Farcaster

a big appeal to Farcaster is that it brings a lot of diverse people together and makes newcomers feel like they are equal size to others. on traditional social media platforms, one's following is one's size.

but hanging here is a chance to reset that — the size of a person is larger than just one's following.

What’s the unlock that makes Farcaster different from other social media platforms? Besides the fact that it’s very small compared to the incumbents right now

huge opportunity for composability and verifiability. we were able to leverage the cookies frame because of some vague verifiability on the consumer account, which you'll never be able to do in trad social media with email first ID. so there's a closer (but still not perfectly truthy) connection to users.

permissionless becomes we less adversarial when we have an approximate identity of the user before they even click a button.

there is a tremendous amount of OPEX spend dedicated for businesses to be sure of the person they’re interacting with.

Verifiability of what?

The cookies frame was fun because it allowed users to compose their cart in the frame and then link to pay us (even easier now with new frames features)

Beyond that though I think as long as they paid us we sent them cookies right? What else needed to be verified?
