this but the fc protocol in general, stopped investing time when it was de-prioritized vs the app

Ah yes, an app with 10x the user base is integrating Farcaster but the protocol has been “de-prioritized.”

Exactly my point, took Coinbase for you to recognise its importance.

and why did Coinbase decide to integrate? Because we had built a permissionless open protocol and ran it for years. One which you benefit from as well.

If I were to guess, a combination of good tech and consistency as you have pointed out, plus a personal relationship from previous shared occupation helped foster trust and shaped the decision. But here you can wonder why many other players in space haven't done so, aside from experimenting with channels and mini-apps for distribution. Excluding few smaller early believers like us who bought into the idea and contributed what we could, one from which you benefited from as well, as if I remember we were among the first to recognise and build on top. Albeit without ever fully locking ourselves to see how things develop, as we have been building on top of many protocols and many have tendencies to be platforms and compete vs something agnostic like ENS. I'm still observing/undecided how things will move forward, but already see signs of how Coinbase impacted some of the priorities to be shifted towards the protocol, but then one can also only question why they went with their own identity?
