P.S. — The most difficult part of building a consumer app is getting and retaining daily active users. Even more pressing for VC-backed apps (time preference is much higher). Farcaster likely needs to be 2 orders of magnitude larger before that user population is large enough for apps to be 100% focused on FC.

Other apps: @buoy — power user tool for search, paid @bountycaster — using Farcaster for distribution @caststorage — permissionlessly built on the protocol contract offering a cryptonative way to pay for storage

What is the next growth milestone for Farcaster for EOY? How do you get there with the current organic approach? Or is there a strategy for non-organic growth?

Idea: build content-oriented small & sweet product for ppl who love to read & interact w/ high quality contents/power users but too busy to follow up all the feeds. Assumption: may help new user onboard & dive in community. Wdyt. Love to hear ur thoughts.

e. should have been labelled "change the mf-ing game". That's always my strategy, and I haven't won yet, but I'm having a ball trying!

My hunch: DAU focus is premature. The flywheel gets wild if Farcaster interest graph flourishes (metric: # daily reacts). For Warpcast, I'd likely focus on depth of social (metric: # daily mutual engagements, like reacts, DMs, or casts).

I think it is interesting to assess the impact that #Degen has had on the social network. At this moment, the signaling of what generates rewards is driving a large part of the social network's activity. I believe it demonstrates that it is difficult to have initial traction without tokens.

Smart words. I'd add F. building tools that support the builders -- paid or open source. If open source, go on bounty ant grants hunting.
