One more set of winners for today. Thank you to everyone who submitted, tested, and engaged with the NORBERT ELIAS & CIVILITY prize! Prizes are headed to each winner’s Farcaster wallet. 1st place, $1,024: @papa farcaster.xyz/papa/0x780d71e5 The strongest argument of the bunch. It starts from Elias and backs the case with a real statistic on trust. Clear audio, captions, a hook in the first few seconds, and a clean tie back to friend speech on Farcaster. 2nd place, $512: @zatweirdaj farcaster.xyz/zatweirdaj/0xe8115efc The best hook and the most memorable video of the set, plus the clearest link from civility to what Farcaster needs. Honorable mention, $128: @tophb farcaster.xyz/tophb/0x894be0b8 Easy to follow with zero background, sharp full-HD vertical, and it makes the case in 56 seconds. Honorable mention, $128: @leoxcrane farcaster.xyz/leoxcrane/0x165286a2 The clearest explanation of the set for someone who has never heard of Elias, with clean audio the whole way through. Thank you to everyone who entered! Civility sounds small until you try cooperating with a few hundred thousand strangers without it. Farcaster is for friend speech, not foe speech.

Thank you to everyone who submitted, tested, and engaged with the $2048 FOR FARCASTER CLIENTS prize! Huge shoutout to @chancetaken, @vrn.eth, and the NS community members who helped test and judge submissions. Prizes have been sent out to each winner’s Farcaster wallet. 1st place, $2,048: @0xabhii for Castyard farcaster.0xabhii.xyz One command, npx castyard client, and you have your own Farcaster client running on your laptop. It reads from a Snapchain read node, hands itself a gasless app key from a test account, and confirms every cast by reading it back from the node. The README explains FIDs, custody addresses, app keys, Snapchain messages, read nodes vs validators, and storage in a few plain lines each. You can also show or hide casts based on which app made them. 2nd place, $512: @ramitphi for Phunk docs.phunk.social A Python client and library that talks straight to a node’s HTTP API. Install it with pip, run phunk feed, and you get the last day of casts from everyone you follow, with a label for the app that signed each one. Hide any app you like. Gasless app keys for posting, plus a mini app. Honorable mention, $128: @cashlessman.eth for Kite kite.sahban.dev/guide A full web client with a step-by-step guide, plus tester casts collected on its endorsements page. Honorable mention, $128: @aap for runfcx antonpecherkin.github.io/runfcx A different take on three commands: one prompt to Claude Code or Codex provisions the server, starts the node, and builds the client. Four people ran it and vouched for it. Extra thanks to everyone who sent PRs to the farcasterxyz repos, the next builder gets an easier road because of you. Keep making clients. More of them means more ways to be here!
