Farcaster

Farcaster is rolling out a new feature,now you’ll be able to buy and mint someone’s cast as an NFT through an auction.

Sure, the idea isn’t groundbreaking, we’ve seen stuff like this before. But I’ve gotta say, the execution looks like it’ll be one of the best I’ve seen.

I’m guessing some people will want to flex and win the auction, especially since there’s only one edition.

Honestly, I thought they’d just reuse the same Zora-style feature from Base App, but looks like Farcaster came up with something of their own. Gotta say, I’m impressed.

Totally agree. At this point in crypto, we’ve seen how powerful scarcity can be, just look at Bitcoin and how far that mindset has taken the ecosystem.

Unlike Zora’s approach, having a single, unique edition per post feels way more exciting and potentially valuable. It taps directly into that collector instinct.

This might actually work and not just as a gimmick, but as a real primitive for onchain media.
