How to create frames without any code - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/How-to-create-frames-without-any-code?index=0x65ca5084e96196377182e6fc789bb66adbd743a3de08be768bd211b8c0106b6c0fd32f6d - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/create-frames-without-code - Shared 12 February 2024, 7 upvotes, 5 comments Frames are interactive apps built into Farcaster posts, and this guide explains how non-developers can create them without code using several tools. It covers polls and quizzes (polls.dep.dev and quizframe.xyz), galleries (frames-gallery.vercel.app, limited to five images), and NFT minting through Zora, Manifold, or custom contracts. It also describes Paragraph and Mirror for reading and minting articles, Glass for gating content by token, follows, or likes, and Neynar for multi-page strategies that combine navigation, external links and mint pages. ## 2. Channel tokens - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Channel-tokens?index=0x6670443d831354477c43964cf14fe313a1131b2dcf92cb201be636e6d2745c05dc8b87cb - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/channel-tokens - Shared 17 June 2024, 7 upvotes, 0 comments Channel tokens should emphasize contributors over buyers, and channel success should depend on member quality rather than member count. Jonny Mack reported that nine channels using Hypersub's subscription tokens generated about $14,400 in revenue over two weeks, with 828 paying subscribers. Another wave of channel tokens is launching through far_terminal, with 47 channels creating their own within four days. Current token activity is largely speculative, and proposed alternatives include distributing tokens to early contributors, running points systems, and letting members claim tokens later based on value-added contributions. ## 3. Tokens Drive Innovation - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Tokens-Drive-Innovation?index=0x663a734e62521f82ecc66b3c200c8a294579684c94c67bcbd15425db90ddc8f2da42373e - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/tokens-drive-innovation - Shared 7 May 2024, 4 upvotes, 1 comment The article argues that memecoins, particularly those built within the Farcaster ecosystem, are moving beyond speculation toward community and utility, which it presents as a first token-market-fit defined by attention, utility and retention. It says ICOs were a major early wave in which 90% of projects became worthless, and that NFTs were valued for ownership even after sales declined. It points to DEGEN, a Farcaster memecoin used for tipping, with $DEGEN cast 124,127 times across 726 channels. The piece also cites memecoins with a market cap over $54 billion and presents Higher, a lifestyle brand built collectively with the $Higher token, as an example of scenecoins. ## 4. Onchain pictures - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Onchain-pictures?index=0x66d22151b849492db9cee865a404923610183e62e11f017be8efeca1cfe146d8b60d634d - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/onchain-pictures - Shared 30 August 2024, 2 upvotes, 1 comment Moshicam, Rodeo and Zora are presented as exploring a new social behavior in which posts are owned assets that earn value for creators and collectors, rather than relying on ads. Moshicam splits royalties on collected bordered photos 60% to the photo creator, 20% to the border creator and 20% to Moshicam. Rodeo makes each post available for only 24 hours, with a 0.0001 ETH minting fee split 50% to the creator, 25% to the collector who influenced the mint and 25% to Rodeo. Zora offers email sign-up and an Instagram-style feed where double-tapping mints a post, and reports over 1.1M users. ## 5. Seamless tokens - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Seamless-tokens?index=0x670ffbf956643d58185c5d97ac154d89bc7523cc05dd0f42638cda6e3e89b08c4cf4464d - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/seamless-tokens - Shared 16 October 2024, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 6. It Pays to Be Onchain - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/It-Pays-to-Be-Onchain?index=0x660eebcab55ec2edcbf8fb64915a24c39a046a91c3ae626dc1b428cb92e088065f4e4f81 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/it-pays-to-be-onchain - Shared 4 April 2024, 2 upvotes, 0 comments The article argues that onchain collecting, referral rewards and tipping let fans and curators share in the value of content they support, and that this is replacing likes and shares as the measure of virality. It points to Zora, where creators earn as their content is collected and shared and the first minter receives a small fee, and to Hypersub, where early subscribers receive more rewards because the multiplier decreases over time. The author cites referral rewards that users have earned over $734k across more than 4M referrals, and says creators earned over $4M from Zora mints in the past month. The piece also proposes a content-level model in which creators set the early-collector token allocation and revenue-sharing rate at the time of minting. ## 7. Onboarding users - learnings from teaching at UB - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Onboarding-users-learnings-from-teaching-at-UB?index=0x6666a1ee0930237e0c143257d65c77b6d2e0cfafb36943aa8f0889967b493faf45163a2e - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/onboarding-users-learnings-from-teaching-at-ub - Shared 10 June 2024, 1 upvote, 1 comment The author, who taught a blockchain course at the University of Barcelona, argues that onchain apps need to be easier to onboard into and should focus on everyday usefulness rather than tokens and speculation. Over three weeks, 32 students got their first POAP, took out a loan on Aave, created their own token, learned about NFT traits, discovered onchain media on Zora, and got excited about Farcaster. Getting users started without a wallet or funds was difficult, and the instructor sometimes had to use Sepolia or show students how to buy crypto on MetaMask with a credit card. The piece also questions whether the push to onboard millions is driven by VC KPIs or by real needs. ## 8. Brand protocol - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Brand-protocol?index=0x66576221396b2265b408e30a418e130e6f810ec89be08a969d03dd1512d910f6b89debe2 - Source: https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/brand-protocol - Shared 29 May 2024, 1 upvote, 0 comments Brand protocol is proposed as a framework in which creators, builders and users collaborate within a shared brand ecosystem, rather than a brand being managed top-down. The article compares this to APIs and protocols that let different systems interact: creators add new content and ideas, builders create interfaces such as apps, websites and frames, and users hold and use the brand's token. It gives Jacopo's onchain commerce built within a frame, where members could buy higher merch, as an example of a builder. The article presents Nouns and Higher as examples of headless brands in which this collaboration is most visible.
