Relaunching an already established coin on Farcaster through Clanker was a wild experience in the best way possible. I enjoyed every part of it, and everyone around was ready to help whenever needed. When I first built Bario, it wasn’t a company or even an app. It started as a small JS loop that generated pixel characters. One of those loops became Bario, and then a Farcaster frame (frames v1 - you’ll be remembered) turned it into a token. That moment changed everything. From there, that token became a community, the community made us build apps, and you know the rest… The relaunch process was intense but full of learning. We rebuilt the token from the ground up, designed a migration that kept every holder’s value intact, and handled all of it through Clanker’s feature set. We built a tool, a mini app for the old token holders, to make them fully aware of what was happening, why we were doing it, and how they could easily migrate their old tokens. This tool we built and the Clanker SDK worked perfectly together. With this tech stack, we managed to make something that used to be painful and risky feel smooth, transparent, and safe. This part deserves a lot of credit. You rock, everybody! 🔥🔥🔥 I’d like to mention some names. When we launched bariOS half a year ago, there were barely any users. Yet one person somehow found it, explored it, and shared it like it already mattered. That person was @linda. She was the first to really see what we were building. She talked about it in her casts, shared it in her streams, used it actively, gave me feedback again and again, and even pushed for my name to appear in Talent Protocol’s “Builders” campaign on Times Square. She was the first person who made me feel like this whole thing was real, and @farcaster is home. Kudos to my first hero in this story. Then came @dish. From the very start of migration talks, he understood the process and how delicate it was. He went through everything, offered help, provided clarity when things were messy, and cared about every small detail. After the Farcaster–Clanker deal, these two kept Bario on their radar constantly. They checked in, followed every step of the migration, and asked if there was anything they could help with. To anyone else working on their Clanker relaunch, my advice is this: Document everything. Ship easy-to-use apps for people to bring their tokens. Make sure the migration window is long enough, and don’t forget to define a late claim. Be transparent. Don’t rush the story. Preserve the market cap, and honor the supply share of your holders. That’s what we did on $BAES. Thanks again to everyone who helped me and my team along the way. And thank you, @dwr and @v , for creating the environment where something like Bario could exist and grow. The journey continues, and this time we clank together. Bario.
