@dpoddolphinpro @NASASpaceflight @StarbaseTX Do you think that pushes the 19th?

.@toady_hawk treats crypto like a live laboratory, and @betrmint (launched on clanker exactly one year ago today!) is his favorite experiment yet.

toady always builds culture and community before he builds product. he seeds the lore, runs the experiment, and figures out the economics after the room is already warm. before BETRMINT he was running an onchain media collective and piloting early community experiments on base. he doesn't hire a team, he attracts collaborators. @netnose, a developer from Italy, builds the thing that runs. @burrrrrberry, former poker pro and BETR Labs CFO (Chief Fun Officer) makes sure it actually always feels like a party.

together they built a neon arcade where people get paid. $1 USDC to spin, prizes up to $100, and a new onchain creator featured every day. every spin programmatically buys $BETR and supports creators, loyal players and stakers, with rewards from real app revenue not inflation, and 40% of circulating supply is currently staked.

over $80k paid to creators in year one, plus another $20k to stakers. they’ve collaborated with almost every quality project in the Farcaster/Clanker ecosystem and have remained one of the most consistently trending mini apps on Farcaster since launch.

this is what onchain experimentation looks like when it actually works. and it's only getting started. that's the kind of builder clanker was made for

[Toady Hawk @toady_hawk]

Exactly one year ago today, @netnose and I kicked off a mini app experiment, to see if a little bit of speculative serendipity could create real distribution and opportunity for builders and creators on @base.

That experiment was @betrmint, and today is our BETR Birthday!

It’s been a whirlwind of a year, to say the least.

⚡️ 203,000 spins on the neon flywheel
⚡️ 200+ rounds
⚡️ $300,000+ in total app revenue
⚡️ $80,000 paid to artists
⚡️ $25,000 paid to BETR token stakers
⚡️ $50,000 airdropped to loyal users (and more being dropped this week!)

Somewhere along the way, this stopped being an experiment and became something of a movement.

And in a space where a year is an eternity, where countless projects have come and gone, we’re still here. Still iterating. Still experimenting. Still tinkering with what it means to help creators and founders earn for their creativity onchain.

Year one had a lot of triumphs. We were honored to win the $25K top prize for Live Mini Apps during Base Onchain Summer, and to get selected for Base Batches (Startup Track), which took us all the way to Argentina in the fall.

We’ve collaborated with just about every @farcaster_xyz -native project under the sun. Shout out @darkohh and $RUNNER (perpetual first), @nazimahmed, @AzFlin, and many, many more. We are all BETR when we work together. 💪

Somehow through all of it, we’ve built what we genuinely believe is one of the strongest token communities onchain, powered by an army of BETR believers and a stalwart Chief Fun Officer @burrrrrberry who always keeps things entertaining, no matter the market.

BETRMINT isn’t just about spinning and winning. It’s about giving creators a new way to get discovered. It’s about shared upside. It’s about winning together.

To everyone who has supported us since day one… Thank you, sincerely.

That goes for all the faithful community members who have been spinning and staking and winning with us daily, as well as our S-tier ecosystem partners at @buildonbase (s/o @davidtsocy, @ZacPrater, @carlosjmelgar, @jessepollak) and Farcaster (s/o @lindaxie, @JackDishman, @rish_neynar.)

We have big plans to make Year Two even bigger and BETR than the last, as we continue to expand our userbase outside of Farcaster and turn @betrmint into the number one onchain platform for dopamine-fueled distribution and discovery.

Look out for our brand new Karma Quests portal being relaunched later this week, plus some exciting new collabs with our friends at CoinHero and others. 👀

In the meantime, we have a special anniversary “BETR BDAY BASH” NFT available to collect today (by the lovely and talented @0xaprilia), and we have also JUICED UP today’s Jackpot and Mini Jackpot odds to celebrate. 🙌

So grab a slice of cake and pull up a chair to the neon flywheel — GLHF!

Much love to all, we couldn’t imagine a BETR place to be building!
