An update on protocol priorities going into 2025. 

We think a lot of interesting things are going to be built onchain soon. Farcaster should be the programmable and credibly neutral social network that brings users, developers and blockchains together. 

But what does this mean tangibly?

Every crypto bull market started when I was on vacation.

Farcaster

Think Merkle has to maniacally focus on onboarding the entire crypto community onto farcaster.

Not being on farcaster shouldn’t be optional. They may be using other platforms, but they have a presence here. 

Be the Facebook or Instagram of crypto. 

Building blocks to expand into other domains exist, for example: channels - but focus on crypto only.

Your periodic reminder that kubernetes is a critical part of the chicken sandwich assembly line.

$ANON showcased how a group of talented builders, together with a close-knit community, can create fascinating things on an open social protocol.

this should help with thanksgiving conversations

there is something intricately beautiful about topography maps

GN. Relistened to this classic today. 

Still hits hard.

Ethereum

Today I deployed `CreateX` on the 100th EVM-based chain. I'm fucking proud of the traction and the ecosystem-wide utility the contract factory I built with @msolomon.eth has generated. On the other hand, I'm genuinely concerned about the insane number of chains out there. EVM fragmentation is fucking real, and I'm really questioning why we need this many chains in our ecosystem. I'm sorry guys, but that's not how we scale Ethereum IMHO. Either way, the contract factory is out there, free for anyone to use—even if you don't agree with me: https://github.com/pcaversaccio/createx

PS: We also have a nice website here: https://createx.rocks.

TIL there are > 100 EVM based chains out there

What are your biggest annoyances with the Warpcast app? 

Prioritizing some bugs for the next week.

I feel like I’m not using copilot as much as I could be when writing code.

Are there any good YouTube videos to learn from?

I like that we can debate decentralization and recentralization. You don't get a voice for other protocols. Ideas and challenges flow permissionlessly here. We have to settle for GitHub, but that's fine I guess.

I'm reading WebAuthn docs today, and it's basically MANGA editors setting their standards.

My favorite thing about building farcaster is that we have a real time channel of feedback from users 

Makes iteration cycles that much faster

customer support @supercast

trying to sound smart /doingnumbers

@woj.eth’s progress with supercast over the last year is impressive to watch 

- built an fc client that people are paying to use 

- created one of the most interesting social features (Superanon) 

- becoming the center of the farcaster meta
