just claimed my $DENIM rewards. 50% of the fees earned go back to holders, where you can claim them on the @clanker_world website. made roughly $100 in less than 24 hours just from holding. good tech @darkohh @toady_hawk

a few words about my thinking around amplifying clanker builders and tokens from this account. first of all: builders need distribution more than anything else. I know, because I’ve been one myself, and I’ve spent years in the onchain trenches with builders and traders alike. it’s one of the easiest things to give, and it’s functionally free…. yet most ecosystems and ecosystem leads fail to do it properly. and that’s probably because they’re scared. they’re scared to accidentally promote a rug, or a soft rug, or an outright scam. which, fair enough. it’s a minefield out there, and in the golden age of AI slop, some of the mines are difficult to sweep. but I’m not scared. I’ll do my best to vet new projects before amplifying them here. I’ve already been actively reaching out to builders to open comms and make sure they can get the support they need to build for the long term, and will continue to do so. I’ll share clanker eco projects that I think are promising because those builders deserve the initial attention, and the opportunity to earn more of it over time (scarce asset that it is). And I’ll share memes with good teams because memes are entertaining and it would be super boring around here without them. I’ll continue to buy some of these tokens on my public fomo as a signal of support too, and I won’t sell them. But despite all that, some of these won’t work out, and that’s ok. we’re all adults here and we understand the game we’re playing: the speculative attention game. but speculative attention games that can allow real builders to bootstrap real projects they otherwise could not build, so that’s pretty based. I think there’s a whole hierarchy of “free” distribution that can eventually be earned in this eco, including follows and shares from the @clanker_world account, other @base leaders, etc. I’ll also work on a plan for how these kinds of “vouches” can be earned over time. but as for me and this account, my top priority is to lift up clanker builders, old and new. I’ll do my best to curate them carefully and give them a chance to earn your longer term support (or not). imo, this is the only way we can win together. clank clank.
