Update on channels

1. It's not a top priority right now

2. Channels are not expiring; if we end up moving forward with an expiration, we will give advanced notice; consider it an indefinite grace period

3. When it becomes a priority, we will resolve abandoned and squatted channels as part of the expiration; we will likely decentralize channel creation at that point — however, only when a top priority

4. What's higher priority than channels?

a. Continue to improve frames UX, especially with regard to onchain interactions

b. Improve discovery across Farcaster for anyone building / creating something onchain

c. Snapchain — need to scale the underlying protocol

d. Cheaper sign ups — top request from several existing apps with large user bases considering integrating with Farcaster

e. Migrating Sign in with Farcaster to Farcaster Connect (see FIP) to allow other clients to provide auth for apps / frames

f. Rewards and onboarding improvements around invites

What crypto app / website have you used the most in the last 6 months that *is not*:

- An exchance, e.g. Coinbase
- A wallet, e.g. Rainbow, MetaMask, Phantom
- A Farcaster client, e.g. Super, Warpcast, etc.
- Not explicitly a crypto app, e.g. X, Telegram, Discord

For example:
- Dexscreener
- OpenSea, Blur, Magic Eden etc.

Consumer social products and marketing

1. Marketing creates 1) awareness and, hopefully, 2) demand to sign up

2. For nearly all consumer apps, ~50% of new sign ups never come back to the app after the first day! This declines over the next 30 days to get to a measure of day 30 (d30) retention.

3. Ideally, this decline curve “flattens” (i.e. asymptotic) or even “smiles”. This means you have a retentive product and you can measure $X spent turns into Y downloads and into Z sign ups and into A retained users.

4. However, if your product does not have a retentive curve, then all spending will do is make metrics go up for a bit and then air will slowly come out of the balloon.

5. Retentive social products work because their core value proposition and product / functionality / features creates long-term retention. Exceptional products do that and have a viral growth component (k-factor).

6. So before spending time and money marketing, be sure you have a product that benefits from the marketing.
