been giving this project so much of my attention recently (and backing that up with my bags.) - I think the current selloff on $ANON and $CLANKER is mostly due to narrative-chasing, which is part of the game. And virtuals is cool and all but people will soon get bored of that meta too and when they’re done top-blasting a bunch of AI agent coins, imo they will come back looking for long term base projects with lots of upside that are shipping meaningful things. I’ll be here when the time comes, anon. Plus, maybe the anoncast team is dropping something today that will tap into the current meta too, who knows? 4/4 Will add a couple context links below 👇
