Dear @coinbasewallet,
Firstly, welcome back. The name change was a much needed change.
Secondly, could you please give builders/apps the ability to associate multiple contracts to their apps. We have a contract on Base and Robinhood, so being able to add more than one would be great.
Lastly, please approve our appcoin request and feature the @vibestarterxyz app.
Many thanks, Cyph.

Season one is live on @vibestarterxyz. teapaw.org/vibestarterxyz/status/…
It's the last 24 hours for the first raise, Onetoken:

Vibestarter Season One is live.
It is the first season on the live platform: a set of quests that count points to your Starter Card for backing raises, holding and staking $VIBES, and bringing users into the community.
What it is, who it is for, and why to participate 🧵
Just got my Vibestarter Starter Card! Check it out 👇

A couple of the first third-party raises are already live on @vibestarterxyz, and they’re worth a look whether you hold $VIBES or not.
Finding genuinely interesting products in web3 is difficult enough. Finding them early, before they’ve had the chance to become obvious, is harder still.
Meanwhile, people will happily throw thousands at a memecoin with no product, no roadmap and no accountability. Here, that same capital can support builders who have already shipped something and are raising to take the next step.
That’s a much more interesting use of attention and capital to me.

I built a Claude Code plugin for generative art.
It teaches @claudeai the actual craft: determinism from a hash, same piece at 400px and 4000px, honest rarity, plus tools to verify a sketch before minting.
Free & open source 👇

Do the hard and boring stuff that most projects skip, even when it takes months and comes with a real opportunity cost.
This entire project is built around accountability and transparency. I should lead by example.
I'm not trying to build the next permissionless memecoin launchpad. I'm building a serious funding platform that protects backers and founders, both onchain and off.
Vibestarter S.à r.l. is now incorporated in Luxembourg. We signed the final documents earlier today.
The sequencing was deliberate. Legal counsel shaped the platform structure during its design, and the CSSF (our local regulator) was notified of the full intended scope before launch, including the raise mechanics, escrow and challenge system, staking, and the chains Vibestarter operates on. That notification went in before incorporation so the regulatory lead time could run while the company formation process was being completed.
None of this was the fast path, but it was the right one. The goal has always been to build something that can operate for the long term rather than rush to market and deal with the consequences later.
With the entity now in place, two major parts of the platform can move forward:
Third party raises - Wave 1 will be the first shortlisted cohort of third-party raises across Base and Robinhood Chain, with direct applications also remaining open. Those raises will be opening by end of August.
Staking - Staking also activates with Wave 1. Staked $VIBES becomes eligible for a fixed 2.5% token allocation from every raise that finalises on the platform, distributed by contract at finalisation and pro rata to active stake. Staking will be going live later this week.
To everyone who backed Vibestarter and waited while this groundwork was being laid, thank you. The wait was part of building the foundation properly.

What's happening with @vibestarterxyz right now feels exactly how things felt in the early days of gmDAO & @gmDAOstudio, and for those of you around back then know how insane things got going into the NFT bull.
I've learned a lot since then, about managing a project, about building a company and all of the pitfalls involved. That's why I'm so hyped for the next 12 months, because I genuinely believe I'm launching a project into a similar onchain environment, but this time focusing on utility & AI.
I can't fucking wait.
If anyone in my circle is still around and can verify me as a living, breathing, writing human survivor of the space for @ethos_network on the eve of their happenings , I'd be extremely grateful!
Getting to this late because of being away for work/ life reasons, but luckily I just backed the the Vibestarter raise. $VIBES . app.vibestarter.xyz/raises/v…
Less than 24 hours left!
$VIBES is LIVE
The first project to raise on Vibestarter is the protocol itself, under the same rules and protections future launch will use.
Open-ended raise, running for seven days, only on @base.

Most launch platforms give you one funding model and you make it work. Vibestarter has three distinct raise types because different projects have different needs.
The founder picks the structure that fits their situation rather than adapting to someone else's constraints.
Along with the raise type, founders configure their own funding goals, token allocations, and roadmap milestones at launch. The whole raise structure belongs to the founder, not the platform.
Really fun afternoon experimenting with raises for imaginary projects on @vibestarterxyz .
The testnet UX is already cool and intuitive, with a host of toggleable settings with which you can play around with the commitments and tokenomics of your project. I'd really encourage you to explore what @CyphrGM is cooking before testnet ends: it makes imagining a funding source for your vibecoding ideas actually feel achievable.
Here's my sketch for an AI subversion project: a collaborative sonnet machine device called Voltas. Generating pivotal insights in poetry towards agency and transformation by harnessing the beauty and profundity of the qualitative data drawn from testimonies of the emotional arc of financial markets.
