A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

A common mistake devs make when learning Solidity:

Writing smart contracts as if they were databases. 

They are not.

Contracts are mission-critical scripts that cost money to deploy and interact with.

Anything that can be done off-chain should be done there.

Co-Founder at sablier.com, and open-source developer. I have a broad range of interests, including longevity, epistemology, physics, and psychology.

Smart contracts are designed for specific, mission-critical tasks and incur costs for deployment and interaction. Off-chain solutions are more efficient and cost-effective for tasks that don’t require the security and immutability of the blockchain.
maybe that's the reason not all Devs succeed in smart contracts work.
