Part of me is dreading the inevitable future of 90% of frames being 404's because they're powered by centralized servers, but other part of me feels that this is more reason to embrace Farcaster as something more ephemeral (as intended, but more than I'd prefer).

Unfortunately frames have no client side logic (great for security), it must all be done server side (and rendered into an image for output). Best case, could make gateways that process logic from immutable sources and renders images.

Degen or warps to cover ipfs payment sort of like discord hosted servers but way more granular. Or maybe this could be done at the channel level

I don't think most frames are intended/designed to survive, but maybe that's for the best? Maybe we should embrace 7-day-frames or something.

I lean towards data preservation and reliability as well but my solace in this dilemma is the reality that only a small fraction of Farcaster users are aware that their casts get pruned as they go over their storage limits.

Interesting. Def think the ephemeral space has legs. Learned a bit experimenting with d33m (chat during /football matches). One apps noise is another’s value.

it would be extremely bullish if MPC frames capture the market.
