$clanker
/clankers returned to $50-60m range and can be a great entry


$proxy

/proxystudio the force behind clanker and many other things prior, one of the most influential people on farcaster and base pushing for better products, meeting insane amounts of builders and helping as many as he can, currently working on a big release moving into a DAO and likely some tooling around it


$henlo

/henlokart been teasing coming release and seen great growth in NFT value and also token shows strength ready to push higher, currently sitting not far from ATH and every dip gets picked up very quickly, group chats are very active as well, ciniz went on to marketing and shilling again, which no one did better last year and especially delivered on it


$clankfun

/clankfun likely going to be the main discovery site for the clanker eco


$native

/nativefun one of the most promising ai projects coming out from farcaster and base

$degenos

another promising ai project that I don't know many details about yet


$bleu

/bleu is onto many great things beyond memes, some of them are yet to get seen


$gm

/basedigger is a simple but well executed game alike stokefire or frenpet with dedicated and consistent folks at the wheel (+token saw a dip today)


$copy?

/interface been teasing web UI for a while now and copy trading has not reached it's peak yet this cycle, I'm sure more is cooking as you're reading this


$refi

/rebase built reliable staking contracts and just released a major update to crowdfund or just permissionlessly deploy staking incentives, refi token gets you ability to stake into earning from all coming crowdfund incentives


$veil

/veil pushing privacy tech on base, after such a successful launch there's not much that can't be done, we will see a lot of updates and I'm confident it can be #1 privacy tech project on base of the year


$morpho

/morpho probably the most based staking protocol aggregator, great rates and the token been consistently going higher


$spinach

/spinach released and backed by mfers it experiences steady growth, has lots of content to reproduce and still only at $2M mcap


$swords

/swords took farcaster by storm going into 2025, calmed down for now but you never know if you're prepared for what's coming next


$fire

/stokefire got it's volumes down lately but can easily go back up, noah been live streaming occasionally and that's what jesse been vocal about recently, game keeps on improving as well, almost 3.5% of supply burned already and keeps on burning


$dickbutt

/dickbutt 1d = 1b ofc, dipped since yesterday but has a lot of potential


$clankersub

clankersub - still low cap experiment by @downshift.eth, I think degen tips volume has to go up again for it to work meaningfully, great tech nevertheless

$ANON

anon.world is shaping up quickly, another privacy focused product that competes for the best privacy app of 2025, slokh been a super builder and seems to have found his niche but also consistently experimenting with more ideas


$anon

/super messed up with the token release getting confused with another anon, still seems to be a single and the best bet on woj and super, could be overbought though and gets sold quickly


$degen

/degentokenbase went under $0.01 again and may be a good entry, always good to accumulate a bit I think


$higher

/higher is the best memecoin brand on base of 2024 and more concrete approach, process and guidelines been teased recently, while also down right now can be a good entry to start accumulating


$bankr and some fees go into $tn100x

/ham lastly bankr been getting a lot of attention on the other app, deployer been one of the most consistent builders throughout the whole 2024, new thesis around ai agent tooling is paying off and $bankr went a lot higher and much faster than I anticipated, has a huge room for growth and the biggest features are yet to be released


$comicsans

/comic-sans 0xdesigner been the most consistent designer I know, for multiple years now and I believe the token journey is only beginning

Coming up

Unreleased yet but I'm highly anticipating a token for the /farcade and /farworld




WHAT A START OF THE YEAR WE'RE HAVING?!

THANK YOU!

KEEP BUILDING 🫡

Hope you all had an amazing week, let's scroll through mints first ↓

Degen punks

Are picking up steam on Degen L3, Friday morning I got a few from the auction (second post below) for around 600 $degen, by the evening they're selling for 1500 $degen

Number of sales exceeds 1500 already.

Pokemon card from this frame

$35 is a higher price to gamble on and I ended up getting a card worth $17

It's a bit tricky that you get the card on Polygon, a bit messy experience but it seems like you're really purchasing a real pokemon card that can be shipped to you?!

The product I've been enjoying this week - CasterBites

Here's my first review of a farcaster native product

If you're reading most of your emails like me, this is a really efficient way to stay up to date on some of the farcaster things you can otherwise miss out on.

The way it works is that it sends out an email to you daily or weekly based on your preferences

Email looks like a summary of mostly 4 references

And also some really useful stats

And, lastly, your personal stats

CasterBites is being built by @loverajoel

Alfafrens guide v1

This week I've also published a beginners guide on alfafrens growth, mechanics and first steps.

Sub to us on Alfafrens

Get early previews of the articles coming out, typically 2 days before public.

Send private feedback or high value mints you'd add.

To support what I've doing, get personal updates and more alpha.

Being early allowed me to be higher there, without much of a following on farcaster

As of this writing I'm sitting in the top 30 by top Income on alfafrens.

I've been growing on alfafrens since day 2

Currently in top 25 by income and top 50 by stake

Thought it'd be useful to share some of what I've learned so far

I've been also growing a second account of @onchainer newsletter that gives early preview of coming articles (including this one).

Just started it 2 days ago and I think it should be profitable within a week.

Links

Unofficial

Warpwatch method that's worth checking out

As of publishing of this guide

alfafrens on warpcast is past 10k followers

hundreds of people engage with their posts, activity is high and picking up still

Devs and team actually went on vacation so only were fixing critical issues, next week they're going to be back and alfafrens should pick up a lot more steam.

You're still early reading this!

Deposit

How much to deposit?

  • I think 2k $degen should do it

    • Send more if you're inpatient to cover claiming, subscription and staking actions gas costs

    • Minimal can be as low as 500 $degen

Subscribe

Main thing you need is $alfa, to get it - you need to subscribe to others

If you just arrived, I think getting subbed to @wake is a solid choice

Who to sub for?

alfafrens makes it easy, hit on Explore tab, then High $ALFA tab

my principle is to subscribe to accounts with 100+ subs already who reach the top of High $ALFA tab, that means that your $alfa returns aren't going to be slashed as quickly as if you'd sub to someone having only 1 subscriber

I'm also subbing to friends and people I know from farcaster regardless of the $alfa returns.

I also stake some $alfa into them to get more returns myself and for all other subscribers.

That will eat up more of your deposit though and you'll need to wait longer to see your number go up.

Enough theory, here are the steps to take

  1. Deposit 500-2000+ $degen

  2. Sub to channels which have the most $alfa staked into them relative to it's subscribers amount. (any with 100+ subs from top 100 "High $ALFA" tab work best)

  3. Get at least a couple subs to get the $ALFA flowing to you

  4. After 12-24h claim your first accumulated $ALFA

  5. Now stake it into your channel, that will attract subscribers

  6. New subscribers to your channel will offset some of the costs of your own subscriptions

  7. Now you can subscribe to a few more channels to increase the $ALFA flow or keep it as is

  8. Come back at least once every day to claim accumulated $ALFA

That's all it takes!

If you subscribe to 3 channels, you may only need 2-3 days of staking into your own channel to get into the positive flow.

Gas fees

alfafrens is on the Base blockchain which has been showing record activity lately and fees can spike.

To adjust for that alfafrens team is charging you your deposited $degen for actions like subbing, claiming, staking and unsubbing.

Best time to claim, stake and subscribe for me was consistently after 12AM GMT, that's when you can minimize your gas spendings.

You may need to wait a bit for the gas fees to load on the top right from the button

Invites

Alfafrens has been growing 100% from invites so far, everyone was given 5 invites in the first week after launch and another five on the second as the team is scaling up the infrastructure.

Invites were being getting claimed really quickly, some people even did giveaways for them.

Next week there will be more invites, which, at a grown number of users, going to bring even more people in, all of which will be hungry for $ALFA.

And if public release is happening anytime soon, that can become massive for the app.

Agust story

Agust is top 5 on alfafrens, he's been reckless there lol and I wanted to highlight his approach

His approach was to sub to everyone, at first I think he was close lol, now he subbed to 332 channels and staking 100% to himself.

He spent tens of thousands of $degen on fees though, but I think it paid off already and going to pay for a while...

Recommend you sub to him on warpcast and his alfafrens channel!

https://www.alfafrens.com/channel/0xdba348c9f8dcac041864cd6ed818b1c0490a32c6

https://warpcast.com/agust

Unstake

Important to note that if you decide to unstake your $alfa, this will initiate a cooldown period and lock your staking actions for the next 24 hours.

Withdrawals

Since devs were on the vacation this week, withdrawals are obviously essential and should be coming next week, follow and sub to alfafrens team members to know first - @vijay @0xfran @youssef

Final notes

Superfluid powering the streaming of $degen in alfafrens secured $5.1M funding earlier this year.

Alfafrens is the first product they've built on top of it and more is coming with the next one releasing as soon as next month?!

In any case, super bullish on these mechanics, seeing money flow like that is a concept the world haven't seen before (at least I haven't).

And I really like how it kind of forces you to think what value you can provide to people subscribing to you, continuously, while also being patient with claiming and consistent by coming in daily.

Degen is past tipping phase already, apps like alfafrens will push it much further much faster, make sure to be early on all of that by subbing to @wake, @agust, @king, me and others who spend a lot of time on farcaster and sharing.

Bonus: How to check your net income?

Estimated monthly income that you see on the homepage isn't taking into account the amount that you've subscribed to others.

But you can check it on superfluid website

Net Flow here showing the amount you're getting

go to Account -> Deposit -> Copy address to get your alfafrens address

What's also great about it is that it also shows when you're going to run out of your deposited $degen - don't let it happen because it'll cancel out all your subscriptions automatically.

Thank you!

Let me know if you liked this guide by minting it.

I'll continue revising this guide as alfafrens evolves and based on your feedback, if it catches some steam haha.

Send me any questions you have or feedback on alfafrens or warpcast.

Hope you all had an amazing week, let's scroll through ↓

What I've minted this week

These Based Opepens

Not new but I haven't minted those yet.

Open edition (forever) with a huge amount of mints and unique minters.

These BLOCK 8PEPEN

Colors of these are generated based on the tx hash.

32+ words in GAIAN language from le frame

A bunch of Farcards

Check my collection here:

Higher together from basepaint

https://opensea.io/assets/base/0xba5e05cb26b78eda3a2f8e3b3814726305dcac83/260

This collaboration from @sum and alfafrens

Muse <> Proxy

Dedicated to the launch of https://www.proxyswap.tips/ - uniswap v3 fork by proxystudio with FBI, seems like become already to be the leading DEX on Degen L3

Talent protocol NFT

There's an IRL event hosted by Talent protocol next Sunday, I've looked into the protocol and engaged with tasks there just 1 day before the closing lol, barely made it, curious what it'll turn into, seems like it has gotten a lot of attention to kick off it's further growth.

If you want to look more into it, search for Talent Protocol on Farcaster

One Gnar

Entered my first DAO from Nouns builder. Nouns got some great infrastructure and user experience in it's apps.

ASCIINON

I'm a fan of those generated series on highlight so couldn't go pass this one haha

Playpepen 6

A tool for making and remixing Opepens, in browser, as NFT

Matcha x Degen

Commemorating collaboration featured by @jacek

Alfafrens

One of the highlights of my web3 journey already. Being early to get in, earn $alfa and stake it into my channel got me to the top 1 high $alfa leaderboard initially.

What is it?

alfafrens is a new project powered by superfluid - streaming degen.

What it does?

You subscribe to people's channels and earn $alfa and get access to the private chat.

Why I think it hasn't reached the peak yet

1. alfafrens is invite only for now with new invites coming no earlier than late next week

2. servers aren't handling the load, devs expanding it constantly

3. $alfa airdrops are coming next week

4. People sharing actual alpha in the channels so it's good to browse them through and even ask questions yourself - it's very active there, even with how slow it currently works.

5. Volume going to increase by a lot when more invites get issued or when app opens to public

Thank you!

Been a hell of a week, I was able to get big volumes of design work out too, excited for the future, as always, keep on pushing.

Appreciate each one of you reading till the end.

Hope you have a wonderful week ahead! On my mind now figuring ways to reward you for engaging with what I put out.

Maksim.

Feel free to ask anything about what I've written about or biggest things I haven't seen and minted over the week, let's make it more valuable to everyone!

Here're 13 things that I minted this week

This interactive swatches mint

Rainbow + Outlands by sum collab

This Melt Into Pepe generative series

degenerating by @usersteen.eth

I've been a subscriber of steen for almost 2 months now and the way he's sharing photography have caught my eye already.

Now this purple mint is out with the highlight's release to accept degen to mint.

Now even better - official highlight commemoration mint on the feature release

Possibilities by @outcasts.eth

Another mint by sum with the launch of mint with degen

This Potion

Was free and waitlisted for Degentlemen PFP collection owners and 250 degen during public release.

Woldcoin announced new Ethereum L2 coming this summer

With a mint on zora! Only caveat that kept me from minting it is that it's on ETH L1

This unrevealed something from @traf

From creator of basedpunks that were a hit last week

These optimists by @ripe

444 pieces, 2222 $higher each, sold out quickly, floor is 5x that on secondary now.

The collection was being iterated on openly in the /higher channel for weeks before release.

It's the first PFP collection for higher also?!

This treasure hunt game piece mint

Idea here was that you have to mint 1 or 5 pieces of the image, and then only you can see the written words (pieces of the words) on those pieces you hold, no one else could see them, so you have to communicate it to others or publish a frame.

If you're here for the first time you can learn more about me and onchainer from this pilot episode on mirror.

This week and onward we've moved to Paragraph for publishing!

1. This rock from @iceberg

Second NFT in his series

Looks like he's up to something huge and is utilizing approach used by ciniz, by releasing a free mint once in a few days / a week

His first "test" NFT minted over 10k times and is selling for over 0.23 ETH

2. Only for a moment

Solar eclipse commemoration mint, I didn't catch the mint due to training, but got one on secondary still, the picture looking awesome.

Minted over 110k times.

3. Moon beam by shl0ms

The team there literally got to the field to shoot the eclipse in real time, making 720 pictures/frames and then listing them, one by one, 1 minute each, 12 hours total mint time, on their website.

This is a second project I'm living through from shl0ms and he's one of the best creators out there, quality work, every time.

Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/moonbeamproject

Degendary story

grunt.eth was so excited about the collection that he minted almost the whole set and then went on a campaign and picked up all of the missing frames getting all of the different 720 frames, mint price for one was about $20 🤯

Update: grant is actually close to securing 2 whole sets 🤯🤯 just needs 3 more frames!
Here's a dune to check if you have the missing ones to trade

https://dune.com/queries/3614336

4. Interface launching support for Degen chain

With a mint to commemorate the moment

5. Higher together

Minting just for 11 $higher a piece, this one is doubling down on us being together.

6. 001 handles - mint a figma tutorial

If you're into design, here's a fresh tutorial series launched this week by antimofm.eth, free mint on zora chain.

7. Heads will roll by James Joyce

Summarizing the week

Overall this week was a lot calmer than the previous one, there're always highs and lows, not just in crypto, personally I'm taking more time to be outside and hope you do too!

A lot of projects and tokens went down peaking on Saturday, but I'm sure next week it'll pick back up, it already started.

What's next?

I've already written down over 5 topics for separate articles to come out in the next weeks, including

  • Degen how to for beginners

  • Top farcaster people

  • Top farcaster projects and their builders

  • Hypersubs I keep minting more time on (from 31 total subbed to rn)

  • ...

    Subscribe not to miss any of it!

Thank you

Have an awesome week ahead and catch you on farcaster!
