A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Two opinions I’m starting to form:

1. In the future most data (80%) will be stored in one or more decentralized protocols

2. Those protocols will not use the EVM in any way

Bullish crypto, bearish ETH

This aligns with what I’ve been seeing too. The future of decentralized data feels more IPFS/Filecoin/Ceramic/Urbit than anything EVM-native. Curious: what’s your thesis for why EVM won’t play a role at all?

My casts are immutable, but my opinions might get a soft fork.

EVM is the MySpace of our industry, the only thing keeping it afloat is momentum and network effects (I don’t underestimate either though). It’s been over-engineered with excessive abstraction and dependencies.
