# @cassie: Farcaster Classic not launching token, Hypersnap token coming

Source: https://farcaster.xyz/cassie/0xf34d17c1

## Summary

Farcaster Classic, the fork maintained by Neynar, says it is not launching a token; the token talk instead concerns Hypersnap, a separate fork of Snapchain, and the Hypersnap team calls it a Farcaster token. The post says this has caused confusion because Neynar refers only to its side of the fork as Farcaster, even though it has none of the original protocol dev team. The author defines "farcaster" as the ecosystem and protocol and "farcaster classic" as Neynar's side of the fork, and says the history of ETH and ETH Classic makes this view clear. The post also states that a Farcaster token is coming this month.

## Article

farcaster classic is not launching a token.

the token talk circulating right now is tied to hypersnap, a fork of snapchain, both participants of the farcaster protocol. the hypersnap team has been referring to the token as a farcaster token, because it is a farcaster token. understandably, this has caused confusion, because neynar refers only to their side of the fork as farcaster, and yet they have none of the original protocol dev team.

to reduce confusion, when we say "farcaster" we mean the ecosystem and protocol. when we say "farcaster classic", we mean the side of the fork neynar maintains.

consider the history of eth and eth classic, and this POV will make sense.

farcaster token is coming this month. 🫡
