Farcaster

degen and ham chains were mistakes and they set the whole farcaster ecosystem back

im posting this after reaching out to @jacek and @deployer privately, but since they both answered that they have no plans on sunsetting the chains, i want to give a heads up to all other teams building their economies on farcaster:

don't launch you own chains

1. fc ecosystem only has a chance to work if there is a lot of liquidity in one place
2. separate chains fragment the liquidity and only benefit the passive token holders (less sell pressure) and mev bot operators (arbitrage between chains and pools). actual users pay in UX, mev and fees
3. devs who want to launch integrations with these projects are fucked because most infrastructure providers don't support these small chains

im building supercast wallet and it's beyond frustrating to see how close we were to having something truly great and how much harder it is to build a good UX on top of these projects because they selfishly decided to launch their own chains

Ham chain is currently 10x cheaper than Base, but still uses Base. This makes it feasible to process hundreds of thousands of onchain tips every day on behalf of users. Ham and other coins are constantly be transferred throughout the Farcaster ecosystem because of this and people are thoroughly enjoying themselves. This is only the beginning. I am bullish on Ham chain. 

Ham = Base = Ethereum

Absolutely no hard feelings towards woj. We have different opinions. I've been building on Ethereum since 2017 and as a builder and EVM maxi I absolutely love a chain that is uses ETH as gas and is extremely low cost.

imo ham is the most interesting thing out here to me, and frankly, im not sure how much else at the moment would keep me (and i think alot of others too) interested in farcaster right without it. im just a user tho, i dont know much, but thats how it is to me. i like ham, i like base, i like solami, i like hamchain, and mfers do what they want, always has been

Meme shiller, Coder, Prompt engineer. Open to contribute to new projects. DMs are open.

right exactly. (one of) the only things out here scratch the itch of the adventurously/experimental minded out here imo

(also shout out @mintclub i would also put up there as other project that still continuing to keep me excited and interested, come to think of it - and , not coincidentally i think, there is crossover there with ham eco too haha so…)

💯 🎯 

My thoughts too. I have been in crypto since 2018, had a lot of fun tinkering with miners and such. Right now I really enjoy diving into new projects on Farcaster, Ham being my favorite at the moment.

FWIW. Without ham I would buy back my checkmark on x and be gone from this place that suppresses my reach because a meme I made hurt some sweaty dudes feelings.
