say you're able to grow qDAU and successfully empower other clients (hypothetically).

another client (a non twitter clone) achieves escape velocity user growth, far exceeding any other on the protocol.

why wouldn't they fork farcaster? they could presumably achieve consensus of the new thing with enough scale.

One of the hardest parts building in web3.

There are examples that come to mind like Base, Uniswap, 1inch, Zora, Blur, etc.

But it’s a tough problem. I don’t know how we best get there, but in the end, imho apps and user communities should win and get most of the value (from underlying protocols?)
