POV: there is no influx of people waiting to join Farcaster once it goes permissionless other than airdrop farmers. 1. We use Ethereum, so anyone anti-crypto is won’t be convinced in the near term 2. Existing apps are too similar to Twitter, with way less content New types of apps / behaviors for growth.

As of right now, beyond a differentiated graph, not much beyond a few NFT features. Discove SQL power user stuff is pretty cool. A lot of promise though!

FID and fname contract goes to the protocol, not to Merkle. We will monetize with subscriptions: https://warpcast.notion.site/Monetization-2a7eb9291336450988fd62fd246add13

Nice Will the proto contract Merkle for maintenance? I suppose that’s up to proto governance. Any thoughts on that?

Currently my username shows up as @ekuhn.eth , is that the fname which will cost $10 per year ? Where do I see the FID now? Or is this yet to be completed? What is the thinking around ENS names as an equivalent identifier? Could link your FID in ENS record
