Important PSA about $mintedmerch! 🧵👇
When we launched the official @MintedMerchShop token on Clanker 34 days ago, we reserved 33% of the supply by doing a 3% dev buy + a 30% clanker vault that was locked for 30 days.

in response to ttboy here who claims degen was the only successful proceeds to come out of fc, and 0xen’s post on farcaster asking why we haven’t seen any breakout successes from the ecosystems if the talent density is so high:
Two points:
First: I would say there HAVE definitely been some breakout successes of varying sizes over the past 5 years:
from the @farcaster_xyz side:
@degentokenbase@clanker_world@bankrbot@0xDeployer@neynar@rish_neynar
donut
@zora
from the base side:
AERO
@HydrexFi@sportdotfunint
avantis
edge
@rainbowdotme
and many more I’m probably forgetting
second: I would also argue that we sometimes suffer from unicornitis in this space, where everyone has watched one to many episodes of Silicon Valley and thinks that if it’s not a billion dollar exit, it’s not a success.
The reality is that the meatspace is FULL of small to medium sized businesses that create a ton of wealth and employ half the working population in the US, and there’s no reason to believe the onchain economy won’t be similar as it matures.
There are SO many examples of small to medium sized successful onchain businesses that are flourishing in this ecosystem, even despite less than ideal market conditions. Some of them may yet blow up into something larger, but even if they don’t, they are still worth celebrating imo:
@BrackyHQ@betrmint@noicedotso@Veildotcash@MintedMerchShop@skycastletokens
$runner
@gmfarcaster@ProfWerder@nazimahmed $RIPS
@0xnobi@flaunchgg@yuraoak Surge
etc etc
bonus argument: trying to judge the @base and farcaster ecosystems for not booming rn, while the entire crypto ecosystem is extremely bearish and retail is completely MIA is a bit like trying to draw meaningful conclusions from a drug trial without a control.
Anyway, I’ve admittedly always been a glad half full kinda guy (a useful trait in this industry) so I’m sure I’m missing some nuances here. But I do think BETR days are still ahead for those bold enough to keep believing in something around here.

Some Things We’ve Learned:
💡 Tokens can be powerful positive-sum incentive tools when designed with intention and used with transparency.
💡 Community matters more than you think.
💡 Revenue-share staking is a strong alignment mechanism and token sink, even without lockups.
💡 Building with a live, liquid token (and all the macro noise that comes with it) is not for the faint of heart, but it’s worth it.
💡 There’s huge pent-up demand from founders and creators for turnkey onchain distribution on Farcaster and Base App.
With BETR Labs, @netnose, @burrrrrberry and I are now building directly on these lessons and using BETRMINT’s proven distribution engine (plus a few new experiments 👀) to inform what we’re cooking next. 👨🍳
More to come soon, but let’s just say that 2025 has been a movie and we want to make sure 2026 is going to be even BETR!
You keep on spinning, we'll keep on shipping!
