1/ How will Farcaster succeed if apps have to compete with Warpcast? If there are enough daily active users of the protocol and the underlying data and APIs are actually permissionless, people will build new and interesting apps. This has been the plan since the beginning (channels being a new thing along the way).

2/ We call it product-led protocol development. If you’re not willing to the hardest thing (retained user acquisition) yourself, why would anyone else do it on your behalf? The hard part about social networks isn’t the technology, it’s getting people to use it (and keep using it).

3/ Farcaster today offers a permissionless graph with active users (with a connected wallet). This is great for bootstrapping new networks. An example of this is @drakula. Using Farcaster just for the social graph to make onboarding better to your app and not adding anything back to the protocol is good, actually.

How do you think about incentives in this context? Curios to hear your thoughts on incentive design as it relates to user acquisition and retention

Is suggestions to protocol (FC) change open? or one should consider it as-is?

OpenAI has a very similar philosophy and it worked. It took them launching ChatGPT to blow off the lip from GPT-2 API (which was public 1.5 years before it and hardly a handful experimented with it)

Product-led protocol development is the way. The protocol graveyard is huge.

Attract the masses. Use stuff that has as little boundries as possible, like humor, to attract them and then bind them with a superchain 😏🍻
