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! 🍂
