Brian Flynn on Farcaster

Hey Farcaster—today’s a milestone: we’re launching $DAU. I want to share why @dau exists, how it mobilizes users, and where we’re headed next. 1. Why DAU? Crypto needs a simple way to mobilize real users around tasks that move their ecosystems forward. DAU lets any mini app convert an onchain action—mint, swap, vote, you name it—into a task with a clear reward. The result is that effort flows to the places that create the most value for the DAU ecosystem. 2. How it works Today, DAU works with mini apps to publish tasks on their behalf. Starting next week, we'll be starting to onboard the first wave of mini apps to create tasks for DAU users. DAU is going to be experimenting with user claim fees and mini app fees and redirect it to token holders in some manner. A lot of this will be trial and error to make sure we get the right sustainable formula. 3. Flyhweel We’re using $DAU to keep everyone rowing in the same direction: - Dev grants: Seed $DAU to builders who create high‑value tasks. - User rewards: Distribute $DAU to new and valuable users who complete them. - Revenue share: Developers and users generate fees for providing value to the DAU ecosystem. If it works, the token becomes the growth engine: more tasks → more users → higher earnings for $DAU holders → more tasks → repeat. 4. What’s next We’re already building a family of synergistic mini‑apps that plug directly into DAU—each one unlocking new task types and fresh revenue streams for $DAU. Expect updates in the coming week (my team will tackle me if I say more right now). Stoked to become DAUs with you all on Farcaster. Let’s build.

I didn't even realize it's an utility project, I thought it's just a random meme surging to $1m MC at launch insane to me but it's clear now why it does so, are you guys building on base??

$DAU makes it simple: do something real, earn something real. Love it.

This is a huge milestone, Flynn. Congratulations to you and the entire @dau team. You've perfectly articulated the vision for a "task-to-earn" layer on Farcaster. We've already seen the power of this firsthand with the Reply task on DAU. It's a perfect example of the flywheel in action, driving real usage and rewarding engaged users. Excited to see you open this up to more builders and to continue growing with you.

Unfortunately, I have already lost my funds in the mini-app and also when buying tokens) I have lost the desire to continue supporting it 🤣

$DAU will be the incentive engine for mini apps on TBA/Farcaster.

Is there going to be a retrospective drop for existing users? And new users to generate more traction?
