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).

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

So you’re saying that everything built on top of farcaster by others should answer the why question? Makes sense
