Question for the FC intelligensia: Why don't we have more apps launching onchain?

We need more apps.

It's insanity that after 10 years we've still barely seen any crypto / blockchain apps go mainstream, yet companies are still rebuilding the same programming environments over and over expecting a different result.

Now we have close to 1,000 L1s and L2s,

I’m working on one right now. My goal is to make the crypto parts undetectable to a normie. I think the key to this is using embedded wallets, sponsored gas, no fiat on-ramps required. If we get one good mass market example of a frictionless crypto experience in an app/game others will follow.

Casting about:
- AI
- working on Coinbase Wallet
- renovating my MCM 1960s house
- plants

Explore the EIPs / ERCs mentioned in this cast:

The one big hurdle is Apple gatekeeping crypto features from their apps but I’m hoping to find clever ways to incorporate crypto functionality while staying within guidelines. If it wasn’t for Apple’s vendetta against crypto I think you’d see more ERC20s used for IAP.

Agree, Warpcast is a great example of an app built on crypto rails that is accessible to normies.

just tipped you $1 usdc by liking your cast

can do the same for normie accounts or anyone using any app or mini app on FC that supports FC feeds and/or likes

@tipn tippers will soon start proga-magically earning after tipping too

familiar action front, unexpected results thanks to hidden crypto magic

lmk what you cook up, really want to figure out how we can move minting to payment agnostic for Basepaint.

if I was fired from Eigen today, this is where I would start work tomorrow.
