Catch Up With Common: Farcaster Contests are here ᯓ★
💸 Launch and earn right on Farcaster ᵔᴗᵔ
Gmoo 🐮 There’s another feature launch to talk about this week with Farcaster Contests and Contest Bot!
You can now create a contest right on Farcaster as a Frame. From there, people can reply to the Frame to submit their entry. The most upvoted memes win, and winners are rewarded without leaving the app.
For our first Farcaster Contest, we partnered with Mochi to launch a Based Meme Contest with an 80M $MOCHI prize pool.
We saw lots of great entries! Check it out here and learn more about Farcaster Contests in this blog post.
You can also prompt @contestbot on Farcaster with a descriptive title and the token address to fund a contest, and it’ll create one for you! Here’s one that just launched.
