Questions? Reply to this email, I read them all .Web3I’ve always known that Yungwknd does some crazy stuff onchain as a coder, builder and artist but these past couple of weeks and months he REALLY has taken it to another level. He recently dropped a new piece titled Black Hole Taxy, which on the face is a nice piece. But under the hood of this piece is a smart contract where the collector spends ETH but the artist in this case yungwknd, receives USDC. Now this may not seem impressive to some or why does it even matter? But for alot of artists, this will be a game changer. This will make your CPA believe in you again, only for you to let them down when you receive an airdrop for using OnlyFeet token.The Doomed DAO unlocked a new achievement and officially earned its name this past week. They have completed the full set of The Doomed by XCOPY. DAOs get a bad rap sometimes in the space for losing engagement or not being cohesive enough but this is a great accomplishment by the group. The Doomed DAO @thedoomedxyz 1/10 Unveiling a Historic Moment for The Doomed DAO! We are thrilled to announce the completion of "The Doomed" by @XCOPYART a full edition set acquisition This monumental achievement took the collective effort of over 100 members and an entire year to accomplish 226 5:24 AM • Jun 10, 2024 Over on the Ordinals side, Postwoolk/Natasha is dropping a super dope collection. The main gist is the day the sat was mined will influence the color and visuals as it is using satellite data from that time to influence the art being presented. Really great stuff and showing the power of ordinals. There is more to this project so I suggest checking it out.Another project dropping on the day of this newsletter is by Jcode. This one is a gen art project and open edition. More and more artist are minting on BTC and I am here for it.Beyond The ArchesWe’ve been seeing a lot more VC movement in the crypto space and specifically on the farcaster side of things. Paradigm just announced they raised some more funds, so buckle up, it is about to get spicy. Matt Huang @matthuang Paradigm has raised our third fund: an $850M venture fund focused on crypto projects at the earliest stage. 2,161 9:01 AM • Jun 13, 2024 Farcaster now supports longer casts, precisely casts that are 1024 character long. This was discussed in public for a while and glad to see it get over the finish line. Keep in mind that this was discussed not too long ago and it is already live. I will keep saying this until those not on Farcaster believe me, but the pace in this place is nuts. With many of us testing a bunch of new apps on Farcaster, this tool by Stephan is extremely timely as you remove permissions from apps, those messages get removed from your Farcaster profile as well. This tools help you migrate your messages from one app to another with ease. I think this process will get easier as time goes by, but for now I am happy we have a tool to help people in the meantime.FarcasterStephan on Warpcastwhen you delete a signer, all messages signed by it also get deleted - without the ability to easily migrate messages to a new signer the portability of your farcaster account is diminished that's why i built https://signers.steer.fun desktop recommended, but works on mobile. runs fastest locally w/ local hub https://signers.steer.funBonfire recently announces season passes. Which is a really cool new way to provide benefits but for a certain amount of time. Having more tools to launch custom experiences is always appreciated. FVCKRENDER took advantage of this to offer behind the scenes look of a new gallery they are building and more.

I love apps that go for that terminal look and operate like one. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but sometime simpler really is better.Farcastertreethought on Warpcastexcited to share tofui, the Terminally On Farcaster User Interface! Right now it requires a @neynar application, but also working on hosting it as an ssh app /raw/main/media/demo.gif https://github.com/treethought/tofui https://github.com/treethought/tofui/raw/main/media/demo.gif https://github.com/treethought/tofuiThere is another platform that now lets you launch your own channel token, called far_terminal by Carlos. This one is a good looking app and what I find the differentiator between this and other apps that help you create your own tokens is that it ties a bit closer to Farcaster where I believe the synergies are stronger. You can airdrop tokens to community members that contribute to your community etc.FarcasterCarlos on WarpcastThere’s more: View channel feeds, track staged tokens, follow real-time transactions, and swap (cross-chain ready). Available now on web and mobile. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/dbaab7f3-2c91-4800-c9bf-d65bd3702d00/originalCollectNotable SalesModerate Decay by DieWithTheMostLikes sold for 30k. I think the crazier thing that stood out to me about this piece is the fact that Pindar Van Arman has a bunch of robots making meat art. Explaining Die’s art and the robots is one hell of a story. Pindar Van Arman 💎 @VanArman He's not exaggerating when he says fully fvckable. I left my beef brothko alone with my robots, and this is what happened. Good luck on the auction tomorrow @toadswiback. Some lucky mofo will be getting more than what they bargained for. die with the most likes @toadswiback the first of its kind, fully fuckable stew meat auction is wrapping in two days and bids continue to pile up like the comments section of a beloved brazzers video tasked with saving the sex lives of a country. massively fucking grateful for the love on this brutal fucker. 85 8:26 AM • Jun 10, 2024 As most of you know, I don’t typically talk about PFPs on here. But this Noun caught my attention. Noun 1142 sold for 5.44 ETH.SIMULACRUM by XCOPY sold for 5 ETH. Still one of my favorite onchain pieces by XCOPY, but I am a bit biased. 🤖 @xcopybot SIMULACRUM sold for 5.0Ξ opensea.io/assets/ethereu… 61 11:06 AM • Jun 14, 2024 Doom Vision Pro by Lexdoom sold for 0.5 ETH.FarcasterLex Doom on Warpcastgm Doomers! 💀 Woke up this morning to a bid on my @superrare genesis 'Doom Vision Pro'! 🎉 Just under 14 hours remain in the auction.

I personally have never liked the way chat has been done on Spaces, so let’s see if this is better even than what Twitter has.FarcasterRamit Agarwal (🎩,🎙️) on WarpcastAlpha 👀👀 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/7c31fef8-b80b-4f72-20aa-c919c184a600/originalSahil, announced the first iteration of more lego blocks channel owners and really anyone to build on. Essentially this would be power badges that are decentralized per channel and more.

I finished editing the Dalek episode and premium subscribers have had access since Friday to listen. The episode will drop this Friday for everyone else. Really great episode on someone who has been at this for a very long time. Other than that, I had some calls with some more artists and builders for the next batch of podcast and newsletter features. Got a couple of other things in the hopper as well as we will have our first artist drop of the year shortly. I’ve been stacking these up so they come out on a more regular basis.KnowledgeHave you ever been curious about how Coinbase chose its name. Brian confirmed some suspicion that it came from the Bitcoin wiki, the .com domain was available and reasonable and the rest is history. Cool little fact for you all this onchain summer. Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong Correct - in 2012 while trying to figure out what to name the company, i was cruising through the Bitcoin wiki looking for unique terms and came across this word. The .com had a buy-it-now price of $1,795 I believe. Checked the trademark availability on USPTO site and decided to… Optimus (interop/era) @0xOptimus seeing COINBASE in the Ethereum Yellow Paper led me to learn that @coinbase is named after coinbase transactions, which is the first transaction in a PoW block that is used to reward miners. 2,201 5:15 PM • Jun 3, 2024 Collectibles Nothing this week.SubscribeMeme Of The WeekI am going to tell myself that this person waited for Father’s Day weekend to drop this one, which gave me a good chuckle.Honorary meme by DWR.FinHave a great rest of your week!
