so you keep hearing that it’s about to be “App Coin Season” on @base… but what does that actually mean, and wtf is an App Coin?
To me, an App Coin (or Project Coin) is a token that:
1️⃣ Represents an app project memetically
2️⃣ Does something interesting in the app
3️⃣ Rewards users of the app
4️⃣ Builds a community around the app
5️⃣ Aligns founders, fans, and users
6️⃣ Is usually launched fairly on platforms like @clankeronbase on @farcaster_xyz, & @baseapp (aka everyone buys tokens at the price they deserve)
Bet on Builders.
(@betrmint and $BETR coded btw)
inspired by a question from @ccarella on farcaster
Here are some of my favorite app coins:
- @betrmint my own project, where @netnose and I have made $BETR a core part of all the viral loops in the app, and we also share app revenue with token stakers daily
- @clankeronbase $clanker is one of the OG farcaster app coins, and now with the fc acquisition and programmatic buy backs from volume fees, the token has some great flywheels
- @bankrbot $BNKR is a unique one because my quant @0xDeployer took a serendipitous meme deployed by none other than @MLeeJr, and turned it into the native token for the BANKR ecosystem. Staking soon 👀
- @Veildotcash $VEIL. Not a clanker, but very much an app coin from @apex_ether and stakers earn protocol fees from the best privacy mixer on Base.
- @BrackyHQ by @tldr_x is an agentic sports betting platform (and soon prediction market play?) that uses $BRACKY as a core part of the ecosystem
- @tipnearn $TIPN from @kompreni and @niftytime. Not a clanker (but soon to be one??) and definitely an app coin for one of the coolest in feed tipping protocols on farcaster
- $OPSYS by @fffflood not strictly a traditional app, but you can use his site to lock up token supply in exchange for design consultation, and he is a 🐐 designer
Some other favorites: $NATIVE @nativeonbase $MINTEDMERCH @MintedMerchShop $EMERGE @tryEmerge $checkr @checkrsocial $LIKES @likesdotfun
Coming soon: $RIPS @ripsapp $DEN @dendotshow
Not an app coin but a Project Coin I’m bullish on: $SKY @skycastletokens, Compounding NAV model tokenized project incubator for used on @base and @farcaster_xyz founders. Very deep bench advisor network (myself included.)
App Coin Autumn! 🍂
@betrmint @netnose @clankeronbase A couple more I forgot:
