One Web3 user-driven ecosystem I’d bet on is Farcaster.

Why it’s built to outlast:

Truly Decentralized Identity: Users own their handles and social graph through onchain data (via Ethereum and Optimism), meaning no platform can deplatform them.

Open Protocol Design: Anyone can build clients (like Warpcast) on top of the Farcaster protocol, encouraging innovation without monopolies.

Aligned Incentives: Users and developers both benefit from the ecosystem’s growth—value flows to participants, not just to a central platform.

Community-Led Growth: Its invite-only bootstrapping and dev-centric onboarding foster a strong, aligned early user base.

Farcaster isn’t just a network—it’s a protocol that treats users as first-class citizens. That’s why it’s primed to stand the test of time.
