Hey neighbors! As you all know, this is currently a side project of mine (I have a dayjob!), so getting a product out in just the second week is pretty great. I launched Print Studio this week, and people seem to really enjoy it. Hopefully you've minted a few, but if not no worries! There's no rush; your Print is your Print, and it's an unlimited supply ERC721. In any case, here's a look at this week in Native:

TL;DR

• As always, you can buy $NATIVE on Clanker here.

• Print Studio launched here. Must hold 1M or more $NATIVE.

• Market Cap: $3.3m • Holders: 3,221

Here's What Happened

• DMTLAND shouted us out on Twitter:

  Been holding this $NATIVE from 100K lucky enough to catch this early.
  
  Dev @derekbrown building something cool.
  
  I feel like @nativeonbase will do well if dev continues to push this. Might be worth keeping an eye on it.

  Haven't been in the purple app trenches over on @farcaster_xyz recently?
  
  There's an AI over there called Clanker who can be tagged in any post to create a token for you
  
  If you're not on the purple app though don't worry! "Popular in Rainbow" caught most of these early

• We withstood a dip in the market. Seems like we're coming back out of it, and the chart is looking great. It's a good time to be a neighbor.

Here's What's Next

• (Dream stage) Native whitepaper. Enough said.

• (Define stage - Behind on this) I'll be updating the Roadmap soon; haven't had time between the token growth and building product. It'll include more specific milestones, along with how I'm thinking about my own token allocation and of course an estimated timeline.

• (Define stage - on track) Think through an AMA strategy on both X and Warpcast. Folks are asking for it.

• (Develop stage - on track) I'm continuing to work on Passports, and we remain on track here for a launch this month, which is exciting. With Print Studio out, I'm moving my primary focus to the Passports product now.

• (Develop stage - ahead of schedule) I've already started working on the core foundations of Native: Dots, Homes, and the general interface and how it will work on top of Farcaster. You've seen some early work here with DotML and the Dot Log contract, but there's a TON more in my head to build here.

• (Develop stage - partnerships) A few folks have reached out with some very interesting partnership opportunities. More to come here!

Asks & Opportunities

• Help contribute to community: I'm one man, but I'm not alone. Share Native content. Talk about Native with folks and potential neighbors. Continue to contribute to the Discord, Telegram, and Farcaster Native channel here.

• Join Farcaster: Not only will Farcaster be the de-facto social layer for Native, but there's already a great community there. Again, the /nativefun channel will eventually be the default communication point for Native. Dan, Varun, and team are doing a great job shepherding the platform, and I'm happy to be a part. If you need an invite to Farcaster, don't hesitate to ping me!

• Believe in and hold $NATIVE: Be patient. Be a good neighbor. Be a holder. Be a contributor. I welcome feedback, ideas, questions, etc.
