IMHO, it’s really important for Farcaster as a protocol to distance itself from both Coinbase and Base (a centralized L2), remain chain-agnostic, and actively promote this alongside its decentralized nature. I know many will scratch their heads at me saying this here, but someone has to.

Our core protocol contracts are on OP Mainnet. Frames work with any EVM chain. Base is just hungry and have embraced Farcaster.

thank you for making this clear, dan. i've been trying to get people outside the FC circles to understand that Farcaster is not fundamentally Base-centric, i.e. the protocol is driven by decentralization and the urge to decentralize, but the perception of the Base connection seems established.

their main social platform is x and they're reading more than they post. it's a mix of ppl working on fintech/db tech/distributed sys/crypto. only some are crypto native whereas others have been observing from the sidelines. it appears to me that if one consumes x only, the impression is that fc is a base/cb product

If they are primarily on X but they deeply care about decentralization? :)

nah this is me and the crypto native folks. i just want them to understand there is an alternative to x! yet then the argument is: but it's essentially the same thing i guess the main reason we (incl you) are also on x is because so much is happening there, i.e. it's still the place where you reach the most people

Right but I don’t think your original cast is the reason they aren’t using Farcaster.

i agree, as of yet. u and me believe that decentralization is important and its importance will become more apparent over time tho, so even if it's not FCs primary pmf, which could be in what you're exploring now (make money + friends), the fact that it can be truly decentralized will be a crucial argument. Base decentralization is unproven and nobody knows if it ever will be.
