A small head fake of a memecoin cycle and everyone bridged to Sol, lost their values and desire to make crypto something great.

It is my great honor to be nominated by President Trump as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where I had served as a Commissioner in his last administration. The CFTC plays a critical role in maintaining robust hedging and price discovery markets that are the envy of the globe. The agency is also well poised to ensure the USA leads the world in blockchain technology and innovation. I look forward to working with President Trump’s incredible financial regulatory team. 🇺🇸

Political appointees and people influential in meatspace posting on the Purple App…. It’s finally happening!

Congrats to @dwr.eth  @v and team. Significance of this should not be understated.

Restart German Nuclear. The first step out of /europoooooor

I'm at Brokdorf nuclear plant. Just came out from a visit to the reactor.

It's still in perfect shape. 

We could get it turned back on by the end of 2026 if we started today. 

Nothing in Europe can compete with the low cost of turning this plant back on.

It's more power than… https://t.co/VqDKFQwLIf

welcome to farcaster! lucky to have you here.

A few other points

1. We think choice is important. You don't have to use the wallet. We support other wallets like Rainbow and CBW via MWP. We may add other wallets in the future.

2. We want other crypto wallets to integrate Farcaster. Warpcast losing market share means other apps are offering a better UX / functionality. That's 100% a positive thing for the protocol.

I’m excited about Warpcast Wallet bc the synthesis of social + payments is a huge opportunity.

Right now content + network effects are concentrated on the major platforms, and payments are all external. This creates a lot of friction for creators.

With WW you now have those together. It’s frictionless. That means more ways to monetize, easier ways to monetize, less friction, and a higher take rate for creators.

You don’t need to overcomplicate it with tokens, NFTs, etc. Just being able to seamlessly move USDC cheaply and instantaneously opens up a huge design space that will appeal to even non crypto natives.

What is the most engaged with cast of all time?

Assume you had a billion pieces of tokenized media, you'll now get weighting factors that come from an open and adversarial market.

This can help you prioritize what to pay attention to, and give you signals that will help with things like freshness and relevance.

Our current plan

1. Grow the number of daily active users on Farcaster

2. This benefits creators because they have a larger potential audience

3. This also benefits developers because they have a large potential user base

4. Super joining Warpcast allows us to invest more time on growth (no. 1)

5. Base bringing Farcaster into Coinbase Wallet—an app that has millions of existing users—helps with growth (no. 1)

6. We’re working on several big growth initiatives—both product-led (Woj will be helping with this!) and marketing / sales led (more announcements here soon!)

7. We’re investing more time in outbound messaging. You’ve likely seen our X / Twitter account get more active recently. Will be doing more here as well.

I've been here since 2022 and this feels like peak Farcaster execution, determination, and excitement.
