A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Almost every fund, DAO, or custodial service runs on Safe 🧶 

It became the standard. But only for people who don’t manage money alone. Where assets are shared, and responsibility is distributed — Safe fits. It works, it scales, it disappears. But for the average user? Zero emotional connection ⤵️

2/6 Because this isn’t about “make it easier.” It’s about “make it proper.” The entry barrier is high — roles, multisigs, thresholds, modules. And yeah, it makes sense… if you read the docs. If not — you close the tab and go back to MetaMask. It’s dumb, but familiar. You know how to live with it ⤵️

5/6 Safe isn’t a wallet. It’s a framework. But users don’t want frameworks. They want to get the airdrop, buy the coin, sell the NFT. They don’t think in architecture. They think in buttons. Until Safe becomes a button — it’ll stay a tab in the docs. For the serious ones. For funds. Not for people ⤵️

4/6 dApp integration is a mess. Some don’t pass signatures. Some don’t batch txs. Some just crash. Even on Starknet and zkSync there’s still no Safe standard. Even Farcaster defaults to EOA. Even Frame — “new UX” — plays by old rules. Because no one wants to explain architecture ⤵️

3/6 Argent tried to wrap a smart wallet in friendliness. Rabby leaned into security. Biconomy hides signatures, Privy turns the wallet into a background process. And guess what? It works. Because users don’t want to think. They don’t want to configure. They want to click. If they can’t — they leave ⤵️
