I don't care if your token is the biggest on Farcaster, there is no incentive  for me to build my protocol / product / mini app with it.

Founders want their own swap fees, own allocations, own controls. 

After the fact doesn't count either.

While I'm at it, building a Farcaster client seems absolutely bizarre to me and a waste of resources imo.

So a Farcaster client seems strange to you, unless Coinbase does it, because they’re a big name? Come on, man. If you feel that strongly, you’re welcome to return any Degen tokens you got from the airdrop here: 0x06A19654e0872Ba71c2261EA691Ecf8a0c677156

It does seem strange to me, because how does it benefit the token — Tipping / locking is at an all time low. 

How is a Farcaster client going to fix that?

Sell it to me please.

If $DEGEN is struggling on the first party app, how is making the pool of users even smaller on a third party app going to improve it?

I’m glad to see you can see the issues. But my stance is the same. I don’t see a client needed to fix this. These issues could all be fixed using the first party client. 

And FYI, welcome to the Internet people can disagree with your takes regarding what other founders should do. They can also disagree with the direction of a product.

Asking me to refund my airdrops because I disagree with you is laughable. Particularly to someone who spent almost 6 months building on the L3 trying to help it have a purpose.

Gg and best of luck with the client.

Tipping was clunky with the vault and low rewards. We're removing that friction, no more vaults, just a simple wallet and a tip button built into the app. Easy UX, fast tipping. We still believe good content deserves rewards, and we’ll keep testing what works.

It’s kind of like choosing between Firefox or Chrome. Same internet, different vibe. Sometimes a new browser just feels better.
