Can't express how good it felt to meet and hang with so many people on here IRL at Farcon this week.

Left feeling truly inspired for what the rest of this year holds in store and lucky to be a part of something that will increasingly play such a pivotal role in bringing the world onchain.

(9/10) @greg expresses his love for gjusta, sharing a personal favorite

An unexpected benefit of FarCon was getting very high fidelity user feedback. 

We talk to users a lot over the internet, but there's a marked difference when you can go back and forth in person. 

It's changed our roadmap this week by quite a bit!
