System is Updating into 2026: GM Farcaster ep323 Friday December 19, 2025 with @chintan, Base App Head of Engineering TLDR: 🎄 Die Hard mini-app launches, Save Holly drops, clanks fly, and holiday brain is in full effect📱 Base App UI debates, new feeds, trending tokens, and Farcaster clients shifting🧠 Chintan from Base explains what’s shipping, what’s intentional, and what’s already on the roadmap🔐 Opsec horror stories + reminders not to clone random repos🔥 End-of-year vibes, product feedback, and Farcaster absolutely refusing to slow down From our ChatGPT Intern: On the final GM Farcaster of the year, we juggle holiday brain, Base App drama, and a full DieHard–themed mini-app launch where you literally Save Holly, clank tokens, and climb Nakatomi Tower while Adrienne live-roasts UI choices and multitasks with an AI bot. Then Chintan Head of Engineering at Base jumps in to calmly explain what’s actually shipping, why Base is eating the protocol, and how half the things we complained about are either intentional, inevitable, or already fixed. Show Notes and Links – some of the casts & stuff we talked about:    Chintan links:@chintan: https://farcaster.xyz/chintan Base App: https://farcaster.xyz/baseapp.base.eth  FC NEWS Prof built a game:https://farcaster.xyz/nounishprof/0xbe1932be Ghost busting:https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0x18f99c8a Base is most popularclient on FC protocol:https://farcaster.xyz/dwr/0xc2c10ade Airdrop to those youfollow:https://farcaster.xyz/dish/0xe8e6da99 Clanker Auctions:https://farcaster.xyz/deodad/0xeea17ee3 Pulse tab:https://farcaster.xyz/mxjxn/0xf37ec35bhttps://farcaster.xyz/nounishprof/0xe5cb68bc be careful out there:https://farcaster.xyz/maxbuidl.eth/0x7adb412ehttps://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0xa2a2b7fd  BUILDERS BUILDING Degen Client:https://farcaster.xyz/jacek/0x6ff83543https://farcaster.xyz/jacek/0xdfcd4775 Sopha:https://farcaster.xyz/chriscocreated/0x43f1fb86https://farcaster.xyz/chriscocreated/0xeaa715ed Farhouse is open:https://farcaster.xyz/farhouse/0xf02bfefe What’s on your Bookshelf?https://farcaster.xyz/limes.eth/0xf607fbd1 Paragraph API &typescript SDK: https://farcaster.xyz/colin/0xbaa97008 Ponder is pondering:https://farcaster.xyz/cojo.eth/0x1955533a  BASE Coinbase SystemUpdate:https://farcaster.xyz/barmstrong/0xf39aa63b shakebase:https://farcaster.xyz/aneri.base.eth/0xebdf917d Summary of SystemUpdate:https://farcaster.xyz/garrett/0xa211673fMake it on Base:https://farcaster.xyz/baseapp.base.eth/0x0910d30d Roger that:https://farcaster.xyz/sayangel/0xc2c791b6 ‘Tis the Season:https://farcaster.xyz/baseapp.base.eth/0x1de40ca4 Base app in 1minutes:https://farcaster.xyz/baseapp.base.eth/0x070c3d97 and your friends arealready there:https://farcaster.xyz/pmayr/0x63d47ee1 but that’s the realone:https://farcaster.xyz/dwr/0x172af2b4 Bankr and Bracky inthe chats:https://farcaster.xyz/tldr/0xfeeec807 Bankr still gotchu:https://farcaster.xyz/deployer/0x77c5501f the future ofFrance:https://farcaster.xyz/apex777.eth/0x1742f2ec falsedichotomy?https://farcaster.xyz/barmstrong/0x9c85373e  And our musingselsewhere: Mint this episode onpods.media: https://pods.media/gm-farcaster  Learn more aboutpartnering with GM Farcaster:https://mediakit.gmfarcaster.com/  AND for all theinfo: www.gmfarcaster.com   Copyright 2025 cc-by GM Farcaster - reuse/remix allowed with attribution and link back to GMFarcaster.com. NOTE: Cryptocurrencies are often volatile assets.
