Poll on app / protocol name question Varun asked yesterday

Note: this is not a formal vote, but a input into the discussion.

See the reply for additional context.

What do you think of this response to a curious question about why farcaster, rather than just using bluesky?

I am hiring Farcaster devs.

As context, I’m the former CTO of Coinbase. While there I drove our transformation from a four asset company (BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC) to the infinite asset backend Coinbase has now. I also championed and led the USDC launch at Coinbase, taking it from $0 to $1. And worked closely with @dwr.eth, who has been a friend for 10+ years.

So, if you want to build real crypto products — not gambling, not vaporware — come work with us. I think Farcaster is exceptionally underrated as a protocol and want to use it as the backbone for a new kind of crypto-first school.

To motivate: imagine if every problem you solved in college doubled as a portfolio piece — as a *proof-of-learning* NFT added to your public ENS.

That would build a new kind of AI-proof verifiable resume. And that is what we want to build on Farcaster. So, come work with us!

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

After seeing @july make his, I too have broken down and jumped on the bandwagon…

Farcaster is social media for the new internet

I was 2,492 km away from today's mystery location 📍. Can you beat me?

 rekt. I am in shambles.

Co-hosted a Farcaster frames (now mini apps) workshop with @samuellhuber.eth and @rish today. Here are the slides from the talk! We should have a recording up later

My 2c on Farcaster vs Warpcast & how it relates to building a multi-client protocol:

🤷‍♂️ Clients don’t always have to read all state or perform all writes. ETH has multiple client types, and FC protocol can too.

🌏 Under this framework, the protocol already has a much richer ecosystem of clients than it gets credit for. All mini-apps (FKA frames) are clients utilizing some combo of FC's social graph, content, associated wallets, DCs...etc.

🌐 I view Warpcast as a hub through which we view & interact with the FC protocol, not some global reference implementation every other clients has to emulate to give or get value. This has already been true for some time now, and rebranding the app to Farcaster just makes it more clear.

🫵 Permissionless data (and to some extent, writes) means anyone can still build any type of client they want, including one has the exact functionality as Warpcast, just like anyone can choose to run/write any ETH client they want.

Thx for coming to my TED talk.

Well…that should settle it then…

48%…48%

@dwr.eth if we can’t get to a 69% majority, I propose we settle this with Team Warpcast vs Team Farcaster in a @farcade battle. @bracky can run the side action.

Your participation is appreciated

Our original thesis was incorrect: a decentralized permissionless protocol would allow other clients to grow users for the protocol.

This evolved into product-led protocol development (see blog post).

And even that has fallen short on the most important thing developers want: daily active users and user growth.

Updated version of this philosophy:

1. Make the underlying data and APIs as open as possible

2. Ensure that accounts / identities are portable and sovereign

3. Build an opinionated, high-quality client that is relentlessly focused on user growth. There will be reasonable criticism early on "how can I trust you won't stop building the protocol", but time and consistent shipping on protocol promises will earn trust (and assuming 1 and 2 actually work).

4. At some sufficient scale—not sooner than 10M+ DAU at the protocol—work on further decentralizing the protocol / hardening it from capture. And because you have a big client, you can do that.
