Protocols will eventually all just be API end points. It’s already starting.

An open API can implement a protocol yet a protocol is different from an API because it exists as a specification for communication or actions. An open API is also typically owned by the entity running it while a protocol doesn't necessarily need to be run in the same way depending on what it defines. An example: HTTP as a protocol describes how we all communicate and AWS S3 uses HTTP to function but as an API is not a protocol itself.

There is (hopefully) a financial incentive for others to keep the protocol going when the team behind it stops

to me protocol = decentralized (use whatever sliding scale for decentralization you want) could either be permissionless (farcaster) or decentralized (ethereum) an open API I'd define as an API anyone can access. This includes controlled by one party and paid e.g. Twitter, Reddit While a protocol can be run by you to provide the API for your needs or leverages a blockchain (oh wait you can run a node...) - there's a pattern here Farcaster without the ability to run hubs to me is a Warpcast API. If you want to use the Farcaster example

An Open API is like a set of tools that lets developers connect to and use a service’s features or data, often made public so anyone can build with it. A Protocol is more like a set of rules that defines how systems communicate, ensuring everything works together smoothly. In short, APIs use protocols to let systems talk to each other.
