Stories from the Trenches
=========================

1\. Farcade: New Remix Alert - Nightmare Blocks
-----------------------------------------------

Farcade just [leveled up](https://warpcast.com/chuckstock/0x93b463b1) with the arrival of **Nightmare Blocks**, the latest remix to hit the platform. A remix is a fork or spin-off variation of an existing game, allowing creators to add unique twists, updates, or entirely new mechanics—all with just an AI prompt. It’s a creative playground for reimagining your favorite games, and it’s already sparking a wave of fresh ideas.

What makes remixes even better? Original creators get rewarded every time someone builds off their work, creating a thriving ecosystem of creativity, user-generated content, and monetization. Dive into **Nightmare Blocks** and experience how remixes are shaping the future of gaming on Farcaster.

_P.S. Farcade’s latest game has been pushed to next week as the team works on resolving some performance issues. Stay tuned—it’ll be worth the wait!_

2\. Virtuals Expands to Solana
------------------------------

The Virtuals team is thrilled to announce a major milestone: **Virtuals is expanding to Solana**! This move marks a significant step in their mission to empower builders and drive innovation across multiple ecosystems.

*   **Meteora Pool Launch**: A new Meteora Pool on Solana will open up fresh opportunities for trading and engagement.
    
*   **Strategic SOL Reserve (SSR)**: 1% of trading fees will be converted to SOL, creating a reserve to reward agents and creators.

3\. Stephancill Introduces YO Protocol
--------------------------------------

[Stephancill](https://warpcast.com/stephancill/0xfb35aed4) has launched the **YO Protocol**, a playful and experimental onchain project now live on Base. Here’s what you need to know:

*   **Token Details**:
    
    *   Contract: 0xb55bfc6e66a1b81bf0a92fb177a13e2e54e118e1
        
    *   Total Supply: 1 billion YO
        
    *   Allocation: 20% for one-sided LP (locked soon), 80% reserved for future community incentives or potential burns if no suitable use case is found.
        
*   **Super YO Feature**:
    
    *   Enter YO mode in the frame by pressing the YO button at the bottom of the screen.
        
    *   A Super YO is an onchain transaction that sends YO to a user and emits a "yo" event, always notifying the recipient.
        
    *   The amount sent can be adjusted by the contract owner, and while a fee switch exists, it remains off for now.
        

YO is an experiment, so play responsibly—price fluctuations are part of the game. Stephancill is also testing some features in production, so bear with any hiccups along the way.
