In the next few months, the Farcaster protocol will have the most meaningful increase in DAU decentralization since we started.

Base will be adding a Farcaster-powered feed to Coinbase Wallet—an app that has millions of existing users and wallets with balances.

They will have a paths for both existing users and new users to onboard to Farcaster, i.e. creating FIDs.

That's a meaningful, tangible step toward increasing decentralization on the protocol.

So if you're claiming that we're making changes to limit client competition, you are, in fact, factually incorrect (both in what we are working on at the protocol level as well the likely outcome after CB's launch).

There’s also a huge assumption that getting to the answer of mass adoption in the next phase of internet is capital intensive and an engineering-led finite problem, which is true in Web2.

The whole point of decentralized protocol is to acknowledge there’s no known way and something in the wild will emerge.
