zaalcaster guide

The app is gated by Sign In With Farcaster. The owner (the configured fid) gets everything. Everyone else gets a read-only view: Feed, Channels, Search, POIDH. No write action exists in the guest surface - the server enforces it, not just the UI. Nothing a guest does can post, like, or spend on the owner's behalf.

cmd+K anywhere: jump to a tab, open a profile with @name, search, or Ask ZAO.

ZOE is the ZAO's assistant agent. It lives on Telegram, but zaalcaster plugs into the same two surfaces it works from:

• Tasks - the ZOE card on Daily reads the shared team tracker. Tapping done completes the task on the real board - no Telegram round trip.
• Decisions - the decision box writes a permanent record to the tracker; ZOE mirrors it into the knowledge graph.
• Ask ZAO - cmd+K, type a topic, pick Ask ZAO. Searches months of meetings and decisions: "what did we decide about the Empire API?" gets a real answer.

• Everything previews before sending; the confirm tap is the send. The app never posts on its own.
• Schedule: pick a datetime, queue it - a cron sends it even with the app closed. Queued posts show on Daily.
• Cross-post: mirror the same cast to X and Bluesky in one action.

Empire Builder (empirebuilder.world) wraps a community in leaderboards, boosters, and a treasury - with or without a token. The playbook: don't launch a token first. Stand up a tokenless empire, build real energy on a leaderboard, tokenize later when there's something for the token to amplify.

On the tab: your empire card (leaderboards, boosters, rewards, your rank), view-leaderboard (top 25 with Farcaster names), a paste-a-tx-hash lookup showing exactly who a distribution paid, the ecosystem's top empires, and a capabilities catalog marking what's live vs documented.

Needs: a wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or a Farcaster client's built-in one) and a minute. No token, no funds move.

1. Empire tab -> + create a tokenless empire.
2. Name it (bio + logo optional).
3. Connect wallet - this wallet becomes the empire's owner, use the one you mean to keep.
4. Sign & deploy - your wallet shows the exact sentence you're signing, nothing hidden. The app never holds a key; your signature is the only thing that can deploy.
5. Copy the empire id it returns, put the owner wallet into config.js (empireOwnerWallet) - the tab shows your card from then on.

No "attach to my Farcaster profile" option on purpose: a profile-attached empire is permanent - that profile can never create another. Create standalone.

A booster multiplies leaderboard points for people who hold something - reward your actual community.

1. Empire tab -> + add booster on your card.
2. Type: ERC20 (hold a token), NFT (hold from a collection), or reputation (QUOTIENT score).
3. Paste the contract address (skipped for reputation).
4. Multiplier 1.1 - 5.0.
5. Minimum to qualify in normal amounts - e.g. 1000000 for a 1M floor. Decimals stay 18 unless the token is unusual; the math is exact.
6. Name + symbol (display only), connect wallet, sign. Live within a minute.

POIDH ("pics or it didn't happen", poidh.xyz): fund a pot, people submit proof, the pot pays. The tab reads any bounty live - round chips for the BCZ rounds, or paste any bounty id for the pot, status, and every claim with images. Claiming itself happens on poidh.xyz (it's an on-chain action from your wallet).

zaalcaster is one person's client, built to be forked. Name yours <your-farcaster-username>caster. Identity, channels, brands, voice, and every integration knob live in config.js + env vars - the README walks the whole thing.
