In a time of fast tech, shifting borders, and growing divides, it’s easy to choose speed over empathy, power over connection. But real progress isn’t measured in lines of code or territory claimed. It’s in how we care for each other.
''As innovation accelerates, may love stay our compass.
Less walls, more bridges.
Less fear, more understanding.
Less war, more love.''
That’s the revolution we really need. Let's Build.

What was once seen as a fringe, rebellious lifestyle has now taken center stage in the global spotlight. Surfing has carved its way into the mainstream from Olympic podiums to cutting-edge innovation and is now riding an entirely new wave: onchain culture.
Through the involvement of surfers in GnarsDAO, the sport merges with the future. It's not just about riding waves anymore, it's about building decentralized ecosystems, minting moments, and connecting global communities around shared stoke.
And in this oceanpowered year, here are some links to gnarly waves that rolled in with the arrival of a massive southeast swell along the Brazilian coast, plus some epic scenes from the giant waves of Nazaré, Portugal.

A Nouns Curiosity Between pixels, code, and ideas, the Nouns universe reveals a broad ecosystem where creativity and imagination go hand in hand. Now imagine turning each meal of the day into a small celebration of the Nouns world — whether it's a sauce shaped like noggles, a cut piece of seaweed, or even noodles molded into the iconic glasses.
That's exactly what Taroron does. An active participant in the Nouns ecosystem, he shares his unique culinary creations on Farcaster — always with a fun twist, visually stunning, and full of inspiration.

Farcon plays a critical role in advancing onchain development within the Farcaster ecosystem, a decentralized social protocol often considered a "Layer 3" due to its composability and user-centric infrastructure layered on top of existing blockchains. The event brings together developers, builders, and protocol architects to collaborate, showcase innovations, and align on shared standards. It facilitates ecosystem interoperability, encourages modular app development, and reinforces the cultural and technical momentum behind Farcaster. By fostering in-person coordination and experimentation, Farcon strengthens the foundation for long-term, scalable onchain social systems.
One of the standout players right now is Clanker, an AI agent that lets users create their own memecoins with just a simple text command. In just days, thousands of tokens have been launched directly within Farcaster, all deployed on Base Network, Coinbase’s L2 that stands out for low fees and high scalability.
Another project making waves is Noice, a mini-app designed to reward user engagement with micro USDC tips. Likes, replies, and recasts now trigger real economic value. The native $NOICE token has seen a sharp price increase in recent days, reflecting strong demand for this new form of social-financial interaction.
Alongside these, other projects like $HIGHER, $SPACE, $BREAD, $$CHECKR, $BANKR, $INDEXY and $DEGEN are emerging as examples of how micro-economies can flourish inside a social network. Tokens like HIGHER and DEGEN have gone viral, building community narratives organically while tapping into the liquidity and speed of Base.
A major milestone was the recent native wallet integration directly within Warpcast, Farcaster’s most popular client. Users can now send, receive, and interact with tokens without leaving the social interface. This became even more significant with the launch of Farcaster Pro, a paid subscription that not only unlocks extra features but also introduces a new economic layer through the distribution of $PROCOIN, creating a more sustainable value cycle within the platform.
What makes all of this truly innovative is how naturally Farcaster has done what other social networks have long promised but never delivered: integrating social experience with real economic value. Here, a post can become a token. An interaction can earn you USDC. A community can create its own market—permissionless, on-chain, and with near-instant liquidity, all powered by Base.
At a time when much of the crypto industry is still stuck in “future roadmap” mode, Farcaster is proving that the future of SocialFi is already happening.

Droposals represent a technical and gnarly evolution for GnarsDAO. By leveraging a smart contract with built-in split rewards, every video, premiere, or creative project can be minted as an NFT directly through our site. This means that when a shredder or creator drops something epic, it not only documents their journey but also creates an onchain collectible with real value.
A portion of each sale flows back to the GnarsDAO treasury, reinforcing the community fund while giving artists and athletes their fair share. This aligns incentives in a way that keeps the DAO financially healthy, culturally active, and creatively charged.
Initiatives like Droposals aren’t just about funding—they’re about keeping the stoke alive, turning moments into collectibles, and making sure every trick, clip, or piece of art has the potential to fuel the next chapter of GnarsDAO.
Check out the latest $Delta Drop from Gnars Noggles Delta: A Brief History of Nogglestacles in Rio
GnarsDAO is deeply committed to fostering a unique blend of content creation, art, and action sports all powered by onchain innovation. By linking creators and athletes through the iconic Noggles imagery, Gnars continues to expand the Nouns ecosystem with powerful storytelling and meaningful cultural outputs. After more than three years of consistent support for artists, athletes, and underserved communities worldwide, the DAO remains focused on evolving its governance systems and execution dynamics to ensure scalable, inclusive impact. The mission is simple: keep building, keep shredding, keep it gnarly onchain and beyond.
This film documents the making of Noggles Delta, a new sculpture installed in downtown Rio de Janeiro. It captures the entire production process while offering a brief history of Nogglestacles—from the original Noggles Rail to Gnars' involvement in ILoveXV 2022, and the spread of these nounish obstacles across the globe. Directed by Yan Felipe, the documentary follows artist PHARRA XV over several months, chronicling the design and creation of this latest Nogglestacle. It also uncovers the roots of the movement in Rio, showing how it helped transform the city into a global node of nounish culture.
