Believe in Something

Farcaster

In retrospect, decentralized social network has been terrible framing for Farcaster.

Two recent frames that are better:

1. Farcaster is an economy — social network + crypto wallets, small but high GDP per capita, h/t @woj.eth @luc 

2. Programmable social — X APIs are dead, Farcaster APIs are constantly getting better, h/t @six 

It's still (mostly) decentralized under the hood, but lean into the things that it's really good at relative to the competition.

This checks out. 

Little Internets. 

I wrote last year that the lines between product, community, and market were blurring. 

Every network will have its own brand, economy, and product suite. 

Some of these networks will overlap. 

They’re not “communities,” they’re not “DAOs,” they’re not *just* “economies.”

They’re little internets.
