# Clank in good health: This Week in Farcaster #4 By [This Week in Farcaster](https://paragraph.com/@weekinfarcaster) · 2025-01-31 farcaster, clanker, memecoins, socialfi --- Let's get right to it. Clankerverse ------------ Today Proxy [announced an update](https://warpcast.com/proxystudio.eth/0x358679b2) 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](https://warpcast.com/mcbain/0x07399d29) to coin creators. As it happens, Splits interviewed the ClankPad founder — [catch the full conversation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4acjYY13Zo) on our YouTube channel. Meanwhile, the /memes channel is [running an experiment](https://warpcast.com/nonlinear.eth/0x1f6ea9ec) 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](https://warpcast.com/digitized/0x1e499af4) to talk shop. "Clanker has facilitated 43k+ token launches, generating $17M+ in fees," yowza. Undoubtedly those numbers are already outdated. [Clankermon migrated](https://warpcast.com/matthewfox/0x9c4f2cbd). From what to what is not clear, but probably something on the backend. Beta users need to update their accounts. Warpcast / Merkle ----------------- At long last: "[Looking for beta testers](https://warpcast.com/v/0x1ca2f518) to help test out the new Warpcast wallet." You read that right! Warpcast Q4 Retro Grant [winners](https://warpcast.com/v/0xdce2b9d2): "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](https://warpcast.com/v/0xcd7ec3bc) on Warpcast: "You choose between the algorithmic feed or the following feed as your default." Nice. Markle is [hiring](https://warpcast.com/v/0x1a56c048) a distributed systems engineer. @dwr.eth [asked for feedback](https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x2d61273c) on the "[Why Frames](https://warpcast.notion.site/Why-Frames-18b6a6c0c101804da34bc143469883df)?" marketing page. Speaking of which… Frames ------ [Calmer](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/calmer) is an in-frame breathwork meditation. How lovely! [Base Digger](https://warpcast.com/basedigger/0x996e6a28) is a point-and-click strategy game with adorable pixel art. [Builders Garden](https://warpcast.com/limone.eth/0x3951e865), makers of [Farville](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/farville), explained their [product strategy](https://paragraph.xyz/@builders-garden/mini-apps): > 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. Degen drama ----------- 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](https://warpcast.com/jacek/0x2b356194) 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.
