Is Farcaster too Base-centric? A common piece of feedback is "Farcaster is only for people in the Base ecosystem." Fair / accurate parts of this criticism: most onchain activity for Farcaster users is on Base, there are 3x as many connected Ethereum addresses as Solana addresses on the protocol, Warpcast's wallet does not support Solana. We also do our USDC pay outs on Base. Misconceptions: Farcaster, the protocol, is 99% offchain—we use a blockchain-like system called Snapchain (previously Hubs)—and the part that is onchain is on OP Mainnet (still part of the Superchain). We support a bunch of other chains via mini apps (frames) and Warpcast wallet: Arbitrum, Polygon, Gnosis, Degen, Zora, Unichain. The reality is Farcaster users index on 1) Ethereum and 2) apps. And Base is clearly the leader in that category—but entirely based on their own execution. Relevant casts below: https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x3c85c5d5 https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x3304f7ab

Still think Ronin would be a natural add and bring some energy if you were interested in further broadening geographical diversity (ph and lat am)

Why would people sign up for Farcaster because we added Ronin?

That’s a good question. Wouldn’t happen unless there was a strategic collab unlock with sky Mavis or one of the teams building now that Ronin is open. Maybe they wouldn’t be interested as you tube and discord or heavily used already. Though I think about folks who have time to engage with gaming often have time for social media and farcade not withstanding, I dont see heaps of gamers here… so would pose a question… can you substantially build dau or qDAU without attracting a younger audience. I have less than .0001 % of your insights, though I’ve also wondered if part of future fc growth would come from the next generation of folks who don’t have a social media home base - maybe they graduate from TikTok?
