HIGHER

What's next for Higher?

YOUR MISSION: 100x your agency. Work on the thing that takes you higher – a project in line with your life's work. Align yourself with $higher to bet on the network's collective success.

OUR MISSION: Help folks in the network find and work on their life's work, leveraging the people, ethos, and brand of Higher + onchain, open infrastructure. Align them with $higher.

NORTH STAR METRIC: # of people who have started sustainable, personally-aligned projects that leverage $higher.

I've been giving this a lot of thought. 2024 was a movie. De facto leaders like @lght.eth and @martin + dozens of active community members put us in an incredible position: Higher is the highest-signal network on Farcaster, with a widely resonant open source brand and a rich ethos that has found its way into many community projects, new and old.

In 2025, we need to build on those foundations in a focused, organized way.

Higher is the answer to many of the ecosystem's questions.

Base needs builders. Farcaster needs qDAUs. 

But what *kind* of builders? What *kind* of users?

Higher is the answer. This network has attracted the highest signal builders and creators and community leaders, those that are positive-sum, believe in onchain innovation, and are optimistic about specific futures.

The network is the product. Higher needs to continue building a great network, very intentionally.

Higher together, one person at a time.

Higher is farcaster originated, what stats shows that it has attracted the highest signal builders? Seem to think they were already here and just found something to believe in

I don't think we necessarily attracted them to Farcaster, but anecdotally, many folks have talked to have said they stuck around Farcaster through the bear because of /higher. 

Another anecdote: /higher was one of the few channels that seemed to get more active when prices were down.

+ just look at the people actively building and creating in the Higher ecosystem over the last year :)
