Some of the takes Iâve seen about @skycastle so far have been missing the forest for the trees imo; either overanalyzing, mid-curving, or both.*
To me, Skycastle isnât trying to be just another VC accelerator⌠itâs trying to be something that this space has been missing greatly for a very long time:
A Network-Native, White Glove Launchpad With Built-In Distribution.
Farcaster (and Base more broadly) has never had a shortage of clever builders with interesting ideas for apps, projects, and protocols. Weâve got that covered.
Whatâs far more rare however are founders who can pair great ideas and technical chops with compelling branding, effective marketing, strategic distribution, authentic community-building, professional infra⌠all the things that actually matter for long-term success.
Thatâs the real reason most projects stall. A good idea, even well-executed, just isnât enough anymore.
Which is why I got v excited when @itsbasil and @garrett asked me to join Skycastle as a founding partner and builder advisor. I want to see Farcaster win. I want to see Base win. And I want to help builders see the magic that can happen when a clever concept and clean code (plus the easy-breezy token launching made possible by @dish and co) meets a network that actually deeply understands distribution.
If I were launching @betrmint tomorrow, Iâd be applying to Skycastle today. Sure, @netnose has the technical chops (and then some) and I can cover a lot of the other bases. But with the caliber of minds in this advisor cohort, it would be foolish of me not to leverage their advice, tooling, distribution, and guidance.
Why wouldnât I want direct distribution support from @clanker, @noiceapp, and @clicker? UX help from @limone.eth? Infra guidance from @splits, Neynar, and Privy?
I would.
At the end of the day, if you flip over the âtokenize everythingâ coin, the other side might read: âcurate winners.â
Thatâs what makes me bullish on what $SKY can accomplish⌠finding hungry, talented builders and giving them the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.
Clanker has made it grade-school-level easy to launch tokens. Theyâve launched us into the clouds. Now itâs time to build a castle.
