Degen

If you’re building a mini app for Farcaster, $DEGEN should be the default token. It’s widely held, fun to use, and drives way more engagement than USDC or WETH.

We dropped $100M+ in $DEGEN airdrops last year to Farcaster users. Happy to support you and help amplify, there's no downside to trying it.

Why are mini apps defaulting to USDC or WETH when $DEGEN is our native token? Top token on Base, brought most of us here. Should be the default. Devs like @dish @colin @tldr — what’s stopping us?

I totally agree that $DEGEN should be the default token for devs building mini apps on Farcaster, you already mentioned its benefits, so no need to reiterate. However, I think you should talk with those who've built and those who're building and try to see where their head is at. They may have concerns and until you're made aware of them, you can do nothing to help them

Fingers crossed. All I know is, those who don't realize what a gem $DEGEN is would do so when it's very late

Yeah, I’ll be reaching out to devs one by one to figure out why $DEGEN isn’t being used more as the default. I want to understand what’s holding them back and how we can use the treasury and our influence to support them. Will see what comes out of those convos.
