3/ At the client level, competition is heating up, with more founders building apps that cater to diverse user needs and preferences (media-centric to transaction-centric, to others).

5/ I wrote recently about memecoins and scenecoins as a new GTM strategy. I met multiple founders who told me they’re embracing this strategy (with success!), recognizing the power of memes and internet culture to drive adoption. https://variant.fund/articles/memecoins-new-gtm-strategy/

6/ It was great to hear directly from the Farcaster team (@dwr.eth and @v) about their vision for the platform over the coming year. We’re excited to see them doubling down on crypto natives, focusing on the things that traditional social can’t do.
