Positive Sum is a community dedicated to empowering on-chain creators. As Farcaster thrives, everyone benefits. We aim to ensure creators feel welcomed, valued, and empowered to shape this positive-sum ecosystem.
Abundance, Not Scarcity
We reject the zero-sum mindset and believe in abundance—a world where everyone wins by expanding opportunities and creating shared value. Positive Sum is dedicated to helping creators and communities grow through collaboration, not competition, and by exploring the emergent properties and behaviors that arise when creators work together in novel ways.
The Power of On-Chain Creation
Farcaster is more than a platform; it’s a culture of innovation and ownership. On-chain technology allows creators to fully control their content and value. We aim to support you in harnessing this potential, transforming your Farcaster experience into a journey of genuine connection, discovery, and growth.
Our Mission: Lift Creators, Build Together
Our mission is to empower creators to thrive in the Farcaster Economy (or Farconomy). We are cultivating a community that fosters shared success and the exploration of new ideas and possibilities.
A Culture of Support
Our weekly community spaces fuel connections, collaboration, and friendships, ensuring creators have a welcoming space to learn and grow. Positive Sum thrives on a “pay it forward” ethos, enriching the community through mutual support, shared knowledge, and the creative possibilities that emerge from these interactions.
A Positive-Sum Future
Positive Sum fosters an ecosystem where every contribution compounds into collective progress and emergent potential. As Farcaster grows, we’re committed to lifting every creator along the way.
Join Positive Sum on Farcaster https://warpcast.com/~/channel/positivesum
We invite creators, innovators, and builders to join Positive Sum, where your growth fuels collective success and new possibilities. Together, we’ll build a thriving, abundant future on Farcaster.
Together, we are Positive Sum.

Building the definitive list of creators covering the Farcaster ecosystem that I would want to use if I were a new Farcaster user If you’re covering Farcaster contents with a link to your work and I’ll gladly add you https://warpcast.com/humpty/pack/Creators-nvsf83
“comment” with a link to your work spelling is apparently not a requirement 😮💨
TY! 💜 but Farokh? Hasn’t really casted for 7 months. If it’s just creators in general that makes sense. But your prompt said “covering the Farcaster ecosystem” so could just expand it to creators in general.
he has covered it in Spaces but I get your point 🫡
@designthyme good follows to start with in this pack
who are your favorite creators on farcaster?
love the idea 🔥 @jonathancolton and i have been doing a weekly tavern/farhouse for about 6 months now focused on being a creator in the fc eco! main audience is photographers but ppl join from all areas - just put it into channel form too when we launched /positivesum ✊
That’s, amazing. Added.
appreciate u!
I second @eriks comments. /positivesum is a new-ish community formed around the ethos of helping artists and creators participate in the Farconomy. Here is our manifesto: https://paragraph.xyz/@jonathancolton.eth/positive-sum-manifesto?referrer=0xe19753f803790D5A524D1fD710D8a6D821a8Bb55
This is lovely. Added and subscribed.

Love this initiative 🤍
This sounds amazing! @eriks @jonathancolton 👏 I have many, many ideas lol, which is shocking I’m sure. I have some resources already on explaining fc to people, I’ll see if I can consolidate some
Thank you Cal! We would love to hear your ideas and appreciate any resources you can share. 💜 💜 CC: @eriks
will hopefully be able to join the next tavern! here's an article in the meantime, goes more into the philosophy of what it means that Farcaster was originally named RSS+ and distinguishing from web2 social media: https://paragraph.xyz/@wanderloots.eth/worldbuilding?referrer=0x316822580ee3725209fD96b1208ef53b73825E56
Ok, about time I read this
What were your thoughts? My first question is whether our mission is too narrow. That's one of the things that I want to discuss on the community call tomorrow.
Maybe, how do you discover new users? Or it could be an active movement towards onboarding people we know and want to bring here

I love it
I hope you will join us on this journey!
I will try to do my best
Very cool man! going to be a fantastic channel
I want to invite newer users who I know and have met @sarasebteyni, my good friends @iraconda, @dirtnoise (who just came back) and @studi08f0rev3r all trying to navigate come here for some resources. 💜
This is awesome @jacque! Welcome to /positivesum @sarasebteyni @iraconda, @dirtnoise and @studi08f0rev3r We invite new or new-ish creatives to join /positivesum with the link. They should introduce themselves and their work to the community with an introductory cast, like this one https://warpcast.com/jeroenv78/0x6240e06a. We have a community that wants to support them with: - follows, likes, recasts, and tipping. - Introduce them to channels. - Mentor them if possible or required - provide them with resources like a 30-day success plan -Have weekly community Happy Hours We are in the testing phase and are refining this process as we go along. https://warpcast.com/~/channel/positivesum/join?inviteCode=pIy2hZHfLgjTZhBr_-b7Og cc: @eriks

Thank you so much homie! We know creatives are coming and we're going to help them thrive on FC. This is the way.
🚀🚀🚀
this is the manifesto we need, thank you @jonathancolton @eriks for creating and sharing this manifesto! the immediate mission for new users to succeed on Farcaster is a tangible issue to focus on, here for it 🚗 💨
appreciate u! if u know anyone new here or even been around for a while but still getting the hang of things, would love to chat w em in here!
you @jonathancolton cooking on this 5000 $Degen 🎩 Love this initiative
for sure - I'll put myself in that category too because i'm still confused half the time here!
Good read, this would really help a lot of new comers
This is wonderful! 100 $DEGEN
excited for this. I see FC as a big place for developers. I've still not seen a whole lot (outside token mechanics) to entice artists to STAY. Understand each artist may be after something different; from engagement, to community, etc but curious on how this project will help bring folks over
This is the energy I get behind - we're in this together, the need to foster relationships and connection as we continue to build the overall FC community. Starting out at 0 is intimidating af, anything we can do to alleviate that will helps folks thrive and stay.
Great manifesto! Where is the weekly happy hour?

Hey @jonathancolton and @eriks, A few weeks ago, we made this guide to help people coming to Warpcast set up their profiles, understand how some things work around here and give them some tips for building their network of friends. I think it has a lot to do with the initiative you're doing. I hope you enjoy it: https://warpcast.com/marcelonada/0x5de0c75d
This is amazing man! Thank you for sharing this. I am going to bookmark it. Perhaps we can have translations for Japanese, Korean and Spanish + others too!
We have made it in Brazilian Portuguese: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i87iBmC3sM8vszgnXMaO93yQuvbEHKgp55yS-fu9XSE/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.dd0vgeg4vhmr https://warpcast.com/marcelonada/0x10924411
hell yes, thanks for sharing, what this place is all about ✊
Welcome Erik✨
I was so lost and still am many days here that something that actually facilitated aid vs just infographics and numbers to build community is amazing. Will bookmark the article to read later got a lot of work to go through for my November challenge and gotta try to save up money and get base-builds so I can go to /farcon-nyc this year.
Side note, I get a 404 on @eriks’ paragraph page @jonathancolton
Hi! You got 404'ed on the link shared above? It's working for me - any details to see if we can reproduce it?
Also didn’t realize it’s JC’s page until I clicked 😆
