Social networks need global name spaces to get mainstream adoption.

Why have we not settled on DNS (+ ENS) as the de facto global namespace? Imho the one questionable design decision of Farcaster

By using NFTs isn’t Farcaster in essence including the use of ENS in its purple check verification process? I could use one of my ENS names for validation but the PFP would look boring:)

I was referring to the usernames specifically.. I agree with Chris that one needs global namespaces, but in a way, DNS/ENS is a global namespace. First time i actually read the docs for the Farcaster Name Registry now 😅 https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol The FND should be on top of ENS imho

I think it may be a little early to say ENS being the defacto name registry. Farcaster can merge its fname with ENS when things mature. I guess a separated name registry during early stage give them more flexibility and speed to develop the product (e.g. they can subsidize gas fee for users, ENS can’t)
