In retrospect, decentralized social network has been terrible framing for Farcaster.

Two recent frames that are better:

1. Farcaster is an economy — social network + crypto wallets, small but high GDP per capita, h/t @woj.eth @luc 

2. Programmable social — X APIs are dead, Farcaster APIs are constantly getting better, h/t @six 

It's still (mostly) decentralized under the hood, but lean into the things that it's really good at relative to the competition.

Meeting and hiring people is one of the most used denotations of “networking.” It is not reflective of the term “economy” in this sense.

I would advise you to skip the “economy” language, you’ll just push more and more people away. 

“Programmable social” is way more interesting.
