"Fragment to Conquer"

Voldemort didn’t just rely on raw power—he fragmented his soul to ensure his survival. Farcaster must do the same. Right now, it thrives on the best web3 builders and developers, but that alone won’t make it unstoppable. It needs traders, shitposters, meme lords and most importantly… an artistic soul.

Because without art, there’s no culture. Without culture, there’s no movement.

Enter Artcoin, a way to inject this missing dimension into the ecosystem.


By 2026, we need Farcastermore

Farcaster’s strength is also its weakness: a highly concentrated network of founders and developers trading attention, hoping to receive some (qDAU attention) when it's their turn to build. This feedback loop creates a rare breed of high-quality beta testers—but is that enough?

Look at the most active channels: Memes and Degens. The rise of communities like Higher and Clanker has shown the power of social tokens, briefly boosting daily active users and engagement.

Why not fully embrace this direction?
Why not push art, memes, shitposting, and the degen mindset further?

That’s where Artcoin comes in.

In crypto, two things capture users: money and fun. Artcoin taps into both. A mix of memes, art, dopamine-fueled farming, and deeper ambition. Beneath the entertainment lies a reflection on how aesthetics are distributed on the internet—an angle Farcaster could benefit from.


Why artists matter on Farcaster

  • Creating news models: NFTs once promised a freer artistic ecosystem, but old mechanisms of scarcity and gatekeeping quickly crept back in. The blockchain shouldn’t replicate traditional aesthetic hierarchies—just as most metaverses failed by blindly copying real-world constraints.

  • Open up the the echo chamber: Yet, networks designed by artists for artists often collapse into echo chambers, disconnected from the broader cultural economy. They need something more. They need qDAU, degens, founders, thinkers.

  • Birthplace of a New Artistic Paradigm: Likewise, Farcaster’s community—though not explicitly "art-driven"—has an intuitive grasp of Web3’s cultural dynamics. Shitposting, memes, and emergent aesthetics aren’t just noise; they’re the building blocks of an internet-native art movement. Farcaster could be both its audience and its museum.


Should artists join Farcaster?

No reason. And that’s exactly why they should.

Too often, art is reduced to a marketing tool, artists treated as mere user acquisition mechanisms. This time, the reverse must happen. We don’t need another platform pretending to "save or help artists."

We need infrastructure (a protocol?) that serves them—like any other group—without exploiting them.

By 2026, we need Farcastermore.


Artcoin will fix it.


Artcoin tldr?

  • The Tinder of the art

  • the polymarket of internet aesthetic
