Farcaster

A question I’m pondering: Farcaster is a product-led protocol, but is Warpcast the right product?

Twitter is the smallest of all at-scale social networks. Although Twitter-fans will tell you it has outsized status for its size, it’s never been able to break 1B users.

What would Farcaster look like if Warpcast was modeled after Instagram or TikTok? How would that affect protocol priorities and roadmap?

Twitter is word nerd app

Crypto is full of nerds

Imo it’s uniquely hard for crypto people to build anything other than nerd apps

Dan and V are brilliant but I think would struggle to build a coolness powered app (like most of us)

The diff is if they build Farcaster right, somebody else can do it for them

I think it's the right product for the founding team, the initial audience, and the kinds of interactions that this group has with each other.

But I do not think that it's the best experience for close friends, and jury is out on whether it's the biggest potential product.

Exactly. Just like Matthew said, it's the right thing for this team to build for this audience to prove what the network can do. 

The beauty will be in the persistent identity that can move between apps seamlessly, and that's when you'll see ppl move from X to Warpcast. When your FID also is your IG account as well as everything else, it'll be easier to use Warpcast over X.
