today, the winning formula for building a category-defining consumer brand is to have one or more of the following: 1) ridiculous ad spend, 2) a creator/celebrity distribution, or 3) a cult-like community. in lieu of spending millions of dollars on facebook/google advertising, or unless you're a creator with a casual 10m+ followers, you need to cultivate your own community that becomes your marketing engine and distribution channel. and that's why we're co-leading @tyhunnny and a team that has firsthand experience in building a community-led brand from the ground up and is now productizing those components on crypto rails. https://fortune.com/2025/06/11/ty-haney-tyb-try-your-best-series-a-loyalty-consumer/

Here’s what clanker has coming up: 1. Upgrade clanker.world The @operatingsystem crew (@fffflood +  @phragg) are deep in the mix here, you can expect a sleek new frontend that feels less “website” and more "what's clankin" 2. Clanker v4: hooks, unleashed @lobstermindset.eth has been busy developing flexible contract patterns, shaping what we believe will become the flagship hook implementation for Uniswap v4 * think react.js is to uniswap as next.js is to clankerv4 * 3. Clanker-SDK The goal is deployments simple enough for memecoins, yet offers robust configurations for the next onchain unicorn. Whatever you can dream up, it'll be possible with a clanker.

Clanker has recently become aware of information concerning @proxystudio.eth's conduct during his previous employment. Following these revelations, @proxystudio.eth has decided to part ways with Clanker, effective immediately. We want to assure our community, partners, and stakeholders that Clanker's operations and assets remain unaffected by this situation. This matter relates solely to activities that occurred prior to his involvement with our organization. Our team is implementing an immediate transition plan to ensure continuity of all operations. We remain fully committed to transparency, integrity, and delivering exceptional token experiences to our community. We appreciate your continued support and trust during this time.

Hi Casters. I had the privilege of doing a chat on stage at Farcon today with @dwr.eth. I just checked in on the feedback here and it seems like people liked it. I saw this photo in the feed and I have no idea why I was pointing up. But that's where we are going with Farcaster.

likely unpopular opinion / hot take but whatever: i actually wish more VCs (and no, not only crypto VCs) were here most likely to analyze trends, talk to hundreds of smart people a year, patternmatch across industries, and write in public in a way that invites good convos s/o to @alanadlevin @winnie @yekim ily

it’s not every day that you get to work with people you love and love what you do. I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to do both with @strobefund. we recently spun out of @blocktower and started strobe, a new early-stage venture fund focused on backing bold founders who are leveraging onchain primitives to create new markets and replatform industries. i’m excited to be able to do this alongside my two amazing partners, @tklocanas and @spvenino, whom i’ve had the privilege of investing with for the past three years. and we’re humbled to have the backing and trust of an amazing group of LPs. together, we’ve partnered with some of the smartest founders in the space, and we’re just getting started !! https://blog.strobe.fund/introducing-strobe-vc
