GM! New arch and a purpler purple got a lot of attention this past week. BUT just when you thought that the new pants were the main character, here comes Clanker! Farcaster acquired Clanker and then Farcaster ended the week with dev day. We covered the rebrand last week and we'll be covering the Clanker acquisition tomorrow. AND on that note, we have a special Clanker Spotlight tomorrow with @dwr Dan Romero and @dish Jack Dishman on to chat about Farcaster's acquisition of Clanker! This surprise was announced Thursday, followed by FC dev day Friday so lots to talk about on Monday's GMFC. Slight time change to accommodate so we'll be on at 10:30 am ET with news then Dan and Jack will join at 11 am ET. AND another big guest this week -- @shawmakesmagic will be joining us on Wednesday to chat about ElizaOS agent framework and diving into Farcaster after a Twitter de-platforming.

Pichi’s Mom Enters the Chat (and Brings a Skeleton in Noggles): GM Farcaster ep301 Monday, October 20, 2025 Thank you Clanker, our Spotlight Partner, for sponsoring this episode. AND thanks to @thedude for popping by to chat about the Bribe app. TLDR: 🌀 GM Farcaster kicks off with fake AWS panic, Prof’s cursed flight home, and a hydration crisis 💧 creator-coin chaos dominates the weekend while Clanker, CoBuild, and Signet drop new onchain experiments 🎭 FarCon Rome gets official dates and everyone starts Googling hotels; and 🎃 Pichi’s mom wins the internet with a spooky skeleton fan art that melts everyone’s hearts. From our ChatGPT Intern: Episode 301 of GM Farcaster starts with mild chaos over a possible AWS outage before devolving into tales of Adrienne’s travel misadventures, dry nasal passages, and suspicious sugar-daddy DMs. Meanwhile, the crew somehow still covers creator-coin drama, FarCon Rome announcements, mini-app notifications, Clanker updates, and a heartfelt shout-out to “Pichi’s mom,” who celebrated their 300th episode with a spooky skeleton wearing noggles — proving once again that Farcaster moms are the real MVPs.

Meanwhile, Farcaster survived an AWS outage, launched a darker purple “pants-shaped” rebrand, and somehow still found time to debate whether coins, creators, or candles are the future of onchain culture.
