Here is the big one. Base says it is beginning to explore a network token, and in crypto “exploring” usually means the train has left the station even if no timetable is posted. If Coinbase the company has $COIN, there is a tidy symmetry to Base the network eventually having $BASE. Call it the “coin everything” ethos meeting first principles: if you believe tokens are native to the internet and align networks, then the network that onboards the next wave should probably eat its own cooking.

Good morning Farcaster! Weekend’s over and the feeds did not sleep. Here is a fast catch‑up for Monday.

Good morning Farcaster! Weekend’s over and the feeds did not sleep. Here is a fast catch‑up for Monday.

Good morning, Farcaster. New week, new catalysts. The FOMC meets this week to decide on interest rates, which matters for crypto because easier policy lowers funding costs, lifts risk appetite, and can push more liquidity on chain. Many of you are also at Basecamp in Vermont, so watch for surprise launches.

Big day. The Fed is poised to announce a rate cut (or not, but I think they will), and markets can snap either direction on the headline and press conference. Either way, it is a good moment to zoom out. We have been deep in the Farcaster bubble, so today I am widening the lens and will start tracking a few things beyond our usual loop. Let us see what is shipping, what is raising, and what is worth testing.

As if the week could not get any weirder, it did. The broader crypto market is up, but CPI prints today as this drops, which likely swings rate‑cut odds for next week. Translation: we either go up or we go down, fast. Farcaster has been a bit quiet, but here is what moved.

GM and happy 9.9. The crypto world was briefly rattled by an NPM (Node Package Manager) hack disclosed yesterday that allegedly touched a large number of wallets. Many major projects and wallets say they are unaffected, but it is still a good moment to check operational security: review recent approvals, revoke anything suspicious, and avoid signing unknown prompts.

GM and happy Friday. Touch some grass this weekend. Markets are still choppy heading into the September FOMC; Polymarket odds for a rate cut remain above 80 percent. I still feel good about the market but I am being extra cautious and not trading much. HODL well, size risk, and you will be fine in the long run.

The Fed cut 25 bps, and the market mostly had it priced in. My read: we probably drift higher into early next week as the dust settles, but position sizing still matters. It has been quieter on Farcaster with everyone flying back from Basecamp, yet Crypto Twitter lit up with two big launches: Syndicate and Aster. Syndicate became the first token to debut on Aerodrome’s launchpad, which is a huge statement for Base. Aster launches its token and is positioning itself as a Hyperliquid rival on B...

What is good. Yesterday felt like a fever dream with Apple unveiling the iPhone 17. Wild that the base model now starts at 256 GB — feels like only yesterday we were juggling a 32 GB iPhone 5. Elsewhere, the revised U.S. jobs data landed ugly with nearly a million fewer jobs than first reported. Polymarket odds now price a September cut at roughly 83% for 25 bps and 14% for 50 bps. Robinhood previewed a new social platform for early next year, and X open‑sourced its algorithm.
