Never thought of the Farcaster social graph this way, but it totally explains its cordial nature thus far. Secretly hoping these vibes will scale.

Had to collect the Network State cover by @balajis.eth https://zora.co/coin/base:0xdd980cb9ebd719c0e1898b1a93c560a003240a36?referrer=0xfd0afaa85a72468b02827c418cb3b40a9a2f5467

Most countries are small countries. More than 50% have <10M people. Almost 20% have <1M people. We've built social networks much bigger than that.

It’s been a wild week here at the @balajis.eth Network School! The common melody? Free pizza! 🍕🍕🍕 I hosted @storyprotocol for the first time here, along with their amazing Surreal World Assets Buildathon. Check it out: https://surrealworld.encode.club/ Bitcoin hit an all-time high exactly on Bitcoin Day, just a few hours before our first @ns Global Pizza Party, powered by @pizzadao (God bless their mission, LOL)! What a time to be alive!

LOL that’s unexpected — and awesome! Honored to get credited by @nounishprof in the /gmfarcaster podcast. If you’re into this kind of stuff, you should totally check out Network School.

Now priced at 6 ETH each. If you want both can bundle them for 10 ETH. Think this is severely underpriced relative to potential valuation and future use cases for on-chain identity, passports, banking, branding, and more.

Before the conclave, Bocconi ran a “Network Conclave” sim. Graph theory only — no AI, no divine signals. They surfaced Robert Prevost as a top node. Days later: Pope Leo XIV. Eigenvector = status Betweenness = info flow Coalitions = emergent power The Vatican didn’t run this. The network did. Leadership emerges from structure, not hierarchy. Forget hierarchy. Observe the graph. Link: https://www.unibocconi.it/en/news/network-conclave (now you see why @balajis.eth was right)

I wrote this back in February, but I never shared with a larger audience than the Network State writers' club. https://marwannakhaleh.substack.com/p/from-nation-states-to-network-states

Gm, figure I'd share here since some of you may be interested. I am selling Prospera.eth and Próspera.eth for 12 ETH, network state platform and startup city in Honduras with great use cases, think this is a great price for a company valued at 10B with investors like Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Balaji, Marc Andreessen, and many more. https://vision.io/name/ens/prospera.eth https://vision.io/name/ens/próspera.eth

every few months i re-up my perspective on farcaster as a network state it's remained largely unchanged for 2+ years, when back then Farcaster was much much smaller than it is today, but the same points remain true https://warpcast.com/jake/0x4e94dc66

Farcaster is unironically more of a network state than 99% of existing NS projects. Farcaster is: - fully onchain - an internet-first ideologically aligned community (as much as is possible for 1M+ FIDs) - financially beneficial to highly active and engaging users - a platform where people can crowdfund causes - creating multi-day in-person gatherings (still working on crowdfunding these gatherings - used by influential people who can potentially advocate real world practices in line with our community values
