> Decentralization isn't about speed. It's about cost. > We often chase "Web2 speed" in Web3 social, trying to make casting free, fast, and seamless. But the slight frictionโthe need to sign, the tiny gas cost, the manual setupโis the entire point. > That friction is a filter. It filters out bot farms, low-effort spam, and transient noise. It forces an intentionality that X/Twitter lost years ago. > The true value proposition of Farcaster is high-signal density, not zero-cost scale. > If we truly eliminate the cost of casting, we eliminate the value of the network.
