Most NFTs chase attention.@protardio
Protardio Citizens stayed small, weird, and Farcaster-native.
Sometimes the signal isn’t scale it’s who actually cares.
protardio is a collection of 10,000 farcaster-themed remilia subculturae
we have divided the collection into two phases of 5000 pieces each, all minted from the same contract.
Phase 1 represents the free mint phase where first 5000 were minted to farcaster natives through only one frontend; the protardio mini app.
Phase 2 represents the paid mint phase where the second 5000 will be minted.
each PHASE is divided into TIERS to allow communities and individuals with various levels of contributions participate in either guaranteed or FCFS.

BASED TAKE 🟦
- never saw an app launched as social media app and successfully migrated to crypto / web3
- to be received by the larger community, you need start at the roots not at the top of the tree.
- @jessepollak you are doing it wrong.
- or if your goal is to make social media apps for crypto users, because we lack social sense and are almost always in isolation trading coins - well you succeeded (partially)
FYI: this not a sh*t post. The is most BASED feedback you’ll receive.
yesterday we pushed out yet another experiment on @farcaster_xyz.
this time featuring @syynstudios, @toady_hawk and @betrmint, we rolled out the neon carpet and made the world a better place by increasing addiction to spins.
we had a special crossover open edition for every spinnoooor and a 1/1 BETRTARDIO for a single winner.
The result: 1,698 SPINS and OPEN EDITIONS minted in 1 hour.
more details coming out soon.
we're just getting the party started.
To fully address what happened yesterday, we will be releasing a complete post-mortem detailing everything the team and our partners uncovered regarding the set of unfortunate events that unfolded prior to the $PLAY launch. We will also outline a clear course of action to ensure we remain on track and that our community can rest assured we are here for a long, continuous journey.
We also want to touch on the 24 wallets identified as the root cause of this issue. These wallets were able to bypass the Metaplex Web2 logic used to block users from claiming $PLAY prior to 12.30pm UTC, and are in no way, shape, or form connected to us or anyone associated with Play Solana. A full breakdown of our findings will be included in the post-mortem report.
These wallets managed to initiate trading activity before launch. While our team was on a call with our Liquidity Managers, we noticed unexpected price movements that immediately raised concern - especially considering no tokens should have been available for trading.
We reached out to all exchanges and liquidity providers to check for leaks. None were found. All partners confirmed they were simply waiting for our greenlight to initiate trading.
We proceeded to inject liquidity into the pre-launched Raydium pool. Shortly after, we confirmed the root cause was linked to a Metaplex PDA.
Once $PLAY claims opened, pre-sale buyers understandably reacted to the price action, and a cascade began.
The damage was already done.
This was an irreversible blow. Our community, our supporters, and the broader ecosystem rightfully saw this for what it was: a failure. This deeply affects us - our brand, our growth, and the long-term alignment we’ve been building around our products and the future of Play Solana.
We want to be clear: we are not putting our hands down. But we also want you to understand the level of sacrifice, the long hours, and the absolute commitment the team has poured into every detail for months - software, hardware, and community. What we’ve been through is immeasurable.
Now, regarding the 30% cut:
This is where we failed to communicate properly, and we want to sincerely apologize. We understand the frustration. The intention wasn’t to hurt the community but to reward long-term supporters by allocating the full 30% directly into the staking reward pools. For transparency, this 30% will be used to strengthen staking rewards for those supporting $PLAY and Play Solana long-term.
The team keeps zero.
Since the beginning, our mission has been to reward those who are here for the long run - the people who believed in us before anyone else. We are fully focused on the turnaround plan and are working closely with all partners to secure the best possible outcome for Play Solana and our Community. No one is more frustrated than the team behind this project.
We want to take this moment to thank everyone supporting us, in particular our most loyal <Players>. You are the true heroes of this journey.
More details soon.
