Podcasts about farcaster

In this clip from Official Channels Day, Dan Romero, co-founder of Farcaster, shares the untold story of how channels evolved from a simple hashtag replacement into the foundation for onchain community. He breaks down: - Why channels are more than just a feature — they're a primitive - How creators are becoming entrepreneurs by running channels - The challenges of scaling moderation and UX for both power users and newcomers - Why decentralization doesn't always mean “onchain” — yet - What the future of channels could look like with AI, protocols, and third-party apps If you're a creator, builder, or curious about the future of decentralized social, this is a must-watch.

This week on Expansion, Nick, Uma and Mike explore the evolving crypto media landscape, from the decline of crypto Twitter to the rise of decentralized social platforms like Farcaster. They unpack major themes including AI privacy risks, the potential of verifiable apps, and the implications of a recent SUI exploit. They debate the spectrum of decentralization, institutional adoption, and why speculation still drives most blockchain activity. Plus, they critique Loudio's attention farming and revisit whether ideas like FriendTech deserve a second life. – Ledger, the global leader in digital asset security, proudly sponsors Expansion!

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew and Rizzle reflect on last week's WIP Meetup, where Bay Backner curated a tour of DCL's Metaverse Fashion Week and mused on potential monetization approaches that may be behind this year's absolutely stacked in-world event calendar (which Bay, Kim, and their entire team are responsible for). We love you and everything you do Bay!From there, the conversation shifts to Rizzle's increasing appreciation for the explosion of mini-apps on Farcaster including a preview of a new app by Matthew & Cameron called Tipnearn.com, a simple app that lets folks tip specific tokenized projects and earn trading fees automagically.Support MARS by minting ⁠⁠a free edition of this episode⁠⁠ at Pods.Media.Shout-outs & Shots-fired:@baybackner @decentraland @metamask @AnneZanneSilver @matchzimmerman @makeanft @roblox @nifty_island @hyperfy_io @supahmarbler @ashconnell @kompreni @trislit @henrydfrog @warpcast_ @rebaserefi @qrcoindotfun @0FJAKE @dragonateyt @conniedigital @dlrowiam @forceshidden @WakaFlocka @jarule @terrycrews @linkedin @nfcsummit @atbarbaralove @buildtree_io @jasondesimone @johnkarp @JoelKruger @cent @paradoxx_arts @nineoverzero @dragonatesmom

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew and Rizzle kick off the show by recapping OONA's appearance on last Thursday's (3/27) WIP Meetup.Next Matthew & Rizzle get into an unplanned praise fest for the purple app aka Farcaster. A recent article published in Wired covering Crypto The Game and mini apps like Farcade are two examples among many more that are resulting in an explosion of reasons for folks in the crypto space to come together throughout their days on the purple app. The analytics reinforce this take.The Ghiblification phenomena that took over every timeline for a few days last week is discussed next. Matthew highlights the potential business opportunities that may arise at the intersection of Crypto x AI. He draws potential historical parallels using the left-field example of Hallmark's origin story based on an earlier post that occurred at a time when technological advances in photography, mass-printing, and global shipping all converged at once - forces that mirror what is happening with crypto, ai, and the internet.p.s. Shout out to Brookhawk for being an incredible human being and feeding Matthew's Farcade habit by sending him tickets regularly (before they were eliminated from the game lmao).Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @madebyoona @paradoxx_arts @dragonateyt @voxeliving @cryptovoxels @co1born @metageistvr @mattkaneartist @decentraland @baybackner @nfcsummit @belloneleandro @itsreallysho @solana @base @warpcast_ @farcaster_xyz @WIRED @tednotlasso @uniswap @cent @farcade_ai @metabrookhawk @bryanbrinkman @friendtech @GhibliUSA @dwr @hallmark

To build a successful product in this fast moving industry, there's no fast track but stay on the table and keep grinding. Shownotes:You guys have been dominating mindshare amongst all the crypto native folks lately. So first of all congratulations! But still would love to hear how you introduce yourself to our audience. There were quite many platforms that empower developers to launch agents. What key factors do you think led you to where you guys are today?Do you think the diversity of the agents came from the no-code requirement?What are some of the agents that grew from Virtuals that left people an impression? Also about Multimodality. What are the best performing categories for agents developed with GAME?How do you decide whether you're going to co-marketing with one of the ecosystem agents?I read on Messari that you guys have integrated Farcaster, but I haven't seen a lot of news that you guys are pushing on that front. Any plans? I was particularly interested to hear your answer on this one, because looks like with a web3 native social network, an agent developed under GAME framework will be capable of doing a lot more

We start the new year with part three of The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons from 1997. We return with...exposition! In a very long scene on the popesteroid, Pope Hoyt brings in Councilor Albedo to explain to the various church leaders that Aenea is carrying a literal engineered virus that will spread through humanity, kill off the cruciforms, and then evolve humans into the Ousters. This is apparently a bad thing? So to combat that, they have been putting billions of people without cruciforms in stasis and stashing them in the labyrinth worlds in a plan that the TechnoCore promises totally isn't evil, swearsies. Anyway, remember all that stuff about the three warring factions in the TechnoCore? Yeah, apparently that's not really the case so just forget all that. This revelation just about breaks Fillip's spirit. Meanwhile, Raul spends an interminable amount of time floating through the atmosphere of a gas giant in his kayak looking at clouds. Eventually, he's eaten by a giant cuttlefish thing, but then we just join up with Raul after the cuttlefish flings him through the next Farcaster to end up back with the Consul's ship. The fact that we spend no time with Raul in the cuttlefish is the most baffling thing since the fact those things on that ice planet were called "wraiths". Anyway, Raul and the ship head off to find Aenea, but conveniently, meeting her will incur a five-year time debt, so she'll be an adult by the time Raul arrives. Those noises you here are Danielle gagging at the thought, and frankly, we're all on her side. So we enter part two of the book on a real downer, will Raul and Aenea finally meet up? Will it be as creepy as we fear? Probably! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us on this thrilling journey!

This week's guests:On this week's Just DAO It, we welcome guests Travis and Sam from DAOHaus, a no-code DAO launchpad built using the Moloch V3 governance toolkit. Beyond working together on DAOHaus, they've also helped build or contribute to: Yeeter, Bootleggers, Raid Guild, Meta Cartel, and RaidBrood, among other projects. Most recently, they've been experimenting at the intersection of DAOs and Farcaster, a sufficiently decentralized social network. Their current project is called Farcastles, and they've received a grant from the Octant Accelerator to continue developing it.

Farcaster-based social media app Anoncast has quickly grabbed the crypto community's attention—especially after Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin jumped in.  The platform allows users to speak freely while ensuring no one—not even the platform itself—can trace their identity. And in its short week-and-a-half lifespan, it's already generated thousands of posts.  In this lighter, Black Friday edition of Unchained, developer Kartik Patel joins to discuss how Anoncast works and why the platform has taken off so quickly. He shares insights on the challenges of maintaining anonymity in a connected world, how AI intersects with these developments, and what it was like to “nerd-snipe” Buterin. Show highlights: What sparked the rise of Anon and how it evolved into a ZK-powered anonymous posting platform Kartik's favorite casts and what he likes about the platform Why the platform has evolved so quickly  How users can make casts How Anoncast completely protects the anonymity of all posters Kartik's background in crypto and how he came to be involved in Anoncast Why it felt like a “dream” when Vitalik Buterin bought the ANON memecoin How AI is intersecting with this new era of social media Why Anoncast moderates the posts The new feature that was designed to give credit back to users Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!
