Have you ever wanted an onchain record of a Farcaster cast you really liked? Is tipping someone with real money too mainstream for you? Have you ever wanted to plaster someone's cast with pointless stickers? No? Shit. Well, Ploink lets you mint onchain reactions to Farcaster casts using pointless artisanal, community-created sticker packs.

Ploinking is powered by $ploink points. Each reaction costs a certain amount of $ploink, which Farcaster users accrue by ❶ minting reactions with Ploink, ❷ casting content that other users react to, and ❸ creating sticker packs that people use in their reactions.

Under the hood, Ploink uses Patchwork to mint reactions and assign those reaction records to NFT representations of each Farcaster cast being reacted to. Pretty neat.

How to Ploink

1. Install the Ploink cast action: Add the Ploink cast action to Warpcast and select the React with Ploink! action on the cast you wanna react to.

   Install the Ploink cast action!

   If you don't want to install the cast action, you can always reply to a cast with @ploink and our bot will reply with a frame for you to use. Lizard brain way to do it but it works.

2. Choose your reaction:

   • Enter an emoji: Pick an emoji to represent your reaction (literally type an emoji into the frame's text input like 🤯). We've got a default sticker pack with around 3,000 of the most common emojis, but eventually others will add their own sticker packs and you'll be able to type in things like dogface400 or whatever they name their stickers. Our default emoji stickers all cost 10 $ploink to use, but sticker creators can price them however they want.

   • Choose how many stickers you wanna attach: Set it to more than 1 to make your reaction pop (and also the $ploink cost).

   • Sign the transaction: Sign the transaction to mint your reaction on Base.

   • Check your wallet: It should now contain a freshly-minted onchain cast reaction.

Where does the $ploink go?

When you react to something the $ploink is distributed as follows:

• 10% to sticker pack creator: Good job for making the sticker.

• 50% to the OG of the content: Good job for making the cast.

• 40% burnt: Sent off to the void. We aren't really sure why.

How can you get $ploink

We seeded $ploink to all Farcaster users using a very advanced mathematical formula: The number of times you've liked something on Farcaster * 100, with a floor of 500 and a max of 10,000.

How can you get more $ploink?

• Use Ploink!: The best way to get more $ploink is to actively use it. 50% of every reaction cost is rewarded back to the reactor's main balance daily. Additionally, 100% of the reaction cost is sent to a reactor's temporary bonus balance (over the course of 2 days) which is spendable for seven days before it vanishes. Spends from the bonus balance still get 50% rebated to the main balance daily, allowing you to accumulate $ploink by minting reactions daily.

• Post good (or bad?) content: Share content on Farcaster that gets reacted to and watch your $ploink stack grow.

• Create deranged sticker packs: The more your sticker packs get used, the more $ploink you get.

• Beg the Ploink bot: If you can't manage any of the above, you can always beg the Ploink bot (using @ploink beg) and it's possible someone will take pity on your soul.
