Demo Day

Farcastle

In the mystical realm of Farcastle, we embark on a quest to transform Warpcast channels into DAOs.

DAOing it Wrong

Mega DAOs that model Fortune 500 companies are not the future of human coordination.

  • Discord servers on slow mode, toxic Twitters, and Telegrams with dozens of topics are impossible to keep up with
  • They lead to taking the easy route of token voting and ruggable multisigs
  • Lack of engagement in governance results in a disconnect between community members and the organization's goals

This is not the gwei

This is not the gwei

Prioritize the Vibes

To realize the potential of human coordination we have to prioritize the vibes.

We do it for the culture to organize around vision and accomplishmet.

Farcastle enables communities to focus on their values and purpose

we provide the tech to support these missions.

DAOing in the Trenches

We have been DAOing in the trenches for years.

@samkuhlmann

Sam Kuhlmann:

  • Launched DAOhaus at ETH Berlin 2019
  • He is a founding member of RaidGuild
  • And built the Proof-of-Peach protocol to ship juicy fruit from Palisade Colorado

@earth2travis

I:

  • Led the development of DAOhaus v3 platfrom
  • Joined RaidGuild in Season 1
  • And launched the first fractional NFT Marketplace on Arbitrum

Yeeter

Together, we built the Yeeter crowd funding tool that DAOhaus used to raise 725 ETH in a 2022 community contribution offering.

We have learned hard lessons on our journey:

  • Although we are onchain maxis
  • built composable tools
  • and are constantly formulating new experiments to test these technologies

Nobody cares.

We must "get technology out of the way."

Turns Warpcast Channels Into DAOs

Farcaster x DAOhaus

  • We augment the Farcaster protocol with DAOhaus treasury management & governance by adding decision making features to the Warpcast client.
  • And aligning with the vision of cozy corners

We believe small groups united in their passions around topics like beer and music are positioned to ride the wave of growth in decentralized social media protocols.

We are creating a new way to interact with the tech we have been building for years.

Farcastle connects communication and governance.

Communities Want To

With over five years working with decentralized organizations we have learned that communities want to:

  • Onboard Members
  • Raise Funds
  • and Make Decisions

But members should not have to go to separate apps to accomplish these tasks.

Without Leaving the Feed

Farcastle let's them do this without leaving the feed.

Frames

Our first features are focused on frames.

  • Join allows channels to onboard members
  • Yeet allows groups to raise funds
  • And Vote let's people make decisions within the context of communication

Get Your Bags Up

So how do we stack coins?

With the Yeeter product we make 3% on all funds raised.

The Octant accelerator helped us realize there is also an opportunity to apply our community building skills as a service.

and this year Nouns funded three teams @ $100k each to build dedicated communication clients using the Farcaster protocol.

Custom Clients

We believe this will become more common as communties demand unique interfaces and our tools can be used to build custom clients as managed software.

800%

We experienced 800% growth during the Octant accelerator.

We busted our asses to grow the /farcastle channel to 36 followers

but are just getting started.

Partners

"The real treasure was the friends we made along the way."

Through this program we measured growth by the communities eager to partner with us.

This led to exploring relationship with Hats Protocol, Tavern, Coordinape, and MetaFactory who are all excited about using Farcastle technology in various ways.

Fuel the Fire

According to The Graph, DAOhaus v2 are the most queried subgraphs on the Gnosis Chain.

This is evidence that our technology brings a significant amount of transactions to networks that need attention.

We are here to pour fuel on the fire and make a scene.

Your Quest

Your quest is to help us level up the coordination game

We need your help identifying:

Existing Warpcast channels seeking to add governance

and finding grants to fund continued product development and marketing

We need a network more interested in entertainment than another DAO tooling project.

As we lean into the lore of Farcastle our strategy brings attention to partners and demonstrates how these tools are used in creative and engaging ways.

Support us in turning onchain coordination into a game.

And help us continue our journey!

Let's Play

We chain the tech in the dungeon to prioritize the vibes.

Let's play!
