# Farcastle Ideas

Should we shorten the name to just Castle or Castles?

Looks like [borodutch](https://warpcast.com/warpcastadmin.eth) owns the channels and the accounts. He was the guy behind $SPAM and his current project is Eggs?

---

How might Farcastle be more like a game? Something that people are willing to grind on. What might be a reason to come back everyday? Like Farville or Clankermon.

Enter the Gates (of Farcastle) campaign

What is the SocialFi angle here?

Make Farcastle into a game. Where people figure out how to get coins. They play. We make money off trading fees and NFTs.

Can generate revenue from our own NFTs in app. Can also have tools for channels to launch their own NFTs and we can make a percentage.

Who cares if people want to use the tools. Just make it fun and put on a show.

- Blacksmiths: Summon, Tools
- Chaplains: Support, Docs
- Chamberlains: Launch, Tokens
- Stonekeepers
- Jesters
- Baalhorn: Moloch
- The Fly

Who is the bot to Make Proposals?

All can be token gated with different levels of access to features

Characters can be created with unique personalities but they inherit the skills of their trade and add custom features. Such as The Iron Blacksmith, The Pale Chamberlain, Father Morwen. This allows individuals freedom to define the character and launch a token.

Do we need a switch

## You Serve No Castles

- Explore
- Build (Summon DAO)

---

- Bring in Add Member form to Fundraiser
- Everytime someone sees a heart they get points
- Use AI to generate campaign avatar and store on Pinata
- Export new image and set the size of the gate on the Enter The Gates view. It looks fuzzy
- Maybe replace the "proposals" heading with Based Castles clicking the heading could be the network switcher
- Each DAO can have an agent generator. Pick lore, select features. Could be a marketplace to choose the function then it it gets the skin and personality for your DAO.
- Hire an agent in the tavern
- What does Farcastle's success look like?
- How can we work backwards from that?
- Channel leaderboard can lead discovery and growth
- Channel leaderboards can be Farcastle points
- We test it out
- Then offer the product to our channels to use if they hold a certain token
- Projects need attention and distribution
- How can you position Farcastle to support growth?
- Bring Adventurers NFT project to RaidGuild. Pay in ETH or stables and get a match from DAOhaus and RaidGuild. (Plor, Deadcell, TW, front end?)
- [ProductClank](https://www.productclank.com/) $STONES to build Farcastle. After we release these levels use it to hype things up and fund bringing it all together
- Proposals
- Tributes (Yeeter)
- Contests (Ask.Haus)
- Polls (Ask.Haus)
- Tavern
- How might we give NFTs to happy hour hosts and attendees? (Gotas?)
- Bounties, Quests, Raids
- Bounties could just be a view of Bounty Caster
- Quests could be a revenue source that is sponsored by different companies like RabbitHole used to do
- Build a custom frame and have rewards in our token + whatever rewards from sponsor. Maybe convert rewards from sponsors into our tokens.

## Tavern

Voice is the hottest thing in AI for VCs right now. Spaces is the killer app of Twitter. Tavern is good tech.

- `tavern.farcastle.net`
- Crowd fund to bring Tavern back. Brennen will give us the code. It was costing him about $600 per month. He said there are opportuunities to bring the recurring costs down. Could get support from Gramajo from Nouns and Pichi. Maybe even the /gmfarcaster and /latenightcrew
- Tavern could be the entry point to Web3. The place where you learn about what is going on
- We could brew our own ale
- Could token gate access to features
  - You have to hold a certain amount of $TOKEN to schedule a call
  - Unlock different levels of features based on the amount of $TOKEN held

[Governance frame](https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x9ceaf0)

---

Our DH features have been about governing a treasury. New features are around governing a communications channel.

- [launch frames from a channel header](https://warpcast.com/deodad/0xde0a872f)
- Agent to create signal proposal (walk through steps like I did with Aethernet Yeeter)
- Yeeter-like Onboarding
- View Safe Balances
- Cast Actions
- Mini Apps
- Create Proposal
- Bot for proposal notifications
- Guide for creating a channel on Warpcast
- Submit Proposal
- Yeeter Tool
- Frame enhancements? (or wait for feedback?)
- Proposals for updating AI prompts
- Proposal to Add Caster to Shared Account
- [Pure HTML Farcaster Frame](https://warpcast.com/samuellhuber.eth/0xfbf49cd6)

Also see [Enhancements](https://hackmd.io/2QoGCZ-BQy6QJkFAvO02TA)

Is there any reason to use Bonfire?

## Apps

- Whispers
- Menagerie
- Sigils (Like Menagerie)

## Profiles

Can have a profile page for each agent in the Characters app.

Have a Stonekeepers profile page before we launch a token. Have who we are, what we shipped, and what we believe.

## Clanker

We need Clanker clanking out DAOs so we have channels to use the Farcastle features.

## Discoverability

- Being able to discover new DAOs is going to be an important way to help with onboarding
- Find a DAO based on your interests and values
- Highlighting channels
- Promoting their purpose
- Features to help them grow
- Market and promote for them
- Record Podcasts
- Write blog posts
- Incentivize others to do this
- Maybe have a TCR of DAOs
- Maybe have a way for DAOs to buy a highly visible spot on the list
- Could also have a harberger taxed spot
- Plor mentioned career fairs in college. Or student org showcases. By making what the org does it makes it more likely to grow. Easy to explain Badger Cheese Club. And easy to know if it something you want to get involved with.
- The orgs listed at the top reap the benefit of org directories 

## Frame Feature Parking Lot

- figure out how to refresh data on a pinned cast
    - maybe an intent to reload?
- Query all displayed addresses to show farcaster username
    - airstack integration
- vote status bar
    - potential bounty
- view votes frame
	- with farcaster usernames and voting power
- vote success intents - link back to proposal

## Customer Segment: Channel Owners

What is the value prop for channel owners? How do they benefit from forming a DAO?

## Display Channel Logos on Site

Dynamically generate the channnel logos and provide a link to the channels from our site.

## Cast To Yeet

Yeet with text similar to [@hamtern buy me 0.005 ETH worth of $TN100x](https://warpcast.com/deployer/0x6e02d32a)

## DAOcember

Dedicate this year to Farcastle and AI agents.

## Signals App Frame

Allow DAOs to set priorities from the feed

## Uber ANON DAO

- Use the addresses in the Hats tree to summon a DAO
- [wave](https://warpcast.com/lk) is the owner of the [`/anon`](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/anon) channel

## Drop a DAO on Em

Could react to different trending topics or new meta. Get all the wallet addresses associated with reactions to a cast and drop a DAO on them to vote on a single issue onchain. The community reaction to the Superanon AI dog avatar made me think of this.

## 2024 Channel Report

Do research and gather data on the state of channels and how people are feeling about the updates. Do it at a high enough level that the report would be super valuable to Merkle Manufactory.

## Yeets Into Groups

Automatically start a group message with contributors to a Yeeter campaign

## Moderation as a Service

## Demos

Start scheduling some demos on Fridays

- DAOhaus
- RaidGuild
- Brood
- Maybe Octant

## Create Pages

- Create make a scene page
- Create page for decks

## Token Launch

- We need to think creatively about a token launch and or PFP project
- Should be something with utility and not another meme coin
- Could use 6551 wallets with characters and they need the NFT to access the channel
- Could create a secondary market for trading these characters
- Holding certain tokens could provide access to updating some of the context in the AI prompts
- Want the token launch to be more like an ICO
- Want investors to believe in us and the project
- Not just trying to 10x and bail

## If RG Gets Killed

Maybe we could put in a big proposal to hire a RG team for Q1 for AI, performance art, NFTs, token launch

## Lore Generator

Text input to type what you want to say. Drop-down to select a character. May even have some type of integration for Supercast or Herocast. Or maybe it is its own client.

## Launch Frame

Would be cool to have a frame dedicated to the launch. A way to click through and see what is new.

## AI Tools

Interface to input the idea you want to cast, select a character from the drop-down, and auto-generate the casts.

## Hypersub

The Hypesub mint to join channel is really slick. After you mint on Hypersub there is a link to the channel and the button to join at the top is already there. 

## Legitimate Participation

[Legitimate peripheral participation refers to the process by which newcomers to a community of practice become integrated into that community.](https://warpcast.com/rafa/0x5a5d594d)

[Key elements of LPP include:](https://warpcast.com/earth2travis/0x56a58e19)

1. Legitimacy
2. Peripherality
3. Participation

## Members Frames

Replace the link to DAOhaus Admin

We can let these simmer for right now and figure out how to get them in later. The members frame has a dependancy on the ENS/FID integrations.

### ENS

Use ENS or FID to display profile photo and name under Submitted By

[Farcaster Profile data](https://warpcast.com/pugson/0x3aa16c00)

## Safes Frames

Replace the link to DAOhaus Admin

## Cast Actions

Could have one like Moxie that has multiple options once you open the action sheet.

- Could list active proposals
- Could be a way to claim points

## Queue

Could eventually get a queue of channels we are going to get Farcastle set-up for. If we get a backlog of communities who want these tools it may even be possible to have them stake a token to move to the top of the queue. Could also do Yeeter's to get the community to pay for the implementation.

## Leaderboard

Thinking about counting posts, likes, comments, quotes, and recasts to add to the leaderboard. Might be cool to exchange points for items in the inventory.

Points system for participating in activites and contributing to the project

- Can have a daily claim. Maybe make it a transaction to increase our transaction counts.

Leaderboard could have separate sections for Contributors and Channels. We could find a way to track channel activity and rank them.

Could use hearts and points. 

Should we use https://guild.xyz/

[This is my Frames Experiment #35: Daily Growing Channels.](https://warpcast.com/nikolaiii/0x24a040e7)

Jin is doing some cool stuff with contributors to ai16z: [contributor data](https://youtu.be/-2PD3uk0Hz4?si=Td8wkxFlZY_lFR59&t=551)

- Doing stuff earns experience
- Level up to provide access to AI agents

### Ways to Earn Points

- Having castle emoji in username

## Inventory

Items the player has collected for participating in activites and contributing to the project

![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkaqLh9Wyx.png)

## Stonekeepers

Add Hats Delegator to this account. We also need to figure out how the wallets will work for the accounts.

- Can it be a multisig? (Would it be possible to vote?)
- How might we turn each one of the characters into a 6551?

## Proposals

Use proposals to add and remove moderators from a channel.

- Add Mod
- Remove Mod

Can create a Moderate From cast action

What are our features for DAOs to manage channels?

- Proposal to Add Moderator
- Proposal to Remove Moderator

## NFTs

### Post Yer Ale

Start minting NFTs for attendess of Post Yer Ale Happy Hours

What if we require them to respond to the hangover post on Friday. Request that they share their thoughts and then can mint the NFT

### Farcastle Fellowship

Simple NFT to everyone who completes an onboarding call after joining the group.

### Hollow Servants

Fork Nouns for a Hollow Servants NFT. Could possibly be weekly.

### [Adventurers](https://hackmd.io/hE_FZJm5RZ-NsCuq13j1_w?view)

Mint character that are allowed to enter the Farcastle channel.

Allow people to choose traits like creating a character.

Is there anyway we can incorporate [Character Sheets](https://charactersheets.io/)?

## Happy Hour

Use Happy Hour to onboard

- Dekan
- TW
- Ven & Metadreamer
- Peth

## Custom Designs

- Provide a way for channels to select their color pallet and typefaces

## TW

Would make a good Jester of Woe (Or Minstrel)

Get him to edit the Happy Hour recordings into podcasts

See if he is interested in helping with lore and aesthetics

## Jack Handy

Maybe we are not seeking channels that want to add governance. Maybe we are seeking communities that want to get a channel poppin'.

Granted. We have not really figured that out yet. But something to think about.

How do we get our channel poppin?

Can DAO members be the Moderators?

Define what the difference is between channel Members and Moderators for each channel?

Maybe we become a custom integrator that helps pull together the best channel tool.

Partner with [Bountycaster](https://warpcast.com/bountycaster) to configure bounty systems for channels.

Can @bountybot be used in reverse to offer services?

In Farcastle you can summon help for a project by asking around the courtyard. This is like finding service providers offered by our various roles (partnerships, grants, et cetera).

In Farcastle you can assemble a team for a project by asking around the tavern. This is like finding desginers and developers to form a raid party.

We could offer a bot development service for channels. We discover their requirements and build custom bots based on the vibe of the channel and what they want for it to accomplish.

We can also connect with the Gaianet x Boardroom RAG pipeline we just built. Gaianet may be willing to pay for us to build a bot on Farcaster that can access that data.

Maybe we can get Octant as a customer to turn their channel into a DAO.

## Onboarding

- Figure out process with Post Yer Ale
- What questions does a community need to answer?
- Eventually this is an onboarding facilitator
- Can have the discussions in channel
- Maybe a bot that asks questions and records replies
- Bot can people can cast to have added to channel without membership

## Farcastle Onboarding for Customers

Connect the entire customer onboarding flow into a game.

## Yeeter Onboarding

Create steps we can eventually automate with a bot from that walks the user through [the process I took @aethernet through](https://warpcast.com/earth2travis/0x1fa0e850)

## Bot for Onboarding

Guide through getting up to speed with the culture of community.

- Vision
- Values
- Norms
- Rituals
- Proposals
- Bounties

## Reddit

Dekan mentioned that Farcastle is an answer to the problem of sub-reddits getting rugged. Dig into this further.

Ven also has some interesting ideas about Reddit to explore.

## Nouns Inspiration

Nouns is doing a good job of enabling subcultures to focus on what they do.

- Skateboarding
- Breakdancing

They have to go through the proposal process but they are given funds to do what they are passionate about. They don't care about DAO shit. But they are fanatic about the org that helps them get they bags up.

We can help communities crowd fund with Yeeter. But should we also raise a treasury to help fund communities?

Could we partner with groups who help communities campaign and shill their crowd fund? Then gives these agencies a cut of the funds raised.

We do not need moar DAO tools we need communities with something to vote about

## Signal Frame

Thinking of ways to collect contact info for people who are interested in our product. Do not really want email addresses in a database.

Could we have a frame that people add a channel name into a text field and turn that into a proposal title with their FID in the description of a signal proposal?

This aligns with our "Onchain" [value](https://farcastle.net/values/)

## GTM

- Farcastles the game YEET into DAOs
- Performance Art
- Street Teams (Shill Squads)

Solve our own problem! We suck at marketing and promotion. Other communities do too. If we can figure out a formula people will pay for it.

### [Performance Art](https://hackmd.io/fOBxf__RT5Gtoy2rCHJHqg)

## DAO

What is the process for joining the DAO?

Could we do a dope NFT drop?

Should merch be a thing?

## POD DAO

- Could use Silo
- Run a Yeeter campaign to raise funds
- Do a goofy drunky PFP NFT

---

- A Cheers cast action (What does tapping glasses look like virtually?, How do you prove the other person is not poisioning you?, How do you celebrate something?)
- Do a dope NFT launch that will allow others to post to Main
- Run a Yeeter campaign (could do multiple levels of NFTs)
- Figure out a way to use some Daogroni ish
- Wonder if we could use Farcastle to start North and South DAOs for the [Farcastles](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/farcastles) channel
- Run a campaign to start North and South DAOs for the Farcastles game 
- Create a way to deploy a Vocs site for all channels 
- Token gated docs
- token gated access to a custom gpt thay can be used to generate lore and images with agreed upon prompts
- What we are building are just the primatives for customizable clients 
- Optimism has a round of retro rewards for governance coming up
- Our product DAOhaus has been in thr market for a while 
- Collab with vrbs and/or Basepaint to get some pixel art
- Think Brennan the Tavern founder is from Austin. Maybe we can use Tavern voice features in other apps
- Who is the voice of a castle? Who speaks for a castle? (The voice of a castle often takes the form of a Warden, a stoic guardian who embodies the castle's history and purpose.)
- Setup an account for this character for Farcastle

> The Farcastle Warden could be named Thaldrik the Timeless, a name that conveys both strength and a connection to the castle's enduring legacy. Thaldrik could be depicted as a wise and ancient figure, perhaps a guardian bound to the castle by a powerful enchantment, tasked with preserving its secrets and guiding those who seek its wisdom.

> Another option might be Elysara the Veiled, a name suggesting mystery and depth. Elysara could embody the castle's lore, with her presence intertwining with the very stones of Farcastle, whispering tales of adventure and caution to those who wander its halls.

> Both names evoke a sense of authority and intrigue, fitting for a character that embodies the spirit and guardianship of Farcastle.

## Post Yer Ale

- Most active monthly poster gets a bar tab

## Integrations

### Hats

According to Nick [🧢 as channel mod](https://warpcast.com/earth2travis/0xc039ea40) works out of the box

[Excited to announce FarcasterDelegator — an easy way to give your users fully onchain account sharing and channel management](https://warpcast.com/nintynick.eth/0x62e66674)

Re: Channel Ownershp "molochDAO on OP to own a channel as the DAO's shared account"

"send me a DAO contract address and the details for a new Farcaster account you want to share access to post from and I can set it up for you"

### [herocast](https://www.herocast.xyz/)

https://github.com/hero-org/herocast

> can connect you with the team at herocast too, which is the leading open-source client for farcaster

> hats is already integrated

> think you could fork the repo and do a specific channel with it

> When you have a strong use case I’d be happy to dive in and help with all the config

## Custom Clients

- Build a client for RaidBrood
- Build a custom client for Octant

### Paid Implementations

> We’ve been doing some paid implementation work with folks so we could help scope something like this for a big potential user and share the revenue if helpful

> Haven’t done paid implementation work for anything Farcaster related

> I’m imagining a new memecoin / NFT / PFP community that wants to go all in on a custom client and we could integrate their moloch DAO + FC channel + Hats with Automod

> Would probably be like a 10-20 ETH project. Could also proactively propose something like this to existing DAOs to see if anyone is interested
