degen and ham chains were mistakes and they set the whole farcaster ecosystem back im posting this after reaching out to @jacek and @deployer privately, but since they both answered that they have no plans on sunsetting the chains, i want to give a heads up to all other teams building their economies on farcaster: don't launch you own chains 1. fc ecosystem only has a chance to work if there is a lot of liquidity in one place 2. separate chains fragment the liquidity and only benefit the passive token holders (less sell pressure) and mev bot operators (arbitrage between chains and pools). actual users pay in UX, mev and fees 3. devs who want to launch integrations with these projects are fucked because most infrastructure providers don't support these small chains im building supercast wallet and it's beyond frustrating to see how close we were to having something truly great and how much harder it is to build a good UX on top of these projects because they selfishly decided to launch their own chains

same situation w/ embedded wallets. lots of incentives to launch your own chain. 0 incentives not to. tragedy of the commons

didn’t catch the analogy. isn’t embedded wallet just a wallet to abstract seed keys? what am i missing?

woj is complaining about the lack of interoperability between chains, and how hard that makes your job as a developer. same dynamic exists w/ embedded wallet providers: capsule wallets don't work with privy, which doesn't work with dynamic, which doesn't work with smart wallets, etc. devs don't care about fragmenting identity long-term because it gives their app a better ux in the short-term. same w/ L3s

yeah the issue is there are a lot of normie friends who sadly can't be trained to download rainbow, go on some third party site to mint nft and then come bk to /outpaint to print your merch. its a lot easier to use an email, credit card and be done with it. my solution to this is to build a 'crypto-native mode' so people like me can be happy and mom can be happy. lol. like most things in life it depends. who's your audience. i find dev who will go down the embedded route will actually loose customers long term, b/c you're asking them to port funds to a new wallet and I already have a wallet. i simply just shut the app. can't be bothered.
