summary of what i'm hearing from builders about the mini-app platforms...

- farcaster: big upgrade in dev experience with frames v2, seeing strong retention w/ improved discoverability, notifs performing crazy well, but obvs limited audience.
- worldcoin: user numbers are attractive, but meaningful lift to adapt product for the platform and actual usage / engagement underwhelming.
- telegram: still king with massive audience, stars make onboarding / monetizing non-crypto audiences way easier, easy build.

anyone have anything to add or having a different experience?

The value is in the verification. 
The destruction is also in the verification.
