Pro Community Token | $PRO 0xF65C3c30dd36b508E29a538B79b21e9b9E504E6C

Introducing $PROCOIN, the community-led governance token for Farcaster Pro users.

All 10k NFT holders are eligible for an airdrop.

But there’s a twist.

**The token will be untransferable until 500 Pro users claim.**

In order to get a mandate as a community token, we need broad support.

To claim, quotecast this post with the text “Ratifying @procoin governance”

All 10k NFT holders are eligible, but the first 500 claimers will receive ~5x the allocation.

@procoin i'll make u the featured collection on the homepage next week if you can give me a 3:2 image banner

the lege himself submitted to the 5m $pro mini app competition 

what’s so sick about fc and tokens and open platforms is that we just willed infra we needed for the probots launch into existence by just asking for it and incentivizing it. looking forward to the other submissions too

interesting thought: 

> capital is a stronger input than attention

second-order effects of polymarket + x are ridiculous. we haven't even begun to grasp what happens when capital and social media converge

- embedded prediction markets inside posts. 'bet' becomes a default reaction alongside 'like' and 'repost'. betting shifts from intentional

sometimes i get restless about farcaster’s pace, then i open x, bluesky, or reddit & remember: fc is still the least toxic room on the public forum

everything we grumble about here—hyper-financialization, ai sludge, echo-chamber groupthink—exists everywhere else at 10× scale

that’s not a farcaster flaw; it’s the web in 2025… open forums can’t sustain real signal

bots, yield-seekers, and low-effort content overwhelm niche expertise… as the dead-internet materializes, real conversation will retreat behind walls

the winning pattern is small, curated networks: 15-person group chats, 150-member private servers—numbers that track with dunbar’s limits on trust—these groups have almost exclusively pushed the world forward these last 20 years…

nations, firms & creators that control their own walled gardens capture both mind-share & margin…

geopolitically, socially, philosophically… the future is not “open” despite what the technocrats tell you

it’s closed

seems likely that "the farcaster feed" will soon give way to other primitives as the dominant channel (no pun intended) on the network

running a crypto project is like being a ping pong ball and one player is bashing you over the head for not pumping your coin while the other player is bashing you over the head for trying to drive value towards your coin

we do it for love of the game tho

The reality of the Trump - Elon situation 

- Trump calls for rate cuts after bad Job data (indicating recession) 

- Powell says inflation is lowering, no need to cut rates, this is all part of the process 

- Trump upset crashes out on Elon knowing Elon will retaliate and cause

The 8d chess explanations are hilarious

Time to drop the really big bomb

@six didn’t fill out his W9 but is still earning weekly rewards

how did ben rice go from hitting below the mendoza line (< .200 avg) to potentially one of the best sluggers on the yankees in one offseason? 

a quick cast thread on rice's increase in bat speed, decrease in launch angle, and how sustainable his performance is. 

statcast data and baseball savant visualization to illustrate the progression in ben rice's game

rice also has a great personality and intellect

you always see flight to quality on red days like these

i thought it was already known that trump was in the epstein files?
