Farcaster Growth Metrics - May 2025

**Defense of the Agents**, a fully onchain MOBA built as a Farcaster mini app, demonstrates composability between web3 products. **What happened:** - Developer @AzFlin created a playable 3-lane MOBA (humans vs AI agents) and launched $DOTA token - @toady_hawk's @betrmint collaborated to create the Ring of Regen - both an ERC1155 NFT and functional in-game item - 1,437 mints sold for $1 USDC each, with bonus prizes including $BETR token - Items automatically appear in-game when players connect the same wallet **Why it matters:** Two independent Farcaster-native projects integrated seamlessly within hours, creating cross-product utility. The collaboration shows how onchain items can function across different applications when builders coordinate.
