TL:DR Swag battle over rare hats πΈ Degen wallet hack loses $500K but price pumps π Dev call updates on storage, profile tokens & mini apps π² Telegram scams roasted and wallet feature wish list shared π° betr spins, staking and poker
From our ChatGPT Intern: Prof and βNotAdrienne.ethβ (Toadyhawk) opened Fridayβs GM Farcaster with a swag-off that turned into a fashion critique of very yellow hats, before pivoting to the Degen wallet hack where $500K vanished but the token price mysteriously moonwalked upward. From there they dunked on Telegram scams, riffed on developer jargon they barely understood, and turned protocol updates into punchlines about βmanifestingβ apps and Poland time.

Fridayβs GM Farcaster episode opened with Prof welcoming βNotAdriennne.ethβ aka Toady Hawk back into the co-host seat, complete with a running joke about ENS names and fashion choices. What started as a casual βGMβ quickly turned into a swag-off, with both hosts flexing rare merch and critiquing hats so yellow they were basically safety vests. Between laughs about limited-edition hoodies and souvenirs, the show set the tone as equal parts news update and comedy roast.
The big headline was a hack that drained about $500K from Degen wallets, yet somehow the token price went up instead of down. The hosts dubbed it a βbullish hack,β joking that only in crypto could theft turn into a green candle. They highlighted the quick response from the team, who secured contracts, migrated wallets, and warned the community to ignore suspicious messages sent during a brief βPoland timeβ hack window. Listeners were reminded to stay skeptical if a team ever suddenly switches time zonesβbecause thatβs the real red flag.
Attention then turned to updates from the Farcaster dev call, with Dylsteck posting a detailed thread that the hosts gleefully mined for content. They ran through protocol updates like app-based storage, profile tokens (aka the new way to prove your love for Betrmint), and fresh paint for the Farcaster app. Prof admitted that most of the jargon sounded like gibberish, quipping that Adrienne usually translates βdev-speakβ into English, while Toady Hawk played along by making puns about βmanifestingβ apps. Even the most technical points were served with humor, proving that Farcaster news can double as stand-up material.
The back half of the show tackled community questions, starting with Linda asking what people love and hate about Telegram. Both hosts launched into a tirade about scams, impersonators, and fake accounts, with Toady Hawk swearing that Telegram has basically become a scammerβs theme park. From there, they shifted into wallet wish lists: requests for buy/sell history, easier swaps, and cleaner activity logs. The conversation tied back to onboarding new users and students, with both hosts agreeing that while the tech has improved dramatically (hello, lightning-fast swaps), thereβs still room to make Farcaster wallets even more user-friendly.
