@toadyhawk.eth treats crypto like a live laboratory, and BETRMINT (launched on clanker exactly one year ago today!) is his favorite experiment yet.
toady always builds culture and community before he builds product. he seeds the lore, runs the experiment, and figures out the economics after the room is already warm. before BETRMINT he was running an onchain media collective and piloting early community experiments on base. he doesn't hire a team, he attracts collaborators. @netnose, a developer from Italy, builds the thing that runs. @burr.eth, former poker pro and BETR Labs CFO (Chief Fun Officer) makes sure it actually always feels like a party.
together they built a neon arcade where people get paid. $1 USDC to spin, prizes up to $100, and a new onchain creator featured every day. every spin programmatically buys $BETR and supports creators, loyal players and stakers, with rewards from real app revenue not inflation, and 40% of circulating supply is currently staked.
over $80k paid to creators in year one, plus another $20k to stakers. they’ve collaborated with almost every quality project in the Farcaster/Clanker ecosystem and have remained one of the most consistently trending mini apps on Farcaster since launch.
this is what onchain experimentation looks like when it actually works. and it's only getting started. that's the kind of builder clanker was made for
