Farcaster

degen and ham chains were mistakes and they set the whole farcaster ecosystem back

im posting this after reaching out to @jacek and @deployer privately, but since they both answered that they have no plans on sunsetting the chains, i want to give a heads up to all other teams building their economies on farcaster:

don't launch you own chains

1. fc ecosystem only has a chance to work if there is a lot of liquidity in one place
2. separate chains fragment the liquidity and only benefit the passive token holders (less sell pressure) and mev bot operators (arbitrage between chains and pools). actual users pay in UX, mev and fees
3. devs who want to launch integrations with these projects are fucked because most infrastructure providers don't support these small chains

im building supercast wallet and it's beyond frustrating to see how close we were to having something truly great and how much harder it is to build a good UX on top of these projects because they selfishly decided to launch their own chains

honestly ya. i don't have much technical knowledge in this field, but just i don't see the need for multiple L3. as they truly say, they just spread the liquidity and weaken the base and FC.

I agree with @woj.eth — it was way too premature to launch an L3, and I don’t know that there’s ever a need for one even later in a project. Just adds friction and fragmentation. In my own experience of dealing with the L3, it was the opposite of fun.

Just because we can doesn’t mean we should.
