Let's get right to it.
Today Proxy announced an update to Clanker's fee structure:
[...] all Clanker launches originating from Partner Interfaces are subject to the following split:
- 40% creator
- 40% interface partners
- 20% clanker
We will continue to iterate around rewards, and recently recruited particularly to improve our pool structure, optimize for app & creator reward generation, and build out Clanker v4 on Uniswap v4
ClankPad plans to pass along its increased allocation to coin creators.
As it happens, Splits interviewed the ClankPad founder — catch the full conversation on our YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, the /memes channel is running an experiment with ClankPad:
1. create a memecoin in /memes by tagging @clankpad with a name, ticker, and image
2. top cast on channel leaderboard each day is automatically launched as a token
The Clanker founders went on the Digitized podcast to talk shop. "Clanker has facilitated 43k+ token launches, generating $17M+ in fees," yowza. Undoubtedly those numbers are already outdated.
Clankermon migrated. From what to what is not clear, but probably something on the backend. Beta users need to update their accounts.
At long last: "Looking for beta testers to help test out the new Warpcast wallet." You read that right!
Warpcast Q4 Retro Grant winners: "Over 50 teams received grants for building on top of Farcaster. If you received a grant, please reply to this cast with a Github profile that is eligible to accept donations."
Change the default feed on Warpcast: "You choose between the algorithmic feed or the following feed as your default." Nice.
Markle is hiring a distributed systems engineer.
@dwr.eth asked for feedback on the "Why Frames?" marketing page. Speaking of which…
Calmer is an in-frame breathwork meditation. How lovely!
Base Digger is a point-and-click strategy game with adorable pixel art.
Builders Garden, makers of Farville, explained their product strategy:
Mini-apps are the future, and we’re planting our flag here. Why? Two reasons:
1. Easy Distribution: These apps integrate directly into platforms like Farcaster and World App, where users are already hanging out. No need to fight for attention — it’s built-in.
2. Rapid Builds: Mini-apps are lightweight and quick to build. We can go from idea to launch in record time without draining resources.
They’re also perfect for experimenting. Got a wild idea? Build a mini-app, test it out, and see what sticks.
Much as I would prefer to, can't leave this out… big topic on the feed.
In short, Degen leader @jacek handed out a wave of retroactive bans at the end of this tipping season, hoping to punish inauthentic farming behavior. Many users feel that they were unfairly targeted, since they weren't forewarned which exact behavior was verboten.
Coinbase acquired the onchain adtech firm Spindl.
Kiwi News is seeking testers for an iOS app. "if you want to follow Ethereum news, essays & products curated by our community, this should be a good way to do it."
"EthCash: the easiest way to send USDC to Farcaster handles and email addresses." Frame coming "very soon!"
Receipts has added a streaks feature.
"the beginner's guide to poidh " AKA "pics or it didn't happen," a fun onchain bounty system, from @kenny.
Yapster is hiring.
First Draft Club is hosting a Higher writing challenge in February with a prize pool of 20,000 $higher.
Solana meme-trading app Yoyo now has an Android app.
@typedarray.eth: "We built a SQL-based alternative to GraphQL, with live query support and a TanStack Query integration."
Scout Agent: "An AI telegram bot that allows you to find repos of interest in @scoutgamexyz that you can contribute to as a builder."
Base meme contest: "80M $MOCHI (~$3000) is up for grabs, and it will be split between the top 5 memes about Base!"
Did I miss anything? Hit reply and let me know.
Cheers,
