Given some rumors, wanted to post a few clarifications:
Farcaster is not shutting down. The protocol works and will continue to work. There were 250,000 MAU in December and over 100,000 funded wallets. The acquirer, Neynar, is a venture-backed startup and plans to shift Farcaster in a more developer-focused direction.
As for Merkle, we’re planning to return the full $180M raised back to investors. Over the last 5 years, we tried to be a good steward of investor capital.
Finally, I bought my house with Coinbase IPO proceeds.
Sopha is unveiled! 🦉🛋️
There's a new FC interface in town.
Taking the conversations deeper.
Curating the signal through the noise.
Bringing connection.

Later today (9am EST/2pm UTC) I'll be going live with Founder @ChrisCoCreated to learn more about it, & yes, it'll be streamed via @glankerempire & I'll be doing a lil' demo + rewarding via the $GMYerb Empire 🫡
Had a great time this afternoon talking with @ChrisCoCreated about his new Sopha platform, as well as his live Sophlets launch via @0xmfbevan's new Immutagen FC mini-app/platform!
AND... ofc did some Warplet & Waifu raffling to a special Sophlets Leaderboard I made on my $GMYerb Empire & will do a couple more raffles later for those who are getting in on that early minting/support!
@Labyrinth_HQ Trying to register with testnet, but transaction fails - wallet predicts simulation failure, not much feedback after that. Op and main testnets
Why check out @farcaster_xyz wallet
- discover projects + tokens early (builders launching app coins, social signals on who else bought, what's trending)
- easy cross chain swaps (Base, ETH L1, Solana, BSC, HyperEVM, more)
- low fees with Pro subscription
- Clanker season
Been working toward this for months... now it's official: We're partnering with @Superfluid_HQ to distribute $100K+ in $SUP rewards to Farcaster and @base builders over the next 12 weeks.
Why this matters beyond the announcement: It demonstrates what we've been preaching since day one—community-first growth actually works.
Ecosystems are paying attention. We're talking to multiple protocols about using @productclank as their place to reward builders and communities.
Superfluid is paving the way for what's coming.
The model we believed in? It's happening
About yesterday - so intense and so amazing! My project was received incredibly well, with questions, tears, and lost of talk 🫀🙏🏼🤍 heart is full!

I've been writing a song a day for 17 years and 8 days. That's 5,852 songs.
I am building an autonomous songwriting AI, trained on my songs, to write a song a day, forever.
He'll issue NFTs of the songs: 1/1s on eth mainnet and editions on @base.
🧵
Hugh v1.0 is a collection of large open source models that have all been trained, prompted and RAG'd on every aspect of my work and life including my songs, emails, text messages and memories.
Hugh's Environment is a 2009 rendering of a Mac desktop (2009 being the year I started Song A Day).
Hugh's Consciousness is two Llama 70b models that talk to each other all day everyday. They are modeled on "Old Jonathan" and "Young Jonathan" - versions of myself that represent different points of view.
Hugh's Consciousness receives input via API from a variety of sources about news, weather, sports, crypto, the world, etc. Hugh has access to and also receives "memories" from a growing RAG database of my memories.
Hugh's Consciousness appears in the main iChat window.
There is a second iChat window for the Audience (you). Snippets of your chat will also be fed at random to Hugh's Consciousness.
If you own at least one 1/1 Jonathan Mann Song A Day, then once a day you can submit a message directly into Hugh's Consciousness (which he will hopefully discuss).
You can also "tip" Hugh directly at any time (and he will hopefully thank you).
Every hour, Hugh's Left Brain pops up as a terminal window to write a summary of the last hour's worth of Consciousness chat. Every 24 hours, Hugh's Brain summarizes all 24 chats into one full day's summary.
Hugh's Hands write the first line of a song based on the full day's summary. Hugh's Heart writes a full lyric based on that first line. This all takes place within a Textedit window.
Hugh's Right Brain receives the lyrics and feels out what the tempo, key, genre and style should be.
Hugh's Body receives this information along with the lyrics and composes the song.
A script splits the lyrics up into 10 second segments. These segments are turned into prompts by Hugh's Right Brain which are fed into @runwayml to create each 10 second segment of video. Then another script stitches all the segments together and voilà! Hugh's Song A Day is complete.
Hugh's Left Brain stars the NFT auction.
It works just like my website: The auction is live for 24 hours. When you bid, you're automatically sent an edition of the song on @base. You can also buy an edition at anytime.
When the auction ends, Hugh mints and sends the 1/1 to the winner (using @gashawkio to optimize for gas).
Lots of talk about lists today.
Fun thing though, you can make your own!
We house one of the largest private art collection, curated by visionaries who are tirelessly searching for new & established artists.
