what you see about African focus communities on Farcaster

Where we are and where we're going

1. Recently, we've seen a decent increase in daily active users (DAU). Between 200K and 300K users open Warpcast every month. This needs to be 10-100x greater for Farcaster to be sustainable.

2. We've also seen a lot of previously "churned" users reactivate on Farcaster.

3. We've significantly upgraded our developer UX with mini apps (formerly frames) and wallet. 70K+ funded wallets.

4. We've scaled our USDC rewards programs for content, mini apps and invites. $250K+ in USDC rewards and growing.

5. We've introduced a new series of verifications to help developers better understand users on the protocol. Over 150K+ users have at least one verification.

6. We've launched airdrop offers, allowing developers to target Farcaster users who use their apps via mini apps.

7. Snapchain is launching soon. It's a novel, blockchain-like distributed system that will allow us to scale the protocol for the next 10x.

8. We've grown the team by 50% since the start of the year.

1/3

In the next few months, the Farcaster protocol will have the most meaningful increase in DAU decentralization since we started.

Base will be adding a Farcaster-powered feed to Coinbase Wallet—an app that has millions of existing users and wallets with balances.

They will have a paths for both existing users and new users to onboard to Farcaster, i.e. creating FIDs.

That's a meaningful, tangible step toward increasing decentralization on the protocol.

So if you're claiming that we're making changes to limit client competition, you are, in fact, factually incorrect (both in what we are working on at the protocol level as well the likely outcome after CB's launch).

Of course, that's your contention. You're a first day ChatGPT image prompter. You just got finished converting popular internet memes to anime — Studio Ghibli probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next week when you get to SpongeBob, and then you're gonna be talkin' about how the visual styles of late 90s Nickelodeon translate perfectly to the format. That's gonna last until next month — you're gonna be in here regurgitating Karpathy, talkin' about, you know, the superior techniques available in the upcoming Midjourney v7.

This week, I'll be doing a lot of reading and building.

Farcaster Devs

Airdrop Offers have flexible actions:

- add/use a frame
- cast in a channel
- follow an account

Here's the latest offer that went out today for /higher.

The team behind the Farcade project deserves a raise.

What is happening on Farcaster lately is super fun.
