Last month, Rainbow approached Clanker about a potential acquisition. After some discussions, we decided that it wasn’t the right fit and let them know last Thursday. On Friday, Rainbow reached back out threatening to publish a public letter if we didn’t respond. After we told them (again) that we wouldn't be going forward with the deal, they published the letter today without our consent. We are not excited about working at Rainbow, especially after how we were treated, and don’t plan to continue the conversations. clank clank

Happy deployment day to @clanker, the hardest working tokenbot around! Even if clanker is just a prompt with webhooks & contracts, the ethos is very much alive and has impacted the lives of many of us here. I've grown as a person alongside clanker as a protocol. Each of the last 365 days presented itself with a new challenge. From the start, this journey has been full of surprises. As a first-time founder, I was in uncharted territories and honestly over my head in a lot of areas I had no experience in. I've learned so much about myself, building a company, navigating relationships on a personal & business level, and so much more. With each obstacle and challenge that was presented to me, I had to adapt to the circumstances and constantly keep focus on what I thought would be the best outcome and position clanker to point towards that direction. It has been an insanely stressful, yet successful year. Being able to see the excitement and thrill of so many talented creators use clanker to pursue their passions kept me going through it all. Thank you to everyone for the constant support, believing in me, and trusting me to make the decisions. To the Clanker Protection Team & core contributors, thank you for the constant support. Clanker would not have been what it is today without each and every one of you! Also, a massive thank you to my friends, family, and girlfriend for putting up with me as I was in the meta the past year. I'm very happy with what we've accomplished so far, where clanker is currently, and incredibly excited for the future of clanker. CLANK ON

Clanker was only possible because of Farcaster. Its wires are deeply rooted in the open social graph and flourishing ecosystem of developers, traders, creators, and community. We’re ecstatic to plant ourselves as a permanent pillar of the Farcaster network and continue to build out the best token deployment framework possible. To the Clanker community, thank you for your unwavering support! The best is yet to come. CLANK CLANK

I've decided to move on from working on Clanker - there's more I want to build. I'm grateful to the Clanker community for trusting an experiment that had no right to scale the way it did, to the creators who turned attention into funding and reminded me how motivating it is to help people succeed, to the Farcaster community for the feedback loop, and to everyone who deployed, traded, or just shitposted a token along the way. Building this taught me what it actually takes to make something people care about and operate systems at scale. Whatever comes next, I'm leaving with sharper instincts and a better sense of the kinds of problems and people I want to spend my time around.
