What does Farcaster look like in the near term?

At some point this summer:

1. Coinbase Wallet will have a Farcaster-powered feed in their mobile app with millions of existing users. This will be the most significant increase to practical decentralization of the protocol since the beginning.

2. Our app will be called Farcaster. Easy to explain to the average person—"download Farcaster in the App Store".

3. Sign ups for most people will be free. Link your X / Twitter account and no payment required.

4. Wallet will be available on web. And thanks to auth addresses, no more "please open your phone to continue using this mini app".

5. Wallet and mini apps will expand their support to multiple chains. If there's an interesting app in crypto, the goal will be to have it play nicely with Farcaster.

6. We're going to continue scaling our weekly reward programs: iterating on casting and building mini apps, but we're also working on a new version of the invite program that rewards referrals AND retention.

Law & Policy

My written input to the SEC Crypto Task Force is now live on their website (third from the bottom)

In this letter, I propose a three-step test to analyze the "efforts of others" prong of Howey, consistent with caselaw.

Success is a byproduct of perseverance, not luck. Keep going, even when it feels impossible.

Challenges are opportunities dressed in disguise.

In the silence, we find the answers we’ve been seeking, if only we listen closely enough.

Take risks, break boundaries, explore more.

Sometimes the hardest part of growth is accepting that change takes time and patience to fully bloom.

Not every road is straight, but the detours teach lessons that the straight path never could.

Every challenge is an opportunity for growth, embrace discomfort and trust the journey, even when it's hard.

Better, use social signals to determine the “right” token

Fitness

These are the data points of my bronchitis (consequence of flu25). 

Coughing started Feb 3rd and ended up in a tough bronchitis after few days. My body was already fighting the virus from Jan 27th (vitals were well above typical range). Wearables give us a lot of insight even before the noticeable symptoms appear. 

I still have some cough now, but it’s mild and vitals are again the in the typical range. Slowly restarted training. I hope to be out of this mess…

Honeypot detection will probably be important for the cashtag feature here. 

Top coin showing up is a fake $coins at 10m market cap with $1 in liquidity.
