As a user with a Farcaster account, I'd rather see someone's Farcaster username in your app than their ENS. I interact with people's Farcaster username, not their ENS. The namespace more closely associated with online identity and my social graph will win.

yeah that makes sense if you're a farcaster user, ENS will always have more users tho so for dapps it makes more sense to integrate it, but yeah why not both (could link your farcaster acc to your ens name too)

Why would a namespace have more users than a social network when both are mature?

maybe not per definition but theres reasons to get an ENS name for non social uses so maybe has better network effects and more users most addresses on ethereum should be named imo

DNS = namespace for websites. Social handles = namespace for people (and addresses). Two different things. I’m making the case that social handles will be the dominant namespace for people and addresses, not websites.

yeah it already kinda is right IG tiktok or twitter are dominant socially. and hopefully farcaster surpasses (one of) those. but thats still three namespaces if you use eth to receive an nft, some tokens or game/art whatever you might not have a farcaster acc but might have an ens

Again there’s no reason why a successful DNS would have more users than a successful social network. Most users are not going to get an ENS.

if everyone moves from twitter to farcaster thered still be a use for ENS names thats a pretty good reason imo ethereum is the social network and ENS names will only get cheaper see more reason to get given a free subdomain than pay for farcaster account (like cb.id)
