Higher is a lifestyle, a movement, a meme for optimists, an affirmation. It started from a cast, progressed into a channel and a token, and has now evolved into a headless brand. Higher is also a culture. And culture is represented by people. Who comes to mind when you think Higher? Athletes. Ambitious, hard-working, disciplined, striving to improve, and pursuing a higher self. Higher Athletes Program is a grant initiative to fund higher-aligned athletes from Farcaster.
