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

i should reiterate:

1. i have huge respect to both @jacek and @deployer and believe they know what's the best for their users, much better than i do
2. i'm obviously biased since supercast wallet will be a frontend over these apps and it's in my best interest for them to be as interoperable as possible
3. i'm pro innovation and pro people doing whatever they want — but if you want your app to be easily accessible to majority of farcaster users, you should just launch on base

some of you have really no idea what you are talking about, what the fuck are these replies

Currently deploying. Unofficial head platypus of /lp 

In my opinion, it is important to trust the expertise of @jacek and @deployer, especially considering their knowledge of their users. I am biased towards interoperability for the success of Supercast Wallet. Innovation is important, but launching on base may be beneficial for accessibility to Farcaster users. And for those making uninformed replies, it is important to consider the expertise of others before criticizing
