Base

$HARK$ 🦈🦈🦈

A birthday is just another building block.

Today, we turn 13. And it’s still early.

the @base gas target is now 35 mgas/s (+2.5)

on pectra day, we continue our march to 1 Ggas/s

What does Farcaster look like in the near term?

At some point this summer:

1. Coinbase Wallet will have a Farcaster-powered feed in their mobile app with millions of existing users. This will be the most significant increase to practical decentralization of the protocol since the beginning.

2. Our app will be called Farcaster. Easy to explain to the average person—"download Farcaster in the App Store".

3. Sign ups for most people will be free. Link your X / Twitter account and no payment required.

4. Wallet will be available on web. And thanks to auth addresses, no more "please open your phone to continue using this mini app".

5. Wallet and mini apps will expand their support to multiple chains. If there's an interesting app in crypto, the goal will be to have it play nicely with Farcaster.

6. We're going to continue scaling our weekly reward programs: iterating on casting and building mini apps, but we're also working on a new version of the invite program that rewards referrals AND retention.

farcaster in @coinbasewallet is coming very soon

hello y'all, my name's bigtown

you might have seen me about in the trenches or on twitter, but decided to take the leap and start cooking on farcaster

right now I’m splitting time between:
📈 growth for a (fairly) popular crypto YT channel
🤖 contributing to an AI x onchain project on base
🧪 experimenting with fun, weird stuff on the side; mostly memecoins, vibecoding, and experiments that probably shouldn’t work (but sometimes do)

i’m mostly here to connect with other builders and curious folks, and start expanding my personal brand a bit more!

(honestly though, i just need an audience for my shitposts. we all do.)

drop a cast if you’re building, want feedback, or just want to say hello; let’s cook 🔥

local stablecoins are starting to take off on @base

the best thing about me being gone for a month was the chorus of other voices that started leading for @base

who have you most loved hearing from?

ham-punks

I've finished up a Farcaster token standard for HAM L3

FID20: https://github.com/ham-official/FID20

TLDR:
FID20 tokens are ERC20 tokens that can only be owned and traded by wallets with Farcaster accounts.

I've deployed the first example of this on Ham:
$FID - The First FID20 on Ham

Contract: https://ham.calderaexplorer.xyz/token/0x24DFEb78F6b87C34c85dAeD2A0994A108ae60649

Help me test it by claiming some $FID from this frame! 

Gas is paid by me, you'll get tokens based on your HAM Score + a little boost for holding /ham-punks
