Every Friday (or around Friday) I write about the top 3 highlights of mine from Farcaster. Farcaster is a hub of crypto experiments. I have found myself trying something new every week. This is an attempt to log my experiences.
MiniMini is a dead simple way to mint an NFT on Base. You launch the app, create the project, and then mint your NFT. Literally took me 5 minutes to mint mine and then you can hit share and put it out on farcaster. The only hiccup I ran into was when I wa strying to hit the mint button and nothing happened as I had left the description field blank. I believe it's an ERC-1155 contract, uses thirdweb underneath, and you have complete ownership over the contract.

Last few years have been brutal for cryptoart space. Most platforms have either shut down or pivoted into something else. It is refreshing to see someone build for the artists on farcaster. Builder Chris is an artist and a Farcaster OG. If you don't yet, give him a follow, and do try out the mini app.
Product Clank helps builders achieve community powered growth through interesting token incentives. Lior recently launched a new feature where you can bid on a 24 hour auction for the App of the Day. The "App of the Day" gets you featured on the top of the list on Product Clank.
We got hundreds of people checking out the listing, giving shoutout, and feedback.
Lior has spent quite some time thinking deeply about collaboration, community development, and token incentives. If you are building looking to launch an app, you should definitely speak to him.
This week, @0xpuneet and I shipped The Clankline - a leaderboard for the Clanker community. Probably the most fun I have had in a while.
Every Wednesday, a new round kicks off. You earn points based on your Clanker portfolio performance. Your portfolio size matters, but not as much as you would think. Your PnL% however matters more. And to add to that, daily check-ins and bonus tasks get you extra points.
What happens at the end of the round? Well, something interesting for sure. We're cooking as we go.
We’ve been fascinated by Clanker since it launched back in November. Over the past few months, we’ve been quietly tinkering and building in the background multiple things around Clanker.
The idea for the leaderboard was sparked by two things. First, the Farcaster Rewards and the aptly named The Leaderboard. Second, a curiosity about who were the folks doing the best trading Clanker and adding value to the ecosystem.
We thought building a leaderboard would be simple. Turns out, ranking people fairly is harder than it looks. You are constantly trying to figure how to quantify something fuzzy and the trade-offs to make. This deserves a complete post of its own and something I'm planning to do soon.
Do check out The Clankline. Hundreds of people have. Find out how strong is your clank...
