Update on channels 1. It's not a top priority right now 2. Channels are not expiring; if we end up moving forward with an expiration, we will give advanced notice; consider it an indefinite grace period 3. When it becomes a priority, we will resolve abandoned and squatted channels as part of the expiration; we will likely decentralize channel creation at that point — however, only when a top priority 4. What's higher priority than channels? a. Continue to improve frames UX, especially with regard to onchain interactions b. Improve discovery across Farcaster for anyone building / creating something onchain c. Snapchain — need to scale the underlying protocol d. Cheaper sign ups — top request from several existing apps with large user bases considering integrating with Farcaster e. Migrating Sign in with Farcaster to Farcaster Connect (see FIP) to allow other clients to provide auth for apps / frames f. Rewards and onboarding improvements around invites

5. Why aren't channels more of a priority? Our sense is channels work when Farcaster itself is growing, i.e. channels are not a growth driver for Farcaster, more a feature / tool for deepening engagement

BDOWC request Please make it easier to copy a CA or a wallet address from a cast on mobile. Right now my steps are to copy the whole cast into a new cast and then I can copy a portion of the text that want - example > “Your full deposit address is 0x2f3359441c95255394545cf8eb608832e02ee8c2. You can send ETH directly to this address.”

Does that engagement lead to retention? And how do you think about balancing retention vs. growth?

Totally agree on this, and where it falls on the priority list.

When you do decentralize channels, would there be a way to make it an option when you create the channel for it to be totally open without membership or with membership? If people want to gate their channel they can but if they don’t want to then it’s open for anyone to post into. This is way different than the current model which is you still have to do an action to join the channel. The really shitty feeling is searching to post into a main channel and it’s grey and you then don’t.

You know my stance and I also agree At this time the work would be more beneficial elsewhere.

This too many makes more sense,,, channels will drive retention, but “the front page of the (onchain) internet” needs to drive traffic
