I spent the last few days in Delhi. ETHGlobal was happening over the weekend. A couple of days before my flight, Puneet floated the idea of doing a Clanker meetup.

We’ve been building around the Clanker ecosystem since it launched, and it’s safe to say we’re big fans of the product and the team. We reached out to Dish, and he was immediately excited. From idea to event, we pulled it off in a week. Dish even agreed to do a talk and shared his journey building Clanker. Oh! He even wore a Kurta to the talk :)

Jordan presented Empire Builder and walked through how builders can use it to not just launch a Clanker token but also grow a community around it. We added a fun twist. Jordan pitched his product live to Divyansh, the builder behind the popular gaming mini app recessdotfun.

Divyansh shared his experience building recess, and how launching with Clanker helped them gain traction and liquidity.

Its been a while since I last organized an IRL event. There were a few last minute hiccups but overall it was super fun. I do hope to see more Clanker World Meetups to happen all over the world especially considering we have such a thriving builders community around Clanker.

gmtribe is your farcaster agent that helps you reward your users to help you go viral. You can summon gmtribe to set up a reward to recast your product announcement, to give your new account a follow, or/and do an onchain action on your mini app. The way it works is you tag gmtribe and share your instructions on the farcaster feed. The gmtribe bot replies to your prompt with a miniapp where you can lock your rewards. The bot will disburse the rewards based upon your criteria plus inform the folks who got rewarded.

gmtribe differentiates itself from other similar apps by its focus on rewarding high quality users and building a genuinely engaged community. If you are a farcaster builder, you should have a chat with Rohit.

Mitsukeru is your own Jarvis that protects you from malicious scams, social engineering, and bad contracts. Founder, Colin did a very interesting thing and made a public raise.

Puneet and I pooled in to be part of this. NFA. DYOR. But here’s why we found it compelling:

1. Big, painful problem. Crypto security is one of the most important and underbuilt areas. Billions are lost to scams and hacks every year. That alone tells you how big this market already is and how much bigger it’s going to get.

2. Builder with depth. @bytebot is the kind of person you bet on. Deep open source and tech background, thoughtful about the space, and building with real urgency. If you haven’t spoken to him yet, fix that.

3. Community-first raise. The structure of the raise itself is interesting—starting with a community round on Farcaster. It's rare, it's transparent, and we’re curious to see how it plays out.

Everything in crypto is high risk. You might as well bet on the right people. We’re glad to be part of this in a small way.

Puneet and I are working on the next big iteration of the clankline. Was a bit slowed down by travel and all. But hopefully will get to announce it soon.
