Definitely one of the best crypto reports. Key takeaways about social:

less than 1% of daily active addresses are linked to social networking, yet 10.3% of crypto projects in 2024 are social-related, revealing a significant gap. and Farcaster stands out among the top 5 hottest builder subcategories.

still early!

If you know the Farcaster ecosystem, you'll see that the projects in the image are just a small fraction, the builders on Farcaster are beyond imagination.

Perhaps my wording was off, it’s actually “less than 1% of daily active addresses are engaged in social networking.” 😂

interest in football, ecosystem growth, econ, investing, chess

I hope the linking of addresses to social networks will keep low (better privacy) but probably newer onchain users will use 1 main wallet & link it to their social.

ok lets see 👀
"more than 10% of daily active addresses are linked to social networking, yet 103% of crypto projects in 2025 are social-related" 😂

that 1% social users to 10% social projects comparison is fascinating, thank you for sharing 🫡
