Farcaster

1/ How will Farcaster succeed if apps have to compete with Warpcast?

If there are enough daily active users of the protocol and the underlying data and APIs are actually permissionless, people will build new and interesting apps.

This has been the plan since the beginning (channels being a new thing along the way).

Twitter's biggest asset is not its client features, but its social graph. Every new "discoverability" platform fails in front of it. It is the cold start problem.

FC's fix is to solve this, by making that social graph a public good property. WC is just a pipeline to enrich it.
