Farcaster

One sign that a new social platform is succeeding is that the initial top creators are mostly new and not from existing apps.

Many new crypto social apps have tried to onboard existing CryptoTwitter influencers whereas Farcaster has bootstrapped a new creator class.

Awesome to see and congrats to the Farcaster OGs!

. @dwr.eth probably has better insights but I would highlight a few things that worked: 
- mobile first, easy onboarding 
- relentless focus on onboarding quality users and engaging them
- maniacal focus on user feedback
- quality engagement led to better dev activity 
-  product let protocol development feedback loop

From your perspective what worked for FC as compared to all the other platforms?

Yeah, I think platforms force the best creators to have unique content based on the form factor and early vibes. Excited to see how Warpcast culture and content evolves with more users.

CT influencers doing the same schtick won’t work either cause the culture/vibe is different. The ones that will grow here are the ones that change their content across platforms. I’m here for that, most have a lot to add but shitposting was what worked for CT

A wonderful shake up & a fantastic new beginning

Everybody starting fresh!

We love to see it
