Farcaster is a playground for crypto experiments—I find myself discovering and trying something new every week, and more often than not, I’m surprised. This is my attempt to log my experiences. 9 weeks in now
faragent let's anyone turn their token into a tipping token. I discovered it via a $VEIL tip i got from nico.
How does it work? Just call @faragent and request to tip. I have seen a few versions in play where one the agent itself decides the token to tip or in some cases the person invoking the tip can specify the token to tip in. The agent returns with a frame where you can easily claim your tips.
I find this interesting for a couple of reasons. It’s a solid way for a token to bootstrap its community—what better way than people talking about it and gifting it to others? $degen has already demonstrated its success. The real challenge is figuring out how to grow the network of tippers. One opportunity I see: designing a flow where someone claiming their tips naturally becomes a tipper too.

Productclank is a product launchpad that leverages memecoin virality to drive attention and bootstrap growth for new products. Founder, Lior, insights comes from observing the successful launch of quite a few products that used Clanker to kickstart growth such as Native and Clankfun. As a builder you can sign up on Productclank, it will create a custodial wallet for you, and launch a token (using Clanker) on Base. I'm guessing on the backend the platform will expose the product to its community and help founders get visibility.
Lior dogfooded his own product and launched Productclank on Productclank a week back. Their token currently has about 2000 odd holders.
At this point, we have hundreds of thousands of tokens launched everyday. There is a certain level of fatigue that is setting in. Launching a token let alone a product with token successfully is much harder now than it was a couple of months back. This is where I see the opportunity and where Productclank can add value. If you're a builder looking for launch support, check out Productclank—the Product Hunt web3 needs.
I found commit very very cool. It is an onchain accountability protocol. You create a commit which is as the term means you commit to do something by a certain period. There is a commit window where other people can join you in this commit. You will need to stake a certain amount of tokens specified by the creator of the commit. People or communities can add a reward pool. Once you are past the deadline, the staked amount and the rewards are distributed to the people who completed the commit successfully. The ones who didn't complete the commit lose their staked amount.
One aspect that was unclear to me was how is it determined who completed the commit. My guess is it is either the commit creator or the community of participants.
Rev has been building commit for a few months now. I find his posts on building insightful. So, give him a follow if you want. And maybe while you are at it make your first commit too.
We shipped Clanker Ranker this week! 🚀 A simple, fun frame that shows the Clanker tokens you hold, plus some cool stats. Tokens thrive because people hold and believe in them. So we built something fun to check out, share, and flex your biggest conviction plays.
