The main website is degen.tips. There, you'll find a comprehensive FAQ, your current giveaway allocation and soon, a leaderboard.

Degen

In the before-fore of /degen, there was nothing. Then there were shitcoins and all was well. $points, $wowow, $farts, proud shitcoins all that eventually fizzled and failed. Some weeks later, @jacek committed himself to making something very different.

But a shitcoin needs more than a ticker and holders. It needs culture, soul, community, and vibes for it to grow. And so a group of Farcaster OG's - terrifying, ancient powers - created the Degentlemen: noble degens. Reckless, but not scammy. Greedy, not selfish. Patient and ruthless.

We had a name. We had our coin. We had our realm.

And now we have our 🎩 .

Farcaster's money was born: $degen

Since then, we've silo'd off into hundreds of warpchats, channels, and other groups to develop, expand, and proliferate $degen.

We have a chance to make a money that is more fairly distributed, fun to play with, and part of the farcaster bootstrap. Welcome to that experiment.

Welcome to the House of Degen 🎩

Enter, $degen airdrop 1: engaging /degen members were rewarded and the first owners of $degen. The magnificent intersection of early crypto social, the forthcoming bull market, and an innovative culture coin was enough. $degen succeeded where all other native 'caster coins failed.

It survived. And flourished.
