Before we get into the updates… As you may or may not know, TWiF is also a livestream series and podcast. The first three episodes are on Spotify and YouTube — soon Pods as well (Relevant: "Spinning up an onchain brand.")

Most recently: Samuel Huber joined to discuss $100k Counter-Strike skins, whether crypto can get a piece of that action, and European vs. American mindsets. Plus the global fertility decline. Look, we covered a lot of ground, which is appropriate when you're linking up across an ocean.

Next livestream: Linda from Bountycaster on February 20 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / bring-your-own-timezone. RSVP to join live!

Next on the podcast:

• Salvino of Yapster talks to Abram and Will about whether "minimum viable product" is a valid concept, Solana vs. EVM, and cramming maximum adrenaline into 15 minutes. You can already listen to the replay on X (the action starts about 6 minutes in).

• Kenny from poidh (pics or it didn't happen 😏) on bragging rights as a service, how he used to be a rockstar, and the early days of Farcaster. Catch the replay on Streamm. Also, here's a beginner's guide to poidh.

Alright, what happened this week?

Multiple rounds of congratulations are in order 🎊

First: "the Base team is building a Farcaster feed into Coinbase Wallet!" Awesome, more distribution for everybody. Why it matters:

Coinbase Wallet's large existing userbase can easily use frames and complete onchain transactions with their embedded wallet. Ship a frame and immediately go live in multiple apps.

Next, Super(cast) has been acquired by Merkle and @woj.eth is joining the team to focus on user growth.

Is that all? Nope, @ted has also been hired to "help grow a community that’s meant so much to me for so long." 🥹

And the Snapchain testnet is live.

@dwr.eth went on GM Farcaster to discuss these momentous developments.

Meanwhile, @luc made a Dune dashboard of the Warpcast Rewards leaderboard.

Just Frame It is "a 2 months build sprint to reframe the future of social feeds." Apply to the buildathon.

Tina He used OnchainKit to create a template for frames v2 mini apps, available on Replit and GitHub.

"Frameception" has evolved; now you can create a frame by simply tagging @maschine. Here's an example from @chaim.eth.

Index investing in a frame: "Simply quote @basketdotfarm, mention the tokens you want to include, and specify the % of each token in your Basket." Demo.

Use Nfeed (think "in-feed") to share music via frame.

"Live sports markets are now onchain!" @db reviews and explains Bracket.

The $SOCIAL project launched an in-frame live chatroom. Neat! (There's another asset involved called Pixiedust / $PDUST, the intended purpose of which is somewhat complex.)

Surprising that it took this long to get an in-frame slot machine.

@keccers.eth describes making a frame for NASA's Astronomy Photo of the Day.

@proxystudio.eth shared "two exciting launches":

@clanktank by @flex, an agentic shark tank with clanker. agent is in theory self-sustaining: earns fees from $TANK, and when they 'like' or 'love' an idea they deploy it and buy 10% or 20%. utility too, pretty elegant concept and execution

@productclank by @lior, product hunt with clankers. bootstrap & get attention on your product. Good concept, and Lior raised $100k on Party to fund development which is pretty significant

OpenRank Clanker Scores have been upgraded with two more APIs.

@deployer has new plans for the Ham project ($TN100x) in light of the success of Bankr ($BNKR), hinging on both staking and bridging. Definitely read the thread if you hold either asset.

Also:

We are going to put the current version of Bankr on Warpcast in maintenance mode while we migrate to the latest version here.

If you added your X account to the waitlist you now can access the private terminal at www.bankr.bot and interact with Bankr on X.

@derek debuted a new frame for $NATIVE that "includes announcements, notifications, and swaps," especially swaps. It's open-source, built by @nonomnouns.

Also: "Passports v2 is coming and is being built as a full app."

(Should this section be called "Extra goodies" or something? "Miscellaneous" has no panache.)

XMTP testnet launched.

"You can now turn any idea into a crypto-enabled app in minutes thanks to Ohara, complete with @privy embedded wallets, Apple Pay funding, and more."

Apply to attend FarCon NYC.

Sablier adds instant airdrops.

Serotonin head of product @michael dissected Clanker competitor Flaunch.

Solana meme-trading app Yoyo integrated Farcaster.

@macedo: "$BUILD is now a fully decentralized token of appreciation. No treasury, no gatekeepers, 100% community-owned."

Tap.computer, also /tap, is a "grok/perplexity for farcaster tool" by @dylsteck.eth.

The fourth edition of the Ethereum Investors Club magazine dropped — free to read online, or subscribe to the print edition.

Paragraph redesign. Very nice!

@ilemi is "excited to announce I've started /herd to build the next-generation explorer that we all have really wanted (and needed)." Lol: "It's time to smarten up crypto agents and humans by dumbing down smart contracts."

Amen, may we all left-curve it

What caught your eye this week? Hit reply and let me know.

Cheers,
Sonya
