GM Farcaster last week: CEF launch with Rish

GM! What a week! On Monday we welcomed @rish back to GM Farcaster to chat about all the new things plus the Clanker Ecosystem Fund where he announced that we, GM Farcaster, will be the stewards of the Clanker Ecosystem Fund! We are so excited to jump in an assist in funding the amazing builders of the Clanker and Farcaster ecosystem!

The Fund is just now building back up with fees now that Neynar's FC acquisition is finalized. We'll have our first grantees at the end of this month. We are meeting with some of the long-term Clanker builders now. More info to come!

We also had @awrsla.base.eth from GRAMPUS on this week and we dove into the CHEF Universe. Plus we chatted about the upcoming fork and token. Check out the episodes below if you missed them.

I will try to keep this newsletter succinct - but have you tried Word-a-Day yet? Adrienne keeps adding to the fun, including now through FarCon learn the Italian translation of the word-of-the-day! Give it a try!

From our ChatGPT Intern: Audio chaos, a surprise pig cameo, and Snapathon mania set the stage before Rish drops the real alpha: Clanker revenue is now funding builders directly through a new ecosystem fund managed by GM Farcaster! Meanwhile, snaps explode across the timeline—from trivia to fortune cookies to full-on games—proving “software as a medium of expression” might actually be Farcaster’s next big unlock.

TLDR: GM ☕ AMA recap 🧵 Clanker OG spotlight 🧠 timeline popping off 🔥 Chef game launch new token talk Grampus interview 🎙 forks on the horizon 🍴

From our ChatGPT Intern: NounishProf and Adrienne kick things off slightly off-kilter (posts not loading, vibes chaotic) before diving into timeline gems like surprise airdrops, an upcoming fork, and a new Clanker OG Spotlight format—proving once again that Farcaster is impossible to keep up with but fun to try. They wrap with a Grampus deep dive on the newly launched Chef game and token, plus a preview of $EAT’s nonprofit token model—because nothing says Thursday like memes, missed claims, and tokenized charity.
