It was frames. I’ll never forget frames weekend. Frames popped off which is what made degen pop off which created the feedback loop. But frames was the trigger.

it was symbiotic 

Frames don't pop off without the existing hype building around DEGEN with crypto twitter saying "they're just giving away $100s of dollars to each other via tips of Farcaster"

DEGEN making people feel fomo for not being early to Farcaster set the perfect stage for a great product launch (Frames)

we can argue in circles about what contributed "more" but my core point is Farcaster hype with Frames alone and no DEGEN doesn't happen

there needed to be a coin and we made that happen, but the team never once gave the DEGEN community due credit and instead focused on how the hype was all because of their genius Frames product

But frames made degen more then degen made Farcaster. What made degen special was Farcaster and the community not the other way around

tbh the timelines are all fuzzy for me, but yes Frames was a good idea and had people buzzing on their own

my argument is simply that DEGEN was gasoline for the fire and it rarely gets any love for the role it played from the Farcaster elite

That week before degen tipping even started was pretty explosive with frames ngl
