Degen

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

Let’s breakdown and digest the conversation that is happening in real-time:

Debating L3 Chains in Farcaster: Fragmentation vs. Innovation

@woj.eth raised concerns about launching multiple L3s, citing liquidity fragmentation and integration hurdles, which could negatively affect the user experience.

Key Counterpoints from the Community:

	1.	Experimentation as a Catalyst for Growth: @tdlr.eth and @kenny emphasized that diverse L3s foster unique solutions, potentially uncovering new opportunities for the ecosystem.
	2.	Decentralization for Resilience: @corbin.eth argued that spreading infrastructure aligns with Web3’s ethos of distributing power and increasing network robustness.
	3.	Tailored Ecosystem Development: Multiple builders highlighted that separate L3s can cater to specific use cases, optimizing performance for distinct functions.
 Any points I missed for that are a counter to @woj.eth comment below, and definitely pro-arguments as well.
