Pretty interesting to think about what could happen with $2M thoughtfully infused into an ecosystem of builders. The sky will go higher in 2026.

Skycastle — Week 11 Update & Priorities Week 11 was intentionally slower as we move toward year-end, with focus remaining on client execution, pipeline development & network coordination. Pipeline & Intake • Two new proposals went out this week. • Three new founders entered the Pipe, with calls scheduled. • Intake remains selective as we prioritize servicing existing clients & planning Q1 onboarding. Network Updates & Expansion • Went live on Twitter Spaces with @linda. Full video below. • Continued progress on internal infrastructure as we reverse-engineer bots & improve coordination across the network. • Roughly half of the first Council cohort (18-20 seats) has settled, expanding the Network to nearly 40 advisors deep. • The full first Council cohort will be announced next week. Incentives • November incentives have been distributed, including the first incentive payouts to Council members. • $SKY incentives remain intentionally large through year-end to reward meaningful contribution & alignment. Client Updates QUOTIENT • Continued momentum on the leaderboard product with deeper community integrations. Check it out below. • Additional joint initiatives with Skycastle are in development. CHARMS / $CODY • Ongoing capital formation work. • Continued progress toward TGE planning & platform direction into the new year. LIKES.FUN • Act II is live. Sign up below to hunt viral clips. • Users can curate early TikTok content, rank virality & earn USDC. $RIPS • Significant strategic progress on inventory management & gamification systems. • New inventory strategy shaping up nicely. DEN • Continued progress on new Live Commerce feature. • More creators added. Skycastle remains conviction-driven & long-term focused. If you are building, or know someone building, and believe Skycastle may be a fit, reach out. Accepted referrals remain substantial & founders can refer themselves.

Top 10 Clanker Tokens by Market Cap. Good data point to show what tokens are popular on Farcaster. There's other data points too but I think this may be one of the most important things to track to see what types of tokens are valued by people on Farcaster, especially now that Clanker is part of Merkle. It's telling that 8/10 are project tokens or appcoins. I think that these types of tokens will continue to make up the majority of the Top 10 Clanker tokens by market cap. I want more traders for appcoins and project tokens like $CALNKER, $BNKR, $NOICE, $BRACKY, $FAIR, $i, $QR and $MACHINES. More traders would be healthy for the ecosystem if these are the kinds of tokens they're interested in trading. Many of these "traders" are often users of these apps. These apps having a token gives them a tool to create alignment between their users and the market value of their project via the associated token. This is a worthwhile area to cater to and cultivate. I'd love to see more trading volume on these tokens and other appcoins like $RIPS and $LIKES which we've helped incubate at @skycastle. Traders get a bad rap but they're an important part of crypto and markets. Speculators help with price discovery and they often help fund the innovation and experimentation. Trading is risky. Building a startup is risky. Every financial decision has an element of risk to it. Farcaster uniquely enables the social layer around tokens and other onchain assets like NFTs. The shift to focus more towards trading and financial markets makes sense but we shouldn't have to lose the social fabric that has made this place special. We can have both despite Merkle focusing more on the trading instead of social. Farcaster is special because of the people, projects and builders that are active on the network. I'm confident that will continue to be the case and I'm hopeful that we will grow the network more than ever over the coming months.

This is a good model for token presales (pretty similar to the @partydao mechanics) Alternatively, I think we'll likely see some more presales where the presale allocation is sold via NFTs which then have the right to claim a token allocation at a later date. More teams would be better to set a date and conduct more of a roadshow to onboard users, communicate their plans, etc. Here's some things I think every team should do when handling a presale: - Minimum lockup time (30 days at least but ideally longer) - Set % of presale funds provisioned for liquidity - Very clear and consistent comms

Skycastle — Week 10 Update & Priorities Week 10 was steady & execution-focused as we continued servicing current clients while reopening the Pipe in a limited capacity. Client Pipeline & Intake • Held three calls with new founders this week. • One new proposal going out, with more founders entering the funnel. • We are slowly onboarding clients 6, 7, and 8, but remain disciplined — client servicing remains the priority. • The Pipe has officially reopened, but intake will be selective through year-end. Treasury & Keep Dashboard Our Treasury now reflects: • 5% of $RIPS (locked) • 5% of $LIKES (locked) • 1% of $CODY (locked) • 5% of CHARMS (pending TGE) • 5% of DEN (pending TGE) • 5% of QUOTIENT (pending TGE) • $CLANKER accumulated on the way down (also pico top) • $ETH from early partner presale You can view everything at: 👉 keep.skycastle.network Keep shows all token warrants, Treasury positions, partner allocations, and vesting statuses in real time. Client Updates DEN.SHOW • Platform polish + streaming onboarding improvements • Three $SKY partners streamed this week • Live commerce product continuing to advance QUOTIENT • Leaderboard product continues gaining momentum • SocialDEX temporarily deprioritized as FC leans into presales & spotlights • Leadership position emerging in airdrops, holder scoring & distribution intelligence CHARMS • Capital formation work + new platform token progress • Tokenomics refinement moved into advanced stage this week LIKES.FUN • Ongoing development of Act II — daily playlist, virality rankings & curation mechanics • Continued testing of A/B flows & creator-focused reward structures $RIPS • TGE live • Stake & earn now active • Gifting feature launched; respond on FC for a free RIPS pack Network & Infrastructure • Incentives modeled out for November — significantly reduced vs. October but still substantial. • Incentives will remain elevated through year-end, then revisited in early 2026 as we plan for long-term scale. • 7 Council members onboarded, with up to 10 to be announced next week. • Council members are now inside our second Telegram (the 100-person network channel). • @dtech contributors are building + reverse-engineering bots to prepare our comms layer for full scale. TLDR This week focused on: • Advancing clients toward TGEs & year-end milestones • Updating Treasury + Keep for real-time transparency • Modeled Nov incentives for partners & council • Reopening the Pipe responsibly with one new proposal • Onboarding the first wave of Council members • Preparing infra (Telegram bots + comms stack) for broader scale Next Week • Announce our first Council Cohort • Drop this month’s incentive allocations • Expand KEEP with additional data surfaces • Push new founder proposals forward • Continue client servicing across DEN, RIPS, LIKES, QUOTIENT, and CHARMS Skycastle remains focused: servicing clients, compounding productive assets & scaling the network — carefully, deliberately & with conviction. Everything else is noise.

Was there a negative nav purchase or something? @itsbasil a few more questions from someone long in a few accounts. Were these programmatic buys? What address do those buys happen from? How do we know how much powered there is for purchases & finally when they may happen timing wise? Eg is it end of week or month that you purchase if portfolio value rises or sky is falling

Tokens can enable the future that we all want but they do require good actors and good alignment. Nobody said it would be easy but tokens are a very powerful tool if leveraged thoughtfully.

Week 8 Update & Priorities Week 8 delivered major momentum across the Skycastle network, with multiple client launches, platform announcements & meaningful progress on network expansion. Client Updates $CODY & DEN • Both presented at Base Batches in Buenos Aires. • CODY announced CHARMS, the new platform that will power all future onchain agents across the CODY ecosystem. • DEN continued to add creators to their platform. $RIPS • Official token now live, the first fully incubated Skycastle token. • Limited float & controlled supply to prioritize long-term holders; liquidity will be recapitalized over time. • Heavy dev buy established a floor; to be distributed to loyalists. • Stake-and-earn system plus 6-month airdrop cycle live this month. QUOTIENT • Released its Leaderboard App, arriving just as Farcaster sunset its creator leaderboard. • Strong early traction & competitive engagement across the feed. $LIKES • Announced Act II, a new gamification & curation engine that let's user earn by identifying viral content early. Skycastle tokens continue to be built as productive assets — value is earned & compounded through use, not hype. Network Expansion • We will officially onboard 10 new Council members next week. • Seat payments are currently being collected & the cohort will be announced once all contributions settle. • This brings the network size to ~40 contributors ahead of the next expansion phase. The Castle Keep Dashboard • The Skycastle Treasury Dashboard is fully built & ready to go. • However, we will wait to launch officially next week so that our RIPS allocation is fully secured in Treasury before the public reveal. The Keep Dashboard will include: • Real-time NAV • Treasury holdings • Partner bios & allocations • All token warrants & positions Ecosystem & Distribution • Multiple $SKY distribution campaigns ran across Farcaster this week. • Larger ecosystem-wide campaigns are being planned. • Podcasts now live: Acid Test & 11AM (linked in next post). Pipeline & Intake • One proposal from last week is in advanced discussions. • One additional proposal is being considered. • We remain disciplined on intake: we will not onboard more clients than we can service with excellence. Skycastle is designed for depth first, then scale. Market Context While broader markets remain soft, nothing in our thesis has changed. Our approach continues to center on: • Building productive tokens, • Compounding NAV, • Expanding aligned holders, • Strengthening the ecosystem. Conviction is rewarded — always.

RIPS TGE is tomorrow!! Very excited about Rips and what @naz1188 @pagameba are building. Rips is a great example of an appcoin where the onchain fee revenue could be redirected to further power the token and ensure that tokenholders participate in the success and growth of the app. Apps with onchain fee revenue are the future. Tomorrow we rip it.
