If you're planning to TGE for something you're working on, this is honestly the best way to seed genuine high quality early adopters vs predatory snipers and establish a really solid first cohort of users of your product too
"50% of AutoBoy users posted about $QUOTIENT before the launch, tripling @QuotientHQ's social reach ahead of TGE."
DMs open if you want to use AutoBoy as a tool in your TGE toolkit.
50% of AutoBoy users posted about $QUOTIENT before the launch, tripling @QuotientHQ's social reach ahead of TGE.
Those same users lined up buy orders that auto-bought the moment the token went live.

Pre-Farcaster I was an anonymous computer operator: an early engineer at Pancake Swap (circa ’21) that went on to be part of the founding team at LooksRare (remember that?).
Farcaster kickstarted a personal network I’d never had in crypto. It took us to Buenos Aires (Base Batches 2) and Rome (Farcon 26). @floar_eth - sorry, 'FD Hartmann' - just joined the team full-time: we met a couple months ago at Farcon.
Farcaster was a massive part of The Firm’s first chapter. The first thing we released was an Employee PDA ‘miniapp’ that allowed you to enrol at our prestigious enterprise. Farcaster’s social graph was so sticky and its community so active - that Dan & Varun enrolled (along with 1000s more) before any of our channels even shared a link.
It was a unique incubator for Base’s early builder funnel and builder network. Sooo many projects & builders (past and present) got their start there. Farcaster provided an engaged, thoughtful audience for your product at an early stage. It put you so close to your users. Feedback loops were fast. The wallet meaningfully improved crypto UX. You could build on the social graph cheaply. It was a distribution channel to quality users in an era where distribution is the biggest challenge.
Like ~half of the Base Batches 2 finalists mentioned Farcaster and their miniapp rank in their demo day pitch.
Base & Jesse are making clear efforts to strengthen its builder support again, but for _months_ there - the decline of Farcaster (and Base’s retreat from it) left Base as ‘the network for builders’ with no builder network.
A lot of us owe a lot to that protocol. Long live Farcaster.
update on @farcaster_xyz, @clanker_world and @neynarxyz
we’ve started a process to look for a new home / team to run the products going forward.
earlier this year, this seemed to be a good fit for our team: it was a developer-first network, and we'd been serving developers from the start. There’s been a lot of change since then and we’re not the right fit for what’s needed next.
talking to a few teams we think could be a good fit for running decentralized social apps and related developer products. If you’ve thoughts / are interested, reach out.
our company will return its balance sheet (most of it remains) and team members will move on to something new.
this is not a decision we made lightly. I’m optimistic that with this next iteration, Farcaster will find its long term fit.
it’s loved enough that it’s unlikely to simply perish - thanks to all of you, and lindy-ness.
only project I've angel invested in post-leaving Clanker
cracked founder with a unique skillset that you just dont really see that often around this god foresaken industry
will remain giga long via equity & token ofc

Low fee take of https://t.co/3mMDCUFjQy is a genuinely interesting dynamic - much better for traders, but less $ to creators.
My instinct is it makes sense for memecoins but would real startups launch there?
Fees aren't a moat & never have been. They inevitably trend down as the market demands it (see NFT marketplace wars c. 2022).
Distribution, brand affiliation & network remain the moat. Will @Uniswap help amplify the real projects and builders that choose @TradePools?
Let's see. I'm still betting on @bankrbot.
AutoBoy is designed to fit into your existing launch plans and supports any launchpad on Robinhood & Base. "Enter my DMs" if you’re a project interested in using it as a tool in your TGE.
We’re sharing numbers on AutoBoy’s order execution and social amplification for @QuotientHQ’s TGE. As well as what we’re going to improve on next time.
If we’re missing things you think are obvious - please let us know.
