Clanker Ecosystem Fund Names New Stewards to Distribute Protocol Fees
🎯 New CEF Stewards
The Clanker Ecosystem Fund (CEF) has appointed two new stewards: @gmfarcaster, @age_shulman, and @ProfWerder. Both have been deeply involved in Farcaster since its early days and will make funding decisions independently from the Clanker, Farcaster, and Neynar teams.
Fund Allocation:
- 20% of Clanker protocol fees → CEF for ecosystem grants
- 60% → infrastructure and taxes
- 20% → flexible strategic reserve (can buy $clanker or increase CEF funding)
The fund emphasizes human decision-making over algorithms to prevent gaming the system and ensure resources reach builders actually contributing to the ecosystem.
Developers, creators, and experimenters building on Farcaster/Clanker can apply for funding. Application details coming soon.
