this week felt like watching an entire season of a show in one sitting. farcaster plotlines, platform drama, protocol drops, and enough confusion to keep the group chats alive. so here’s what you missed while degen was lighting itself on fire.

farcaster launched a bug bounty program where you can get paid up to 25k if you find and fix a bug. so if you’ve been rage-clicking your client and thinking "this shouldn't be happening," you might be a front-end security engineer now.

also, hamdi joined the team. he’s built at x and optimism before. pretty stacked resume. let’s see what he cooks.

super is now open source. one of the best farcaster clients ever. if you go to super.sc now, it literally redirects to farcaster. woj you were him. thanks for the memories and the smooth UI.

qrcoin got hacked. someone abused their notification feature. but the qr team patched it quickly and reimbursed everyone. farcaster also said they’re scanning transactions now to stop those "send us all your money" scam txs. also, fun fact, faircaster just invested in qr. plot armor?

flaunch v2 is coming soon. it’s still one of the easiest ways to launch a coin onchain. let’s see what's going to happen.

degen is in full burn mode. vaults going to be opened, airdrop done for july and final airdrop will happen in august, tokens getting deleted based on social engagement. if you’re confused about what this is solving, you’re not alone. a lot of long-time holders are asking the same thing. vibes are weird, direction unclear.

bobby from propaganda teased some new mini apps. no details yet. but if it drops, people will click.

limone.eth is spearheading the crowdfund for farcon 2026. it’s gonna happen in rome. over 17k has already been raised. if you donate 100 dollars or more, you get a ticket. plus part of the sales go back to purple dao.

base is back in motion too.

• basecamp is returning this september 14 to 16 in vermont. applications are open now.

• a read-only version of tba is coming to desktop and web.

• and coinbase’s protocol security team is doing security reviews for apps and protocols on base. this part’s still in beta, but very cool.

bankr is now available to all coinbase users. sdk is live too. but here comes the drama. some tesla guys on x called drb (@wholemarscatalog ehem) a scam. and now everyone’s talking about it. the barbra streisand effect in action.

terminal started season 1. top traders will get 3 percent of the token supply over the next 60 days. if you needed a reason to start trading again, there you go.

ethereum turned 10 this week. zero downtime the entire decade. say what you want, but that’s kind of insane.

zora creator coins seemed a bit slower this week.

market dipped slightly, but surprisingly, vibes are still high.

that’s it. another week in the corner of the farcaster. see you next week.
