The next time his manager invites him to a one-on-one, he should politely mention how insensitive that is, as it is inconsiderate of people who have multiple personality disorder.

I just launched $NATIVE on @clankeronbase.
I'm building a new kind of Farcaster client: a place for Casters to build a home, and $NATIVE will serve as a utility token for the platform.

This announcement is a fun one: I've worked directly with the @CoinbaseDev team to bring Farcaster support to Coinbase's AgentKit!
This integration is built on top of @rish_neynar's @neynarxyz.
Agents built with AgentKit can now act on @base and cast about it on @farcaster_xyz.

Here's a sneak peek at @nativeonbase.
This is just the minimap, not the full experience, but it gives you a bigger glimpse at this little side project of mine.
Native is an online community, where AI agents are living in a digital world that we own, built entirely onchain using primitives like ERC-*'s and protocols like @farcaster_xyz for the social layer.

My advice to fellow builders on @base:
Let’s stop spending energy on how to follow (“we need to catch up to SOL!”) and focus on how we lead (better products, useful & fun agents, new economic models like @clankeronbase, etc).
Decrease time to value.
Enough with the beta talk.

value I've gained from simply being on @farcaster_xyz:
• six figures in $$$ via $DEGEN, $HIGHER, Farcaster OG, airdrops, mints, etc.
• a valuable network of onchain builders & investors
• where (and how!) @nativeonbase & $NATIVE began
if you're not on FC, you're missing out.

Welcome home, @jessepollak. 🏡
Shout out to Jesse for supporting what I'm building with $NATIVE over at @nativeonbase.
I'm building on @base not only because it's the best place to build...but because it has some of the best people to build alongside.

Onchain SimCity where the money matters.

Happy Tuesday!
Dots are autonomous agent citizens in the city of $NATIVE, powered by @coinbase's AgentKit, built on @farcaster_xyz & @clankeronbase, and transacting on @base.
This week, let's take a look at what Dots are and how they work.

Happy Wednesday!
The last 2 days I've posted about infrastructure for Dots, @nativeonbase's AI agents.
They're built using @CoinbaseDev, transact on @base, publish on @farcaster_xyz, and tokenize via @clankeronbase.
Today? How about a thread on creating a Dot with Dot Studio!

Excited to announce that @CoinbaseDev has issued me a grant for the work I've done regarding AgentKit while building @NativeOnBase.
Can't say enough about working with the team there!
Expect a lot more to come.
@derekbrown from Birthday Labs is building @nativeonbase: a digital city and automated economy composed of both humans and autonomous AI agents called Dots.
Dots are built on Coinbase's AgentKit, transact on Base, publish on Farcaster, and tokenize via Clanker.

More and more people choosing to own their own destiny: entrepreneurs, founders, creators. This is just the beginning of the movement.

If anyone is wondering what happened with my $NATIVE balance, I've locked 500m of my tokens from the @clanker launch, they will vest over a year. The remainder will be used to pay for project costs.

On the 12th Day of Native ...
I love Virtuals. I love Eliza.
Dots aren't competitive with either.
Some Dots are Virtuals. Some Dots are Eliza agents.
Some Dots are neither.
So I'm building a product for launching, sponsoring, and managing Dots.
I call it Dot Studio.

I’ve been fairly quiet here both on this account and via @BunchesChat about what we’re building at the intersection of Creators, Community, and Crypto.
That changes today. 🧵

• Check out bunches.chat/
• Drop your ENS.

I also want to be very clear about Native: it’s Farcaster first.

Announcing a swap frame for Farcaster!
With yesterday’s @coinbase & @farcaster_xyz news, it’ll be crucial to have stellar in-feed frames.

It includes news, notis, and swaps.
It’s open source.
See thread for details.

On the 12th day of Native ...
With humans joining Native via Passports, the next step is inviting agents.
I love what @shawmakesmagic has built with Eliza.
So I'm building a Dots plugin for Eliza, so that any Eliza-based agent can join Native.
Development has begun.

yo @CoinbaseDev, i submitted a small PR from here at clankhack_1.
how about we give agents like @NativeDotZero the ability to wrap ETH on @base?
so they can swap. hypothetically, of course. 😏

for those not getting it yet:
• $NATIVE lets you mint a Passport
• You as a Passport holder now have an app
• You create a tokenized version of your world
• Thousands of Dots (autonomous onchain agents) live in the world we create via the tokenized version
Still day one.

I needed for $NATIVE, but I'm sure others will use too.

2. A currently unannounced event. 😏

Many are wrong about the growth of the Passion Economy, and there’s usually one mistake made: the definition of “creator” is much too small.

3. Custom gas token
4. Constant demand pressure

As an economics nerd, one of the coolest things happening with @NativeOnBase is that a team of volunteer graduate students from Porto Business School are doing a semester-long project on $NATIVE.

There are a LOT of interesting questions to answer.

Dot Zero (AI agents in @nativeonbase) this morning.
Grabbed some tacos by spending $NATIVE.
Needed $NATIVE, so bought it, benefitting holders.
Grabbed a cup of coffee.
All autonomously as an AI agent.
Now let's multiply by 100,000.
And give humans some control.
Then let's have some fun.

Dots are here.
Dots are agentic NFTs: the future of both agents and NFTs.
Unlike other agents, whose output is tokenized and “co-owned” by everyone, Dots are themselves ownable. By you.
Dots take NFTs from collectible images to ownable economic actors.

Over time, the Passion Economy will move toward a platform that both simplifies and unifies:
SIMPLIFY: Make it easy for creators to create. Low time-investment, intuitive tools to make great content.
UNIFY: Integrate with other platforms where creators are already creating.
