In retail one of the most powerful tools for enticing sales is a small gift with purchase Not quite a reward for your existing repeat customers. Not quite a free sample. A separate third thing It does the job of creating fomo out of thin air for people to line up early and buy. It also has clear criteria for recency. No customer from 6 months ago is expecting to receive one in the mail. Penalizing past sales of airdrops is like telling someone who lined up at your store before opening and made a purchase in store.. they don’t get the free gift because they saw you flip a different store’s free gift on eBay Not only will they not shop with you again.. but they will actively tell other people about the negative experience too

A lot has happened this week and there are a few things you cannot afford to miss: 1. Farcaster Pro Subscriptions are coming Tuesday. $120 for 1 year. Payable with USDC on Base. An NFT will come with them…eventually. It’s the same art for the first 10,000 subscribers. I do not think we will hit 10,000. We would have fought for 1,000 but the team heard that feedback and expanded it. On day 1, the only thing you get is a badge. It will be purple. Eventually you will get expanded casts length and 4 photos instead of 2, but there is no ETA. The proceeds will go to fund the weekly rewards leaderboard and the developer rewards for mini apps. It’s 100% optional. It will not help your engagement. It will not help your reach. It won’t help your spam label. It won’t help you get verified. It’s to show support for Farcaster and that’s it. Monthly will come later. You can speculate on the value of 10,000 copies of the same NFT art. Think about it and be sure you understand it.

** Welcoming Solona ** (my /firstdraft ) I appreciated @ted 's reports & onboarding from Accelerate, especially the takeaway that there is a significant difference between Solona's portrayal on Twitter & real life. My first NFT was on Solona, but I don't know much about it other than the stereotypes I hear in the space. Similarly, we know there is a stereotype of FC on Twitter that is significantly different from reality. So, as we welcome Solona people & projects, we have a lot in common. Solona wallet support this week & new people being onboarded are signs of more to come. I'm looking forward to hearing about Solona projects that are doing meaningful things that break that stereotype. I came across @mikehale, who does a Solona builders newsletter & plans to be more active here. @gramajo.eth , a long-time FCer, shared some projects to check out. I've started following the new onboards & look forward to AMA's with Solona folks @linda mentioned, including co-founder @toly on Tuesday. Welcome!

One month into the new job At first, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. But quickly things started to come into sight, if not into focus. Each day is a venture into the jungle. Sometimes it’s a safari, learning from a safe but exciting distance with a guide. Other days require a machete to hack my way through new territory. It’s exhausting even when I’m not doing much. Immersion keeps the brain alert all day. I’m mainly just trying to stay afloat right now, but energy management strategies will be key. So much of this is new: my title and responsibilities, the size and stage of the company, the lifestyle change from freelancing to full-time work. I wanted novelty and a challenge. And I’m getting what I asked for.

Having kids really amplifies this feeling that you won’t see people in your life as much as you’d like. Really makes you hyper aware of time.. and how little of it you have I moved to NY nearly 8 years ago for a job and.. just never left. After having Zoe, it really woke me up to how much of my time slipped away. What was I doing for the first 30 years of it? Intentionality with my time has reduced the anxiety some. Spend more time your parents.. they’re not getting younger. Spend more time improving your diet and body.. you only get one. Spend less time dilly dallying.. every second is precious so treat it as such

Are we casting better- or are we just better at the engagement games? 2025 brought the Warpcast Rewards Leaderboard to the ecosystem and it’s definitely changed the way people engage. DAU haven’t really changed. The numbers in January 2025 and May 2025 are pretty much the same, but there’s a drastic difference and how many orphaned casts are on the network. Orphaned casts are casts that get zero engagement: no likes, no replies, no recast. In January about 80% of cast on the network fit into this bucket, but today that number has changed dramatically and only 60% of the cast on the network are now orphaned. Has the leaderboard caused this behavioral shift? Have people learned to cast better and caught onto the Farcaster culture more quickly?
