first, i’m joining warpcast to work on user growth my new job is simple: if dau grows → good, if not → my fault we are betting on crypto to be the new form of content and what will turn farcaster into the most entertaining place on the internet we are taking everything special about farcaster today - apps, tokens, frames, communities - and we are turning them into the most viral and fun experiences possible

what will happen with super? unfortunately, this means that we will stop the active development — my focus will remain on growing farcaster, but with warpcast i know many people rely on super in their everyday life and i will do my best to build a smooth transition so: - super stays live for at least the next 3 months - all active memberships will be refunded - after that, we'll likely open source it and pass the torch to a new maintainer more updates on this soon

how did we get here? over a year ago i took a life-sized bet on farcaster and went all-in on super back then, it was called supercast and it started as a client for farcaster power users we became the go-to app for scheduled posts, threads, and multi-account management but we found the most success somewhere else — in the crypto native, fun features, like degen tipping, superanon or claiming airdrops this is why in November, we decided to open up, launch a wallet, a mobile app, and go all in on growth and consumer social features

when i started super, farcaster was tiny going full time on a self funded business, fully dependent on an unproven, small protocol was truly contrarian but it felt right, i was excited about the tech, the vision, and exceptional early users i could onboard by being farcaster native https://warpcast.com/woj.eth/0xa11bbf47

fast forward a year — farcaster is approaching 1m signups with 50k daily active users (even more counting the readers) super grew into the #2 farcaster client, hitting $200k revenue from 8k paying users we had just unlocked free access, with our mobile app and wallet ready to ship next challenge: raising the seed round https://warpcast.com/woj.eth/0x02c1e36d

my main motivation to do all of this? making farcaster globally relevant i believe farcaster is the most important thing happening in crypto right now — and maybe third overall, after space travel and agi i personally really don’t care about another rollup, another L1, or another crypto infra layer i want to build things that my friends want and need, and farcaster is both it’s a social app that makes it easy to build rewards systems, new tokens or apps that exist straight in the feed. but it's also something bigger — an uncensorable, truly open social network enabling real free speech, genuine diversity of views, and a flourishing ecosystem of apps and algorithms seriously, if you are working in crypto and going through an identity crisis right now, come work on farcaster — we have a lot of hard challenges to solve but it will be worth it https://x.com/superwoj/status/1886085507991417287

so, when @v reached out and suggested i should join warpcast instead of raising the seed round, i asked one question: “will joining warpcast increase our chances of making farcaster globally relevant vs building super on my own?” then we both concluded that the answer is “yes” and the deal was done
