Nominating @serendipity for #farcasterrpgfspring2025 for the thoughtful, high-leverage community infrastructure she built through FCNY!

Over the past year and a half, Karo independently organized 50+ Farcaster events across NYC - from collaborative art nights, to builder co-working sessions, to large-scale social gatherings that regularly hit capacity - all without any funding or team :)

FCNY became a cultural and social backbone to the New York ecosystem, where people found collaborators, launched projects together, and made lifelong friends. IRL community-building in crypto is *really* hard, and Karo set a new standard by being super inclusive and thoughtful.

I’ve seen firsthand how many people credit her + FCNY events with helping them feel like they belonged in this community (I myself have made lifelong friends and collaborators through them!). That kind of value is hard to quantify, but IMO is exactly what retro funding is for :)

50 in-person Farcaster events? There must have been over a dozen different places to slap :)  Yeah that gets my nomination for #farcasterrpgfspring2025
