Founders

@noiceapp just nailed their launch:

- built a MVP and shipped fast
- worked DMs to get pre-launch users
- packaged as miniapp for distribution
- clanked $noice with 30% vesting
- used $qr to drive early attention
- dropped a hype 60s video explainer
- hit the farcaster and X airwaves hard

new playbook.

Base

btw Solana by far most painful chain to work on + most expensive:

1. Cost $150 to deploy the program
2. Gas fees cost me 20c each time a crush is posted
3. Dev environment full on nightmare
4. Verifying a contract requires Docker? and pulling GBs of images? and doesn't even work?

on @base:

1. deploy contracts for <$0.10
2. write state and send coins for <$0.01
3. best in class, fast, lightweight dev tools

if you're just joining farcaster from Solana, here to help however I can!

Project Coins.

Bc project coins have (1) usefulness and (2) committed builders, there can be a much healthier trading mindset vis a vis pure memecoins – where irrational commitment is only thing able to drive price, and where attention is so tenuous.

FC culture is built for project coins, and vice versa.

I want to help you launch your project coins on @base

coins

clanker project mode is underrated (team vests 30%)

it's good for the team behind projects to vest a significant percentage of the supply of their coins

would like to see way more innovation in this design space

We’re hiring a Grants Manager to help us increase the velocity of grants to builders and creators on Base.

morning thoughts on the farmer to builder journey

if directed well, you can turn farmers into actual users &amp; builders.

raising capital has always been a problem, but when they find purpose, a lot could change. 

ex: you insult farmers but praise them when they use azza on whatsapp.

can you see the full picture now?

@sheys_mst I agree with this!

I see folks who are "farming" as people trying to earn in the new global economy. this is an insipiring mission! but right now, too often, the easiest (short term) way to earn is to do low-utility "tasks" that don't push the space forward. but the intent is
